“I’m getting something, Rob. Something to do with atoms. The slow thing, represented by those drawn-out sounds, is in the center of the atom. Then that’s surrounded by faster-than-light particles, represented by the real fast sounds. So the center of this thing — whatever it is — is massive in terms of mass.8 I don’t know whether this means it’s heavy or not, but it’s tremendous in terms of mass — though it may be very small in size.

(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.”
(11:00.) “In a way of speaking you could say these centers fall through space, but they really fall through the space of themselves. (Jane shook her head, her eyes closed.) As they fall backward through themselves — I’m getting this — I don’t know how to say it — the faster-than-light particles collapse in on top. The dead hole seems to swallow itself, with the real fast particles like a lid that gradually diminishes … From our point of view the hole is closed, say, once the faster-than-light particles follow the slower core backward into beginnings.”

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.
