Welcome! The Oak Park Church of Religious Science is one of Chicago area's most established New Thought
centers. We teach "change your thinking, change your experience." To change our deeply rooted thinking patterns
is, as you may already know, not easy. It takes discipline and a great deal of self love. It makes sense, therefore,
to surround yourself with loving support that can inspire and encourage you to maintain the thinking that will lead you to
where you want to go.

Religious Science is a philosophy grounded in the practical
relationship between our thoughts and our experiences. Dr. Holmes, the founder, wrote, "if we say we can only experience
a little good, then we shall experience but a little good. But if we say, with Emerson, 'There is no great and no small
to the Soul that maketh all,' then we may experience a greater good because we have conceived it. Our belief sets the
limit to our demonstration of a Principle which, of Itself, is without limit. It is ready to fill everything, because It is
infinite. It is not a question of Its willingness, nor of Its ability; it is entirely a question of our own receptivity."
It is our divine birthright to enjoy living, to be well, happy, and free to do
what we want to do when we want to do it. We are in charge of our experience. But we must make this great discovery for ourselves.
We can help. Religious Science contains the best thought of the ages and presents this thought in a manner that can be understood
by all. Stop by or give us a call.
We are located on the second floor at 6832 West North Avenue Chicago, IL 60707

Financial Success Is Possible for Everyone!
There is a way of being sad that is beyond sad. It is believing that success is for other people and not me. And what makes
this state of affairs even worse is when the economic conditions make success challenging even for those who already have
an established track record of success. Well, success has nothing to do with economic conditions.
It has nothing to do with age, race, where we live, how much education we have, or how much money is available to us right
now. Success is possible for you and me, and everyone because all that is available to anyone is available to everyone. Wallace Wattles in his book, "Financial Success" writes: "All that is available to everyone
is available to you." All that is available to Donald Trump is available to you and me. Money, connections, opportunities
ebb and flow even for Donald Trump, so what is the "All" that is available to all? To understand this is the key
to success in all areas of living. Physically we are all made of the same stuff. A living being and
a distant star are made of the same elements. What gives rise to these physical forms, at the most basic level, is the polarity
of energy and substance. An example of the infinite variety of possibilities that can be generated from such a simple binary
polarity is the artificial intelligence that runs our computers. It boggles the intellect with its ever expanding scope. So
in life, because we are alive, each one is the embodiment of this energy and substance, and so, the building blocks of all
expression are centered in you and in me. All is available to everyone to have the life they desire.
Now, if all is available to eveyone, what is it that limits what we get to enjoy? The answer is simple and profound. We can
have as much good as we can accept without triggering some denial of it within us. In other words, as much as we can accept,
that much we can enjoy. We are enjoying in our life right now as much good, as much success as we can accept. But, we can
expand how much good we can accept. We can expand what we can accept by contemplating the idea that
"All that is available to everyone is available to me." I invite you to come to understand the full implications
of this statement. Do you agree? Why? Do you disagree? Why? Let yourself be challenged in what you have come to accept as
true about you. Reality is much more supportive of you than what you may have dared to believe so far, but it is, and with
this understanding you dissolve your self-imposed denials to all good available to you right now. This new understanding will
open the channels for the life your heart is pining for. You were born to succeed. You
are designed for success. You are the power of success. As a great teacher once said, "It is done unto you as you believe."
Believe life is for you, that all of life is right where you are, aand that if you do not oppose your success, nothing exists
that can.
