Universes beneath the Sea and the Awe of It All
“Right behind the darkness of closed eyes are the wondrous forces of the universe… Meditate, and you will realize the omnipresent Absolute Truth and see Its mysterious workings in your life and in all the glories of creation.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
(from the Self-Realization calendar for the week of October 19)

Living gems of another realm that belong to the treasures of the Absolute. Beautiful photos and precious quote, Ellen. Thank you for this delightful moment, my friend. Much enjoyed! Light and blessings your way, always!!! ✨🙏💖💎🌊🐟

Thanks, Susana, glad you enjoyed the post. I may not be posting for awhile or responding to posts. Getting knee surgery and swamped with doctor appointments.
Know that I am with you in spirit if not in comments.

And I am with you, in light and prayers, dear Ellen. Wishing you a successful surgery and fast recovery. That all things that have been bothering you get sorted, and you can get back to your routines and the things you love the most with full mobility and presence. The best, always, my friend, along with infinite light, love, and blessings ✨🙏💖🌻🌈 (talk soon… ✨)

Thank you so much, Susana. It means an awful lot to me. It is hard to deal with the anxiety which is there even when surgery is not looming on the horizon. Appreciate your caring, Ellen🕉️❤️

Thank you, Ellen, for sharing these photographs of beings who share the same planet and yet whose existence is other worldly. All life can be honored and respected despite differences.

You’re exactly right!! And yet the reality of what is honored and respected leaves something to be desired.🕉

Thank you for sharing the stunning photos that your friend took of undersea life. Looking at these creates a similar feeling to the ghostly iridescence I notice when I close my eyes, so the quote you chose fits perfectly. 🩶

Wow! Julie, that’s amazing but it doesn’t surprise me that you see iridescent when you close your eyes because it shows in your writing and painting.💚

Enchanting!

Thank you for the invitation. I am honored. However my posts are religious in nature celebrating Paramahansa Yogananda and Self-realization fellowship. Besides I am not well enough to be posting right now. I do appreciate your invitation. Thank you!

So sorry you’re not feeling well – wishing you a speedy recover, dear
