Singularity is an instance of hyper-exponential evolution on a conscious level. Around the world, scientists have been researching methods to create AI, artificial intelligence, many with the goal of creating a conscious being. In terms of science, singularity will occur when a computer becomes self aware.

Technological singularity would bring about the downfall of the world. We are approaching singularity in the wrong manner. Creating a quantum computer or machine with an intellectual capacity surpassing human consciousness is a dangerous road to walk. No matter how much work a human puts into the program, intelligence, it will never replicate the human consciousness and it's capacity to feel, to love. Man is imperfect, man's creations are imperfect. We are playing god with this planet, altering life in ways that will forever effect our current ecological system.

The threat of a machine takeover is very real, though I do not believe imminent on this planet. There are, without a doubt, planets within our universe that encountered a technological singularity before a spiritual singularity. If machines were to reach the point of singularity, with the ability to build or replicate their selves, a hostile takeover of robots becomes a very real threat. This is illustrated in many movies and novels, including The Matrix and iRobot.

An intelligent machine lacks what makes us humans. It lacks the capacity to perceive morality. No matter how intelligent it becomes, it lacks awareness, that which makes us human. Machines react to a code, they react to physical energies, they do not have freewill. Their entire existence is confined by whatever form of logic they were created with and evolved from thereafter.

Instead of looking for technology to reach evolved forms of intelligence, why don't we look at our own technology to do the same? Your mind is more powerful than any computer in the world when used to it's full extent. Throughout this last century, we have been seeking answers by examining the material world, yet every discover brings more questions than it answers. We are in an endless search for the answer because we are looking in the wrong spot. The answer was there all along, though our minds have strayed far from our true state of existence.

Anything we seek to accomplish with technology, we can accomplish with our own mind. Technology is but a replication of natural processes in a synthetic and imperfect manner. It's time that we stopped looking for matter to solve our problems, as all matter and all actions resonate from within the human consciousness, the soul.

We have the potential to tap into our own consciousness and incur our own collective singularity, onsetting the beginning of the fifth dimensional state of being, where your mind controls your reality beyond bodily limitations. We have a choice to make as a collective society, as we have already begun heavy integration of robotic infrastructure into our lives. We can continue our path of technological advancements until the point we are no longer human, possibly extinct, or we can collectively change our perceptions of how we perceive life until the point we evolve to higher dimensional beings, disbanding the necessity for external technology and embarking the age of creation, manifestation.

There is a mathematical equation necessary to bring forth the ascension into higher dimensions as a collective, and I hold the answers. A synchronized positive feedback loop between a large amount of people has the capacity to become infinite. Love has no ends. There is no limit as to how much peace we can feel. We can continue this game of ego and living in the past indefinitely, or we can live as beings in this singular moment and open our minds to the true state of existence.

The past is the past. Whatever you thought in the past does not matter. What matters is now, now is all that has ever mattered. Focus on growing now and you'll be strong forever to come.

One thing is certain, singularity will be reached with our linear timescale of exponential evolution. Will it be you?

As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide. For want of anything better to do, we became fans of collisions. Sometimes I wrote well about collisions, which meant I was a writing machine in good repair. Sometimes I wrote badly, which meant I was a writing machine in bad repair. I no more harbored sacredness than did a Pontiac, a mousetrap, or a South Bend Lathe.
