ALL GOOD IS OURS FOREVER

JAMES G. ROWELL

The Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, teach one God or creator and one universe or effect, which is motivated by the law, or will, of God. They also teach that God is Spirit, and that His universe and His law, or will, are like Him in essence, wholly spiritual and immortal.

Whatever the mortal, material senses bear witness to is a mortal, material misconception of Spirit and its manifestation. Mortals term this mortal mind concept the material world. In sleep a human being may entertain dream concepts of the supposititious temporal world. During the period of time he is asleep and perhaps dreaming, he is wholly oblivious of certain material objects and things which in his waking hours he considers to be his most cherished possessions. Instinctively the dream concepts of a sleeper, who has been brought up in the school of material sense, appear to be material. The dream naturally calls itself a dreamer. The dreamer entertains only that which is latent in dream consciousness. To the dreamer anything above, beyond, apart from, or outside of his dream is an impossibility. To believe otherwise would interrupt or end the dream and banish its dreamer. With the sleeper's awakening, the dream and its dreamer disappear.

Awake, the human being realizes that his entire dream impression was simply falsely mental, a delusion of a deceived and deceiving sense. Because dreams are humanly acknowledged to be unreal and untrue, hallucinations, one readily understands that he cannot take the dream illusion which he entertained as his while asleep with him into his daily human experience.
