The “Singularity Archetype” has two primary interpretations: 

one related to human evolution and transcendence, and another related to a psychological principle of intense focus and core truth. 

In Transpersonal Psychology and Futurology

As described by author Jonathan Zap and NDE researcher Dr. Kenneth Ring, the Singularity Archetype in a collective sense represents a resonance, flowing backward through time, of an approaching future event horizon at the end of human history. 

• Core Transformation: This archetype suggests a fundamental transformation of core human aspects like ego, individuality, corporeality, and linear time perception.
• Emergence of “Homo gestalt”: It envisions the emergence of a new species (“Homo gestalt”) with telepathically networked individual psyches and “glorified bodies” with enhanced powers, transcending the limits of corporeal incarnation.
• Individual Experiences: Individuals may experience aspects of this archetype through transcendent or anomalous events, such as near-death experiences (NDEs), UFO encounters, or psychedelic episodes, which can serve as catalysts for a jump in spiritual awareness. 

In Personal Mythology and Jungian Thought

In a personal context, the “Single Point” or Singularity archetype (drawing inspiration from the physics concept of infinite density at the core of a black hole) embodies the power of radical simplicity, unwavering focus, and a singular, defining truth or event in a person’s life. 

• Strengths: It provides clarity, an almost supernatural ability to concentrate, and a powerful, stable anchor of identity. The individual seeks the one core principle or “one note your soul was meant to sing”.
• Weaknesses (Shadow Side): An intense focus can lead to tunnel vision, rigidity, isolationism, and an extreme vulnerability if the single core belief or connection is challenged or lost. Its shadow can also manifest as an all-consuming obsession or complete nihilism.
• Pivotal Moments: It may symbolize a pivotal event in one’s timeline (an “event horizon”) that creates a clear “before and after,” giving a radial meaning to the entire life story. 

In Popular Culture and Science

The term “singularity” is also widely used to refer to the technological singularity, a hypothetical future point where artificial superintelligence surpasses human intelligence, leading to an intelligence explosion and unpredictable changes in civilization. This concept itself can be viewed as an archetype reflecting humanity’s hopes and fears about the future of technology and human existence.
