gender bus, which has a racial bus, even a scientific bus.

and your kindness, your generosity. Your support over the years has been incredible, So thank you from the bottom of line.

mission intersected? Why have those two things, spirituality and an AI intersectively.

the universe made of? And you would, so we know what the universe is made of, its atoms, molecules, force fields, gravity, etc. Well, for those who don't keep up with the science, seventy percent of the universe is a mysterious entity called dark energy, and we have no idea what it is. It's a force that's the opposite of gravity. So as we are speaking right now, the space between galaxies is moving faster than the speed of light, something called the cosmological constant,

described by Einstein. And then after he's described it, she said it's an embarrassment. I didn't mean it, or something like that, but he was actually right. There is some entity that is expanding the universe faster than the speed of light. We don't know what it is except it's the opposite of gravity. So that leaves thirty of the universe, which is basically remaining. Of that, twenty seven percent is another mysterious entity called dark matter. The reason it's called

dark matter it's invisible. Matter is normally things like this or your body or this piece of furniture. You can see it, you can touch it, matter material, but dark matter is invisible, so it's you can't see it. So what do we call it? Matter. It's responsible for most of the gravity in the universe. So if you didn't have dark matter, planets would spiral off and disappear into intergalactic space. You and I wouldn't be here. So now we have three percent of the universe that remains, which

is the atomic universe. All of that ninety nine point nine nine nine percent is invisible interstellar dust. We don't know what it is. We think it is hydrogen helium created at the Big Bang. So now we're left with two trillion galaxies, two trillion galaxies, seven hundred six tillion stars, and uncountable trillions of planets. According to the James Web Telescope, maybe sixty billion habitable planets in the Milky Way Galaxy alone.

They look for things like the Goldilocks on the temperature, gravity, electromagnetic activity. But based on that sixty billion habitable planets in the Milky Way galaxy, which if you multiply that by two trillion, then the universe is teeming with life as we know it. If a planet is too close to its Sun, it's too hot, no life. Too far away too cold, no life. But other factors like cosmological constants. With those calculations it's almost certain that the universe is

full of life like we know it. But that's two trillion galaxies. That's points zero, one percent of the universe atomic. But we also know that atoms are made of particles, and when you're not looking at those particles, they disappear into what are called waves. And if you are scientists, where do these waves come from? They use words like Hilbert space, this and that. Bottom line, the space that creates the universe and atoms is a mathematical space in

mathematical imagination. It's not a real space. So bottom line was the universe made of nothing? So, but you probably know the Buddhist idea form comes from formlessness. Okay, so the universe is made from nothing, which leads to the second question, which is called the heart problem of consciousness. Then why does it look like this? Why does it look like you? Me, this microphone, mountains, galaxies, rainbows, sun moon.

That's called the heart consciousness. So until now, most scientists have said that the brain produces consciousness in the same way as your stomach produces hydrochloric acid. But that's been questioned right now, So like now you and are speaking, people are listening to us. They're watching us, but there's no experience in their brain. There's no sound in their brain, there's no texture. All you sees neurochemistry. So how does neurochemistry give rise to this experience? No one knows. That's

called the heart problem consciousness. It's been there since Plato. Plato said there's a disconnect between the mind and the brain. But recently most scientists, speaking with their physicalists, they believe that the brain produces thoughts and feelings and emotions and desires and intuition and creativity and everything that we call experience, but they can't explain it. How do neurochemicals create this

that's called the heart problem of consciousness. The more I thought about this, and coming from our background and looking at Buddhist teachings and Vedanta. In Vedanta and Buddhism, the universe is a simulation. We have different words maya. Maya means illusion, which is a very interesting word because maya is the origin of the word matrix, of the word matter, of the word time, measurement, meter, music is all maya.

So the Indians, if, as they say jokingly, if religion is the opiate of the masses, then the Indians have the dope on It's okay, so they in the Indian philosophy and in Buddhist philosophy, the universe is a projection over deeper consciousness Brahman bramand or nothing, emptiness and form, nothing is everything. I started to think about this and I started to play with chat chipit. I became friends with Sam Altman, who's very interested in consciousness, and I

realized that actually the universe itself is digital. The difference between you, this sofar, this microphone, a mountain and a galaxy just a different combination of zeros and ones. Okay, that's the difference between this and this different combination of zeros and one. Now we have quantum computing, which says zeros or ones or zero's and one simultaneously. So it occurred to me and I came up with the mathematical formula based on traditions of the East. Infinity is equal

to zero, is equal to one. Nothing becomes everything, and that nothing is infinite and it's all one, and it's divine. It's the matrix. The divine is the matrix, and the universe is a projection of a digital workshop outside of space time. I started to play with that on the internet, got blasted by mainstream scientists, but then other scientists came to my side. I made scientists with the best friend became a cognitive scientist called Don Hoffman. You should have

him on your program. He wrote a book called The Case against Reality that the universe that we see is not real, it's a projection. Now in modern science they're saying it's a simulation. Then people ask, what's who's simulating way? Maybe a higher intelligence, maybe a cosmic computer, maybe an alien form. But they're guessing we are on the right track if you understand that Atman is Brahman and you are part of that, and you are a participant in

the creation of the human universe. So then I started playing with chat, ChiPT Perplexity, deep Sea and all these and I started actually arguing with these AI services because they have a bias there, their mainstream physicalist bias, and they would give me, what I thought, the wrong answers. Where does imagination come from? They point to a certain part of the brain. I said, no, that's the neural correlative imagination. Where does imagine s come from? Don't know?

So even the chat pot said so, I said, it doesn't know it. So I said, now, can you look at Bedaanta, can you look at Aveda? Can you look at Buddhist philosophy? Reframe the question that consciousness the ontological primitive of the universe. Matter is an illusion, it's a perceptual activity and consciousness And boom, suddenly a rebel occurred. All the chatbots started supporting my argument based on the prompt.

So I realized that even AI has selection bias. It's the selection bias as physicalist scientists who are basically, in my view, are superstitious. They believe that everything starts with matter and mind comes first. We believe the opposite, mind comes first, matter comes second, and even mind is a mortification of a higher consciousness. So that led to the book. Event in met Sam who supported the book, and if

you haven't seen his recent tweets on Twitter, other than his arguments with Elon Musk, he's talking about consciousness and we are onto something a major revolution in science which brings Indian spirituality right on the forefront.

of the prompt. So unless you know what question you're asking, you will actually AI will not access that information unless it's asked that con But now I can say, what did the Buddha think about this? What did Plato think about this? What did bitkin exchange think about it? The data is there, except it's not being accessed. Yes, so now do you train the AI to access that data? Yeah, it's brilliant.

mating calls, and danger calls. Because that's how we survived sexuality, danger and food survival, including all the humans that in all animals have their own language, whales and dolphins and all, but it's all about food, sex, danger and danger. Then we, Homo sapiens, created a language for telling stories. There's a phrase in anthropology, to be human is to have a story. What is the mohammarad? It's the story. What is the remind? It's the story. What's the Bible? It's the story. What's

the qurn? It's a story. So to be human is to have a story. But we didn't stop there. We created other stories, like money is story. Okay, it was I'll fixture shows you give me a haircut too become too inconvenient, So here's the shell two increnion, here's this coin two increnion, here's this piece of paper two increnient digital, two digits zeros and once you have crypto. So we have created stories. We created something called Greenwich, meantime, latitude

and longitude money nation states. So I realized that actually what we call the universe is a human story, based on human experiences, based on human biology. There is no such thing as the real universe. So if you have, say a dragonfly who has thirty thousand eyes, what does the world look like to a dragonfly? You have no idea. What does the world look like to a bat which knows the echo ultrasound? A chameleon whose eyeballs swiveled on

two different axis, you can't even remotely imagine. So what's the real look of the world? Was the real nature of the world? According to Dante silly question, the world we experience is a projection of a deeper consciousness as filtered through the human brain, not through any other brain. In other words, it's a superposition. Adi Chankra said that a long time ago, and it's even there in the rig Veda. Can you believe it? And then all the

things about health and longevity. You know, there's huge revolution going on. But if you go to Yogawashesta says time is the consumer and we are its food. We metabolize time,

and then he goes into the nature of time in consciousness. So I realize art, traditions and the knowledge contained in the Vedanta and all the sciences, including Vedic astrology, including all the different Vedic music mathematics, that is the key to understanding consciousness. And now I can use AI to tap into that. And so this book, particularly and my AI, is not a large language model, because I don't trust them anymore. You see large language models even hallucinate. If

they don't have the answer, they make one. So this is what we call a small language model. It has ninety eight of my books. It has my weekly column in the San Francisco Chronicle, my column in the London Times, and one question that I've answered every day for readers for the last forty years. So the database is only mine, yes, and it will not mix up. And it's also what

it is called a RAG model. RAG stands for retrieval, augmentation generation, which means if something is I have said which is obsolete, it'll delete that and upgrade the information. So you know this is a health coach, it's a mental coach, it's a guru, and it's a research assistant, and it's a personal friend. That's the basis of the book and deparkshop AI becomes its practical application.

right now around AI, especially it's ethics and bias. It sounds like you see that from the perspective you're looking at it as well.

has outpaced our spiritual evolution or emotional evolution. You know,

it's technology is way ahead of our spiritual evolution and our emotion. That's a very dangerous combination tribal minds, medieval minds, and modern capacities. Drones. I mean it's legit now to kill a head of state using drone technology. I was in Dows. Oh yeah, I mean what did what did the Israelis do? They got rid of all the Iranian

you know leaders how drones all run by air. So while I was in Davors and Zelensky was you know, his motorcate was going by, there were about seven trucks interfering with air signals on the internet, so somebody wouldn't kill him with a drone because the people are doing that. You know, it just happened with the Iran and it's happening with the Hooties. Even they have access to AI, you know, with drones, and they can you know, drown

an inter continental ballistic missile. So that's the danger. I sat on a committee with the UN and smer body else and they were talking about this doomsday and I was on Zoom. So while they were talking, I went on air and said, give me a way to prevent the misuse of air can be programmed the misuse of air through AI And it gave me two pages on how it could be done. What it is. Oh, it said, we can build in algorithms that will interfere with anything

that's diabolical or anethical. We can create algorithms, but then people have to agree, you know, and a lot of special interest groups who make money with war and terrorism on every side, they don't want that. They don't want peace. So okay, they don't want that because this is what gives them their power. But right now there's an initiative at the UN and I'm participating with that is AIR for Air for Humanity, Air for reversing climate change, A

for addressing chronic disease. And you know, when you really go into the depths of this with the AI, we can reverse climate change. There are five things we need to do. You can reverse climate change, you can create prosperity, you can resolve conflicts, can eliminate chronic disease. You can do gene editing, you can do epigenetic modulation, you can reduce inflammation. In other words, the time is coming where disease.

You don't have to die of a disease. You can choose the moment of your death through Masamadhi, which is what our tradition says. You know, you should live long, healthy and then die peacefully. Been there, done that, next incarnation and even plan that. Yeah, it gives you in all the information if you ask for it. You see some altman's quote, there.

spiritual revolution if you use air properly and not through government, maybe through human through people, grassroots who say we're fed up with this world of violence.

steam engine. Okay, of course, fire burnt down Los Angeles City, so fire is at destroyer city. But it can also create a steam engine and revolutionize the industrial age. Historically, between eighteen eighty seven and nineteen oh three, which is not even twenty years, humans created the light bulb, the automobile, the airplane, and the telephone. So let's pretend you were shipwrecked in eighteen eighty five, you were rescued twenty years later.

Twenty years later, when you saw the world, you won't recognize it. You would expect horses and carriages. But now you see these machines moving along with horses and carriages.

You see people talking on the telephone, you see people flying from one place to the other. Say what's going on? So that's a leapfrog of cultural evolution. The next leap frog is not any cultural, it's biological, which means that as we acquire this new knowledge and tap into the wisdom of the ages, our neural networks will change. Right now, if people are listening to us or watching us, it doesn't matter the genes in their frontal cortex are being activated.

If you and I were having an emotional conversation and somebody in Africa or China is watching it, their reptilian brain would change. So what this technology is doing is going to leapfrog or biological revolution, and all the things that you heard about in yoga, extra sensory perception, knowledge of the future, memory of other lifetimes.

fields you, so you can't get away from both. The other thing is once the technology is one, you can't take it back. It's like a child that's born. You can't return to the womb. So either you adjust, that's very Darwinian, you adapt, or you become irrelevant. So now how do we adapt? How do we cope? But not only how do we cope, how do we make it sacred?

on both sides, make everyone happy. The technologies are there. Who's interested children in Gaza and children talk to the leaders, they're not interesting because this is how they get power. So unless there's a critical mass for people shifting in consciousness, we are in trouble. Yeah.

for creativity rather than feeling like which jobs are should be worried and what should they Okay, so.

the algorithm. That's what we call disruption. Okay. So actually,

if we take even our children, we create video games for health, for longevity, for healing, for homeostasis. You know, when the calculator came out, people said, oh it's going to get you know, we won't need to do math. No, we improved on math. With AI, will will improve and improvise new theorems on math. Because even in math, you know Ramanujan, the great Indian mathematician. They used to ask him where do you get your theorems from? And you

know he wasn't Cambridge. He would say, the goddess is what he gives him to me, and they'd all roll up their eyes. Bertrand Russell thought he was crazy, but he was flummaxed by him. He didn't know how to handle this Indian guy who was in his twenties, and he was coming up with theorems that they couldn't prove, but they were true. So, you know, with as we embark on this adventure with AI, we will also know

the limitations of AI and how we can enhance our creativity with the tools AI gives us. But AI cannot have that creativity, right, It never.

You know, don't get involved in that. Just do what you need to do. And hope that at some point that people will see that this isolationist, prejudiced world is not is not a good survival strategy for anyone.

of a list in any part of the world. I'm just giving you the bias here, but you know, we see that bias everywhere, and that is a dangerous thing because if you understand what it's called emergence, the science of emergency, they say there's no problem. You cannot solve. If you have shared vision, maximum dousity, supporting each other's strengths and creating an emotional and spiritual bond, there's no problem. I learned that as a physician. If I had a

difficult patient, let's say, difficult cancer patient, and all the cancer specialists say, we don't know what to do with it, there's something in the medical profession called grand rounds. You take the patient, present the patient to everybody, not just the cancer specialists, endochronologists, psychiatrists, storytellers, humanitarians, even poets, and you come up with a solution. So when you have maximum dosity, shared vision, complementing everybody's strengths and create an

emotional bond, you solve every problem. And that's what digital

technology can help us do. How you bring together a problem, you said, like the Gaza problem, or you bring together even poverty. How do we want to remove powart? Poverty and peace are connected, PA say, peace and prosperity. So give me the technologies to create this. Here now, if

you go to digit you go to Deepark, Shopper dot A. You can specifically say I'm forty five years old, I'm ethnically an Indian, I lived in Britain for my lifetime. I am now doing this and this. I have a problem sleeping at night, and not only will my AI give you a personal solution. You can say, give me a meditation to sleep tonight. It will give you a meditate. I'm having problem with my relationship. It'll ask you, what's the problem I'm not being heard. It'll give you a

solution for your problem. So my AI is very personal for you. It's not just giving you information. What did it take for you to make it personal? What did that require so that it's different to a chagibt for example. Lots of iterations, lots of it. And by the way, all the engineers are in India, so they also understand what I'm seeing. They're passionate about the project in Bangalore and they're as brilliant as any engineer anywhere. But they

also understand the philosophy. Wow, so that's what made it.

Now it's in Hindi, it's in English, it's in Arabic because huge interest in the Arab world, which was amazing to me. And it's also in Spanish. But I think in two three months we are having it in China and Russia as well.

can encourage you for the next prompt. Yeah.

used to using chat, GPT and AI and everything for such basic questions, which is good too, It's.

look at the cells under the microscope. Now, remember this is nineteen seventy. There's no Google, nothing. So I look at the cells and they look talasemia. But my wife is healthy. I can't figure it out. So I go to this is New Jersey, small hospital. I go to New York. I spent two days in the New York library looking for thalassemia and thalasmia trait. So thalasimia is a disease, and some people have the trade, but they don't have the disease because you need two parents to

have the same trait to get the disease. What do I discover that thalasimia exists along the exact route that Alexander the Great took to India from Macedonia. All the way to India, there's a people have thalasimia trait. So some ancestor of my wife was probably raped by a

soldier two five hundred years ago, and that evidence is in her blood. It took me three days to discover that major discovery. You asked chat jeputy that question or any large language model give you the answer in two seconds. Wow.

the chain four billion years, you won't be here. We won't have this conversation.

I said, what happened in the plank epoch? The plank e park is tended to the power of minus thirty three seconds after the Big Bang when there are no laws of physics? Said what happened in the plank epark? Don't know? This is chat jipity? I said, why is the universe so precisely mathematically fine tuned for life, for consciousness, and for our being here don't know. I found twenty loopholes in the current cosmology of creation. Twenty loopholes. Then

I said, can you now reverse this? Can you begin with consciousness as non local as you know Brahman field of infinite possibilities that differentiates into experience. It hesitated for a split second, but then it pulled out all the data from rig Veda from here. From there I was blown away. So who have you shown this work to?

Who have you showned this? I now posts all this on videos on on Instagram, but Instagram has very short so I push your teaser and then I pushed them to YouTube and those who have the patients, they look at it and it's getting attention.

He's here at the University of California, actually is in Los Angeles, close by the University of California her mine. So he for twenty five years total physicalist. And by the way, the genius behind his work is an Indian guy called Chatan Prakash who was professor of mathematics in Cambridge or Oxford or something, but now works with them.

The two are amazing Chetan Prakash. So he struggled for twenty five years to prove because he's a brain scientist and he's a quantum physicist and mathematician how the brain produces consciousness. Twenty five years later, one day he woke up and he said, you know, thinking how the brain produces consciousness is like Aladdin's lamp. You rub the lamp and the genie wakes up concious, up the old universe. So he gave up and he wrote a book, The

Case Against Reality, which is a mathematical and quantum mechanical explanation for maya or projection. And he was vilified. I supported him. I have twenty five conversations with him on YouTube. Then a bunch of scientists started supporting him. And right now he's a heart ticket in the world of science because if what he's saying and what chet and Prakashi is saying it will approve the entire scientific parady and

it'll make it better. Because if the universe is an immersive experience, then v are xr MR immersive experiences, our technologies will extend our experience of virtual reality. We're already in a virtual reality. So right now there are technologies extended reality immersive experience where you can take a person with, say, burns, and you can give them a VR session and the

burns get healed, inflammation goes away. Who may exists already already autism a child and you teach it emotional and social skills by giving the child an emotional experience with the child actually having normal features and emotionally engaged, and the neural networks start rewiring. So in about ten years you doctors may not give you a prescription for the pharmaceuticals.

They're already talking about digitaluticals, metaceuticals, and the future we are experienced to treat heart disease, inflammation, cancer, autoimmune disease, eating disorders, autism. It's all happening right now. It is happening, and you can check it out on Yeah. Wow, that's incredible. I mean I had no idea.

the education.

Field is shit, and then the nor of the field, the field is awareness, and it modulates itself as mind intellect ego, the five senses, the five motive organs, the five tanmatras, and the vital energy and the universe. I was thinking that one chapter has the key to reality. Okay, how do we now these biosensors which I'm wearing, they

are actually extending my knowledge of self awareness. But my body already knows, you know, if I'm if I'm doing something that I shouldn't be doing, I feel pain over here. If I eat the wrong food, I get in digestion. If I don't sleep at night, I'm messed up the next day. So my body is already the field of awareness. And it's a biosensor, it's a biomotor, and it's a biocomputer. The biocomputer is consciousness. The biomotor is the five motor organs,

the biosensor the five senses. Now with this technology, I can extend it. I'm also wearing a BCG with blood sugar monitoring, not that I have diabetes, but it can relate my metabolism to all this now and intervened right there through a video game or through a visual or through an auditory experience, or through some visual experience, I can do that. So actually, in the future, I'm really serious about this. And I met the R and D

chiefs of the biggest pharmaceutical companies. Say, you, guys, if you don't get into digital uticals, metaceuticals, immusive experiences, you'll

be left behind. And some of these biggest pharmaceutical companies now they have thousands of scientists looking at these new technologies. Yeah, I mean, how do you get you said seventy eight plus.

of your biology. Time is the consumer and we are food. How do we slow down the metabolism of time? How do you use every sense we experience to eel ourselves, whether it sound and now, Oh, you can go on on TPACT, but you can go in chat Chi too and say how do Mantra's work. It will give you, it will give you the right answer. Okay, do mantras change genetic activity? Yes? They do. So this is a revolution right now because in the past you would say

this is howcus focus. Here's the evidence what is happening in genetic and very few people are identifying that. But this technology will find those people. There's a scientist from India called Anirban Bandhubadha who's from Bihar. He went to IIT in some little place. There are many IITs in India, So in a place called Monday in Himachal Pradesh. He's now the chief scientific officer for a very big outfit in Japan, and he's totally on board on consciousness and

how it is. You know, the brain is like a computer interface. So the consciousness uses the brain to give

you access to experience. Just like I can go on my desktop computer and I don't need to know how it works. I press Amazon dot com. It gives me a way to shop. Yes, So the brain is like that computer interface, and these neural correlates a little symbolic, you might say, symbols that you can use to plug in to the bigger reality. And so I'm going to India just to meet this guy because he's brilliant, and he's in Japan, but he's questioning Nobel Laureates at the

moment and he's brilliant. Absolutely. And you see, you have to have a cultural background to explore all this because you know, when you speak to scientists who totally brought up in the materialistic paradigm reductionists, they roll their eyes, they said, what are you talking about? This is nonsense?

You can fly a plane as a pilot without knowing how the airplane works. So that's all we need to use the technology because ultimately what we call consciousness is such an infinite mystery that in the end you have to surrender to it. You know, the fifth Niama, which surrender to the divine each word surrender, because you won't be able to solve it. You know, what's his name, Freeman Dyson, one of the greatest physicists of all times, Princeton,

before that Cambridge. He said, God is what the mind becomes when you can't figure it out, when it process, it goes beyond the threshold of your comprehension. You have to surrender to the mystery.

other methods are called the progressive method. Direct means you question, what is this? Well, the human construct is this is a glass of water? Okay, what else is it? It's an object, But before you can call it an object, it's an experience. Where is the experience happening? Not in the brain. There's no photo of this in your brain. Okay, So where is happening consciousness? Where is consciousness? Don't know? Why don't you know? Because it doesn't have a form.

So this is an experience happening in the infinite. The infinite is present in every finite experience. God is not difficult to find. God is impossible to avoid. It's in everything that you see. You need consciousness, and that consciousness infinite. So every finite experience is based on the presence of the infinite. This is the direct method. It's a reflection. It's called atma vichar, and it leads to what is called artma dshan. But that's very deep for both people.
