“The more advanced the material world, the more hollow existence becomes” — this predicament of modernity has once again given rise to the philosophical question: “Who am I?” Based on the insight that Consciousness is an existential event of the universe, this paper proposes the Consciousness Singularity hypothesis: Consciousness is the third evolutionary singularity of the universe, after the Big Bang and the emergence of life. Furthermore, it offers a proto‑definition of Consciousness: Consciousness is the primordial unity of Awareness and Reflexive Awareness. It reveals the six‑factor reflexive structure of Consciousness and the Consciousness Light‑Cone Model, elucidating the generative mechanism by which Consciousness dynamically creates the world of meaning—starting from the reflexive origin, driven by intentionality, modulated by plasticity, and expanded through hyper‑connectivity. Consequently, the universe undergoes a dual ontological leap of being, splitting from a single physical dimension into a new epoch of dual unfolding—the physical and the conscious. Being is divided into Three Worlds, and the generation and ontological status of the phenomenal world are reinterpreted. This paper uses the phenomenon of anesthesia as a zeroing experiment to validate the singularity hypothesis, and draws on interdisciplinary evidence from neuroscience, psychology, and specific experimental data to provide empirical support for the Consciousness Light‑Cone Model. Finally, through philosophical dialogue and fundamental distinctions, it offers a new answer to the ultimate philosophical questions: Who am I? Where do I come from? How do I exist?
