Religious Scientists believe, very simply,
that the Universe is fundamentally
spiritual—it has intelligence, purpose,
beauty and order. 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. Our beliefs are in harmony with the
basic tenets of all the world’s great
religions.
Religious Scientists believe that God is a
loving Infinite Intelligence, operating
through and in all of life, never separate
from anyone or anything. Through classes and
study we come to understand our oneness with
this indwelling Divine Presence. The way of
life we teach and practice is learning how
to live in accordance with spiritual
principles. These principles, or
metaphysical laws, are as reliable as the
laws of physical science.
In the scientific aspect of Science of
Mind®, we believe there is a body of
knowledge about spiritual laws which
operates in the Universe as Cause and
Effect. We teach that "It is done unto you
as you believe." 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.
