I have been listening to all of the latest predictions about Artificial Intelligence and how it’s going to change our lives.Everything from how it will eventually take your job and end your career, to the ability to offer you a private therapy session with Carl Jung. On top of that, the advancements in medicine are going to be massive. For example, you’ll be able to take a simple blood test to detect the first signs of cancer. That’s amazing!But I’m skeptical of the application of this shiny new AI tool to the entire spectrum of medicine and how it will further shift the cultural perceptions of health.Specifically, how this will relate to addiction? Will AI:Diminish or remove personal responsibility?Eliminate desire for overcoming “character defects”?Reduce the options for transforming trauma from a painful open wound into a wisdom-filled and experiential-informed scar?And what of the role of spirit in all of this?“…but it seems to me that AI has been developed by people who don’t understand things like compassion and random acts of kindness and these sorts of things. It seems like it’s entirely transactional and the AI lacks a spirit. I don’t care what they say. What is missing from AI? There’s no spirit to it.”Dennis McKenna from the Brain Forest Cafe podcast with Paul StametsWhat does spirit do?Transforms through surrenderProvides something bigger worthy to surrender toInfuses the magic of healing that manifests as a new and never-before-seen, product of co-creation with usNot a compilation from AI’s algorithm of past human inputFrom the Program’s Lesson #18: The Power of SurrenderWhich Wolf do you feed?Who are you in relationship with?From the Program’s Lesson #16: The Story of the Two WolvesPart 2:Today is the Islamic Feast of the SacrificeSynchronicity with my son’s tattoo text3 different religions, 3 different holidays, 3 different takes on the Old Testament story of AbrahamI’m not too keen of The Story and here’s why:Sacrifice can be transactional and focused upon the rewardWith GodWith religionWithin our own beliefsSo, here’s another take:What if…Sacrifice was its own reward?What would this look like and what’s the point?As always, send me any questions you have and let me know your thoughts on this one.With blessings,Randal
