The Law of Mind in Action

The Law of Mind in Action is a book by Fenwicke L. Holmes, first published in 1919. In this work Holmes offers a systematic presentation of the “one law” that he sees as underpinning all mental and spiritual experience — namely, that thought is creative, and that by understanding and applying this law one can bring about healing, prosperity, peace of mind and mastery of one’s life. Drawing on metaphysical and New Thought-influenced ideas, Holmes uses daily lessons and treatments to guide the reader in applying the principle of mental science and the power of consciousness. Holmes belonged to the New Thought tradition, (as did his brother Ernest S. Holmes), and his teaching here situates itself at the intersection of spiritual philosophy, self-improvement and metaphysical healing. The book emphasises how our inner thoughts and attitudes shape outer conditions, how “Mind in action” creates form, and how one may consciously cooperate with creative intelligence to transform one’s body, mind and environment. For anyone interested in metaphysics, mental healing, the law of attraction or spiritual self-mastery, this title is a foundational classic.
