Thank you for this posting!
Mrs Eddy also demonstrated over physical travelling and other limitations as recorded in the book The Healer: The Healing Work of Mary Baker Eddy –
“It was not until the last year of her life that she spent any time on demonstrating other aspects of the unreality of matter and the allness of Spirit for her own benefit. Some fascinating examples have survived that illustrate the possibilities of rising above he pull of the flesh or mortal sense.
“…there are accounts of her overcoming gravity….And Mrs Eddy did this in an age with strong beliefs about material law, giving great weight to thought contrary to spiritual law. Our Lord could could appear or travel anywhere, overcoming distance and time (see John 6:21-26). Evidence shows that Mrs Eddy did this also. There are instances of workers at Pleasant View seeing Mrs Eddy at the top of the steps, a moment later in the kitchen, and a moment later way out in the yard.”
” ….Ira Knapp related an interesting account where Mrs Eddy did in fact walk on the water. It seems one day when Mrs Eddy and Mr Knapp were on the coast at Red Rock near Lynn, Mass., Mrs Eddy was caught out on the rocks as the tide was coming in. Mr Knapp saw what had happened, since he was closer to the shoreline. He started looking around for a small boat in which to go out and convey Mrs Eddy back to the shore. However, Ira Knapp could find nothing to accomplish this and Mrs Eddy walked back herself over the water!
“Calvin Fry stated in his diary that one day he entered Mrs Eddy’s room and found her floating, suspended up near the ceiling. He was no doubt bewildered and surprised, but Mrs Eddy allayed his concern, telling him not to be afraid, that all was fine. She subsequently settled down into her chair.
“She once said in class in Columbus Avenue, (in years previous at the ) College, ‘Were it not for the minds around me, I could step out of this (second story) window, and not fall to the ground.”
I am so grateful that Mrs Eddy demonstrated for us that Jesus’ experiences in overcoming mortal so-called laws were not only for himself but for all mankind, and that the clear teachings at Plainfield help us to progress in realising this.
