We call the human character a personality. Human personality is a dream, and the dream or belief goes on whether our eyes are closed or open. A wicked person may have an attractive personality; therefore, human personality is not the true character of spiritual person&#8230;The Bible declares: \u201cAll things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a> This is the eternal truth of Christian Science.
