The immense gravity pull within a dead or dying star is so strong that it's capable of holding light. Where light would normally travel away from its source, within or near a black hole, light circles and gets pulled back into the center of the dead star.
Creativity and light possess many similar qualities in that they flow when expressed from a central source and that they illuminate objects when they surround them in their energies. In other articles, I've also discussed how creativity is also like water in that it flows, fills a space or activity, and overflows into other areas of conquest or expression.
The person who possesses creative impulses in such extreme quantities, but who fails to express them to a sufficient degree fails to live up to their potential and wastes the reserve of artistic force with they were born.
Celebrities who’ve built their careers on an immense output of artistic production, but who die during the course of that process of discovery and unfolding of their abilities to become like black holes of creativity that pull in and do not release the light from those gifted minds. The industry, fans, and collaborators with which such an individual shared their vision and work not only lose a person, but also less tangible qualities like hope, sympathy, understanding and enjoyment.
Even non-celebrities who chose to stay away from fame or were left undiscovered by the mainstream can also become black holes of creativity within their own spheres of influence. The friends, family, and colleagues of such individuals who benefited from their energy, inspiration, and stood in awe of their incredible talent lose something very rare and special by losing a part of themselves when an artist they know dies.
When such rare talents depart the world, life losing something of its lustre and the question remains as to how it will be possible to fill the void. It’s from the existence of this void of creative talent and artistic output that a black hole of creativity is generated by leaving a vacuum in the wake of the death of an artist.
Prince was such a person, as was Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, Elliot Smith, David Bowie and many others. Artists in all categories of production and at whatever level of talent belong to this classification of humanity.
Their existence in this world is necessary and very important because they add beauty and imagination to human life and in them we differentiate ourselves from other life forms. Through them we experience how it might be to live in heaven, where our thoughts can be expressed into pure forms of creative energy amongst souls irrespective of time and space.
The world as a whole mourns the death of artists, both small and large, whose creative output might range from a few songs, poems, a film, paintings or a single dance performance to a career and lifetime of such artistic productions, because no matter the volume of their output whenever an artist dies, the world loses more of the light of creativity by reducing the amount of vision, beauty, and imagination that exists on our planet.
Black hole creativity is just one way to refer to the death of the irreplaceable artist who leaves a massive vacuum in human life by their departing. In fact, the impact of such a loss is palatable and borders on the disastrous.
Even greater than flash flooding, snowstorms, tornadoes and earthquakes is the death of an artist since humanity’s collective creative mind, which makes human life possible, is damaged. The vacuum from the black hole that is left from this loss cannot easily be filled or totally replaced, but eventually humanity recovers by the emergence of new talent or the reincarnation of old talent that can provide us with a fresh infusion of beauty, hope, creativity, and imagination.
“Man does not live by bread alone,” but instead on the work of the imagination that fills us all with a certain degree of creative energy that sustains us throughout our lives. Our very souls are made up of creativity and is what provides our minds with a foundation on which to base its activities in the world. Artists give humanity its soul, so when an artist dies humanity loses a little bit of its soul, but when a massive talent like Price dies, humanity loses a huge part of its soul and the loss requires a much longer time for recovery.
