Resources

Dr. Elma Lumsden founded the Temple of Light in 1981, after being introduced to the Science of Mind through the mentorship of Dr. Raymond Charles Barker while working as a nurse in the United States. Upon returning to Jamaica, she began sharing this teaching with others, first by hosting regular study group sessions on her home's veranda.

This initial group of Science of Mind students quickly grew, and through their combined efforts, they could secure the funds to purchase the property we now use as our church grounds.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Centre’s mission is to touch, to heal, to bless, to prosper, to love, and to liberate anyone with whom we come into contact. We do this through educating and teaching, spiritual coaching and counseling; and community building.

The Temple of Light Centre for Spiritual Living is a beacon of collective consciousness, revealing love, joy, peace, and prosperity to all.

We believe in the Values of Love, Light, Prosperity, Health,
Right Actions, Joy, Gratitude and Peace for all.

Testimonials

I’m extremely pleased with the SOM Spanish class I took with Dr. Pellarolo. She had very helpful handouts illustrating how to use SOM vernacular in Spanish and I am now confident that I can give treatments in Spanish! Woohoo! I’d love to take it again, just to practice combining my treatment and Spanish skills!

Rev. Dr. Raymont Anderson has held my interest with ASL Skill building by his wit, humor and professionalism. I always appreciate when our center features Rev. Raymont, singing with his skilled hands, signing beautifully as the music plays. I enjoyed this series immensely and look forward to signing up for the 2022 ASL series.

I began giving to Science of Mind before I had enough to pay my regular bills because I believed Ernest Holmes’ messages. To grow a plant, you must plant a seed and tend it. That seed is the knowledge that we are already prosperous beyond measure and that sharing our abundance with our source opens the floodgates of a joyful, serving experience of Life.
