Search and Copy Ernest Holmes Quotes for Free!
Between 2001 and 2011, Rev. Katherine Neville Smith produced 3 versions of a CD entitled “Ernest Holmes On…” that contained a searchable Word document with many Ernest Holmes quotes organized by topic. Our gracious thanks to Rev Katherine who has now made the final version of her document from 2011 available for free through the resources of the Archives!
Below is a link where you may download this document and open it in your word processor. It is a Word document so it may need to be converted for use in other programs.
Once the document is open, you can use the subject listing to click on a topic and jump to that category of quotes. Or alternatively, you can use your word processor search capabilities to locate a specific word or phrase within a quote. Then highlight and copy the text that you want to use.
This is a valuable tool for the student of Science of Mind!
Research Inventory of Ernest Holmes Content
The Science of Mind Archives is compiling a listing of all known available content by Ernest Holmes. This inventory includes a listing of his radio and TV shows, his Sunday talks, his magazine articles, his books, his Asilomar talks, his Tuesday “invitational classes” and more.
If you would like to view this inventory and download it for your own research, click on the link below. Note that you can also see our research notes! You will be taken to a “Google Sheet” spreadsheet (note the category tabs at the bottom).
Please know that this is an active “research document” and is a “work in progress” being continously updated. Although reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the data is accurate, there are known gaps and questions as we continue our research. However, we do believe that the information contained in the document will be quite useful to the student of Ernest Holmes. (NOTE: Much of this data will be a part of our upcoming “Past Perfect” online database.)
