Abstract

The modern conception of the black hole, arising from the equations of General Relativity, presents us with a paradoxical entity: a region of spacetime defined not by substance, but by limit. It is a boundary condition—a locus where curvature becomes extreme, where conventional description falters, and where the known laws of physics approach their terminus. At its mathematical core lies the so-called singularity, not necessarily a physical point, but an indication that our present formulations reach beyond their domain of validity. Yet, long before such constructs were formalised, esoteric philosophy, articulated in works such as The Secret Doctrine by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, posited the existence of “laya centres” or neutral points: states of suspension between planes, wherein differentiation ceases and potential alone remains. Likewise, the 19th-century formulations of Keely describe an “inter-etheric point,” a vacuous yet potent centre from which force and form alike are derived.
