By the way, thank you for reminding me about that photograph - I had forgotten all about it! Here it is again, for reference:

Also, I'm just going to post a Lord Shiva picture below (because I can). For me, Lord Shiva is much, much more than a 'Point of Light' or a 'Ball of Energy' and I mean, he
can be all that too - there's absolutely NO limiting Shiva into
any form...
any concept...even being a 'humanoid creature' or the 'God of Death' or anything our limited minds can conceive it to be - Shiva is everything...
everything! however, it is in 'Human Form' that He first introduced Himself to me and it's 'His' Human Form that I find to be the most endearing quality and I cannot give that up - not that I would ever want to anyway - as it leads me to understand Shiva in
all form - as Brahman Absolute as well.
Aum Namah Shivaya
