Then, he said he was going to illustrate the opposite process that represents a different model. While he spoke, he colored the sun black. "This is a black hole in space," he explained. "A black hole is created by a type of star that had collapsed into itself by its own gravity, creating a gravitational force so immense that it draws everything inwards unto itself. Not a single ray of light escapes from it. Whatever planets are near, are drawn irresistibly inwards into its blackness to be crushed by its gravity." He illustrated the inwards flowing motion by reversing the arrows that before represented rays of light and life giving energy. Once he was finished reversing all the arrows he turned the projection system off and made the lights in the auditorium brighter again.

      "These two examples are representative of the way people think," he continued. "Some people think like black holes operate. They draw everything around them unto themselves to fulfill their own wishes, their own desires, and their own needs. Their mentality, therefore, is inwards oriented. It functions like a black hole. It functions according to the model of the black hole in space. This is the feudal model; the royal model; the Roman/Byzantine model. Rome existed exclusively by means of looting all the nations around it. That's the mark of an empire! That's why empires exist! America was an empire, in this regard. America existed by means of looting the world. South America has been looted. Africa has been more than looted; to the point of genocide and beyond. Russia had been so brutally looted that its population was collapsing by a million people a year.

      "But the black hole also is the model for the way many people think. It is tempting to adopt this model. The result of this orientation of thinking, is theft, looting, and destruction. It also results in various types rape, all the way up the scale to outright murder. This kind of thinking is not natural, of course. It has been artificially created in distant ages for the maintenance of power; for the looting of humanity. Like a deadly virus, this kind of thinking still infests our modern society. As a matter of fact, it has infested almost all of us. Just be honest with yourself and examine your axioms, and you will find reflections of this model dominating your very being.

      "The opposite kind of thinking functions according to the model of the sun," said Ross. "its dynamic pattern matches the outwards flowing process of the sun's light. By this type of process, society and the world becomes enriched."

      Here Ross laughed. He said that this model requires that we all become a sun ourselves. "But how do we become a sun?" he asked. "That's easy!" he answered his own question. "We discover the riches of our humanity; our intelligence; science; honor; joy; art; beauty; sublimity. We become discoverers; we discover universal principles; universal truth; we embrace these. In then we find our Soul; we fall in love with ourselves, with who we are; with our humanity. By this, we shine. We shine like a sun. By this, we love. We enrich and uplift one-another."

      Ross pointed out that this process is also self-amplifying, because it draws on a source that is always new. "It draws on ever richer discoveries of fundamental principles; unfolding technologies and energies that extend the effectiveness of human labor, as well as the creativity of the human genius and the development of its science."

      Ross added that the black hole mentality quickly becomes a prison for mankind and a death chamber, because the inward drawing rape never satisfies. Looting never enriches society, no matter how strongly mankind believes that stealing can create riches. In contrast to this, a rich, radiant and out-flowing mentality opens the gates to the infinite potential of man; to responsibility; freedom; creative power; joy; peace.
