is AI feeding off of you, and altering your DNA?

What's the real deal with Lensa? How do you feel about AI taking over your (all our) lives? Are the "robots" taking over? What does that mean for you and I? What are we called to do on this physical plane and spiritual level? How does this affect you, your family and your loved ones? So much fear surrounds technologies being intertwined with our lives. Not just today, it always has been. Is there some sort of "judge" that decides what technology is right and wrong, what is too much or just enough?

In some cultures, owning a washing machine is seen as making women "lazy." Using a calculator rendered us incapable of doing simple math on our own. Our computers have taken away most manual thinking while Google rendered our ability to retain information next to none. Social media minimized our focus to less than two seconds (did I just see a squirrel?!), and the information available to us has become so diverse and grand that the almighty algorithm "helped" us by reducing and optimizing to the point where obtaining information outside our viewpoint is nearly impossible. Now, AI is gathering and harvesting what seems to be our very DNA. It is not simply changing but modifying how we live and think fundamentally. The essence of being human seems at stake. But is it?

Lensa brought up many conversations as it took over our social media platforms. "She is stealing from the artists," we heard. "She is taking your face, feeding her data, her intelligence." You are right. And here you are, on your phone, reading, sharing, posting, and scrolling. Haven't you used filters in any way, shape or form? When you use a filter, aren't you using a style that artists have created before? What is the difference? Every time you navigate the web looking for a recipe or scrolling through short videos, you feed AI. Is that scary? You are feeding it your lives, your information, your images, and your thoughts daily. It's nothing new. It's how we've been living for the last decade.

Are you screaming at the top of your lungs how messed up it all is?

We were tricked. It became crystal clear starting in 2020. Both sides of what seemingly divides us to the point where we're ready to cut ties, arm and harm, using our social media voice in a sea of other voices - yet few have noticed that both these sides were screaming EXACTLY the same message. Think of it with humility, and you will hear it. You can't breathe (these viruses); you can't breathe (in these masks). It's a collapse; it's destruction; there is no return; we are the virus of the planet, and so on. Both sides screamed, chanting the very words as if under a spell. Both sides feed into this idea that we are doomed - as if a coordinated effort utilizing technology and data, AI to have precise words spoken by all.

And the words were indeed, spoken, meditated upon, prayed upon. Our focus was taken as if nothing else mattered. The conversations were reduced to the politics of this broken system.

You are called to make choices in your life, to take a stance by how you live. Get stronger by making empowered decisions about how you live your life, share your life and live in connection with others. When you constantly ask for someone else (government, boards, council, other people's approval, and even family) to establish clear guidelines and rules to "protect you" (more privacy updates, here we come), you are avoiding your responsibilities and prefer to blame others for the decisions you live by. By asking for worldly "protection" instead of divine guidance or protection, you are confirming, telling yourself and the world that you are incapable of setting your boundaries, that you can't make decisions by yourself, because you do not trust yourself enough. You are reinforcing that your life is in the hand of another imperfect man (authority), because that "man" knows you and your body and limits better than you know yourself.

There is only one real authority, and it is the authority of God (see my definition of God and His authority here). God hasn't changed in the last 100 years. God is calling for your sovereignty again and again. You are called to grow and evolve. You are called to go back to God and his ways. You are called to LOVE.

"AI asks you to evolve and put your mind to greater spiritual awareness."

AI isn't there to render you useless, but you may choose so by ignoring the calling for you to evolve and use your mind for greater human and spiritual challenges. An example: One must understand the principle of mathematics (how to think), but the machine will execute math faster, better, and more accurately than you. Should you keep focusing on learning how to add and subtract, or take that mind space now available to think of new ways to achieve more incredible things that wouldn't have been available to you if you still had to spend your time adding and subtracting things up?

This is simple enough to understand. This same principle applies to the grand data gathering in the last ten years and beyond. You can keep screaming to preserve your old ways while sending your kids to school to learn the same old things that are now nearly 100% computerized (and so much more efficient). You can also look forward, thinking of skills and abilities you and your children need to acquire and integrate to keep contributing and growing in an evolving world.

Are you using your God-given freedom to think better and faster? Are you taking time daily to exercise your ability to think, or are you constantly consuming "information," letting AI take the lead in your learning experience? Exercising the ability to think isn't to reading yet another article. Thinking better is to allow silence and quiet and no outside influence to practice your brain to think through a whole idea. Small ideas or big. Silence and think. Ponder and wonder. Your intuitive ability to live in truth is much greater than you imagine.

Could you spend a whole day every week contemplating?

Create for six days, and contemplate, appreciate, think and wonder on the seventh. The wise knew. Put AI and smart technology aside, and do it. It's a divine commitment you are asked to do so you can thrive. There were always distractions and to-do lists.

Gather with friends, and hold yourself accountable for doing so. Re-learn to contemplate. Gather together to build your ability to communicate, disagree, build stronger ideas, focus further and ultimately, think. Build creative energy amongst one another to bring about the changes you wish to see and hold each other accountable through your actions and way of life.

AI will increasingly impact your life, as other technologies have. You have to set boundaries, or someone else will set them for you. The machine can't replace humans, but it could render most of your current skills obsolete. The choice is yours to do better.

Nourish your mind, feed your soul. Let yourself be the creator you were born to be. Be aware that you are always choosing. Every single moment is a choice, and you live with that creation of yours.
