“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause at 10:50.) “… [this core is] always surrounded by these faster-than-light particles. This is a structure … but it does cause a pulling-in or wrinkling effect where it appears. There are many of these, I think, in our galaxy as well as others. Nothing can be drawn through the dead hole, though, as things can be drawn through the black hole, because of [the dead hole’s] literally impenetrable mass. Now as with atoms alone, and all other such structures, these also exist as sound.¹⁰ Black holes and white holes do also.¹¹ The sounds are actually characteristics that act as cohesivies, characteristics automatically given off. The slower center portions of the dead holes themselves move backward into beginnings becoming heavier and heavier.”

11. According to modern cosmology, a black hole consists of the remains of a very massive star (one much larger than our own sun, for example) that’s suffered complete gravitational collapse after the death of its nuclear fires. Such an object is very small and unimaginably dense; within it, time and space are interchangeable. It’s also quite invisible, because its surface gravity is so enormous that not even light can escape from it. (Yet, in Volume 1, see the comments in Note 4 for Session 688, on the possibility of light radiation from the “event horizon” of the black hole.) So far just two black holes have been tentatively located, although many of them are believed to exist.

Since the matter surrounding a black hole would also be drawn into it, some astrophysicists have suggested that this might emerge into another universe through its opposite — a white hole — where it would be seen as an extremely brilliant quasar, or quasi-stellar radio source. So there would be an exchange of matter-energy between universes or realities.

In trance or out, Jane likes to “take off” in her own creative ways from concepts like that of the tachyon, or the black hole or the white hole — so in this session she came up with the “dead hole.” Then, from another angle, she explored related ideas in Adventures; see Chapter 19, “Earth Experience as a White Hole,” in which she wrote, “What kind of a structured universe could explain both the inner and exterior worlds? If we consider the universe as a white hole — our exterior universe of sense — we at least have a theoretical framework that reconciles our inner and outer activity, our physical and spiritual or psychic experience; and the apparent dilemma between a simultaneous present in which all events happen at once, and our daily experience in which we seem to progress through time from birth to death.”

In closing: See the 593rd session in the Appendix of Seth Speaks for Seth’s material on black holes, white holes, and coordination points: “A black hole is a white hole turned inside out … The holes, therefore, or coordination points [points of double reality, or where realities merge], are actually great accelerators that reenergize energy itself.” In the 688th session for Volume 1, Seth presents an analogy in which his basic units of consciousness, or CU’s, operate as minute but very powerful black holes and white holes.

12. A note added over a year later: For some time I’ve intuitively felt connections between Jane’s material in this paragraph and ideas we first read about some six months after this 612th session was held in September 1972: that for various reasons (having to do with gravitational waves, mass, et cetera) many galaxies, including our own, could have been formed out of matter accumulating around black holes at their centers.
