Hawthorn Center 6175 Sunny Spring, Columbia, MD, United StatesIn The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes wrote that the essence of the whole teaching of Science of Mind is Universal Energy, Life Itself, creating individualized centers of expression through humanity functioning at the level of its concept of this Universal Energy, Life.
