“Consciousness is not computational.” ― Roger Penrose, mathematician and theoretical physicist Join our monthly fellowship as we share metaphysical insights from the Divine on a variety of topics and current affairs. This month, Dimitri will explore the explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the spiritual perspective. The growing sophistication of modern computing power has given rise to much speculation both in terms of potential for society and what it means for intelligence itself. Some have gone on to say not only are these systems intelligent but potentially conscious and self-aware. Yet from the metaphysical perspective to have intelligence, you have to have life. Computers are not alive and never will be. So what is really happening here The advances in AI is not first a call for computers; it’s a call for us. It’s a call to raise the bar of our own intelligence. As a civilization, we have entered into an era of great spiritual opportunity. To succeed, we need to develop the greater powers of our own mind and elevate our consciousness to new heights. Rightly used, AI can be a wonderful tool to help strengthen the power of mind. Meditations with Divine Light, world prayers and music will be part of the fellowship. There has never been a better time to pursue your soul’s growth. We welcome you in the great spiritual adventure! Visit: Golden Chalice Fellowship – Is Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent ? Spiritual Arts Institute on Instagram and Facebook
