Awaken to the Reality of Spirit

Christian Science is the Science of reality—the Science of what God is and what man is in his true identity as God's image, or reflection. All that is real emanates from God, or good, divine Mind, Spirit; therefore life is actually spiritual and wholly harmonious and perfect. When we accept this understanding, it begins to ameliorate our temporary, imperfect, mortal sense of things. It brings into the pattern of our experience more harmony, satisfaction, and completeness.

What then is this so-called material life with its limitation and imperfection?

First, consider how real a night dream seems while we are dreaming it. It is only when we awake that we realize that the objects in it had no substance and that we were involved in its action only in belief. We may dream we are trying to hurry away from some danger that is pursuing us, but because of some heaviness in our limbs we are unable to move quickly. A sense of fear holds us enthralled. Suddenly we wake and find that neither the danger nor the disability was actual. All was illusion, and we are safe and untouched by the difficulty.
