Spiritual Health & Wellness: Let's Talk About Mesmerism, Money, & Myrtle Smyth: Spiritual Health & Wellness, #5

By Live From The Volcano

What do spiritual wholeness, the Great Depression along with contemporary Great Recessions, international economic hitmen, Northern Ireland's time of 'The Troubles,' and late Christian Science practitioner Myrtle Smyth have in common?

 

Taking these opportunities to practice radical Truth and Love in action, towards demonstrating a reality that genuinely better reflects 'living, moving, and having one's being' in God's Kingdom of the Divine One Mind. A reality people are most fervently wishing to experience in the 21st Century! 

 

The metaphysical movement known as Christian Science has long been recognized for its adherence to prayerful treatments, and one highly-regarded practitioner originally tasked with teaching the ins & outs of this kind of prayer was Brigham Bicknell Young. This volume includes Day 6 of Young's Primary Class Instruction alternating with contemporary contextualizing by Live From The Volcano.

PRIMARY CLASS as taught by BICKNELL YOUNG

1. See that all evil appearances exist in mortal mind...nowhere else.

Let us have your citations on Christ. (Mr. Young summoned each student to read his chosen passage, volunteering no comments throughout.) That is very good.

The citations you have been selecting are very revealing, and I must say you have been showing great insight and appreciation and growth in your study. Now let us have those on mortal mind. (The recitations followed here.)

All evil claims are of mortal mind.

When Jesus said to the hypocrites, Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do, he was not trying to harm them. If they had accepted what he said, they would have been immediately blessed.

It had to be said once for all time.

Christian Science comes to mitigate the disasters of mortal mind for all mankind. It works where it ought to work, not as abstract Principle, but where there is need of a remedy, and as a remedy. Right where the erroneous belief appears to be, right there is the Redeemer, if you will let the Redeemer be there.

That is the practical nature of Christian Science.

Mortal mind is always the claim.

It makes no difference what kind of a disease you are called upon to treat, do not see it in or as matter, for then you see it as a doctor would according to the material senses.

Instead, see that all evil appearances exist in mortal mind.

In itself, whether a toothache or a cancer, it is always in mortal mind and nowhere else. Thought is all there is to matter. I have often heard it said that you can help people because they can think; but how, then, could you help storms and the like?

It is as much mortal mind when it appears to be an inanimate thing as when it appears to be animate.

Where is war?

In mortal mind.

Nothing else to it.

Anticipating, fearing, preparing and so forth, for it! War is just what it appears to be — mortal mind. Is there no power in the universe that could do something about it?

Know the presence of God.

That stops war.

Where could it go on but in mortal mind? It certainly cannot go on in infinite, divine Mind. Jesus demonstrated Christian Science for the whole world, and Mrs. Eddy revealed it for the whole world.

There is no war in heaven.

It is all in mortal mind.

Where are floods? Where are hurricanes? And drought? Where is the destructive lightning and storms?

The categories of error that seemed determined to eradicate the healing efforts of Myrtle Smyth included consistent Mesmerism in the form of:

* Money (or lack thereof)

and:

* Madness (which appeared in shapes from a raging bull of an abusive ex-husband to becoming a highly beloved, successful, and sought after Christian Science practitioner plus CS Board of Lectureship speaker for years, following in the footsteps of Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy, only to subsequently find herself ousted from the official CS ranks by The Mother Church in Boston...without having any specific complaints lodged against her.

We'll start with the topic of Money...

Or what is known in spiritual circles as: "Substance &
