ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ernest Holmes

Ernest Holmes was a man who came up with some ideas about how we can be happy and successful in life. He thought that our thoughts and feelings play a big part in shaping our experiences, so if we want good things to happen to us, we need to think positively and feel good about ourselves. He called this idea "the law of attraction."

Holmes also believed in the power of our own minds to heal our bodies, so he created a type of meditation called "spiritual mind treatment" to help people focus their thoughts on wellness and healing.

The ideas that Holmes had were called "New Thought," and they were a kind of spiritual philosophy that focused on personal growth, inner peace, and the power of our own minds to shape our lives. Many people still follow these teachings today and find them helpful in achieving their goals and finding happiness.
