Christian Science explains that the "Adam dream" (creation as described in Genesis 2) is our "human experience"—man and woman as imperfect, flawed—supposedly at the mercy of an inconsistent God. But Christian Science also shows that our identity is really only what is put forth in Genesis 1—we are entirely spiritual and complete, as God's image and likeness. Yet day by day we seem to live out the human experience. How do you then reconcile a "healing" in our human experience?
A1 In Genesis 1, we understand that we are created as perfect, immortal beings, and that nothing mortal and imperfect can possibly exist anywhere in God's creation. But there's the belief that the mortal and imperfect exist—and these beliefs associated with mortality and imperfection comprise what is called the human experience.
This doesn't mean that as spiritual thinkers we walk around with our head in the clouds, in a state of what is commonly termed "denial." Our "denial" is of a whole other sort—we deny the reality of matter—we deny the inharmonious elements that color the human experience. We deny the "Adam dream"—which in Genesis 2 tells us of our incompleteness, our vulnerability, and our separation from God.
