Emma Curtis Hopkins

Teacher of Teachers

"There is Good for me, and I ought to have it."


Early Life

Emma Curtis Hopkins was born in 1849 in Connecticut. Though raised with a conventional religious background, her hunger for direct spiritual truth led her beyond tradition. She became a key figure in the New Thought movement and was often called the “Teacher of Teachers” for mentoring founders of Unity, Divine Science, and Religious Science.

Metaphysical Path

Emma’s teachings combined rigorous spiritual logic with profound inner conviction. She taught that Truth is absolute, and anything that denies divine perfection—whether illness, poverty, or fear—is an illusion to be rejected. Her words were bold, declarative, and uncompromising in affirming the supremacy of Spirit.

Core Teachings

Emma declared that God is Principle—unchanging, absolute Good. She taught that by aligning one’s thought with divine reality, the appearance of limitation vanishes. Her affirmations were spiritual weapons: clear, sharp, and designed to pierce illusion. Truth, spoken aloud, became her method of transformation.

Beliefs

She believed that within each soul is the full presence of the Divine. Salvation was not something to beg for—it was a fact to declare. “I am the Child of God, and therefore I do not inherit sickness,” she wrote. Her faith was not sentimental—it was structured, vocal, and defiantly clear-eyed.

Signature Practice

“Scientific Prayer” — Emma taught students to practice a form of affirmative prayer that declared spiritual truth boldly and audibly. This wasn’t passive devotion—it was the spoken claiming of divine reality, often using strong declarations like: “God is my health. I cannot be sick.”


Approach to Each Path

Overcoming DepressionLearn More

Emma taught that depression is a lie of the senses. “The Light of Truth burns away the shadow.” Declare the Good. Speak the Truth. The darkness has no law.

Easing AnxietyLearn More

She saw anxiety as misplaced faith—in fear, not God. Her solution: replace nervous thought with divine affirmation. “There is no power in fear. God is the only Power.”

Releasing Fear + ControlLearn More

Emma instructed students to cast out fear by proclaiming Truth. “There is nothing to fear. All is God.” Through repeated affirmation, fear loses its hold and control becomes unnecessary.

Healing from GriefLearn More

She taught that no life is lost. All souls remain in God’s keeping. Affirming the eternal nature of being lifts the veil of sorrow. “There is no death in God.”

Letting Go of Past HurtsLearn More

Emma saw past pain as a shadow with no substance. Her remedy? Deny its power. “I am free, for Truth makes me free.” Hurt cannot live where Truth is affirmed.

Manifesting MoneyLearn More

She boldly affirmed, “There is Good for me, and I ought to have it.” Supply is not earned—it is declared. Lack is the lie. Truth is abundance now.

Unlocking Career FlowLearn More

Emma taught that divine order governs all. Speak your purpose, declare your rightful place, and allow Spirit to guide. “There is work for me to do, and I do it with joy.”

Sacred AbundanceLearn More

She saw abundance as a natural state. “God is my Source and Supply.” Repeating this truth realigns the soul with divine sufficiency—beyond appearances.

Aligned LoveLearn More

Emma reminded us: “God is Love, and I am made of God.” Love is not sought—it is declared, embodied, and revealed through spiritual identification with the Divine.

Healing from BreakupsLearn More

Heartbreak, to Emma, was the echo of a false belief. She instructed: “Release the illusion. Declare your wholeness. God is the one relationship, and I am never alone.”

Confidence & IdentityLearn More

Emma affirmed identity as divine. “I am the Christ of God.” In this declaration, self-doubt dissolves. You are not becoming—you already are.

Path of the SeekerLearn More

To Emma, the seeker’s path ends in declaration. “I have found the Truth, and the Truth has set me free.” Seek no more. Speak what is.

Returning to StillnessLearn More

Stillness, to Emma, was not silence—it was certainty. Declare Truth until the mind rests. “There is nothing to fear. God is All.”

Secret in Plain SightLearn More

The secret was no secret to her. “The Truth is. The lie fades.” Emma’s teachings shine a spotlight on what has always been true: your divinity is not hidden. Only unclaimed.
