I'm very excited by this! I once read the Book of Mormon in a rather immersive manner, by literally putting myself IN the stories with the people - "hearing" their voices, "feeling" their emotions, "watching" and "participating" in the struggles and decisions being made, and "experiencing" the joy as revelations and lessons were given, "groaning" with the rejected lessons or suffering of people and prophets, "reviling" and "feeling revulsions" for the sins and lasciviousness of people upon their victims, "experiencing shock" as Abinadi was burned, "looking amongst the dead and wounded" for survivors of battles, "standing silently" out of the way for periods of time as different people sought revelation and peace, and "marveled" as answers came and "rejoiced" as confidence grew and paths were laid out to follow as answers to prayers. It was.... an AMAZING experience! And it felt so real... with so many senses involved.
