A whole hole

I love it that Whole and Hole are homonyms. I love that they are practically opposites. I also love that the ultimate Hole, the Black Hole, is thought of in the scientific community to be a place without volume (volume = zero), yet it has infinite density. It is gravitational singularity - the Whole. The contents of the Black Hole is also called a "solution." Not only does it imply some sort of liquid, churning, mixing state where everything dissolves into One, but it also implies that there is a solution - an answer.

Are we ready to give up the holes in ourselves, the places of attachment that rip the fabric of our Being and make it harder to free fall into the One? Are we ready to give up the "I" of it all? The further we get from being locked into duality, the further we wander towards the Black Hole, until at one point, the pull becomes so great, time gets so expanded as we are stretched between 2 realities that we can either keep fighting it, which results in turmoil and pain, or we can let go and let God. Or whatever you want to call It. You know I love bringing in a tired old cliche right about now, and that One did the trick.

And thank you Panditji for the insights around Black Holes and gravitational singularity. Macro (brahmanda) and micro (pindanda).
