Human Intelligence Welcomed and Revered: Science of Mind Magazine Commits Exclusively to Human Writers in the Age of AI
Our Publishing Guidelines
The Centers for Spiritual Living and its flagship publication, the Guide for Spiritual Living: Science of Mind magazine, have officially reaffirmed their longstanding commitment to human-authored content, standing firmly by the belief that genuine spiritual writing requires the lived consciousness, emotion, and authenticity that only human creators can provide.
For nearly a century, the editorial team behind Science of Mind magazine has worked diligently to preserve and expand the intellectual and spiritual legacy left behind by founder Ernest Holmes and his contemporaries. While maintaining a deep reverence for these historical foundations, the organization simultaneously keeps its sights set firmly on the future, blending perennial spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge insights to meet the evolving needs of its readership.
Throughout its nearly 100-year history, the publication has consistently welcomed diverse perspectives designed to enhance and elevate the daily lives of its readers. At the very heart of this enduring tradition is a core tenet rooted in the eternal truth of love and spiritual oneness. Today, editors and organizational leaders view this movement as not only relevant, but more urgently needed now than perhaps at any other time in modern history.
The material featured across the magazine’s pages directly addresses the multifaceted, deeply human approach to spirituality that Holmes originally envisioned. This vision has been continuously brought into the twenty-first century by a dedicated community of writers who approach complex philosophical, psychological, and spiritual issues with remarkable grace, profound humanity, and exceptional literary skill.
Religious Science, as championed by the publication and its parent organization, is explicitly recognized as a dynamic, evolving framework rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to spirituality. In alignment with this expansive worldview, the magazine actively honors and highlights the latest developments in whole-human growth, modern science, neuroscience, and contemporary psychology, weaving these discoveries together with timeless spiritual principles.
In an era defined by the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and automated content generation, the editorial team at Science of Mind is drawing a clear, uncompromising line regarding the origin of its published material. The writers who contribute to the magazine bring their distinct consciousness, personal journeys, and unique talents to its pages, carefully crafting prose that is inherently more thoughtful, more truthful, and more genuinely spiritual than anything artificial intelligence could ever hope to produce.
Editors firmly believe that the brilliance, vulnerability, and authenticity embedded within the work of their writers and creative teams are essential for supporting readers with genuine care and the deliberate articulation of complex metaphysical concepts. While proponents of technology often speculate about the future capabilities of artificial intelligence, the magazine’s leadership maintains that even if machines eventually manage to replicate or refashion the structural mechanics of writing, they will never be able to do so with the unique beauty, empathy, and love that human contributors extend to their audience.
As part of this foundational stance, the editorial team is offering a clear reassurance to its loyal readership: the publication will exclusively feature works created by human beings. Simultaneously, the organization is sending a clear message to its valued community of writers and contributors, assuring them that nothing less than their original work, expressed purely in their own authentic voices, will be accepted or published.
By upholding this rigorous standard, the magazine pays profound homage to the original intent established by Ernest Holmes and the founders of Science of Mind, honors every single author who has ever graced its pages, and respects every individual reader who turns to the publication for insight, comfort, and spiritual growth.
