Animal Magnetism: Now Available!



This very short manuscript is slightly amusing as well as informative; it gives a good mid 19th century (and then-rational) look at mesmerism and hypnotism- applauding the latter, even in its rationalism, for abilities which are now seen as bunk just as much as the way the author here chastises Mesmer as having been a fraud (he was.)

It is true, though, that some of the abilities of hypnotism spoken of here are still held to be true- and it is irrefutable that hypnotizing a chicken is both possible and itself slightly funny.

24 pages.

  2. How's it going Snarly Snape Bear, Kristy Lou Lily here. I just watched a short clip of Owen Benjamin calling you a shill for you apparently not calling out AIPAC and ISRAEL, though the comments on this video say that you do call out AIPAC and ISRAEL. You should set him straight on the matter or at least have a discussion with him about it among other things, get to some common ground with him. He is a grizzly bear at 6'8" tall, and gets growly with people, yet he has a soft side and compassion if he can work things out with people. Owen says he watches you still sometimes. He also says you're a Satanist, which you're not, right? You told Jesse Lee you don’t believe in Satan and that whether there’s a God or not doesn’t matter either way, and that you’d need personal evidence anyways.
    I know you sang the anti-christ song recently. Did you write that? You can call me Auntie Krystee, cuz my dark half has manners now, no longer entangled with perversions and addictions. I hope you two can get on the level with each other somehow. It would make interesting entertainment. I did send Owen, via snail mail, the two Jesse Lee videos you did. I hope Owen watches those videos. Here's the youtube link of the 5 minute clip of Owen dissing you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Po6YkPdKI

  3. Are we anti semitic or are we auntie krystee... haaa ha ha, see I only wanna make jokes. I told Owen that you and I have darker humor than even his humor. I'm ante at the card table playing with Kenny Rogers. My ante is my food scraps, haa! If only we could all understand each others humor the world would be a better place.
