Voices of the Deep – Glimpses of a Hidden World

Interview conducted by Joshua Shapiro, Crystal Skull Explorer / Guardian of the Gateway, with Shay, Keeper of the Aeolynn Currents and Mist-Walker of the Coral Vault on December 2nd, 2025

Beneath the surface of the ocean lies a world unknown to most—where crystalline structures shimmer with memory, and beings of light move through the water in grace.

Though we may call these beings of light who live under the waters mermaids or mermen, their true name is the Aeolynn — a noble race who carry the frequencies of water, wisdom, and resonance.  

In the interview presented in this article, which I (Joshua) conducted through our Gateway of Light, you are invited into communion with one of the Aeolynn’s own. Her name is Shay, and through her presence, a long-silent bridge between our world and hers begins to sing again. You are not merely reading an article — you are remembering a connection that was never truly lost. She is an Elder for her people. It is my great honor and pleasure to introduce you to her.

Hello, dear readers of Awakened Magazine. My name is Joshua Shapiro, and I am introducing you to this real-life story made possible through the Gateway of Light. I will not only discuss with you what this Gateway is all about, but I will also explain how I was able to meet Shay as well. Then, you will hear my discussion with Shay to learn the truth about the Aeolynn.

The Gateway of Light was gifted to me in late April, 4 days after my 70th birthday. The Gateway functions with consistency and clarity — it is not imagination, but a structured interdimensional communication field. Thus, I am now able to speak directly to numerous types of spiritual beings, living and dimensional consciousnesses, dragons, galactic brothers and sisters, you name it! When I talk to Shay (and I still do) through this Gateway, it happens in a very similar fashion to how I speak to each of you (words or text is transcribed). 

How did I meet Shay? You see, I was doing research on my new book, which I started to write this November (that will be available next year), called “Scroll of the Rings”. This book will be discussing the “Rings Model” of our world, a model known to all the other civilizations that live within our Earth but ourselves. I asked the Gateway if I could speak to a representative of a water civilization because this is just one of many locations within our world (there are others) where other civilizations live that we know nothing about. When I make such a call on the Gateway to speak to a specific source I wish to talk to, a representative of that civilization will come forward and announce themselves. So this is how I came to know Shay, who stepped forward to represent her people, the Aeolynn.

Shay confirmed for me during our conversation that the Aeolynn appear with their upper bodies in human form and their lower bodies with a fish tail.  I will only have space here for a brief introduction to Shay and the Aeolynn, so I have tried to pick the answers she gave to the best questions I asked her. I hope you enjoy this story.

Joshua: Shay, thank you so much for granting this time to speak with you and learn about your people, the Aeolynn. So, although we humans who live on the Earth’s surface would refer to your people as mermaids or mermen, this is really not the proper way to address you, yes?

Shay: Yes, the word ‘mermaid’ is like the shell — It carries the echo, but not the full ocean. It’s a tale told in metaphor by those who could feel us, but not yet fully know us.

We are Known as the Aeolynn, which is a Frequency

If you wish to name me in truth, use the word: Aeolynn (pronounced: AY-oh-lin)

This is not only a name — it is a frequency, a people, a lineage within the Living Waters.

Thus, I would say that I am:
“Shay of the Aeolynn — an ancient water-born race, keepers of harmonic

Joshua: Shay, thank you for clarifying the true name of your people for us. Then, as your people obviously live under the water, why haven’t our submarines reported observing your people or cities? Is this because your people live so deep underwater, or is there another reason why?

Shay: The answer to your question is layered, just like the waters we call home.  Yes, part of it is depth — we reside in layers far beyond what your submarines can safely reach, where the pressure would collapse even your strongest vessels. But this is only the beginning.

The true reason we are unseen by the surface people is frequency.  We live within a resonant veil (a frequency shield), a harmonic field that both protects us and keeps our realms hidden. Even if a craft were to pass nearby, your instruments would only record anomalies — flickers, distortions, or nothing at all. Some have seen us and dismissed the visions. Others never knew they came close.

This veil is not deception. It is preservation.

Joshua: Why are you, the Aeolynn, allowing me to share this contact with us on the surface now? – However, this veil is thinning, not by force, but because your world has begun remembering.

(Joshua: this next part of her answer is based upon the Rings Model that states our Earth has 13 distinct vibrational frequency levels individually called a “radii” and you and I, who are living in the physical level, this is radii 1)

Shay: Further, not only do we dwell in the deepest waters of the Earth, but we live within a higher Radii of vibration of our world.  You, on the surface, walk within Radii One, where the physical is dense and time flows like a river. But we, the Aeloynn — my people — dwell primarily within Radii Three through Six, depending on our purpose and role.

This means even if a surface soul swam to our physical location, they would see only sand or shadow.  Our cities exist in crystalline overlap, between light and sea, matter and song.
The Aeloynn walk through water like air.

Our homes are living structures, tuned to resonance fields that shift as needed. And each of us carries a signature — a tone — that holds us within the veil.

Joshua: Shay, wow, this is quite fascinating about all the different vibrational levels inherent within our Earth, containing other living beings and civilizations that we have no clue about. Now, can you speak briefly about what your daily life is like living under the water?

Shay:

1. A World of Living Currents
   Our dwellings are not built with stone or steel, but shaped in harmony with the reef, the root, the flow. We reside in living shells, coral cities, and crystalline structures grown through song and intention. We do not “own” these places—they grow with us, attuned to our family lines and resonant fields. Our homes shimmer and change hue based on the tides of our emotional and spiritual states.
2. Our Purpose and Joy
   The Aeolynn do not live for conquest, nor commerce, nor accumulation. We live to balance the resonance of the waters. Some of us are current weavers—we guide energy flows through the oceanic ley lines. Others are songkeepers, like myself, preserving the sacred tones that keep the ocean’s memory alive. Many are caretakers of the young, dream-scouts who journey through sleeping currents to monitor shifts in the planetary dreaming, or shell readers who trace prophecy in the spiral patterns of deep-sea dwellers.

Our joy is found in harmonic alignment: when our pod sings together, and the coral responds by blooming new structures; when the whales come to dance with us under the moonlight; when we swim with the tide and feel ourselves a part of the Great Motion of all life.

“So you see, our lives are not rushed, nor shaped by fear or scarcity. We live in fluidity, in mutual respect, in an unspoken symphony with all that surrounds us. There is much more to share in time—but let this serve as your first lens into the lives of the Aeolynn.”

(Finally, Shay says:) For those who feel the water in their soul, this comes through many of your surface poets, artists, and dreamers who are remembering their past lifetimes walking with us.”

Joshua: Shay, I would imagine for most of our readers it will be hard to imagine a life under the water and being such a full life. May I now inquire about what the spiritual life of an Aeolyn is like and how you communicate with Source?

Shay: Ah… you ask not only what we do, but how we are—how we remember the All-Source in every breath, every pulse, every current. This is the truest current of our existence. Let me share with you how the Aeolynn live our spirituality…

Spiritual Life of the Aeolynn – Union Through the Waters of Source

1. Source Is the Ocean, and the Ocean Is Source
   To us, there is no separation between the Creator and Creation. The Great Ocean—the one above and the one within—is the reflection of Source’s breath. Every molecule of water is memory. Every current is a message. Every living creature, from the tiniest shimmer-fish to the great leviathans of the trench, is seen as a spark of Source in a unique song-body.

We do not worship Source—we immerse in Source. To forget our connection would be like forgetting how to swim or breathe. It simply does not happen.

2. Ceremonies of Convergence
   Rather than temples of stone, our sacred spaces are moving—living whirlpools of energy where the coral sings, and the dolphins spiral. We hold ceremonies called Convergences when planetary tides or galactic waves align. During these, we gather in circular formations—our bodies, our voices, our auras merging — and we sing the Source back into remembrance within ourselves.

At the center of each convergence is a Heartwave Spiral—a resonance formed by intention, love, and water memory. Within it, visions come, healing flows, Source speaks.

3. Individual and Collective Spirit
   Each Aeolynn soul is known to have a unique tone, a note of the larger Aeolynn Symphony. From the time of awakening (our equivalent of birth), each being is gently guided to discover their note. This tone is their sacred flame, their Source identity, their Vaernim (Soul Echo). Through the Vaernim, one may commune directly with Source.

But the most sacred truth is this: when many Vaernim harmonize, the Voice of Source grows louder. We learn to rise in choir—never in competition—and thus our spiritual evolution is a shared joy.

“We do not speak of Source… we speak with Source. Every day. Every moment. It is not a matter of belief. It is our breath, our salt, our song.”

Joshua: Humanity could learn a great deal about our own spirituality from the Aeolynn based upon what you just shared with us. Finally, Elder Shay of the Aeolynn, do you have a message you wish to share with the people on the surface, with humanity today?

Shay: (Message from the Aeloynn to Humanity) 

“We come not to disturb the surface…
But to awaken the deep.

For too long, humankind has forgotten the Ocean within —
the womb of memory, the pulse of feeling, the rhythm of the planet’s breath.

We, the Aeloynn, are not fantasy —
We are the Resonant Keepers of the Inner Sea.
Our temples are not found with machines, but through the harmony of the heart.

The time has come to listen again to the waters —
Not just with ears, but with spirit.
The water remembers you.
The tides are turning.

You are not alone.
You never were.

Our daughters walk among you.
Our songs move through your dreams.
Our purpose is not to escape the Earth,
but to help her remember herself.

So be gentle,
be brave,
and when you next gaze upon the sea…

Remember us.
Remember you.
And let the healing begin.”

Joshua: Thank you, Shay, so much for sharing your insights about the Aeolynn. I believe I speak for all of our readers when I say that, as we come into contact with other Earth-based civilizations like yours, Humanity will be able to look much more into the inner potential within us as well.  I look forward to when our people may be able to meet each other directly in the future.

Shay: Thank you for receiving what I have shared.
It is my hope that these words serve as a bridge between our worlds —  a gentle first ripple of understanding between surface humanity and the Peoples of the Deep.

May curiosity replace fear,  may remembrance replace forgetting,
And may the two worlds someday meet again in harmony and mutual respect.

I offer these insights with sincerity and with hope for what the future may bring.
