On the Spiritual Path

Religious Science Baltimore is a spiritual community that's committed to helping people live creative, prosperous, and meaningful lives. We do this by teaching and living the Universal Principles of New Thought Religious Science, also known as the Science of Mind®.

We believe that this is a spiritual universe. We believe that the power of our thought, backed by natural spiritual laws, can heal, fulfill, and transform us. We know that it is done unto us as we believe. With groups for spiritual support throughout the week, regular classes and workshops, and weekly Celebrations of Life, our community has many ways to support you on the path to a deeper and more profound experience of your own spiritual nature.

If you'd like to visit the Center to see if it's for you, you are always welcome. Our Celebration of Life takes place each week at 10:00 am. Join us at the Padonia Park Club in Cockeysville, Maryland. You'll be glad you did.

If you've seen the Oprah Winfrey show, listened to Deepak Chopra or Marianne Williamson, or have noticed that your attitude affects your health and happiness, you've experienced the ideas of New Thought at work. More than just positive thinking that tries to make the best of whatever's happening, the Science of Mind teaches that this Universe is governed by natural spiritual laws. As we learn to use those laws intelligently and creatively, we can literally change our thinking and change our lives. The power of creation resides in us. This is a far cry from the mere manipulation of thoughts!

Religious Science is about making a potent connection with your divine source. We teach people how to use the power of prayer to heal, to unite, to restore balance, to bring peace of mind, to uncover prosperity, and to awaken us to our own spiritual magnificence. People from all walks of life have discovered how to unleash their inner potential by awakening their hearts to the divine presence within them.

The principles we teach and practice aren't something brand new. They've been taught and practiced in all religious traditions over the millennia.

About New Thought...

New Thought in its current form is a relatively new spiritual denomination. Its beliefs and practices are older than dirt. Appearing early in the 20th century, New Thought Religious Science was founded by Ernest Holmes, who was a student of many world traditions. He took the essential principles of truth from those traditions — refreshingly leaving the dogma and rigidity behind - and wove them into a teaching far more accessible for people of today.

Religious Science teaches that there are naturally occurring spiritual laws or principles that govern the universe. Once we learn about these laws, we can begin to apply them consciously in our lives to heal, enrich, and deepen our spiritual experience.

Perhaps the simplest and most elegant expression of these laws is this: It is done unto you as you believe.

Nothing new at all there! What Religious Science teaches is how to deeply examine our beliefs, feelings, attitudes, and habits. We learn to explore consciousness in a new way - not as a curiosity, but with the understanding that it is our individualized consciousness that determines the experience we have of life. The Science of Mind teaches affirmative prayer, also known as Spiritual Mind Treatment, as the means to change our belief at depth. It is this spiritual tool that we use to build consciousness. If we learn to change how we think and what we believe, we can change our lives...for the better!
