What We Believe – Our Guiding
Principles
Center for Spiritual Living – Denver is an affiliated member of
United/International Centers for Spiritual Living, a global organization with
hundreds of “centers” for spiritual living.
We believe that the Universe is
fundamentally spiritual, and that it has intelligence, purpose, beauty and
order. Our beliefs are in harmony with the basic tenets of all the world’s
great religions and for that reason we honor all paths to God. Whether we call
it God, spirit, energy, or Universal Intelligence, every person, place and
thing emanates from this spiritual universe. We believe this Universal
Intelligence is within us, as well as around us, and that we are conscious of
it.
We believe that God is a loving
intelligence, operating in and through all life, never separate from anyone or
anything. Through classes, study, and spiritual practice we come to understand
our oneness with this indwelling Divine Presence. We teach and practice a way
of life where we can all learn how to live in accordance with spiritual
principles. These principles, which we call the Science of Mind®, are as
reliable as the laws of physical science. We believe there is a body of
knowledge about spiritual laws that operates in the Universe as Cause and
Effect. We teach that "It is done unto you as you believe" and “As
you think, so you become.” In essence, our thinking and our expectations create
our reality. It is in studying and applying spiritual laws that we can change
our unconscious beliefs and create improved conditions in our lives.
Each spiritual community within
United/International Centers for Spiritual Living teaches Affirmative Prayer
and other spiritual tools designed to help us lead a spiritual life, think
positively, and love deeply. Simply put, at Center for Spiritual Living, we
provide spiritual tools to transform our personal lives and make the world a
better place.
We Are a New Thought Spiritual
Community
Center for Spiritual Living is a
“New Thought” spiritual community and is an affiliated member of the United Centers for
Spiritual Living. In 2009, we changed our name from the Denver
Church of Religious Science to Center for Spiritual Living – Denver.
The New Thought tradition dates to
the 1880s and has its roots in the Transcendentalist Movement of the 1830s. New
Thought has a long and respected history, and includes luminaries such as Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, P
hineas
Quimby, and Emma Curtis Hopkins. Some of the better known authors today whose
writings parallel our are Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle (author
of A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose) as well as many
others.
Our teachings incorporate the
ancient wisdom of all the spiritual traditions through the ages. People of all
spiritual paths -- Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, New Age and
others -- are all welcome in our communities.
Our Founder
Dr. Ernest Holmes (January 21, 1887
- April 7, 1960) was the Founder of United/International Centers for Spiritual
Living. Dr. Holmes’ book, The Science of Mind, is recognized today as
one of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics and New Thought.
Dr. Holmes developed a universal
philosophy and tools for spiritual living that profoundly resonate to this day.
His work provides us with a personal spiritual path, an understanding of our
relationship with the Universe, and a connected and joyful approach to daily
living.
