ABSTRACT:
The Singularity Archetype defines and mediates two parallel event horizons—death and the evolutionary metamorphosis of homo Sapiens. The life cycle of an individual parallels the life cycle of the species, with both culminating in a profoundly transformative event.
The individual event horizon of death may be viewed as emergency by the ego, while the “Self” (defined by Jung as the totality of all elements of the psyche) views it as an emergence. Similarly, the species’ evolutionary event horizon is viewed as an apocalyptic extinction-level event by the ego, while the Self views it as a transcendent quantum evolutionary jump.
Manifestations of the Singularity Archetype include a number of classic aspects:
A rupture of the plane of egoic, linear-time-based consciousness and emergence into consciousness and communication that transcends linear time and egoic individuality.
Telepathic consciousness and communication in which linguistic intent may be expressed visually and in richer modalities than predominantly word-based consciousness and communication. Episodic emergence scales up to a telepathic consciousness and communication networked amongst a small group or collectives of various magnitudes, while individuality is, to varying extents, conserved.
The Singularity Archetype may be experienced via NDEs, OBEs, UFO/abduction/close encounter experiences, kundalini, and psychotropic episodes. The Singularity Archetype represents a critical point where transformation, in ways impossible to fully anticipate, will massively shift human consciousness and, therefore, the nature of “reality.”
