No Hypnotism, No Mesmerism

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    202 : 3-5
    SH 203 The scientific unity which exists between God and man must be wrought out in life-practice, and God’s will must be universally done.

    No and Yes p36:12-20
    The real Christ was unconscious of matter, of sin, disease, and death, and was conscious only of God, of good, of eternal Life, and harmony. Hence the human Jesus had a resort to his higher self and relation to the Father, and there could find rest from unreal trials in the conscious reality and royalty of his being, — holding 18 the mortal as unreal, and the divine as real. It was this retreat from material to spiritual selfhood which recuperated him for triumph over sin, sickness, and death. (Emphasis added).

    The SH citation says we must wrought out this truth of No Separation from God in our lives, in obedience to God’s will. What a sound instruction. Since we are given how Christ Jesus did this and triumphed in His own life experience. That constant retreating to who He knew He was MUST be our example. Mrs. Eddy says we are to pray for ourselves. We must then ask ourselves if our prayers are like that of Christ Jesus; whose “humble prayers were deep and conscientious protests of Truth, — of man’s likeness to God and of man’s unity with Truth and Love.” This is prayer that “restores the Soul”,(one’s spiritual selfhood) recuperates and stops the hypnotism and mesmerism of mortal sense in its tracks.
