It explains how our thinking becomes the law of our life and that instead of blaming God for our suffering and our challenges we should understand the need to change our thinking, which will, in turn, change our life. This isn't as easy as it might appear, but can be done with effort and practice. The goal is to understand that we are co-creators with God, and connected to the All Knowing. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) founded Religious Science, an important part of the New Thought movement. Schooled in Christian Science, he moved to Los Angeles in 1912. Holmes published his first book, Creative Mind in 1919, and followed it up with Creative Mind and Success, and then The Science of Mind in 1926. Holmes had an immense influence on New Age beliefs, particularly his core philosophy that we create our own reality.
