THIS SUNDAY'S GUEST ARTIST


Robbie Cox


A Nashville native, Robbie Cox began his inevitable journey into songwriting in his twenties—with a guitar in hand and a lifetime’s worth of healing ahead of him. Honest, vulnerable, and deeply personal, his songs explore the journey of connection, healing, and learning to see ourselves with greater compassion. Though he has yet to officially release his music, Robbie is preparing to bring his first album to life in the near future.

PRAYER AND CARE

 

Spiritual Mind Treatment

by Rev. Marla Sanderson, RScP


There is just one thing going on in this universe, and it is the life of God, Creator of all things. It expresses Itself throughout all of Its creation and It expresses through me now and always according to my thoughts and beliefs.


I am learning to make a practice of thinking positively and always expecting the very highest and best from this Infinitely Creative and Loving Source. As I do this, I notice that I am happier, healthier, and more joyful, and outer circumstances in my life just keep getting better and better.



It is so exciting and delightful to experience this wonderfully intentional way of living and I make a point of being grateful every day for the life I am creating. Thankfully, gratefully, I release these words to the Creative Law, knowing that they are true for me now and always will be.


And so it is.

BOOKSTORE BUZZ

Do You Have Your "Textbook"?


Ernest Holmes’ The Science of Mind—our beloved “Textbook”—is the foundation of the Science of Mind teaching. Each January, CSL communities explore the first four chapters together.


The Textbook is more than principles and philosophy. It also includes spiritual mind treatments, meditations, a dictionary, and a yearlong reading guide.


Want to go deeper this January? Pick up a copy in the CSLN Bookstore and explore the teachings at your own pace. You’ll also find other works by Dr. Holmes, including This Thing Called You.


Stop by the CSLN Bookstore and see what speaks to you!


Science Of Mind MAGAZINE

Your Monthly Spiritual Companion!


Available in the CSLN Bookstore!


Science of Mind Magazine is more than a publication—it’s a century-long spiritual legacy - turning 100 years old in 2027.

With uplifting articles, meditations, and real stories from real people, each issue offers a dose of inspiration.
