This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Science is one of only two indigenous American religions, the other being Mormonism. Yet it has not always been examined seriously within the context of the history of religious ideas and the development of American religious life. Stephen Gottschalk fills this void with an examination of Christian Science’s root concepts—the informing vision and the distinctive mission as formulated by its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Concentrating on the quarter-century preceding Eddy's death, a period of phenomenal growth for Christian Science, Gottschalk challenges the conventional academic view of the movement as a fringe sect. He finds instead a serious and distinctive, though radical, religious teaching that began to flower just as orthodox Protestantism began to fade. He gives a clear and detailed account of the rancorous controversies between Christian Science and the various mind-cure and occult movements with which it is often associated, and contends that Christian Science appealed to disenchanted Protestants because of its pragmatic quality—a quality that relates it to the mainstream of American culture. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.

Download or read book Christian Science purports to popularise the treatment of disease written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases are said to be nothing but mental pictures, which man creates for himself and believes in religiously. We must therefore learn to dominate all those conditions which may be susceptible to the implantation of mental germs. And, as man is the creator of every form of sin and suffering, so is he also the vector of his misdeeds being transmitted to others by mental germs, instead of physical germs. The assertion of the Christian Scientists that it was through their “Science” that Jesus healed, is a preposterous absurdity! When told to turn our left cheek to him who smites us on the right, we are not commanded to deny the blow but, on the contrary, to bear the offence without encouraging the offender to smite the other cheek. Sins and diseases are neither denied by Jesus, nor are their opposites (virtue and moral purity) anywhere affirmed. The Christian Scientists deny every theological dogma from Eden downwards, as much as Theosophists do, yet the former affirm that they are not at one with the Omnipotent Spirit of Truth, which alone can heal. Mrs. Gestefeld warns the would-be healer that if he treats for personal gain, the power to heal will desert him and he will be no longer a Christian Scientist, only a Mesmerist; but to the Occultist, this would be no objection. Mrs. Gestefeld’s assertion that diseases are the result of “wrong beliefs” is a fallacious syllogism, absurd and ridiculous in equal measure. The child, who has no belief, knowledge, or conception of true and false, can only catch scarlet fever through the oropharyngeal secretions of close contacts infected by Streptococcus pyogenes (or even asymptomatic carriers) — not through the alleged “infectivity” of someone else’s thought. More! Epidemics, such as cholera, flourish in crowded slums and camps of displaced populations (our brothers and sisters, in fact), who are forced to live in unsanitary and inhumane conditions. Are all these poor and lowly, despised and oppressed people sinners? Or are they victims of ecclesiastical and secular cruelty, and of man against his kith and kin? There are also climatic conditions, as in the outbreak of cholera in , when the epidemic seemed confined to certain areas following some law of atmospheric currents, or some other undetected, but not undiscoverable, physical cause. “Christian Science” goes further by asserting that physical disease is the direct effect of mental disease and wickedness. As an example, Bright’s disease of the kidneys is supposed to affect persons who are untruthful and deceitful. Shall we be next told that cancer of the tongue or throat is produced in those who backbite and slander their fellow men? Or are the Christian Scientists themselves, who are untruthful and deceitful? If, in the age of slander we live in, people are told that strangers can deny their faults and vices by barging into their mind (thereby absolving them from the effects of demerit arising from their actions) — would not such a belief cut from under their feet personal responsibility, and every hope of redemption and salvation? The diseases and other exigencies, in which we find ourselves entangled in their meshes, are the Karmic progeny of our former thoughts and deeds that are governed unerringly by Karma, the Law of Ethical Causation and Harmony across the Universe. By fostering responsibility and self-reliance, Karma frees every man from the servitude of religion and the clutches of “Christian Science.” “Christian Science” is Hypnotism under a Christian Garb. It is a pernicious form of Black Magic practised by Roman Catholic priests, adepts of the Black Art, enchanters, dugpas, and necromancers, who are known to have incited mental epidemics. Occult philosophy is the only remedy for the ills of mind and body. Let us cultivate brotherly feeling, charity, and tolerance towards the whole of creation, extending even to the dumb brute, and all shall be well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical revival style of architecture made famous by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago left its mark on one of the most sustained classical building movements in American architectural history: the Christian Science church building movement. By 1920 every major American city and many smaller towns contained an example of this architecture, financed by the followers of Mary Baker Eddy, the church's founder. These buildings represented a new, burgeoning American institution that appealed to business people and to young men and women working to succeed. Characterized by middle-class congregations that in the early part of the century were over 75 percent women, Christian Science suggested radical civic reform solutions based on an idealistic and pragmatic individualism. It attracted criticism from traditional churches and from the medical establishment due to its rapid growth and to its reinstatement of primitive Christianity's lost elements of physical healing and moral regeneration. Prayers in Stone spins out the close connections between Christian Science church architecture and its social context. This architecture served as a focal point for debates over the possibilities for a new twentieth-century urban architecture that proponents believed would positively shape the behavior of citizens. Thus these buildings played a critical role in discussions concerning religious and secular architecture as major elements of religious and social reform. Drawing on a wide range of documentary evidence, including material from the archives of the Mother Church in Boston, Paul Ivey uses Christian Science architecture to explore the social implications of architecturalstyles and new building technologies, to illuminate class-based notions of civic reform and beautification, and to investigate the use of architecture to bring about religious and social change. In addition, the book explores complex gender issues, including early attempts to define a professional space for women as Christian Science practitioners. Lavishly illustrated, Prayers in Stone focuses on four major city arenas of Christian Science building -- Boston, Chicago, New York, and the San Francisco Bay area -- to demonstrate the vital intersection of architecture and religion at the so-called margins of American society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness and yoga are widely said to improve mental and physical health, and booming industries have emerged to teach them as secular techniques. This movement is typically traced to the 1970s, but it actually began a century earlier. Wakoh Shannon Hickey shows that most of those who first advocated meditation for healing were women: leaders of the "Mind Cure" movement, which emerged during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Instructed by Buddhist and Hindu missionaries, many of these women believed that by transforming consciousness, they could also transform oppressive conditions in which they lived. For women - and many African-American men - "Mind Cure" meant not just happiness, but liberation in concrete political, economic, and legal terms. In response to the perceived threat posed by this movement, white male doctors and clergy with elite academic credentials began to channel key Mind Cure methods into "scientific" psychology and medicine. As mental therapeutics became medicalized and commodified, the religious roots of meditation, like the social-justice agendas of early Mind Curers, fell by the wayside. Although characterized as "universal," mindfulness has very specific historical and cultural roots, and is now largely marketed by and accessible to affluent white people. Hickey examines religious dimensions of the Mindfulness movement and clinical research about its effectiveness. By treating stress-related illness individualistically, she argues, the contemporary movement obscures the roles religious communities can play in fostering civil society and personal wellbeing, and diverts attention from systemic factors fueling stress-related illness, including racism, sexism, and poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetism is the intangible Spirit and ultimate essence of every atom, whether pertaining to animate or inanimate, organic or inorganic substance. It is invisible to all but the eyes of another immortal Spirit. Mesmerism is a lesser branch of Magic, and as old as man. Magic is indissolubly blended with the religion of every country and is inseparable from its origin. Magnetism is the key to the mystery of man’s nature and to Occultism or Eastern Magic. It prolongs life and heals the sick much better than modern medicine can ever do. The Magnetiser’s Vital Force, intensely concentrated by the his will, pours out of his system into the patient’s. Afterward, he can then use the sun to make good of the loss of vitality and rebalance his prana. Magnetism has been studied in the temples of ancient Egypt and Greece, and mastered as it may never hope to be mastered in our age of profound idiocy. Full health is only possible when there is a perfect magnetic equilibrium in one’s system. The therapist heals simply by restoring magnetic balance in his patient by the force of his benevolent desire and will. The chief agent in any therapeutic operation is the Human Will plus dominion over the Elemental Spirits. But the will of a selfish operator is more likely to injure rather than heal. Though Christians practice Mesmerism by another name, Christian law and societies with their boasted civilization become with every day more like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones and befoulment. Mesmerism is key to the world’s psychological sciences, from the remotest antiquity down to our time. In Mesmerism, the curative agency is the animal aura, force, or fluid in one person, by means of which a peculiar action is set up in the physical system of another. The power of the mantram is occult sound through which the adept commands the elemental forces of nature. But mantram ignorantly employed can be a treacherous weapon, whose mystical power has caused it to turn and stab the user. Astrology, Mesmerism, and Homeopathy are far more scientific and true than the scientists of gross matter could ever imagine. The magnetic fluid projected by a living human body is Life itself. Indeed, it is the same life-atoms that a man in a blind passion throws off unconsciously, though he does it quite as effectively as a Mesmeriser who transfers them from himself to any object consciously and under the guidance of his will. The process of Hypnotism is a purely mechanical one, i.e., the fixing of the eyes on some bright spot, a metal or a crystal. The eye serves as a medium between that bit of metal or crystal and the brain, and attunes the molecular vibrations of the nervous centres of the latter into unison with the vibrations of the bright object held. It is this unison that produces the hypnotic state. In Mesmerism, i.e., the hypnotization by preliminary passes, it is the will of the operator himself that acts upon the nervous system of the patient. And it is again through the vibrations — only atomic, not molecular — produced by that act of energy called will in the ether of space (therefore, on quite a different plane) that the super-hypnotic state (i.e., “suggestion,” etc.) is induced. The source of the vital essence of Mesmerism or Animal Magnetism was located by the ancients between the earth and the starry sky. It is the Akasha-tattva of the Indians personified by the breath of Cybele, the Anatolian mother goddess, adopted and adapted by Greek colonists of Asia Minor. Between Mesmerism and Hypnotism there is an abyss: the one is beneficent, the other maleficent. Hypnotism is produced by the withdrawal of the nervous fluid from the capillary nerves which, being like the sentries that keep the doors of our senses opened, are anaesthetized and get closed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was a mid-1800s clockmaker in Belfast, Maine. He became fascinated with the practice of hypnotism, then called mesmerism. He dropped his clockmaking profession and traveled around Maine, offering demonstrations of mesmerism. Over the years, he studied how the body, when mesmerized, could perform astonishing feats. Gradually, Quimby developed what he called science of the mind and used his concepts to heal the sick. This is the story of how he evolved his theory. Consequently, his work was directly related to the founding of the Unity movement and Christian Science. The author’s position is that the New Age philosophy that the mind controls the body was inspired by a Maine clockmaker.
