Here is a snippet:
Given that I am talking to the skeptics, I would like to describe some of the ways that the mesmeric trance state was employed in emerging 19th century discourse addressing the nature and legitimacy of religious experience. I would like to tell the story of La Roy Sunderland, a key figure in American mesmerism, who began his career as a Methodist revival preacher, became an itinerant mesmerist, and eventually a freethinking atheist.Go ahead and email your RSVP for this event to Jerry at: gmertens@stcloudstate.edu and check out Minneapolis Skeptics Meet-Up Group for more details.
