  	    Mortal body and mind are one, and that one is called
15	man; but a mortal is not man, for man is immortal. A
  	mortal may be weary or pained, enjoy or suffer,	                   Mortal
  	according to the dream he entertains in sleep. 	                   existence
18	When that dream vanishes, the mortal finds himself	           a dream 
  	experiencing none of these dream-sensations. To the
  	observer, the body lies listless, undisturbed, and sensa-
21	tionless, and the mind seems to be absent. 
  	    Now I ask, Is there any more reality in the waking
  	dream of mortal existence than in the sleeping dream? 
24	There cannot be, since whatever appears to be a mortal
  	man is a mortal dream. Take away the mortal mind,
  	and matter has no more sense as a man than it has as
27	a tree. But the spiritual, real man is immortal. 
  	    Upon this stage of existence goes on the dance of mortal
  	mind. Mortal thoughts chase one another like snowflakes,
30	and drift to the ground. Science reveals Life as not being
  	at the mercy of death, nor will Science admit that happi-
  	ness is ever the sport of circumstance.
