Antihero: Transgression to the point of singularity [1]. Anton Baranov, existential and humanistic psychologist, Jungian psychologist, member of the Russian Psychological Society, St. Petersburg. Transgression is the phenomenon of crossing an impassable border, primarily the border between possible and impossible.S.M. Kashtanova “Transgression as a socio-philosophical concept” 2016. Singularity is a point in space at which density tends to infinity and the usual laws of physics do not apply. Stephen Hawking “Brief answers to big questions” 2020. Introduction All materials and details of psychological work are provided with the permission of the client [2].Edward Edinger, in The Ego and the Archetype, says: “The hero represents the drive to individuate.” Jung, speaking about the hero archetype, described it this way: “such a model has a certain psychological significance for a person seeking to reveal and affirm his individuality,” and he also wrote that “the main purpose of the heroic myth is the development of individual self-awareness, that is, the awareness their strengths and weaknesses in order to prepare to overcome difficult life conflicts.” Neumann in the book “The Origin and Development of Consciousness” writes: “no matter how far the myth of the hero is from the image of the ideal person, it has become an integral part of the personal development of each individual.” This is the position of the hero from his solar point of view. But it’s also worth mentioning the shadow one. The shadow aspect in any case manifests itself in the engulfment and flooding of the Ego-consciousness by the archetype. The hero, in his futility, is insanely afraid of defeat and the need to give up and thereby suppresses his will. On the one hand, and on the other, he is a criminal who uses the Hero’s skill for personal gain. He is not concerned about morals, ethics or the interests of other people. The Shadow Hero forces you to sacrifice human principles: the hero will appear to insist on his own and defeat everyone. But here we are not talking about what happens to the hero in the life of my client, but about how the client realized the hero in himself. Not the kind of warlike image, not the kind of conqueror that was required of him all his life. The heroic act, the feat of the client was to remove the burden of a hero, give up the kingdom, victory over the dragon, treasures and not turn out to be a beautiful maiden. In the process of thinking and writing the report, I began to move away from the stated object of research and move into something other. I think I fell under the power of the transgression and singularity of this creative space. Even before the speech and publication of this text, my friend really wanted to read the report. And in the end, he persuaded me, and I sent him the still unformed text. He later said that in places he found himself in my client’s story and became immersed in his experiences. And then I realized that working with my client, presenting this case, is, in fact, my personal psychotherapy. Exposition of the film “Blade Runner 2049.” Humanity is beginning to deplete the natural resources on Earth. After the Final All-out War, the earth is left covered in debris and radioactive dust. Most of the Earth's population has flown to other planets. The remaining humanity is those who did not want to explore other planets and those who, for reasons of health and intelligence, are not suitable as colonists. The landscape of the world of Philip K. Dick is one of destroyed and dilapidated cities, deserted high-rise buildings and the sky is almost always covered with smog. With the development of interplanetary colony projects and the need for resettlement, human resources began to be in demand for terraforming other planets. Man himself, becoming more valuable than he was before the war and depletion of resources, felt his limitations and fragility in front of the tearing horizons of the future. He began creating robot assistants. Like any technology, it is always improved by humans; over time, robots began to be called replicants (androids), almost indistinguishable from a living person. “Replicants”- sterile genetically engineered androids - created for use in the exploration of new planets dangerous to humans. On Earth, some models are used in hazardous industries, and as servants, paid love. They are characterized by a lack of empathy and a short life span. New replicant models had brain malfunctions. This failure gave them self-awareness and the need to feel and be human. Therefore, such replicants gathered in organized groups, which had their own leader, and fled to Earth to live like other people. And that’s why android hunters appeared on earth at police stations. They are called blade runners. An exposition of the client's life. Artem was born in the early 90s into a complete family. Until the age of 12, he lived with his mother, father, brother and grandmother in his grandmother's house. Grandmother played the role of a nanny, teacher, and she provided the missing love and care that parents could not give because of work. Mom worked as a primary school teacher at school, dad was an engineer at a factory. My brother has always been an excellent student and always the pride of his parents and the ideal for Artem. Parents and grandmother compared Artyom with his brother at every opportunity. In the period up to the 6th grade, Artyom, under the influence of his intellectual parents and his excellent brother, was also a successful student. But even then he began to feel that he lived this life and made such efforts only so that his parents would be happy for him and praise him. A couple of years later, the Mercurian spirit began to seep into their village in the form of the Internet, computers, computer games and films that were not shown on television. Artyom’s mental reality began to quickly swell like the universe after the big bang. Answers to exciting and important questions began to be found, and all this coincided with the teenage years of the anxious and narcissistic Artem. Hatred and envy towards his brother began to grow more and more with every mention of him and comparison with Artem’s successes by his parents and grandmother. Resentment towards parents became more and more frequent. Anger because they live poorly, and even in an old house[3]. And parents had to work more and more to provide education and life for their children. And they had to sacrifice expressions of love and attention to children. Artem’s school years passed under the banner of protest. Until the 6th grade, Artem was a Hero for his parents. And now the Hero began to cast a shadow, into which Artyom began to sink more and more. Grades became lower, laziness and apathy appeared. In some lessons, Artem was defiantly silent when he was called to the board, and over time, the teachers came to terms with this behavior. Along with this Shadow Hero, that radiant image of the Hero as the personification of his brother did not disappear anywhere. And the gulf of impossibility of correspondence between them became enormous. Because of this, deep down, Artem began to increasingly feel that he was not ideal, which was reflected in hatred for himself, for his life and for his hobbies. To be himself for him meant to be not the way his parents want him to be. And in Artem’s understanding, self-love became a sign of equality to what was not encouraged in the family. In high school, anger and expressions of anger began to be suppressed, and Artem turned into a weak-willed young man who simply went with the flow of his parents' desires. Artem hated school in any of its manifestations[4]. And he showed his strength in manipulating his classmates. So he chose a university and paid training to become a lawyer. The family always admired lawyers, and Artem’s parents often remembered their successful relatives, thinking that this would motivate their son more. And this paid education began to put pressure on him with the responsibility that he took upon himself. He accepted his parents' wishes as his own and convinced himself of this. Jung wrote: “The divine hero, born as a man, is already in danger of being killed; he should not lay his head anywhere, and his death is a terrible tragedy.” And even from these words Jung feels the burden of the hero’s responsibility for his life. Artem is already abandoning her in the first months of his studies. In another city he quicklyfinds new friends with whom he can disappear from this difficult and unbearable reality with the help of alcohol, drugs, and casual sexual relationships. And every time after this in the evening, and sometimes even weeks of such mysteries, coming home to a rented apartment, Artyom recalled with disgust what had happened to him. But thoughts about that superhuman responsibility pushed him back into endless drunken evenings. Act 1. New model replicant Kay works for the Los Angeles police, outwardly a tall and handsome man of 30 years old. He hunts down and destroys androids that have returned to Earth illegally. Kay lives with a friend named Joy, an artificial intelligence with a holographic program. She talks to him, supports him after a hard day at work, gives him her smile and care. Carrying out his next official assignment, Kay arrives at the farmer. Kay discovers his true nature, the nature of a replicant. During their fight, the replicant farmer, turning to Kay, trying to appeal to him as a fellow tribesman, says that Kay is confused and he did not see the miracle. But Kay kills him, not understanding this nonsense and doing his job. When he was about to fly home, he notices familiar numbers on the tree. Date 6.10.21. After scanning the soil near this tree, he finds the buried remains of a woman who died in childbirth about 30 years ago. It is later revealed that this woman was a replicant. The police department, believing that such information will lead to a war between people and androids, orders Kay to find and kill this child. Period 1. Artem unknowingly comes to the conclusion that he must maintain the illusion of a Hero in the eyes of his parents and begins to lie to them that his studies are going well , he likes her and stuff like that. And leading such a double life, he increasingly begins to feel the emptiness and meaninglessness of life. Having lived separately from his parents, a feeling of adulthood arose in him. It was as if part of the initiation of growing up, separation from his home, gave Artyom the first feeling of the ego-core. But his situation with the university is still too difficult and unpleasant an experience to interact with in any way. Jung says that “the heaviest burden that is placed on the hero is himself.” Artyom himself decides to be a Hero, but deep down he is still a child who is on the verge of crying out to his mother for help. The discrepancy between his demands on himself and his inner feelings greatly breaks him. The moment comes when his parents find out that he dropped out of the university, and they put even more effort into their illusion of making Artyom’s life better within the walls of the law faculty. A new year of study at the university begins. Artem does not feel any benefit or need from the university. He does not feel support either from teachers, or from fellow students, or from friends. Somewhere in the depths, a living and warm darkness envelops him more and more. The world serpent, or more like the original Ouroboros, began to move, looking for its tail. However, in such a life, Artem learns to listen to his desires. He's like a baby learning to walk. It's awkward, but he does it. The ego begins to be more stable and true. On drunken evenings and not entirely legal work, Artem meets and communicates with different people and begins to play persona. And at the end of the school semester, he comes home and tells his parents that he doesn’t want to study and doesn’t know what to do now or what to do. Here Artem is shocked. His parents listen to him, invite him home, and feed him. No reproaches, no comparisons, no lamentations. Act 2. The only clue in the further investigation for Kay is the date 10/6/21, carved at the base of a withered tree trunk on the farm, under which the capsule with the remains was found. At the same time, Kay begins to be haunted by a memory from his childhood in an orphanage, where a child, running away from other children, hides a wooden horse with the same date. Knowing that he is a replicant, Kay believes the memory is artificial, while Joy convinces Kay that he is that child. While going through records in the archive, Kay learns about a pair of twins born on this day -a girl and a boy: the girl died while the boy was sent to a work shelter in the ruins of San Diego. When visiting the shelter, Kay fails to find any documents, but he finds a wooden horse exactly where it was hidden in his memories. Period 2. After revealing the whole truth to his parents, Artem simply lives at home. He does not work or study at any university. But he learns to be himself, he also trains to try on personas and look for fragments of his real self. The solar hero and his myth have awakened. The neurotic armor began to crack under the influence of the growing connection with the Hero and experiencing the variability of objective reality. During this period, he begins to get interested in programming, read specialized literature and express and share his own opinions. He decides to go to study again, but this time where he wants. His parents support his choice. And from this moment a new period of life begins anew. This time Artem is studying computer technology, never missing a single lesson and devoting himself completely to his studies. Now he is truly happy. In the first two years of study, he still hears and lives in the echoes of that drunken, desired and hated life. But when he meets a girl who has a goal in life and study, he clings to her, to her desires and energy. Artem transfers and modernizes the Hero of his parents into the Hero of his girlfriend. Parents also involuntarily continue to charge Hero Artyom, raising him high to the sun. He lives happily, but still carelessly. After graduating from university, they move to Moscow. The girl always wanted to live there, and Artem simply agreed to go with her. He did not have a clear attitude towards this trip and life in another city, life from scratch. But before boarding the train, Artyom felt a clear desire: “I don’t want to go anywhere.” But he decided to suppress this outrage for the sake of his girlfriend. He started looking for a job, but then he was faced with the fact that considering himself a highly qualified specialist, he was simply not needed in the places where he would like to work. And then Artem withdraws into himself, he stops trying to look for work, he waits for the girl to leave him, or for her to fail. Then they will be able to go back to their hometown, where everything is clear, predictable and safe. In Moscow, he begins to hate everything, his neighborhood, people on the street, cars under the window, and all the bustle of such a life. Anger towards the girl began to manifest itself through outbursts of resentment. Act 3. For answers about his memories, Kay turns to the developer of artificial memories for androids, who confirms that the memory is real - this convinces Kay that he is the same disappeared “miracle”. Kay says in a half-whisper: “I knew it, I always knew it.” And he puts his head in his hands. His reaction is ambivalent. Joy and awareness of one's destiny and destiny find a way out only through a cry and a flash of rage. Kay abandons his nature and believes that he is that same child hero. After a visit to her, Kay is detained and taken to the next aptitude test, which all replicant police officers must regularly take. Kay does not pass the test and his emotional state is considered unstable; he is deprived of his weapons and official documents. However, he informs his superiors that the order to find and kill the child has been completed. Period 3. Artem cannot admit that he is unnecessary. He begins to fight this within himself. Having endless imaginary conversations about how he would respond to these people who didn't hire him. Artem’s girlfriend and mother never stop talking about his uniqueness and intelligence. And they also belittle the dignity of the companies where they refused Artyom a job. A new wave of despondency overwhelms Artyom. During this period, the connection with the real image of the Self and the persona of the Hero that took possession of Artyom’s Ego is lost. Neumann writes: “A hero is an exceptional, superhuman or inhuman entity.” And the Ego exalts itself on the neurotic basis of the personality to the rays of the bright sun. Where the wax melts on the wings, I Artyom falls, breaking on the ground. Thenhe sees a therapist for psychological help in October. And he begins long-term therapy. After some time working with a therapist, Artem was able to understand the anxiety overwhelming him and take a calmer and broader look at himself and the place he occupies in the world. Artem decided to once again go for an interview in a very rich office center in Moscow. Such an Olympus, on which he could have his place, turned his head. And the Divine Hero began to flood the Ego again. Fantasies immediately appeared: about changing an apartment, buying a car. The affect of the force of the Great Flood appeared before the Ego as a bottomless happiness flooding the head. And as a result of the interview, Artem was humiliated as a person and a specialist. With one well-aimed blow, Artyom, young, inexperienced and unable to communicate with rich people, was thrown into the depths of Tartarus itself by a female HR manager. During this period of therapy there was a lot of aggression, anxiety was reborn with even more destructive fantasies and manifestations. Artem was on the verge of drug intervention in therapy. Act 4. A miracle, a child from a replicant, attracts the attention of a corporation that directly produces androids. A female replicant from the corporation begins to hunt Kay. In their fight, she almost kills Kay. But he will be saved by another female android. Kay is rescued by suddenly appearing members of the replicant freedom movement, who plan to use the found child as a symbol of their struggle. From her, Kay learns that the child was actually a girl, not a boy, and that Kay's memories of the horse are not his. He's just a regular production model. Having given up the illusion of his own chosenness, Kay slowly dies. Gaining freedom.Period. 4.And one fine day in early April, Artem once again told why he forces himself to starve or endure when he does not have his own money. And that his mother always wanted him to be different and even now sometimes she remembers being a lawyer. And he suddenly says: “So I’m not special at all,” followed by a long pause: “I’m not a hero.” These words were spoken in an indignant voice. And then he hangs his head down and cries. After a couple of minutes of crying and sobbing, when Artem had already calmed down, the therapist asked him: “Is this grief and resentment?” He replied: “No, this is joy.” Now I can breathe freely. The Alien Hero in Artyom died. The hero is dead, long live the hero. Artem has transgressed beyond the boundaries of the world where he was used to living and lived all his life. He crossed the border between the possible and the impossible. He found himself at the point of singularity, where the Hero and his Shadow, with whom he lived and could use the skills of light and darkness, no longer work according to the usual archetypal motives. He chose his transcendence in asserting himself not as a hero, not as special, but as ordinary. About which no one will ever make a film, or write a book, or even deign to be an extra. The feeling of freedom and happiness that Artem felt was so strong that the therapist could not hold back tears of happiness, empathizing with Artem. Conclusion This is probably the beginning of the ascent of the Ego-Self axis. And Artyom’s personal story is just beginning. The heroic act, the feat of the client was to remove the burden of a hero, give up the kingdom, victory over the dragon, treasures in the cave and not get a beautiful maiden. He could not have achieved these things and attributes, and he did not need them. He discovered that he could now find his own strengths, places and values, where he would become a hero. Stephen Hawking was once asked: “What threatens a space traveler by falling into a black hole?” Hawking replied: “If this is a supermassive black hole, it will pass through the [event] horizon without any problems, but at the singularity it will be squeezed out of existence.” And so it happened, Artem wandered through the endless space, among the cold and the described burning luminaries, but found a way out, where they never return. And that’s good, here he was not in his universe. Bibliography Carl G. Jung “Man and His Symbols” 2020. S. M. Kashtanova “Transgression=80112
