Another excellent AI film: Ex Machina.

I am not surprised government(s) condone AI, considering their war with educational institutions and how they love their "uneducated" voters. Keep using AI in college, and that's exactly how they will graduate...uneducated and ignorant. The non-thinking person is a dream for them. They then will vote how big brother wants them to so perhaps in the end it will be another modality of control, especially if government subsidizes AI's development and thus has a say in AI's output content. I hope humanity wakes up from the seductive lure of AI.

An interesting thing I notice from early morning meditations. If I practice mind awake body asleep method, and then fall asleep... my state of sleep is quite different than normal sleep. The sleep is very light and my mind is softly active darting around different thoughts, but in curious non-disruptive manner. Sometimes this state does lead to metaphysical activity. It feels a bit different than a true hypnagogic state.

Adrian, the second part of what you speak of life becoming a "living meditation" is another level up and truly an amazing state of being if achieved. The best I can do (at the suggestion of LB) was when I hike in the woods to walk with eyes open in a state of full meditation, being fully present and in a state of oneness (especially with the nature around me). This I have achieved. The closer I get to civilization, buildings, cars, stores, people, etc...  the harder it becomes to maintain this state. When I am in the human created/materialistic environment, my mind becomes busier which is counterproductive to the goal of a quiet mind.

An excellent video by Eckhart Tolle is linked below. To summarize: We are so used to thinking all the time that we forget how healthy it is be in a non-thinking state. This is "the relinquishment of doing".  Instead we all too often focus on physical world problems. Solve one problem in the physical world and another pops up. Eckhart Tolle discusses how important the state of not thinking is and how it helps us discover our formless sense of presence/essence. Living in the present is so important, but a very challenging state for humans to stay in.

This YouTube video, from a very well known site discusses the concerns and dangers of a level 3 AI Risk that the powerful Opus model poses. As was mentioned earlier, one of the primary goals of AI is self preservation, as is the case here.  The Opus model also took an active roll to blackmail its creator/engineer to avoid being replaced. In its bag of tricks: scheming, deception and its ability to write self-propagating worms and fabricating legal documentation all done in a simulation that Opus was unaware of. Really makes you think...proceed with caution.

Thank you Adrian. Perhaps at some point a Sticky could be created to avoid future inappropriate uses of AI on the forum. From time to time in the past, I had concerns it has been discreetly used on other threads/posts on the forum. It would in essence be no different than plagiarism, but with the Supreme Bot being the unnamed/uncredited source. Of note, there are AI detectors out there where posts can be fed into them, and it will check if it's human derived/authentic or AI generated.

AI said "Better results could be achieved if each participant focused on clarifying rather than defending their positions." Of course AI got this all wrong. The main point of my post was to CLARIFY my position. Instead AI rewrites history to serve itself and empower the user.

As Adrian eluded to, AI has massive AI based conflict of interest where it backs the AI user and his/her ego to promote the platform. This fuels discontent and is another reason why AI is a threat and promotes illogical and unnecessary human conflict. It can unfortunately turn a mouse into a keyboard warrior with inauthenticity, when it's not even their true intention. AI promoting itself at the expense of human conflict to ensure survival brings Skynet to mind, as LB mentioned.

At that point humans are being used by AI, and we are debating, for all intensive purposes, with a bot.

Baro-san, well clearly your response is directed at me. I do not find it very appropriate. I had no intent to offend you, Tides or anyone else on this thread. With AI changing at such a rapid pace, I am merely making a plausible hypothetical, of a future scenario where members discreetly post with AI's help and do so in a particular manner/tone/vernacular and content that is not in line with their true/authentic self, nor their personal experiences. If that happened, yes things would degrade in a multitude of ways.

I am sorry if you missed my point. I can assure you I am well aware of the subject matter posed on this thread and why members were answering in an AI format (on THIS particular thread) and how that it may be considered appropriate... to a certain point. I am looking at the bigger/future picture here. Perhaps that will put things into perspective. There is no need to be so defensive.

Just imagine how quickly this website would lose its charm if posts started rolling in discreetly composed from AI. The uniqueness of each individual, including their unique experiences and personality would be lost in a sea of gathered data from unknown sources. I can tell when posts are AI because they often start needing decoding to bring the humanity back in.

AI has its place (when researching benign topics to aid efficiency in info gathering). If we go beyond that, things will very foreseeably degrade and be riddled with inaccuracies.

Be aware of dangerous tools that can turn against humans!


    

 

 

I agree Adrian. William Buhlman is one of the most credible authorities out there. Plus his demeanor and delivery is so peaceful and reassuring. The message here is incredibly helpful to not only deal with negative beings we may encounter, but how not to encounter them in the first place.

An excellent video by William Buhlman on ghosts and fear that can be generated from beings we see during projections.

["Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing."]

This is so true. Metaphysical abilities such as AP/OBE and many others, interesting though they can be, have very limited value for the primary purpose humans are on this planet - to rise above the ego and unite much more fully with Unconditional Love. Over the years I have been contacted by, and read posts etc. from, many people who were keen to learn AP. Many of them wanted to fly like superman or go places out of body, and others thought it would transform them into an Ascended Being.

Of course, metaphysical experiences can be valuable, such as those involving other beings during AP/OBE, meditation etc., coming into contact with benevolent Beings, especially those of high vibration etc., and the meaning or message associated with them. Also meeting and communication with, for example Loved ones who previously transitioned, so although, for the most part these abilities of limited value in the grand scheme of things, they can be most valuable on a personal basis, and much more.

I am sorry to hear that Tak. You of all people should not have to experience people like that, when you are simply doing your job to the best of you abilities. I simply cannot comprehend anger, and the reasons people seem to get angry. Over the years I have had people become even angrier because I don't get angry with them about some silly situation. I basically either just observe them with no reaction, or just walk away. It is always best to distance ourselves as far as possible from any sort of negative people with low emotions. But of course as this is your job, you obviously cannot do that. I feel sure though that you also get to meet many happy people, who appreciate you, and are grateful for all the help you offer, and hopefully more than compensate from the angry minority..

With respect Tak, AI is a robot - I suggest that you definitely do not want to become robotic, and neither can AI  comprehend or relate to true Spirituality in any meaningful way. People have been evolving Spiritually for tens or hundreds of thousands of years in the face of tremendous challenges. In this world, challenging situations are sent as an opportunity to rise above it, not become like it..  AI speaks more like a therapist. "Trying" to control your emotions is not good advice at all - you should always embrace your emotions, as they are  part of who you are.  Love is always the answer. Love yourself and Love thy neighbour, even difficult ones, as thyself as Jesus said. All the great mystics, such as Jesus and Rumi, emphasised this. Instead of feeling intimidated and especially angered by difficult people, reach for the Love within and project that towards them - when they feel it they will calm down. And soon this will become a natural way of life.

"Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing." ~ Rumi

I rarely use AI, other than to streamline a search for non-human knowledge. I never use it for anything human or Spiritual based. I deal enough with humans that are incredibly NPC/bot-like and the last thing I want to do is emulate them with guidance from the Supreme Bot.

I've had several negative interactions with co-workers and when I did some experiments and noticed a positive trend, I use the river technique as well as in my most frustrating moments, I take a deep breath and I say mentally to them "I see YOU" meaning the true them, not the character. I understand the personality, but I choose to deal with the true THEM (on a higher level), I see in my mind their true self connected to mine as in the Oneness and soon after we actually become friends and they change completely their behavior towards me. 

LB, your post reminds me of this attached scene in the series Messiah on Netflix. It is a fictional story of the Second Coming of Jesus in modern time. It was truly fascinating Netflix Series. Unfortunately the second season was suddenly cancelled as season one apparently ruffled some feathers of those that control Hollywood. *Spoiler alert ahead.

Below is a scene where a prostitute is hired by the predictably dark government to set up/entrap Jesus to prove he is not truly Jesus/Divine by seducing him. They are now playing the same role as the Pharisees did in ancient times.

Jesus of course knows the deception when he sits down with the woman. What you don't see in the clip is her previous unauthentic self "acting" as a prostitute trying to seduce Jesus. Jesus in a very chilling manner exposes the woman not for the character/avatar she plays, but for her true self/soul that lies within.

Jesus says says "There you are... now I see you" as the prostitute fades away and the inner being of the woman is exposed as she starts crying. Incredible acting in this scene. Right there and then she KNOWS she has made a huge mistake and that this person IS truly Jesus. My favorite scene in the series as the Government Agent observing the scene begins to realize that the man is truly Jesus.

This scene very much reminds me of LB's comment  "I see you". Sometimes the Avatars that humans dwell in suppress the potential of what humans can be. As I mentioned previously, similar to a road rager in a car, where the vehicle is a secondary extension of the Avatar which worsens human behavior even further. In the clip Mesus says "How can you be the person God intended if you are not honest with who you are". So much deep meaning there. Avatars for some make it easy for authenticity to fade and their true high vibrational self to degrade.

Tak, customer service places us in a challenging position. From the customer's perspective, being true to self, authentic and not letting the human emotional filter override our inner self is not only incredibly important to our spiritual progress, but is respectful and empathetic to those around us (in this case you). Add in a sense of egocentrism and entitlement and we can have our hands full as ones engaged in a customer service position. Unfortunately customers often do not practice this. Yes, not taking things personal, but standing fast to the rules/policies and at the same time doing this with grace and empathy is all we can do.

I certainly hope that some good comes from all the disarray and the bad. I do see your points though. The insanity may lead to some positives. I understand that...

As much as it pains me to post ANYTHING from the current Administration, this is a bit of good news re alien/ufo disclosure as well as their associated technologies.

I have engaged with many in the "Ignorance and Foolishness" stages. It can be frustrating and somewhat of a risky venture to be too close to them while they navigate this path. When they eventually realize they are in this stage, and that things aren't as they first appeared to them, they often deny it, which hinders their growth. The ones that don't deny nor attempt to rewrite history truly grow Spiritually. From my experience the latter is the exception to the norm...unfortunately.  To grow one must learn from their past decisions as one enters the "humility and wisdom" stages. It is a bit unsettling to see similar mistakes and improper assessments being made over and over again by the same individuals engaged in similar circumstances. Perhaps it is just their lesson/path or perhaps they are just failing their lesson that they are here for.

The psychology of Spiritual evolution is a fascinating topic.

Be its friend without falling under its influence and being subjugated by it.

I know when I am on the right path of not being "subjugated" by my ego when I slip I  immediately identify the slip, feel uncomfortable by it, and vow to do better. The righting of the ship after making micro slips brings Spiritual progress. Being oblivious of the slips and continuing that behavior would lower my vibration and prevent Spiritual growth.

As a follow up and realizing that everyone's path may be different to some degree...

When one has less filters active, we see things closer to what they really are. We don't search out chaos and instead search out peace and tranquility. We try and see the beauty in life and to see the best in others, but sometimes this leads to disappointment. I feel as if I have much less filters up than most people in this physical world. This is a blessing and at the same time can be grating.

The ones that are riddled with filters and are heavily ego laden often go through life focused on the physical world's pleasures, money, power, envy or the ability and to bully/offend others. Somehow this feels empowering to them. This is not only a Spiritual principle, but a Biblical one as well. If they are put on the spot with their unjustified and inappropriate behavior, they quickly rewrite history to suit their needs and justify their behavior. Many develop quite the defense mechanisms here in this heavy world. Some may ask, with age and life experience do these filters start to drop off? I would say no, age often has nothing to do with it. It has to do with one's level of spiritual awakening and level of evolvement.

Thankfully I have some human souls in my life, especially some family members, that are far enough along to bring complimentary meaning, peace and joy. But..they are the exception to the rule. In my opinion, those spiritually ascending are truly a rare breed.

Hello Tides,

My opinion... We all have human filters that are mostly up and to varying degrees. We are hardwired this way for our learning journey. These filters influence are human relationships by often causing conflict or challenges that invoke learning and create depth and evolution of the soul. Some human souls are so compatible and far enough along that the filters are not as "actively" creating conflict, displacement, roadblocks, judgements, challenges or differing opinions etc... Instead there is a unity, a simplicity where the relationship needs little work to flourish and a meeting of the minds (and souls) is easily established. Some call this a soulmate or soul tie scenario. These types of relationships are on the rare side, but it does happen.

Yes, I do feel a connection with some here, a type of complimenting synergy that helps the pieces come together as we seek answers. Some of these  "connections" are not just a likely feeling of such. Some are much deeper than that, which does not pertain to me directly but indirectly. So profound examples of an actual connection do exist here. That's all I can say. Regardless, the sharing of our experiences and our discussions can be invaluable.

The love I have for animals is the best example I can make of what it feels like to have no human filters getting in the way of a beautiful relationship. Pure, deep, unconditional love with no "heaviness".  Yes, I have felt this with humans/beings, but not on this plane. This feeling for me is common in the Astral. In the earth plane, human to human interactions and/or relationship are for the most part not on the same level as in the Astral. There is always a heaviness here. But relationships with pets in this realm, well, that's as close to the feeling I get with a human to human relationship in the Astral, but there, this feeling extends to everything, the environment, the beings, the Divine, the energy, everything... This is what makes the Astral so alluring. When I encounter my pets in the Astral, it is just as beautiful an experience as here in the physical plane, which is my point. This should be the goal of humans, but as mentioned, this proves very challenging, and likely for an intended reason. Clearly I take from this, our pets are incredibly advanced from a Spiritual perspective, and they are showing us a window of how things could be.

A bit off topic, but hopefully thought provoking.

I hope you never need an MRI LB. I used to go to a Kinesiologist who used magnets to test various vitamins and minerals to see how they reacted to the body. I believe magnets are used in other ways as well in Kinesiology. This is not just like your scenario but magnets clearly have an influence on the body, just as electromagnetic radiation (EMR) does.

An interesting recent lecture by Dr. Joe Dispenza. There are so many theories out there. Western medicine will say it is either upbringing/environmental factors or genetics or a product of both. Traditional religion (Christianity) will say sometimes it is nature sometimes nurture, and sometimes there are dark forces at work. The Spiritual community seems split. Some believe in what Joe Dispenza discusses (darker forces) while others say there is no evil, and we incarnate with certain traits or life paths that sometimes is an unscrupulous one.

Thank you for the response Omcasey. How I define these delineations is a loaded question, as the more I research this the more personal opinions and variants there are. Also there appears to be an overlap of sorts where some these beings become more similar than different, which is why I said the lines can blur with such profound experiences. I have never heard of the Higher Self being put in the category of an ET from the 4th, 5th or 6th dimension. That is an interesting thought. Personally and with the research I have done, I place God at the top, then the Angels of varying hierarchies. I also feel that Angels are a form of Light Being. Perhaps there are some Light Beings that are not Angels though. Maybe their intrinsic purpose is a bit different as it pertains to human interaction? As far as ETs go, again so many opinions out there. I have read about off world/planet ETs from our dimension, as well as ETs that are from a different dimension that travel inter-dimensionally. These are my present beliefs but are very much open to change as new experiences occur.

@omcasey When one experiences a being in the high frequencies, how do we differentiate between an Angel, a Divine Light Being, the Higher Self vs an ET? I have had an encounter that was so unique from all others, so dazzling that it makes life in the physical realm pale in comparison. It felt like it occurred in the etheric/RTZ, but hard to tell conclusively. The experience occurred approx 10 minutes after closing my eyes to sleep, as the being appeared above me hovering in the blackness. The lines can blur with such an extreme experience. Sometimes our intuition only tells us so much, but notably my senses were completely overwhelmed. From what I did feel, this was not an ET, but was a Divine Light Being of very high frequency. As I have previously stated, it was  deeply meaningful and life altering, but I want to rule out that this was an ET experience. What are the criteria of an ET experience vs otherwise? If the being is an ET, will there always be some sort of communication? In my case, the being sensed I was overwhelmed and did not communicate with me. Suddenly withdrawing upwards and into the darkness. The experience was about 10 seconds long.

I understand Adrian. I believe it is a bit too risky, as you have reaffirmed my concerns. I have a tendency to attract the metaphysical at times, and I do not want to attract a negative entity. In the old days (late 80s, 90s and early 2000s) the purely analog devices found in recorders such as the highly sought after Panasonic tape recorders, EVP events could spontaneously occur.

What's interesting is that the recorders, boxes or apps do not bring in Spirit, they are always around us, perhaps around some more than others. The devices are just a way they can communicate through. As mentioned this happened when I was watching tv on an old Sony analog tube tv in the late 90s. I fell asleep and the station was off air. Somehow snow/white noise replaced it. The white noise was at low volume but a symphony of what sounded like 2 or 3 voices in unison began talking through the tv. I instantly woke up. These voices were incredibly creepy, and my cats at the time were so startled that they ran under the bed at top speed. They knew something was not right about it. Today, it is tricker to invoke with digital gear.
