SCIENCE of Mind magazine was first published in 1927. Just two years later, the Stock Market crash of 1929 ushered in the Great Depression. During the 1930s and beyond, the empowering Science of Mind philosophy served as a light to inspire a nation. The message is clear: your thought is powerful and you can use it to create the life you desire.

Today, still, we hunger for the uplifting messages that help us remember who we really are. The yearning appears to be stronger than ever. And the good news seems to be everywhere! The number of New Thought books published has grown exponentially. As writers embrace the truth of Oneness, popular fiction even depicts heroines conducting research on the power of thought.

The number of centers teaching our philosophy has burgeoned. Some of the most-rapidly growing com­munities thrive in places that once would have been considered unlikely, such as Russia and Ukraine. In the midst of great challenges, the foundation of timeless truth remains a constant. In this issue, we celebrate the power of thought to change and heal lives, cure the sick, rebuild communities, and reach across interna­tional boundaries to create a world that works.

Recently, our staff received a phone message from a reader. We gathered around the phone, with tears glis­tening in our eyes, to hear this message: “It is not nec­essary for my call to be heard, but it’s necessary for me to express. I’ve been a long-line truck driver most of my life. For forty years, I’ve been a subscriber to Scienceof Mind magazine. That’s been my comfort. My days now are limited; we’re counting ’em down. Before I’m finished with my life, I need to thank you for making this magazine available.” It sure was “necessary” for us to hear this message. We are humbled and honored to do this work.
