Welcome to Kappeler Institute USA's Home Page

The Kappeler Institute for the Science of Being USA is a non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt corporation. Its main purpose is to give wider scope to the revolutionary research, writing, and teaching of Dr. Max Kappeler, Switzerland (1910–2002), founder of the Kappeler Institute USA.

Dr. Max Kappeler's works represent a spiritually scientific approach, rather than a "religious" approach, to the Bible and Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. This subject has been termed "the Science of Christian Science" (sometimes referred to as "Science," "the Science of Being," or "the Science of all sciences.").

Who might be interested in learning more? This study appeals to the scientific thinker. Those seeking to understand the one Being through its divine cybernetic laws, orders, rules, system, structure and multi-dimensional workings—along with the transforming implications that such an understanding brings—will find these teachings among the most profound works of our present age.

The KI USA's purpose is to publish, protect, and promote Kappeler's works on the Science of Christian Science, and to assist interested students in their study of Science.

Max Kappeler's work is not associated with, nor endorsed by, any religious organization. The Kappeler Institute, USA, claims no exclusive rights to the terms "the Science of Christian Science" or "the Science of Being," and does not present itself as an authority to endorse, control, or regulate the work in the subject of Science.
