The ’entrance’ to Oneness, resembling a black hole, is so tiny that only nothing can slip through it and gently float into the formlessness of Oneness.
When the above Zen-like strokes meet quickly, they form a circle and, thus, a hole, often referred to as a black hole in the Enlightenment of that which is One. Yet this hole is not necessarily centred or black. It’s typically brimming with flashes of ever-changing colours, which also move rapidly and chaotically outside the Zen-like strokes.
However, you can’t see them in this simplified illustration. Nor can you see that the lightshow is rapidly absorbed by the luminous ring emerging along the hole’s inner edge.
In a sudden, blinding burst, this ring becomes a light so bright that there’s nothing to see, thus nothing to be. This is why nobody experiences nothing smoothly pulled through a hole in the light too tiny for something to pass.
On the other side, this nothingness floats into Oneness. Because it’s formless, thus endless, there never was or will be anything else. Therefore, as you have never departed that which is One except in fantasy, your return is also fiction

The Enlightenment of that which is One is like a powerful vacuum cleaner, drawing in not only dust but the entire floor and everything visible. Hence, there does not seem to be something hiding what cannot be seen, namely, that which is One. Of course, this is a metaphor. Oneness, formless and thus endless, can’t be concealed by anything else. Consequently, the Enlightenment of that which is One doesn’t extract anything but the belief in being somebody seeing something.
As it does so immediately, there’s nobody to notice that the inner edge of a circle formed by Zen-like strokes turns into a luminous ring. Nor that this ring immediately starts whirling so fast that it becomes one light, absorbing everything. This leaves nothing but a light too brilliant to be seen, gently pushing nobody through a black gap too tiny for somebody. Beyond light and dark, this non-being floats through a vast void into the formlessness of Oneness.
Labelling turns off the Enlightenment of that which is One
The above description suggests that returning to Oneness occurs in a world of linear time, a concept we are familiar with. However, Oneness is timeless, so the above takes no time at all. Additionally, Oneness is shapeless, so it has no entrance, resembling a Zen circle or any other form.
In other words, there’s no way in or out of the formlessness of Oneness. Still, because we appear to be in a world with more than one, Alexius continues the description of the Enlightenment of that which is One in that context.
Although the floating centre of the Zen-like circle – the so-called ‘entrance’ to Oneness – is often called a black hole, it may not look like one. Instead, it may resemble a horse’s head, as depicted on page 585. The stroke that encircles this ‘hole’ is not one stroke but two silvery strokes, drawn simultaneously from the top by no one and without a brush, quickly and smoothly. In the illustration on page 582, these strokes have not yet converged. When they do, simultaneously, you see a lightshow of lucid colours outside the circle.
However, if you compare the Zen-like strokes to known shapes, they never merge into a circle but are replaced by images of a familiar world with more than one. Ergo, your belief in more than one isn’t extracted but enhanced. Consequently, your non-being doesn’t set out on the timeless, distance-free journey back to formless Oneness.
In short, defining or labelling the Enlightenment of that which is One prevents you from being nothing and floating into the formlessness of Oneness. Thus, you do not pass through a black hole in a Zen-like circle, which is no longer a hole but a colourless light so bright that there is nothing to see and, thus, nothing to obscure the formlessness of Oneness.
Put simply, when you insist on being someone seeing more than one, you can’t enter the Enlightenment of that which is One. Instead, you get glimpses of it through inward-facing consciousness. See Duality Hack #11.1.
But you don’t see this because the light is so blinding that you cease to appear as someone definitive. That’s why your nothingness can pass through the black hole, too tiny for something, into an endless void, where it keeps floating until absorbed by emptiness. Hence, since there doesn’t seem to be anything outside of Oneness, nothing appears to conceal that there never was or will be anything other than that which is One.
The Enlightenment of that which is One
But let us assume you don’t compare the Zen-like strokes initiating the Enlightenment of that which is One to something familiar. Then, the strokes meet to form a hole from which one light extracts the belief in more than one, so that nothing can pass through a black hole too tiny for something.
However, when you don’t label the quickly drawn circle as something, you barely notice the black hole it forms, nor the psychedelic light show outside it. Yet, you may sense a white glowing ring within the hole’s edge, emerging from nowhere and rapidly becoming one borderless bright light. This light, neither opaque nor transparent, is so intense that it can’t be seen – nor can anything else, for it extracts the belief in more than one.
Thus, your nothingness floats weightlessly through a discontinued black hole until it neither floats nor is still, and neither is nothing nor something but that which is One.
Of course, this description is not literal but metaphorical, echoing Alexius’ non-being in one perpetual present, entering what it never left: that which is One. Yet you’d be better off forgetting his description so you don’t use it to define the Enlightenment of that which is One, thereby preventing it from undoing your belief in more than one. Even better, forget what and where you believe in being, and so welcome the Enlightenment of that which is One.
Epilogue 1
The Enlightenment of that which is One is not for those who believe in coming from the heart, having direct experiences, or being full of compassion. These states depend on belief in more than one, and there’s no room for more than one in the Enlightenment of that which is One.
Epilogue 2
The black hole in the Enlightenment of that which is One is non-definitive, thus not necessarily black or as described above. For instance, Alexius has had glimpses in which the black hole appeared to be made of pinning triangular shapes – like ultrasonogram segments – whirling around an elusive centre. They spun so fast that they soon looked like a glittering white stroke at the black hole’s inner edge. Simultaneously, one lucid light, more powerful than thousands of atomic bombs, exploded from the dark hole and emptied everything.
At times, ‘the black hole’ may resemble a horsehead (see the pink image further up) or an embryo (Duality Hack #11.1). Its appearance is unpredictable, defying any particular pattern or label. In the face of such wonder, do yourself a favour and forget labelling the Enlightenment of that which is One. [Image from the internet]
