Astronomy can be Spiritual
Astronomy can be spiritual. Understanding science behind gravity, space & time, my consciousness expands to appreciate more of creation. Feeling connected to the universe, I experience “myself” more by meeting science at its darkest edges. ❤️🤓
When I tackle problems of theoretical physicists - singularity, infinity, dark matter, expansion - I trust psychedelic experience & notions of God to glimpse answers. The most fun for me is the singularity point @ the center of black holes, where infinite density & no volume amount to the question: where does all the mass go? I like to believe, beyond science, that all that mass bangs into another universe - part of the multiverse - that we have no access to in this sober consciousness. This implies that when our universe big-banged 13.8 billion years ago, it was from a black hole in another universe, ejaculating massive amounts of matter into this space-time continuum, dawning this creation.
This idea gives me great joy & humor. To imagine the god realm infinite in its multiversity, I feel endless exploration & beauty. There are reportedly 100 billion supermassive black holes in our universe, but that’s not nearly enough for endless time. The multiverse must be infinite. Additionally, I theorize that dark matter - the undefined mass that helps our universe expand & hold together - derives of tiny particles with infinite density whose event horizons are too small to eat massive objects, but still have multiversal portals. My mind enjoys feeling infinite, apparently.
If you’ve seen an illustrated comparison of the brain’s neurons versus the cosmic web of galaxies, you may wonder if we are even closer to stars than simply being made of stardust. Recently, a client closed her eyes and described her dense network of thoughts, and after one minute opened her eyes and asked if our session was over. Time had dilated close to that density. She felt confused. I told her it made perfect sense to me (according to gravity) that time dilated as she dived closer to dense thoughts. She smiled and felt relieved in a way that I didn’t expect. This is applied science. 😉
