It differs from the omega point, and technological singularity theories substantially because it does not imply an imaginary point of emergence in the future. Instead, the consciousness singularity can be described as a neuroscientific model of the classical Asian vitalist description of spiritual awakening or enlightenment, in both conventional and Tantric versions of meditation theory. The actual transition to a legitimate hypothesis of enlightenment as the union of physical, subtle and super subtle structures of the human body will be gradual. The scientific establishment will not leap to acknowledge the reality of the Dharmakaya super subtle body, which has been known as the shengtai or embryo of enlightenment in China for thousands of years as the goal of meditation.
