Human identity is shifting from fixed, essentialist notions to fluid, constructed forms, especially in digital environments. This paper argues that this change stems from a transformation in how people experience transcendence. Using Phenomenological Pluralism, it distinguishes between Personal Experiences of the Divine, which generate relational communion and existential integration, and Pseudo-Transcendent Experiences, which rely on stimulation and produce temporary fulfillment. In digitally mediated contexts, stimulation increasingly replaces communion, fragmenting the self and driving cycles of identity experimentation. This condition, called phenomenological fatigue, suggests the crisis of identity in late modernity is fundamentally experiential, rooted in the displacement of communion by stimulation.
The text explores the convergence of ancient religious beliefs—such as astral projection, possession, and reincarnation—with modern neurotechnology that may enable transferring human consciousness to a synthetic body. It argues that what was once considered spiritual or not materially real is now becoming a plausible technological possibility, driven by advances in artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces. The authors propose that these developments could foster a holistic understanding of consciousness, merging religious and neuroscientific perspectives. They suggest that if eternal life through synthetic embodiment were possible, it could benefit the world, though they leave room for further investigation.
