Terence McKenna and Gregory Stock speak about the epic transition we face in the very near future called the Singularity.

This shift will be the result of the inevitable culmination of infinite technological progress and the emergence of completely new states of connectedness. Once the Singularity happens, infinite growth is reached. Within a very short amount of time (as a result of this exponential growth), we will take our first steps towards a new age as an entirely new entity.

We will then go on to saturate the entire physical universe with our newly born super-intelligence, or we will gain the ability to actually leave the 3-Dimensional universe and move to higher (or simply other) states of being.

  • Technological singularities, in order to be successful species-wide, must be preempted by a cognitive singularity, or a shift in consciousness that prepares the collective for the transformation. If a tech. singularity were to occur without this prepping, the result would be implosion via psychosis, which may be a built-in universal failsafe that ensures only the worthy can traverse the boundary.

  • @Evasius

    it seams to me we already have a worldwide psychosis? :/

  • @A1r3adyT4ken - well not everyone will traverse the boundary

  • Happy Christmas 2012. thumbs up pmsl

  • ‎"So, in a way, The best practice for the approaching singularity is the repeated dissolving and reconstituting of one's personality through the use of psychedelic substances." I loved it when he said that.

  • The Mayan calender does NOT end on December 21 2012, it continues on for thousands of years past that date, so all 'prophecies' based on this fundamental error are worthless.

  • @Evasius Wow! A truly heavy observation.

  • Singularity is the awareness that we are in fact both physical and metaphysical, simultaneously. To realize means to make real; "realize" your singularity; the totality of ones self.

    I am the one, the singular self.

  • my first pychedelic experience was with salvia and i had a scary encounter with two devils whispering in both of my ears guiding me down a bright vivid tunnel to the salvia world, even though it sounds scary i came out of the trip enlightened and a new perspective on fear and the universe as a whole

  • I swear Terrence Mckenna was my high school guidance counselor.

  • @ImTwixtorXD

    as we approach the singularity, an exponential event, shit will SUDDENLY get real.

  • @nickthegrizzly2

    five grams out to do you
