The Singularity Trap:
AI, Immortality, and the Loss of the Soul

Over the next 7 to 10 years, the world is undergoing exponential changes.

AI experts and influential tech giants such as Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, and others predict the end of scarcity. 

According to them, AI and robots will satisfy all human needs and desires, leading to an abundance of goods, services, and experiences.

They acknowledge that this will be an extremely disruptive shift. It may include social unrest, civil war, and possibly even a global war.

The economic and financial structures will need to break down before a new system can be fully implemented. 

A struggle for power is inevitable.

By 2030, AGI is projected to exceed the collective intelligence of all humans, self-improving by 10x annually. 

This is described as the advent of the singularity.

Most white-collar and blue-collar jobs are expected to be replaced by AI and humanoid robots.

Elon Musk has suggested that a key function of universal basic income would be preventing civil unrest, as billions of people could find themselves out of work.

But “free” anything is a dangling carrot.

It is how humans can become trapped through the occult law of agreement, giving non-physical forces easy access to their human stock to keep them compliant and in line.

One cannot help but wonder what kind of powerful Asuric, Ahrimanic, or Soratic entities may be operating behind the scenes, using their human Big Tech vessels as instruments.

According to these Big Tech giants, human lifespans could double within a decade, as death becomes framed as a solvable engineering problem rather than a biological necessity.

Google co-founder and Alphabet president Sergey Brin has said, “I have no intention of dying,” a sentiment similar to Bryan Johnson's, who created a brand for his immortality project.

Many Silicon Valley elites have invested heavily in longevity and immortality research.

In a recent podcast, Elon Musk stated that "humans are a transitional species, a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence."

You may believe this is ultimately a good thing. 

The end of scarcity. Prosperity for everyone. Free knowledge and labor. Medical breakthroughs. Extended lifespans.

It may be, and I’m not approaching this from an oversimplified good-or-bad perspective. I'm not anti-technology or anti-AI. 

In fact, I believe that rejecting technology completely in a knee-jerk reaction or clinging to a nostalgic past is not the solution.

But the most important aspect is completely missing from these discussions among Big Tech AI leaders: our spiritual nature, the soul, and the Divine.

Yes, they talk about consciousness and describe reality as a “simulation,” but they interpret it through a low level of materialistic consciousness.

What we are witnessing is the emergence of a new world religion: the religion of transhumanism.

Transhumanism grows out of an extreme materialistic worldview at the end of this dark age.

Aimed at overcoming physical limits, aging, and death, it seeks to engineer a more efficient human-machine being, one in which the soul, spirit, and the Divine have no place.

It is no surprise that the next 10 years coincide with the end phase of the Fourth Turning and the Kali Yuga

This will initiate a prolonged purification phase (called Epkyrosis), which even the Transhumists will have no control over, because nothing and no one can override Divine Will. 

The transhumanist vision of a Golden Age may instead give rise to a dystopian nightmare that entraps the soul.

Longevity and physical biological “immortality” become a nightmare when they are not grounded in conscious spiritual evolution through psycho-spiritual work, the spiritualization of the body, and self-offering to the Divine.

As a result, the splitting of humanity will intensify.

The majority will be tempted to embrace the path of digitization, while others will answer the Divine call to spiritualize their nature. 

This is the only true path toward immortality, not as a techno-biological achievement, but as the bringing forth of what is already immortal and eternal within: the Divine seed of the Self.

The blind spot of the transhumanist is the belief that he is in control of everything, the unquestioned master of physical and biological reality.

But this is an illusion and a dead end.

Anything that is not in alignment with Dharma will perish.

The Transhumanist utopia will eventually crumble, as Atlantis once did, until humanity heeds the voice of the Divine and aligns with the next cycle in the evolution of consciousness.

There is much more to be said about this topic in the context of spiritual warfare, the hyperdimensional matrix, non-human and non-physical forces, soul-snatching, and what could be described as an alien invasion through our bodies.

Soul embodiment is key.

Without it, many will become trapped in what Rudolf Steiner called the 8th sphere, a sub-natural realm of technological and material consciousness where the human soul becomes severed from its divine source and evolutionary path, taking a prolonged detour.

This requires a more in-depth exploration, which I will address in an upcoming article. 

Stay tuned.

Godspeed.
