Waking from the Mortal Dream

CHARLES ROSSITER STUART

Great are the joy and peace that come from the conviction that one's real selfhood is not physical, material, and temporal, but wholly spiritual, incorporeal, and eternal. This conviction, attainable only through spiritually enlightened thought, is based upon the fact that man is not a helpless, struggling, isolated mortal adrift on a sea of misfortune. It brings complete assurance of man's safety, indestructibility, and immortality—his forever inseparability from God.

When through the study, application, and demonstration of Christian Science one awakens to these eternal truths, he concurs in Paul's declaration concerning the blessings which inevitably appear in human experience as thought becomes purified (II Cor. 5:17), "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Progressively to awaken from the Adam-dream of life and intelligence in matter is the desire of every earnest student of Christian Science. Now this gladsome awakening to what we really are, is but a portion of the abundant fruitage which comes from a consecrated study of the Bible in conjunction with the God-inspired writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. It is, however, one of the most uplifting and transforming experiences that can come to the student of this Science.
