Thank you, Open, for such in depth sharing. I do feel much compassion towards people who feel depressed. While depression itself is a bit foreign to myself, I have seen some of my old friends dealing with this and my sense is that it's crucial at first to acknowledge and express that feeling of depression, what for most of them is not easy to do.

I like the concept of deep sea fish illuminating self. It resonates with me in the way that maybe a month ago when I was working with my feeling of loneliness and sitting in a long meditations all of a sudden I was shown a dream-like vision of the fish in a deep waters, some lonely fish with nothing and nobody around. The dark blue water was a perception of nobody and nothing. While "my fish" wasn't illuminating self in that vision... but the consciousness assimilated the loneliness with the fish somehow and I was wondering why. Also, I got somewhere that in the symbolism water represents consciousness, not sure though - that's different for everyone. Anyway, after that vision I was able to equalise and become as-one with the loneliness, and so it gradually becomes part of me.
