This is my legacy. Welcome to this week's bonus drop. Today, more from our interview with Deepak Chopra, a leading pioneer in mind body medicine. He offers a surprising take on how artificial intelligence might accelerate, not replace, human consciousness. Let's jump right in.
Fact, you speak eloquently about consciousness and the awareness of consciousness and conscious awareness. For our listeners who perhaps this is relatively new to them, what are some one or two things they can do to bring consciousness more actively into their lives.
Be present to now. Now is the only moment that never ends. So now is the timeless spirit in the time mound, body, mind and world experience. The spirit is not in time, it's now, and the point of arrival is always now. So when you get to the future where you want to be so that you can be happy, it will be now. And if you're not now now, you won't be now then. So if you can focus on what is, then you're present and spirit is present.
Also same word awareness, Spirit, the divine, the incomprehensible. You know what the great physicist Freeman Dyson, he said, God is what mind becomes when it goes beyond the threshold of our comprehension. We surrender there is it's a mystery. You will never comprehend it, and it is incomprehensible. But without it, there's no comprehension of anything. So you know, the divine is present in every experience. Focus on the divine and then everything follows. And don't try to figure
it out because that's my craziness. I'm always trying to figure it out. Okay, if you try and figure it out, you will reel with bewilderment. Roomy exchange your cleverness for bewildered. So if you're bewildered and astonished, that's presence, that's spirit to pack.
Your latest book is Digital Dharma that explores the connection between AI and consciousness. And many people are afraid that AI is going to further disconnect us, but in fact you talk about how AI can help deepen our spiritual and emotional growth. Can you help us understand?
You know, when we were kids, we say, you know, every kid asked the parents where did I come from? And the parents said God made you? Right. Then you say, where did God come from? And then you don't know what to say. You say, we play with your toy. Shut up. You don't know the answer. So I said, you know, now that we have digital technology, why don't we tap into the minds of the greatest teachers. I can now tap into the mind of Jesus. Okay, through AI,
explain to me the sermon on the Mount. Okay, why does Jesus say, treat your enemies as yourself? And the answer is your enemy is yourself in another uniform with another conditioning, another cultural conditioning, whatever, economic conditioning, not the skin color, but it's the same infinite source. So I can now do that with digital technologies. What did Plato have to say about it? What did Chaupenair have to say? What did the stages of the Upnishads have to say
about it? So the book I wrote is about four things. Number one, how to use AI as a health coach. Now, help me sleep, help me regulate my immune system, help me with this nutrition. So health coach both mental and physical research assistant. It a way to reflect self reflection as a personal guide for self reflection. You know, if I say, am I a body? Am I mind? Am I a spirit? Give me reasons? Why not the body because the body is constantly changing? Give me the reasons.
What did the great luminaries of humanity think about it? How did they think about the mind? How did they think about the spirits? So it's a health coach, it's a spiritual guide, it's a research assistant, and it's actually now what I've done is with my own AI, which is the porkshopa dot AI. I decided, you know, even in meditation, people have different needs. I want a meditation for sleep, I want a meditation for relationships. I want a meditation for feeling strong in the morning. I want
a meditation for making me choose the right foods. And the AI will look at my database of meditations and create a new meditation for you, which I didn't create in the past, but it will take all my stuff and then it'll consult all the meditation experts, not from now, from Jesus onwards, or even before to now, you know, so you can tap into the minds of Moses or
Jesus or Einstein or Roomy, whoever you want. Now, with large language models, we've gone beyond that because you have the language of biology, language of mathematics, the language of physics, the language of religion, the language of spirituality, the language of the great scriptures. Without being conscious, AI is super intelligent, but it's not conscious because conscious is a much deeper or Spirit is not an algorithm. In fact, spirit is
the absence of all algorithms. When you take away all algorithms, then you touch the divine, incomprehensible, so deepaking Gabriella.
