A Black Hole is a mass in space that does not allow any light to escape. If you look at its position in space you literally just see a black circle in the middle of many stars. For a long time scientists believed that it was an open space where nothing, no planet or star could exist. Today it is not seen as a space but as an enormous mass. The theory is that the mass is so large that its gravitation power does not allow light to escape. If you throw something into the air it will go away from the earth until earth’s gravitation will pull it back towards it, but if you could throw it with so much power that it goes faster than 11.2 km/second the earth will not pull it back because it is above the Earths escape velocity. The bigger the planet the higher is the escape velocity or the gravitational pull. The theory is that a black hole is such a large mass that its escape velocity is higher than the speed of light. In other words light travels to slow to escape the black hole’s gravitational pull. That is why we only see a dark circle, there is light, but it can’t escape the mass in order for us to see it. Although not held by all scientists, there is a theory that each galaxy has a black hole in its center.
I believe that a black hole is also central in each human being. It is not as if it is really dark in the middle of your soul, it is just that light can not escape from it and that others can not see the light in your own black hole. The worst of this black hole is not whether others can see the light or not; the worst is if you yourself doubt the light in the center of your soul. Unfortunately most people do not believe in their own central soul-light. They look into their soul and they just can’t see their own worth; they look into their own soul and they only see a black hole; they look into their soul and they miss the amazing light within. Maybe you think I am too negative, maybe you do not believe that people are mostly blind to their own soul-light, but let me explain:
I listen to gay guys complaining about the fact that they can not find that special person; the one they sing about:
“You light up my senses...”
“Save me, take me away...”
“Love lift us up...”
“Lady in red...”
“All you need is love...”
“Perhaps love is like a...”
“When I saw you standing there...”
I hear how lovers complain about the partners they have...., the partners who left them....the partners they can not find. I see posts on Facebook like....Ben is single, Ben is in a relationship, Ben is engaged, Ben is married, Ben is in an open relationship, Ben is...... and its complicated, Ben is single and I hear the comments like....wow....good for you.....congratulations....no.....what happened. I see people crying, hoping, finding, loving, doubting, breaking up and crying again. What is this damn illusive happiness that so many people are searching for? Why don’t they find it in their relationships?
Is it possible that many of us are running around searching for something that is right in front of us and yet we can not see it? Is it possible that the light you are searching for is inside yourself and you just have to realize it? Is it possible that there are a perfect light within, but we are holding it so tight that it can not shine, it can not escape? In the well known book “the road less travelled” Peck gives his own solution for the problem. According to him you will never be able to have a relationship if you do not get a balance between love for yourself, God and those around you. For him the central light is love that splits three ways and if you deny that love to escape you will never have inner peace. Within that line of thinking there would never be a relationship if you can not give or receive love. The perfect relationship will elude you as long as you are denying yourself to let go of your search for receiving love, without giving twice as much. All the great thinkers pondered on this and all of them came to the same conclusion time and time again. It is only through giving that you will receive.
That brings me back to the black hole. A black hole is an enormous mass that are attracting everything with so much power that not even the light can escape from it. It has a need to receive that is so strong that it devours everything that come close to it. A black hole is so powerful in taking that it can never give away. A black hole is not pretty and inviting like a shining star, in fact it is invisible to our eyes. Nobody can see it, nobody wants to come close to it, nobody finds it attractive and nobody can fall in love with it. If it could only let go, if it could only give away the ample light that it has, if it could only learn to share, others would have looked at it with more bewilderment than at a star, because a black hole is much bigger, has much more energy and has much more light to share. If you are searching for that perfect love, remember the black hole ever searching to receive and incapable to give. Be a perfect giver of love and you will be amazed about what you can receive, but remember, if you are giving only to receive then you are not really giving at all.
