AI & Spiritual Life | by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
[note: didn’t read article.. hip ness]
“Today a growing number of people are using AI for spiritual guidance, and there are even AI spiritual guru avatars, providing personalized on-demand meditations, counsel, and self-initiation or spiritual blessings. The question we need to ask is, do AI and spiritual growth really have common ground, or is this another illusion distracting us from inner life and real change?
the distraction is.. thinking ai/tech can only be used for intelligence ness.. rather than for nonjudgmental expo labeling
AI works by learning patterns from vast amounts of data, largely sourced from the internet, *to make predictions or generate content. It **belongs to the mental/informational plane of consciousness and comes from an accumulation of past thoughts/ideas/images/patterns, to which it can give us access. ***It can organize these thoughts, rearrange them, and appear to give us insight, but it always comes from the past.
*but we don’t need ai for this.. what we need ai for is 1\ tech w/o judgment 2\ the fast/slow ness of exponentiate ness
again.. thinking we have to predict.. make content.. et al.. is part of the distraction.. ie: intellectness as cancerous distraction
**but it can also give us access (that we can’t seem to get to because we keep judging everythig/one) to itch-8b-the-souls first thing everyday.. as a means of global detox
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil that seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
***because we keep organizing/rearranging nonlegit data (ie: data from whales in sea world).. we need to try self-talk as data via idiosyncratic jargon via tech as nonjudgmental expo labeling.. \ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
Spiritual life, however, is about going beyond the mind and its constant stream of thoughts, either into a state of pure awareness, the now, or into the divine love that can be experienced through the heart.“
and for that we need to trust what is already on each heart
and for that we need to try the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
