Education: Science of Mind Classes

Purpose & Mission

Simply put, Science of Mind teaches the unity of all life. Intentions and ideas flow through a field of consciousness, which actually affects and creates the world around us. This idea is common to most major religions and is supported by the teachings of psychology and quantum physics.

About Us

In Science of Mind, we believe that the secret to living a successful life is to consciously choose positive and productive thoughts. Put another way, “As you think, so you become.” It is the intention of the International Centers for Spiritual Living to use Science of Mind principles as a force for good in our world by transforming personal lives.

The Sunday experience at Center for Spiritual Living C.O.L.O.R.S. is great, and the music and words inspire us. Then we mix and mingle. We meet and greet. We share with like-minded people; congeniality runs high, and we make some new friends, acquaintances or even business contacts, and it is truly a rewarding and enjoyable time.

But, what then? Do you go home to satisfyingly reconnect with those with whom you share domestic bliss? Or do you fortify yourself with the morning's message and return to the person or issue that you forgot for a couple of hours? Or perhaps you return to the loneliness of wondering "but, what now?"

When you are ready to take it to the next level, you decide to see for yourself what Science of Mind classes are really all about. What you find is a spiritual gathering place for people who are committed to greater focus and clarity in determining what they really want their lives to be about. You also find a common purpose and desire to more deeply understand and apply Universal Laws.

Those who "stay the course" form an incredible bond, unified by their dedication to applying spiritual principles to the everyday problems of human living. This is a movement from theory to embodiment. As you study the Science of Mind, you awaken to the dawning of new insights upon your consciousness. Suddenly, the words Life, Principle, Reality, the Law of Mind, Pure Awareness, God, and Spiritual Mind Treatment take on a new significance. There is an excitement in working and supporting you and others in using the Science of Mind and Spirit, to more effectively, promptly, and constructively move through obstacles and ultimately to manifest desired results.
