Dreaming, out-of-body experience, near-death experience, entheogen and other visionary experiences, and death may all involve crossing an event horizon where one travels inter-dimensionally into unexpected timelines and states where we experience a transformation of core human attributes such as time perception, self vs. other, and sex/Eros. Event horizons may seem apocalyptic to the ego, which is trying to reinforce identity and stabilize the accustomed waking life. But what seems catastrophic to the ego may also be a quantum jump in personal or collective evolution.

Sometimes, crossing the event horizon means that one has experienced, or is about to experience, a shock, a life-changing event that will transform key aspects of your life. Human incarnation begins with crossing an event horizon (birth) and ends with the event horizon of death. Between those all-encompassing event horizons, there are more ordinary-life-scaled ones — such as first-time experiences of sex or a major hallucinogen, the passing of someone close, leaving the parental home, relocating to a different part of the country or world, and so forth.

This card challenges you to accept and go with your journey across event horizons. What seems like a catastrophic emergency to the ego might be a transcendent emergence.
