For more than twenty years, I've been trying to understand the mechanics of psychological movement that enable one to reach higher states of mind.
My explorations led me through the realms of music, art, fiction, psychology, and spirituality. My blog, "The Art of Psychological Travel", is an attempt to summarize my findings in a formal manner and to describe my life's pivotal, evolution-inspiring experiences that led me to reach my conclusions.
Excerpt from "Black Holes and the Art of Transformation":
"Einstein's Theory of Relativity showed that space and time were part of one fabric, named spacetime, and that large bodies of mass warp spacetime. This warpage is responsible for the force of gravity. Black holes, though they might not possess any mass at all, cause massive warpage of spacetime that increases the closer one gets to the black hole's center, also called the 'point of singularity'."
"I began to wonder whether one could construct a psychological model born out of an analogy to the spacetime fabric, let's call it 'consciousness-time', and if so, whether or not similar laws would apply between the two. When we concentrate on a single idea, desire, or state of being, are we creating a point of singularity in the consciousness-time fabric that pulls us towards that point of focus?"
