Raymond HolliwellDr.Raymond Holliwell (1900-1986) was a student and master of the Laws
of Living and was informed by years of research and study to
discover the truths of life. His intention was to present his teachings simply,
without high-mided words or vague statements that sound pretty and promising.
He believed people could grow in knowledge and are able to form better
opinions, in order to change their views. "The wise man changes his mind; the
fool never." There can be no progress without change, no growth without
renewal.He was born on January 6, 1900, in the small town of Waverly,
Iowa, and showed early interest in literature, ideology, and religious belief.
Holliwell received his Bachelor's degree in Philosophy in 1922 at The
University of Iowa. Followed by earning his Master's in Psychology in 1925 at
the same university. To deepen his understanding of spiritual and esoteric
training, Holliwell examined various world religions, including Christianity,
Buddhism, and Hinduism. He also had an eager interest in the works of Ralph
Waldo Emerson and the New Thought Movement.In the very early
1930s, Holliwell began functioning as a lecturer and instructor, sharing his
insights on metaphysics, spirituality, and the power of the human mind. He
became recognized for his ability to synthesize intricate suggestions right
into conveniently understandable ideas, making him a prominent speaker in the
"New Thought" movement.He was unique at the time, because he
wrote to both men and women, even before politically correct gender balancing
became of importance to our society. He believed The Law teaches
how to use divine intelligence, the first cause to formulate, interact, and
master how to bring balance, harmony, love, and joy into one's life. And by
following these laws, a person's life will blossom and be more nourished so
they can become happier and a beacon of service to others.Holliwell
wrote many articles and books over his lifetime in which, "Working
with the Law: 11 Truth Principles for Successful Living" became the
cornerstone of his teachings. This book, first published in 1964, described 11
universal laws that, when comprehended as well as applied, can cause a much
more fulfilling and thriving human existence. These laws consist of: The Law of
Thinking, The Law of Supply, The Law of Attraction, The Law of Receiving, The
Law of Increase, The Law of Compensation, The Law of Non-Resistance, The Law of
Forgiveness, The Law of Sacrifice, The Law of Obedience and The Law of Success.
