yes exactly in fact the whirling dervishes whirl for precisely the reason you just explained, they are trying ot open up a doorway to another dimension, a dimension of spirit. i love the sufi tradition that the dervishes come from, the idea of God as the beloved is quite inspiring.

as far as black matter or dark energy go that is very interesting. in fact they recenlty calculated the amount of gravity necessary to keep the universe in place and determined that MOST matter must be "dark matter" because all of the matter that exists could not generate near enough gravity to keep the universe in its proper place!! of course no one knows what or where this dark matter is!! funny. but a black hole at the center of everything? thats thought provoking. thne again, maybe a black hole is just a worm hole i.e. a portal to the other world, either another dimension or the spirit world, and this portal is the doorway for the energy to come thru from the spirit world to keep this world going?

as far as "free energy" goes, you are right, no such thing. BUT we most likely can invent something that gives us a huge amount of energy for a very small amount of effort on our part, and in that sense it could be seen as very very very inexpensive enrgy, approaching free, but not quite. thanks for reading and offering some very insightful views. its intersting how different poeple have different parts of the puzzle, and if we all pool our resources we can come up with some pretty cool things.
