A VISUAL · BIG EGO, LITTLE EGO
Flashlight or Mirror?
Two objects. One truth: you were never supposed to make your own light.
FLASHLIGHT
Has to make its own light
Works hard just to keep shining
Runs out. Needs new batteries.
MIRROR
Reflects light that’s already there
Never runs out — never was making it
Doesn’t dim when another mirror shines too
“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM.” — Exodus 3:14
“All the objects of God’s creation reflect one Mind.”
— Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 588:9
“I don’t have to make my own light. I already reflect it.”
Draw or write one thing that reminds you: you’re the mirror, not the flashlight.
