WELCOME TO TEACHING SCIENCE OF MIND!
Welcome to the Education Catalog for Centers for Spiritual Living focusing on certificated education
from Foundational level courses through Practitioner Training. This document provides Centers and
instructors with the latest education information and procedures. This document will be updated
periodically and the newest versions will be uploaded to the internal website: www.ourcsl.org.
Centers for Spiritual Living is undergoing an education overhaul. There are many committees and teams
working on enhancing and enriching our educational materials, procedures and deliveries. The new
curriculum will be developed with a global and inclusive perspective in mind. I know that through our
collaboration we will offer the best of our intellectual and heart-centered materials to our
students. Our goal is always to offer the best of Centers for Spiritual Living to the world. Together
we take what began as a series of lectures by our founder, Ernest Holmes, in an auditorium in Los
Angeles almost 90 years ago and realize the greater vision of making this teaching available to every
person seeking it.
This catalog is a result of the collective efforts of the Centers for Spiritual Education Department staff,
the Education Committee and input from the field. The process of continuously enhancing and evolving
our curriculum and delivery is underway. This catalog provides up-to-date educational policies and
procedures, information to register students for courses, the education requirements for practitioner
training and instructions to obtain transcripts for licensing. All changes in Centers for Spiritual Living
Education policy and procedure will be published in this document.
The CSL Education Catalog complements the Centers for Spiritual Living Policies and Procedures Manual,
which is often referenced here. Together, the Education Catalog, the Policies and Procedures Manual,
and the individual course curricula are designed to provide Centers with everything they need to teach
Science of Mind to students in their respective communities.
Thank you for your consciousness and sacred service in offering these courses and for the redesign of
Centers for Spiritual Living Education. Please know that the Education Committee and the Education
Department of Centers for Spiritual Living are always here to serve the Centers and students of this
teaching.
Love and Gratitude,
Rev. Nicole Merges
Manager, Spiritual Development Education

EDUCATION PROGRAM
Organizational Vision: Centers for Spiritual Living is a global organization comprised of individuals and communities committed to living consciously as expressions of God.
Education Vision: Centers for Spiritual Living provides education that transforms lives, igniting the potential of each individual to connect with their True Self and to apply and express love, and facilitates personal and global stewardship, healing and connection.
Our Mission: Our mission is to continuously create a profound, professional, and provocative curriculum with emphasis on the consciousness as embodied and taught by Dr. Ernest Holmes. We produce curriculum that includes the practices of Spiritual Mind Treatment, Meditation, and Visioning, and is consistent with the philosophy of Science of Mind, while reflecting ageless wisdom and exploring new ideas from modern science, quantum physics, and psycho-spiritual approaches to Truth. PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION PROGRAM
The purpose of the education program of Centers for Spiritual Living is to provide the resources, structure,
awareness, methods and tools to support spiritual education to our world and fulfill the vision and mission of the
organization through transformative delivery of our courses of study.
The philosophy of the education program embodies the following tenets:
Centers for Spiritual Living places great trust in its ministers to lead, teach, facilitate and oversee the education programs in its member communities, and its practitioners to deliver the programs with the approval and under the supervision of a senior minister.
Our work as teachers is ultimately about supporting our students in transforming their consciousness. In doing so, it is ultimately the consciousness of the teacher that is continuously expanding. Our daily spiritual practice as teachers and the resulting expanded consciousness is ultimately what the teacher has to offer the student. The education curriculum is designed to free the teacher to focus on expanding and transforming consciousness.
The Science of Mind teaching provides universal spiritual principles with which students may transform their lives. It is not meant to be dogmatic; the greatest interest is in fostering students’ development and growth along their spiritual path, and not to convince them to adopt the Science of Mind philosophy, although many students will simply because of its powerful impact on our lives.
It is a sacred honor to be a spiritual teacher, and with that comes great responsibility to treat students with dignity, honor, respect and reverence. This need not be approached with fear but approached with great humility and humbleness.
The Education Department and Education Committee of Centers for Spiritual Living are here to support the work of our ministers and practitioners as teachers of Science of Mind courses. While these two bodies are entrusted with overseeing and implementing policies and procedures, their highest role and intent is to facilitate the greatest possibility of offering the Science of Mind teaching in the most effective
way to our students around the world. Teachers are encouraged to reach out to the members of these groups for support.

ETHICS OF THE SPIRITUAL TEACHER
Why a Section on Ethics?
Ethics is a system of moral principles or rules of conduct or practice, recognized by a particular culture or group.
An ethical act is one where we refrain from causing harm to others’ experiences or expectations of
happiness. Like a spiritual act, it fosters love, patience, and tolerance. The motivation for ethical acts moves
from a consciousness of caring and seeking to benefit others, rather than from self-interest. These acts make
for lasting rather than momentary, happiness and a sense of well-being. The Dalai Lama (in Ethics for the New Millennium) suggests that those individuals whose conduct is ethically
positive are happier and more satisfied than those who disregard ethics. Yet, conducting ourselves ethically
means more than merely obeying laws and precepts. It means guarding against those factors which
obstruct inner peace and promoting those things conducive to inner peace (i.e., concern for others and a
high degree of sensitivity and feeling). A consideration of ethics is an invitation to consider inner
motivations and the consequences of one’s own actions. Ethics for Science of Mind Classrooms As Ministers and Practitioners, we are teachers and facilitators of learning environments for understanding
and practicing the Science of Mind teaching. We create teaching and learning environments and
experiences in which students who desire to discover and apply this philosophy in their lives may do so. This
is accomplished not only through the content of the material studied, but also the experiences they have
through what we model for them, and through what is shared by their fellow students.
Our intention is that students experience the following: 1. SPIRITUALITY: We model the practice of universal principles expressed by Ernest Holmes in his statement
“What We Believe.” That is, we look beyond materiality and invite ourselves and our students into
demonstrating an openness to the Unseen, as The Presence is ever seeking to express itself in new ways in
our daily lives. 2. LOVE: We allow the blessings of Spirit to flow through us and as us so students have an opportunity to
discover they are welcome, appreciated, valued, heard, understood, respected, guided, responded to, and
validated for the variety of ways which they express. 3. INTEGRITY: We honor our spiritual beliefs and are fair in our actions. Students have the opportunity to
see consistency between what we say and do. We refrain from any romantic or sexual relationship with our
students. Students experience the sacredness of the trust they place in the teacher.
4. CARING: We are concerned about, have affection for, and make a conscientious effort to ensure
each student has the best learning experience.
9
5. COMPASSION: In all we say and do, we express kindheartedness and generosity toward all. Teachers
should be consciously aware of the impact of their words and actions on others’ wellbeing. This is
demonstrated in how assignments are recommended the way students receive feedback and the nature of
dialogue and discussion.
6. ACCOUNTABILITY: We are conscientious in fulfilling all course and education program agreements with
Centers for Spiritual Living and with the students. We enthusiastically seek opportunities to report to CSL all
that is requested, to explain students’ responsibilities and to fulfill students’ expectations as identified in
course descriptions. 7. TEAMWORK: We encourage students to learn and work together in harmony. At times students are in
positions where they follow, lead, engage in consensus and have the opportunity for individual choices. 8. OPEN COMMUNICATION: We create opportunities for teachers and students to express their own
thoughts and hear others’ authentic thoughts and points of view. Students and teachers discuss, dialogue
and explore meanings behind points of view and feelings expressed. 9. CONFIDENTIALITY: Students experience a safe environment where confidentiality around individual
sharing is agreed upon by all. 10. EDUCATION: We recognize the unique needs of adult learners. Our students have opportunities to
reason, discern, acquire knowledge, intuit, contemplate and prepare to live as spiritually mature and
enlightened individuals. They have opportunities to discover, think, talk, observe and create. They are
provided ways to practically apply universal principles and sacred stories to their personal circumstances and
to contemporary issues.
11. COMMUNITY SERVICE: We create opportunities for students to discover their internal motivations,
spontaneous expressions, and spiritual commitment as they anchor their spiritual growth through sacred
service in the local and global community.

TEACHING AND LEARNING IN SCIENCE OF MIND CLASSROOMS
Let us begin this section with a quote from our Founder, Ernest Holmes in The Science of Mind:
Peace be unto thee, stranger, enter and be not afraid.
I have left the gate open and thou art welcome to my home.
There is room in my house for all.
I have swept the hearth and lighted the fire.
The room is warm and cheerful and you will find comfort and rest within.
The table is laid and the fruits of Life are spread before thee.
The wine is here also, it sparkles in the light.
I have set a chair for you where the sunbeams dance through the shade.
Sit and rest and refresh your soul. Eat of the fruit and drink the wine.
All, all is yours, and you are welcome.
May this be the spirit and vibration in each of our Science of Mind classrooms!
Teacher Responsibilities
Expressing from the consciousness Ernest Holmes so beautifully established in The Science of Mind you, as
teachers of the Science of Mind, are invited to enter into the “Teaching Order,” the hallmark of our Religious
Science Ministry. You serve the community drawn to your portals, by using the best methods for providing
teaching and learning experiences. Teachers of the Science of Mind do this by creating a student- centered
teaching and learning environment which is attractive, warm, joyful, spiritually inspiring, honoring diversity,
intellectually challenging and practically useful.
Student-Centered Learning in the Science of Mind Classroom:
Supports Students’ Divinity: Science of Mind teaches that all come with the potential of revealing the Divine. Therefore, Science of Mind teachers recognize that each student comes with assets (ideas, ways of perceiving life experiences and ways of doing things) upon which the learning activities may be built toward an expanded repertoire.
Supports Students to Embody the Principles: Ernest Holmes reminds us that in order to understand, one must embody --- or make a concept a part of one’s being --- in thought, feelings and body. Science of Mind teachers provide opportunities for students to be actively engaged in learning by using experiential methods and by discovering and using outer and inner senses, to acquire and to express new understandings.
Enables Students to Be Motivated and Find Meaning: Adult learning theory suggests it is essential to draw on the experiences of mature students to stimulate interest in acquiring new understandings and to make topics relevant. Science of Mind teachers provide opportunities for students to relate personal, cultural, historical, and contemporary experiences to the content of the course being explored.
11
Provides Joyfully Attractive and Orderly Environment: Teachers and staff working with students are
encouraged to bring and inspire feelings of warmth and joy. Opportunities are provided for students to
be engaged with the information, to feel connected to the community of learners, to have fun
discovering and relating to one’s own foibles and expansiveness and to laugh and be surprised when the
new opens into the familiar.
Prepares for and stimulates a Spiritually Inspiring Atmosphere: Science of Mind teachers are expected
to set the tone for the course by engaging in pre-class activity to prepare their own consciousness to be
a transparent place through which Spirit flows freely into the learning experience with joy, wisdom,
intuitive insights, and brilliant guidance. Teachers provide the opportunity for students to be open to
the information to be shared. Each session starts with a centering moment - invocation, treatment,
meditation and/or visioning experience. During the session, the teacher guides students into deeper
realms of thinking, knowing, and expressing by asking thought-provoking questions, inviting intuitive
revelations, and engaging in creative expressions. The atmosphere is charged with students’
expressions of awe, wonder, compassion, and devotion.
Honors Students’ Diversity: Science of Mind teachers embrace the Global Vision of Centers for Spiritual
Living and recognize that the people of the world are of one inclusive community, our global family.
Teachers provide opportunities in the classroom for students to consciously deepen their sense of
connectedness with people of different economic, age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic, nationality,
religious, and cultural backgrounds and experiences. Sensitive to Ernest Holmes’ thinking that unity
does not mean uniformity, the teacher takes time to find out about, experience, and support ways of
learning appropriate for cultures different from his/her own. The teacher creates opportunities for
students to acknowledge and accept differences among people. The teacher is an example of, and
facilitates harmony, respect, and fairness among people of different cultural groups in the spiritual
community. The teacher uses relevant language and examples, while facilitating application activities to
allow for unique ways of perceiving, understanding, and applying information to be honored.
Establishes Intellectually Challenging Assignments: Teachers present the curriculum in a way that
ensures that students participating in the course are challenged. Teachers raise questions stimulating
critical thinking, analytical processing, and summarizing the concepts discussed. Students discover they
are informed, mentally stretched, and/or soulfully deepened.
Strives to make Outcomes Practical: Science of Mind Teachers use, as examples, master teachers from
throughout the ages, to provide avenues through which the subtle, the paradoxes, and the transcendent
ways of knowing may become practically applied in students’ daily lives. Teachers use sacred stories,
the koans (the pithy and paradoxical statements which teach emptiness by confounding the intellect,
forcing students back on his or her direct apprehension of Reality), parables, ceremonies, rituals, lecture
and discussions, Socratic discourse, practical demonstrations of healings and artistic expressions to
ensure students perceive practical ways to transform their lives and transcend limited ways of being—
thus opening their lives to express their innate magnificence in the world.

SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CERTIFICATED/NON-CERTIFICATED COURSES
Certificated Courses – Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL) uses the term Certificated as follows:
• A Certificated Course is designed to ensure that the universal principles, as written by Dr. Ernest Holmes and identified as Science of Mind Principles, are made transparent to students so they understand and apply the principles and related practices in their daily lives. This curriculum is recognized by CSL. Certificated Courses are made available to anyone who is seeking spiritual growth. Additionally, hours accumulated while studying in any Certificated Course may be credited toward the requirements to enter the Professional Practitioner Studies Program in CSL.
CSL Courses are not certificated nor accredited by any other agency. Therefore, the courses may not
qualify for credit at any other establishment or educational institution.
Non-Certificated Courses – These are other courses developed by ministers or practitioners of CSL and may also be offered by member communities. They are usually shorter in length than the Certificated Courses and some are designed to be used by groups within the community with or without an authorized professional leading.
AUTHORIZED PROFESSIONALS TO TEACH CERTIFICATED COURSES
All certificated courses must be taught and registered through a CSL-affiliated community in good standing or the CSL Online Education Program.
• Centers for Spiritual Living Ministers licensed or ordained are authorized to teach Certificated Courses
and the Professional Practitioner Studies Program within a member community of CSL. • Spiritual Practitioners licensed by CSL may be authorized to teach Certificated Courses if so approved
by the Senior Minister of their member community, or their Regional Support Coordinator (RSC), the authorizing individual to sign off on the Registration Form.
• Online Course Teachers must be licensed as a Practitioner or Minister of a CSL-affiliated center endorsed by CSL (See 2016 CSL Policies and Procedures 10.5). Practitioners must be approved by their Senior Minister to teach online for an affiliated community. These individuals have demonstrated proven abilities to teach Science of Mind courses and proven online course delivery skills.
• Non-Certificated Course Teachers may be anyone whom the Senior Minister or Department of Education identifies as appropriate to deliver workshops or classes consistent with the Science of Mind philosophy.
AUTHORIZED ORGANIZATIONS to TEACH CERTIFICATED COURSES
• Member Communities that are affiliated with CSL may offer Certificated Courses. If the member
community is without a Senior Minister, Certificated Courses and the Professional Practitioners Studies Program may be offered, if approved and overseen by the Regional Support Coordinator or designee. The offering of the Professional Practitioner Studies Program by a Spiritual Practitioner who is the Director of a Teaching Chapter must be approved and overseen by the Regional Support Coordinator.

be completed within the preceding five years of enrolling into Practitioner Studies. If more than five years has
elapsed, that course must be retaken. For example, if more than five years has elapsed since taking
Foundations, the course must be retaken. No certificated course older than five years will be counted as
meeting any requirement for entering Practitioner Studies unless a variance is requested in writing by the
senior minister.
Time Requirement during the Practitioner Training: The Practitioner I certificate is valid for three (3) years
from the date of course completion for entry into Practitioner II. If more than 3 years elapse between
Practitioner I and II, Practitioner I must be repeated.
Practitioner Licensing: The Practitioner II certificate is valid for two (2) years from the date of
course completion for applying for licensing.
If more than two (2) years have elapsed since completion of Practitioner II, the student must

must retake a Foundational Course and Practitioner I and/or II before initiating the licensing
process.
A practitioner license will only be issued with all pre-requisite courses registered with Centers
for Spiritual Living. An official CSL transcript of registered courses is required as part of the
practitioner license application. Transcripts can be requested by email to Misha Brigham
Responsibility for Adhering to Time Requirements: It is the member community’s responsibility to verify
that time limits have been adhered to and that course work that was previously taken is appropriately

PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONER STUDIES PROGRAM
SEE THE CSL POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES, SECTIONS 10.2 AND 10.3
FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERING PRACTITIONER STUDIES
Beginning in September 2012, the Professional Practitioner Studies Program is offered in two courses,
Practitioner I and Practitioner II, over a two-year period. Both courses may be taken either in a member
spiritual community or, where there are no such communities nearby, through the Centers for Spiritual Living
online program.
In order to be eligible for entry into the Professional Practitioner Studies Program, the student must have
completed and have registered all required courses, a minimum of 6, as specified in CSL’s Policies and
Procedures Manual. The required courses are summarized on the next page.
At the start of Practitioner Training: The Practitioner Instructor must submit a Practitioner Verification Form
no later than 30 days after the first class for all students entering into Practitioner I. This is to ensure that the
minimum requirements have been met upon entry into practitioner training. The Practitioner Verification Form
is located on page 40 or as a single form on the csl.org internal website, www.ourcsl.org.
Before entry into Practitioner II: Practitioner II students undergo a full background check through Centers for
Spiritual Living. See Section 8.1.F in the 2016 CSL Policies and Procedures manual.
At time of Practitioner Licensing: Students who complete Practitioner II and are ready to license must request a
transcript from [email protected]. This official transcript is to be attached to the practitioner application. Only
students with a complete transcript will be eligible for licensing.
Incomplete transcripts may be updated to complete. Centers should work with the Education Department

If you like history, then From Whence We Came is a course you will find most interesting. You won't have to

what we now know as Religious Science and the larger New Thought movement. These ideas originally arose
before recorded history, but were rediscovered in the 19th century by some notable people whose works are
read and discussed in this course. These great luminaries of New Thought were the first to frame them in
words and make them accessible to the general public. Released in 2012.

not only able, but also required, by the law of our own being, to take a more active part in our personal
evolution than has ever occurred in the past.

finding a realistic balance between living in the Absolute and the Relative world: It’s not a matter of “one or the
other”, but rather, discovering the key to doing both at the same time. His concept of the Double Thread is the
key element.

Mind teaching, Magic of the Soul offers a dynamic training opportunity for students. It answers questions like,
“Why haven’t I completely healed, even though I have been using spiritual mind treatment for years? How do
we deal with fear that comes up before and after treatments? How can we embrace our shadow while
affirming our divinity?” Magic of the Soul asks students to affirm and experience their inner divinity and at the
same time honor their humanness and appreciate the beauty of who they are in the here and now, on their
path to higher and higher expressions of divine nature. The most common theme throughout the text is to look
for the magic, the opportunity for growth, and the sacredness in every situation in life, especially the
challenging ones.

Spiritual fitness is a lifestyle and an attitude that can help you rediscover the real meaning and sacredness

and bringing all of you to your life experiences. It also means trusting that there is a greater power
constantly guiding you and inviting you, through your life experiences, to live more openly and lovingly.
When we trust, we start to make our choices and decisions from a place of love and courage instead of from
fear. This in turn gives us clarity and strength.

it can go longer if a talkative group. There is reading and some light homework assignments. These classes assume

Soul’s Religion by Thomas Moore. Each class contains a deep ritual process, led by a student team.

Notebook that asks them to answer questions on a daily basis. 3 weeks

anyone who would like to make careful use of the time they are given. For the practitioner, it addresses
questions of aging and empowerment, no matter what the age. The central exercise of this class is to create a
menu of your life and learn to make wise choices for your time. Text: A Time to Live by Richard Raines.
An Introduction: Spiritual Economics This is an excellent prosperity class that includes fun exercises for greater Divine Abundance. The reading of
Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth brings rich material for discussion to this course and gives the
practitioner the opportunity to look at all of life and find the flow of good moving in every area. The final class
includes the creation of a life plan for giving and receiving in all areas including money.
