Civilizational White Holes

Description

Will Ruddick:

"In Buddhist tradition, a Bodhisattva is one who attains awakening but chooses to remain … to assist all beings in reaching liberation. In this cosmic-evolutionary light, the Bodhisattva is like a conscious agent at the event horizon … hovering between black hole collapse and white hole emergence.

They carry the memory of the past (black hole) and seed the conditions for awakening (white hole). The Bodhisattva enters the black holes of samsara—of trauma, ignorance, destruction … But instead of being consumed, they hold intention steady, and loop it forward into liberated futures.

Perhaps like a wormhole of compassion, they carry karma as pathway … allowing others to cross.

In the language of commitment pools: Their vow ("until all beings are free") is a voucher issued across time. Their presence is a recursive trust node … stabilizing the cosmic economy of suffering and awakening.

They are like a regenerative function in the multiversal field: Not escaping collapse, but redeeming it .. birthing worlds of possibility from the ashes of entropy.

In short I like to imagine the Bodhisattva is the cosmic agent we all have within who, facing collapse, chooses to become a bridge."
