Black Holes, Part II

A series of ongoing cosmological ruminations, part 6: the inner gravity of particles of being, and other things

“All the phenomena of the life of a given cosmos, examined from another cosmos, assume a completely different aspect and have a completely different meaning. Many new phenomena appear and many other phenomena disappear. This in general completely changes the picture of the world and of things.”

G.I. Gurdjieff, as quoted in In Search of the Miraculous, P. 208

The point about black holes is that they are living creatures—in fact, intelligences.

We even have some particles in ourselves that have a direct identity shared with the galaxy we are in, that is, in the sense of the ray of creation, "all suns”—and we also have some few particles that are, more than likely, and tangled with the identity of the black hole at the center of this galaxy, which is at an extraordinarily high level of consciousness.

If you use a little bit more thought, you will understand that Gurdjieff's "higher centres" are formed from particles that share identity at this level, which is why we can have thoughts, feelings, and experiences that emanate from that place. It isn't because they belong to that higher level of the cosmos and are sent into us: they are exist and are possible simply because we actually have that in us already – which is more or less what Gurdjieff said.

So when we try to understand black holes from the strictly physical point of view, of course they’re going to do all kinds of things that baffle us. Like quanta, they don't obey cosmological laws in the material sense that we understand it.
