Well…this is just a bit over my head but nevertheless I enjoyed reading it and found it fascinating!

I decided to look up ‘the spiritual property of black holes’ and google’s AI had quite a bit to say, like this:

“ The extreme gravitational pull of a black hole can symbolize the dissolution of the ego, where individual identity melts away and one becomes part of something larger.” That resonates with me because I am reading books by David R. Hawkins - calibration of consciousness levels.

I just finished: Transcending the Levels of Consciousness.

Thank you for a very interesting read.

And thank you for your comment! I'm delighted you found the article interesting. Google's Gemini responded to your query with an intriguing metaphor -- there can be no significant spiritual progress without the dissolution of ego. The ego wants to be one's spiritual director. And that never works out well.

Self-awareness, which Hawkins emphasizes in his work, is a crucial first step on many spiritual journeys. From this perspective, developing self-awareness allows individuals to recognize and transcend ego-driven thoughts and behaviors, leading to a more profound understanding of themselves and their spiritual path.

Rational Spirituality is a non-starting premise. One must first acknowledge spirituality, then add rationality to the premise. Seems like an oxymoron to me since Spirituality is at best a notion uniquely in the eye of its beholder, unproven and illogical... No offense...

Thank you for your insightful and detailed comment, and for sharing your valuable perspectives, especially your discussion with Ervin László and your understanding of Professor Meyl's work. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

You raise a crucial point regarding the relationship between energy and information, highlighting the divergence between László's view of information primacy and Meyl's emphasis on energy generation through field vortices.

While our model aligns more closely with the concept of information as a fundamental aspect of reality, I should clarify that we propose a mass-energy-information equivalence, not a subsumption of energy into information. This means we see them as fundamentally interconnected and interconvertible, akin to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence, rather than one being a subset of the other.

This perspective, I believe, allows for the possibility of energy generation and transmission alongside information flow, potentially accommodating aspects of Meyl's field vortex theory within a broader framework. While we don't specifically address field vortices, the model's focus on quantum fields and their interactions could offer a theoretical basis for exploring such phenomena.

Your views on Tesla's distinction between frequency (quantitative) and vibration (qualitative) are particularly insightful. Framing frequency as measurable and vibration as a more fundamental, unbounded state provides a method for understanding the dynamics of the Universal/Akashic Field.

Thank you again for your thought-provoking contribution, Dr. Corrin.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your perspectives.

You raise an important point about the need to integrate phenomenology into our understanding of energy, emphasizing its qualitative experience beyond mere information.

Additionally, your caution regarding the potential risks of a transhumanist dystopia serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining connection to the embodied experience of energy in our lives.

It's likely preoccupation with the paradigm shift to multipolarity, plus the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, not to mention flying BS over New Jersey, distract us from the greater threat: a "transhumanist dystopia." This is truly a frightening prospect! The "hacking of the human soul," as Harari put it.
