INTROVERTIGO is a mini-opera and 2nd piece of 'The Bitter Suite Trilogy.' The protagonist is a homeless man named Roy, coming to terms with his introversion, mental illness and addiction. Reflecting on life, love and loss and his former obsession with materialism, he orates under bridges to imaginary flocks of disheveled disciples, proselytizing the virtues of gratitude and humility before man and God. After years of self destruction and reflection he embraces a concept in theoretical physics which postulates that we are not only currently living in the explosion of a failed star shooting outward and spinning at roughly 1000 miles per hour while we do it, but the entire process of our life cycles is how a black hole behaves and that initial explosion of creativity and energy is the Big Bang. The part that isn't shared understanding, is that it happens over and over again, ad infinitum. And the more we know about the quantum levels of carbon based forms, going down past our cells, atoms and even quarks, the more we discover those very things are exploding and imploding as well, with energy, frequency and vibration—infinitely cycling.
As you read this, you're a magnet and a key part of the process of a black hole. Sending, receiving and imploding inward then exploding outward. Both, person and particles. You aren't just participating in a black hole, you are one as well and you're made of them. We're all doing this at different frequencies. Trepid, right now you stand at the precipice of the event horizon. If you close your eyes you can hear the vacuum of space calling you and all you love into the hole and singularity. The light at the end of the funnel is the other side of the vacuum. Waiting to spit you out the other side and start the process all over again. It's energy transformation. Don't fear it. Jump and radiate outward and don't stress the not knowing. We know nothing because nothing is knowable. THAT is the secret to enlightenment. And you cannot gain it until you lose everything because only in the deep dark nothing can you find everything in the source of light— the Law of Creative Consciousness and Gratitude.
