First in Our Series: Dr.
Ernest Holmes
The Founder of Religious Science, Ernest Holmes, was born in
1887, the youngest of nine sons raised on a small farm in Maine.
Thirsting for knowledge and the freedom to think independently,
he left home at 18 and began a quest of the mind, the heart, and
the spirit.
His studies with some of the greatest thinkers of his time
embraced a wealth of philosophies and beliefs, and his lifelong
journey took him to levels of consciousness that he truly
believed, and taught, were open to every human being.
His seminal work, The Science of Mind, assembled the
mystical wisdom of the ages into a spiritual masterpiece that is
as relevant today as it was more than 80 years ago. It has been
said of this book that “much like Lao Tzu left the Tao Te Ching
with the gatekeeper before wandering away into the desert,
Ernest Holmes left, in the pages of Science of Mind, a love note
for those who followed him.”
He departed this physical realm in 1960, a humble and wise man
who had spent his life walking the mystic’s path and inviting
everyone on Earth to walk it with him. |

THE ARTIST In
partnership with The Heartlight Community, renowned portrait
artist, Frank Tauriello, whose subjects have included such
historic individuals as John F. Kennedy, Gov. Ronald
Reagan, Supreme Court Justices, and many others, has created
an original oil on canvas of the founder of Religious Science,
Dr. Ernest Holmes.
Bringing to this project a unique ability to
capture the essence, the true inner self of an individual, Frank
has made it possible for every church and center to have this
extraordinary image lovingly displayed as a reminder of our
shared path. His lifelong dedication to Dr. Holmes’ message has
inspired him to undertake this project, and to share generously
the proceeds with our church.
What is Gicleé Printing?
Gicleé (pronounced jee-clay) prints are exceptionally faithful
copies of original artworks. Unlike lithographs, which are
produced by the traditional offset printing press, gicleé prints
are made using printers that “spray” tiny droplets of ink onto
the canvas. High quality gicleé prints are produced with state
of the art digital technology, archival pigmented inks, and acid
free canvas.
This process produces an image that has all
the tonalities and hues of the original painting with unrivaled
color accuracy and detail, as well as a print that will maintain
its integrity for decades to come.
Gicleé prints are accepted as “museum quality”
and are rapidly becoming the standard for high-quality art
reproduction. They are a highly collectible, established medium
in the fine-art community worldwide. |
