Disease has no course to run

DeWITT JOHN

You dream you are sitting before an easel sketching a roadside scene. You fill in, line by line, the rocks and trees. Now you begin to pencil in the cows... At that moment you wake up. Question: What happens to the cows? To the picture itself?

Consider a parallel. You dream you are ill. The ailment develops. You begin to fear... At that moment you wake up. What happens to the symptoms and the sickness?

In a far more fundamental way than the night-dream, the fact is that all sickness is a dreamlike state of false consciousness. Christian Science shows it to be a mental delusion, unreal because it is contrary to the real status and condition of man as God's spiritual likeness.
