The history of error is a dream-narrative. The dream has no reality, no intelligence, no mind; therefore the dreamer and dream are one, for neither is true nor real. First, this narrative supposes that something springs from nothing, that matter precedes mind. Second, it supposes that mind enters matter, and matter becomes living, substantial, and intelligent. The order of this allegory--the belief that everything springs from dust instead of from Deity--has been maintained in all the subsequent forms of belief. This is the error,--that mortal man starts materially, that non-intelligence becomes intelligence, that mind and soul are both right and wrong.
