BLACK HOLES and SOUND
At the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy lies a massive Black Hole. The size of Galaxies are inextricably intertwined with the size of the black hole; the bigger the hole, the bigger the Galaxy. Black holes birthed our Galaxy, and possibly even our universe. Interestingly enough, Black holes can also be detected by listening for the sounds they create — energy carried by gravitational waves.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory detected these sound waves from the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, recording a “note” that is the deepest we have ever detected from any object in the universe. In musical terms, the pitch of the sound generated by the black hole translates into the note of B flat, but a human would have no chance of hearing this because the note is 57 octaves lower than middle-C (by comparison a typical piano contains only about seven octaves) a frequency over a million, billion times deeper than the limits of human hearing.
Quantum physics recently discovered that we have black holes within us, in the centre of our cells. The black hole in us is the same form as the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. Black holes are essential for all the notes of matter to play, to form, to be born in the spheres of gravity and modes of time emanating from it. In this vibratory picture of the Cosmos, each note or syllable vibrates, producing planets, ideas, thoughts, feelings and worlds.
In Indian sonic philosophy, the sequence and meaning of the Sanskrit alphabet [1] tells us of a wave moving throughout creation, forming perceptions, mind and matter, painting a picture of the harmonious unfolding of all vibrational forms in the many functions of the ever expanding creative process.
This wave leaves the creation it has just created, to then reappear again, to then dissolve again, and so on, continually repeating and rebirthing itself in every single nano second, in this journey from form into formless into form. Matter and mind perpetually reappear and disappear. All life shimmers, flickering in a toroidal flow moving so continuously fast that our senses cannot register it, vibrating at 570 trillion HZ a second.
Black holes create the conditions for this wave. In a black hole, time changes. Approaching a black hole, your movements and watch become slower and slower until, at the event horizon, one would appear frozen in time. [2] All light, waves of gravity and time, get sucked into this infinitely dense point, becoming a singularity.
This total one pointed focus is the goal of many meditational practices: to meditate and open into the Bindu point in the brain, where all aspects of consciousness, all parts of the mind body and soul converge into a one pointed focus so ones consciousness enters the Great Singularity. To experience the consciousness of a black hole one dissolves their self, having to travel through the intense energies of time and gravity emanating from it. This is a powerful journey which we are partially experiencing through our emotional and spiritual lessons on our paths of growth.
The black hole is symbolised by a perfect circle. If we draw lines radiating out from a circle, they meet in an optical illusion known as pragnanz — a circle that is there but not there, as it is not actually drawn, but formed by the lines themselves. The lines are infinite emanations of the vacuum — they are the vacuum or void in movement. The central point or Bindu is where all lines meet and dissolve. In this point of intense focus and concentration of all forces, you go through the Bindu point into “no point”, or infinite space, a state characterised by deep bliss and the dissolution of yourself.
In quantum physics these are known as Null lines, paths taken by light rays and mass less particles. There is no difference between these lines and the vacuum itself: the lines and infinite circle are the same. Indeed, a geometry based on null lines is the Grail of quantum physics, for in a Universe having such a geometry, mass does not exist.
All distances, times and ideas of large or small, micro and macro, no longer exist, and no time would elapse from travelling from one point to another. Not even one second passes from the time you leave, say Sirius, to Earth, for along such a null line the distance to the stars is 0. When you look along a null line, nothing separates you from all that you see in the Universe. In fact, you are everything that you perceive around you in all directions — there is no separation.
