Understanding mental influences

with contributions from Nate Talbot, Russ Gerber

The Sentinel also asked Nate Talbot, a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science, to share his comments on dealing with mental influences. He spoke with Russ Gerber.

RG: Some would say that getting tossed and turned by the various influences in the world is just life as usual.

NT: But if we're not alert, those influences can appear to have quite an impact on us, so I'm not sure we want to shrug our shoulders and just say, "Oh well, that's life." Let me give you a couple of examples. Probably all of us have sat in a movie, maybe a real cliffhanger, and felt the tenseness. Or maybe we've attended a funeral service and felt the grief. Or perhaps we've gone to a ballgame and felt the enthusiasm, the vitality. There are plenty of thoughts out there, and we tend to feel those thoughts.
