"True reflectivation might be [[compared]] to the [[ancient]] [[practice]] on [[this planet]] of two men on [[mountains]] separated by many, many miles of valley. At noontime one man holds in his hand a [[mirror]] by means of which he [[reflects]] the [[light]] of the [[sun]] overhead to his [[comrade]] on the far distant mountain. His comrade, in turn, also possesses a mirror by means of which he as well may not only [[reflect]] the light of the sun to the first man but also may reflect the first man's reflection to yet a third man on another mountain. Do you understand this [[analogy]]?" </blockquote>
