“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

Before Hollywood discovered Comic-Con, the one studio you could always count on finding at the pop culture convention was the iconoclastic Troma.

TOKiMONSTA has had her share of life challenges, including being unable to speak or comprehend music, and the death of a friend. Her new album, Eternal Reverie, pays homage to friend, Regina Biondo.

The New York Times praised the “silky-voiced rising star” for “helping jazz take a youthful turn” while NPR All Things Considered named her a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.” In February 2023, Samara Joy took home two GRAMMYs – Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award. With her Grammy Award-Winning Verve Records debut, Linger Awhile, 23-year-old Bronx native Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable label. Her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King, appearances on the TODAY Show, The Tonight Show w/Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show w/Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, MSNBC, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Drew Barrymore, etc., in addition to millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star. On Linger Awhile, Samara introduces that massive audience to a slew of classic standards several times older than she is through her timeless, irresistible sound.
