Exploring the Roots of Science of Mind presents some of the writings of the three authors who had the most influence on Ernest Holmes in his development of the Science of Mind philosophy. They are studied in the sequence by which they impacted his life: Ralph Waldo Emerson, the distinguished New England philosopher and essayist; Thomas Troward, an eminent British jurist and metaphysician; and Emma Curtis Hopkins, a greatly respected American teacher and mystic, often called the “teacher of teachers.”
