Blinding flashes of the obvious

Two recent insights have served as blinding flashes of the obvious (BFOs). On Sunday, just before stepping onto the platform at church, the following statement caught my eye: “Man, in the likeness of his Maker, reflects the central light of being, the invisible God. As there is no corporeality in the mirrored form, which is but a reflection, so man, like all things real, reflects God, his divine Principle, not in a mortal body” (Science and Health 305:6). The insight that there is “no corporeality in the mirrored form” really set the tone for a very powerful reading of the Scientific Statement of Being.

On Tuesday, I woke very early in great discomfort, and considered canceling a class I teach. The above statement provided the basis for my prayerful work for myself. The class went forward with the instructor fully well, productive, and metaphysically active.
