Dream or Nightmare, It Isn't True

ROBERT A. MOSS

A widespread belief that keeps people from the worship of God is that He knows of human want and woe and does nothing about them. Students of Christian Science can't go along with this belief.

This Science shows clearly that divine Love and mortal error are incompatible. God, good, is infinite, All, and anything unlike Him has no substance, no real existence.

What, then, are sin, disease, want, and woe, and where do they come from? When Shakespeare wrote, "We are such stuff/As dreams are made on,"^{The Tempest, Act IV, scene 1;} he touched upon a truth that Christian Science explains and expounds. The whole of mortal existence— mortals, mortality itself with its pleasures as well as its pains—is a dream of the erring material senses. A dream seems real until one awakes from it; but good or bad, a dream is never anything more than illusion.
