In a moment of spiritual awakening, years of sin, disease, and suffering have been known to disappear. How? Through a clear recognition that sin and suffering are never a part of God's spiritual man—never a part of our true being. God is the all-creative, perfect divine Mind, and man is Mind's spiritual and perfect idea. Therefore, human problems are deceptions. They're daydreams about God and man—hypnotic beliefs. God's idea, man, is not fallen or mortal, with a human history, but is actually the likeness of perfect Spirit, upheld by and inseparable from eternal Life and Love.
Sin and disease can be more readily healed when we realize that they are dreams, from which we can be awakened by divine Truth through spiritual sense. What Truth reveals to human consciousness about man's spiritual existence can in an instant awaken thought from the most acute or chronic difficulty.
In a night dream one may see oneself talking to imaginary people, each one suffering from a particular problem, yet at the moment of one's waking up the dream ends—the difficulties disappear instantly. So it is with daydreams of suffering—we can always awake from them to man's spiritual perfection in God.
