Australiam Swim Team?

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!

    https://t.co/Iznuoe5YWs – In this video, Australian entertainer, Benjamin Demase, has hypnotized 3 men into believing that the floor beneath them is an Olympic-sized pool and that they are the Aussie swim team at the Olympic finals. What is striking here is the frenzied dedication with which the “swimmers” perform their task, which has no basis in reality but is as unsubstantial as “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” (Shakespeare’s Macbeth): a keen reminder of how convincing the “Adam-dream” can be and how necessary it is for me to consecrate my mind, subordinate my thought-life — all of it, every day — to the Mind of God continually.

    Thank you for this – really helpful to see how mesmerism can seem so real when it is not!! Thank God for Christian Science!

    Very good! And, really, no different than the belief that God breathed life into Adam’s nostrils and caused his material body to be a living soul. This belief (Mrs. Eddy calls it “delusion”) that matter has life and intelligence causes men to do the craziest things, as Shakespeare well observed. Only extreme cases are considered “insane” by the psychiatric profession, but in Science, the whole human dream is revealed to be wrong.

    It was recorded that a mesmerist once tried to mesmerize Mrs. Eddy and stated that it was impossible to mesmerize her.
