Meet a Quintessential Mystic
The James Pottenger – Ernest Holmes Connection
The developer of Holographic Psychology™, 
Location of Comprehension, and the syncretistic reality-levels model formulated from Science of Spirit research, is a former protégé of Ernest Holmes — Dr. James P. Pottenger. Concepts and structure devised by this dedicated, multi-sensory, avant-garde researcher, serve as a foundational explanation for the often bizarre nature of both ordinary and extraordinary experience. This synchronous biography includes some early history on Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes.
Rendezvous with Destiny
In the late 1940s, Martha Pottenger's youngest son, James, was a senior at the University of Arizona. One evening, James was returning home with his girlfriend from a “Cinco de Mayo” celebration in Nogales, Mexico. As they proceeded north on the dark, desolate, two-lane, state highway, a southbound motorist drifted into their lane. Horn honking failed to alert the other driver to the imminent danger. At the last possible second, James attempted to save their lives by veering to the right shoulder. Overshooting the road surface, the car crashed into a ditch and rolled over. Fade to black.
The police reported that both James and his passenger were thrown from the car. Although his inebriated companion escaped with only minor injuries, James suffered serious head trauma. Unconscious, barely alive, and on his way to the nearest emergency facility, paramedics determined James had expired. They delivered his body to the morgue for a medical examiner’s official pronouncement of death. Upon arrival, handling personnel noted movement under the covering sheet. With the weakest signs of life, James was again in route to a Tucson hospital. Continuing his tenuous hold on the material realm, attending physicians worried that even if James should regain consciousness, probable brain damage would render him permanently incapacitated.
