Every single blotch of light is an entire galaxy filled with billions and trillions of stars each. Imagine if we could see the rest of the sky like this, there would be billions of galaxies!

I speak of this often - the way I heard it: If you outstretch your arm with
your thumb up to the sky - the area hidden by your thumbnail - far out into space you are hiding 10,000 galaxies.
Now, move your arm - 10,000 hidden - move again another 10,000 blocked by your thumbnail.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
