Spiritual Science: What the Stars Teach Us About Grief, Collapse, and Letting Go

————————————————————————————-

One night, I found myself down a rabbit hole, thinking about consciousness and brain waves. Delta for deep sleep, theta for meditation, alpha for daydreaming, beta for wakefulness — and gamma. Gamma held my attention. Gamma waves are linked to our heightened perception, insight, and consciousness.

That’s when a question struck me: does consciousness arise from frequency?

If higher frequencies correlate with deeper awareness… what, in the universe, produces the highest frequencies? I’m no physicist — this was entirely speculative — but I came across something that blew my mind: black holes can emit gravitational waves at incredibly high frequencies during massive cosmic events. These aren’t the same as the electromagnetic waves our brains use, but it led me down the rabbit hole anyway.

So I asked myself:

If frequency and consciousness are connected… could a black hole be conscious?

That question didn’t lead me deeper into theory. It led me inward. Because in the silence of collapse, I saw myself. My grief. My body. My memories.

And I realized: black holes aren’t just physical. They’re metaphors.

They mirror what it means to carry a weight too heavy to hold — and then, somehow, release.

Here is the poem that came from that moment of reflection:

Grief doesn’t always feel like something we move through. Sometimes, it feels like something that moves through us — until we collapse, and something new begins to form.

We are made of stars. Of black holes. Of stories. And like the cosmos, we don’t just collapse. We emit.
