AI & The Shadow of the Age of Aquarius

Do not upload your Consciousness to the server ~ The Mother is the Medicine

I posted this yesterday on my personal FB profile and realized I should probably post it here as well.

Read on below for more….

I am so disheartened by all the AI posts I see. I can usually sense with my spidey senses when something has been written (or created) by AI. As a writer I find it alarming that people have AI write for them and then post it as though they wrote it- not disclosing that it was not their words or their voice or their own original thought process.

It is happening with Astrology, Spirituality, Goddess/Priestess content.

It is also happening in the Scoliosis pages I belong to with family’s sharing their 'experience' but it is AI written- not their own original thoughts and words. They do not disclose this though- and then people comment 'I love what you have written- it really resonates' and they did not even write it!

I read an article a month or so ago- I could not find it to link here- where it talked about the danger of AI writing and thinking for us. When we do things- study, write, create, paint, dance, explore- our brains grow and our synaptic plasticity strengthens and neural pathways in the brain change and grow. When we do our own thinking, writing and research (or painting, creating, etc...)- it is like metaphorically working out or using a gardening metaphor- it is like watering the brain.

When we let AI do it for us- our brains will get metaphorically soft like someone who stops exercising or it will be like a plant that no longer gets watered and starts to die. It is not a good thing- and it will serve to curtail original thinking and will take us quicker into AI group mind- with the owners/programmers of AI determining what the group mind 'thinks'. It is very concerning!

We each have our own unique gifts. An artist becomes wonderful at art because of the years of dedication, the lessons and study, the 100+ times they try something out or create variations, the devotion to their craft, the sacrifice of time/money/energy towards this ONE THING THEY LOVE and are really good at and can share with the world. The same can be said for a writer, a teacher, a musician, a singer, an athlete, an actor, etc...

In the AI world you can spend 10 minutes searching on AI and craft a written post or a piece of art or a song or a class lesson, etc... and it will not be from you- YOUR SOUL- or from your lived embodied experience and years/decades long devotion to your craft. And because this is happening we are starting to be flooded by so much content- most of which is AI generated- that it is becoming hard to tell what is original, what is honest, what is truthful.

I am super intuitive and 97-99% of the time I can catch it. But as we get flooded with more and more AI fakes or AI created things- it will become near impossible to discern. Discernment is actually a key piece of lived experience that goes out the window when we let AI think or create for us. Not to mention the captivation that AI puts out (which is INTENTIONAL) that actually serves to put us in a trance state. Behind a lot of AI is intentionally manipulative glamour programmed into the words/images/ideas.

We are now all on information overload- and unfortunately the AI harvests (or SCRAPES- it is actually called "AI Scraping") from genuine people so it will have something in it that feels right or honest or good- but it will be like an APEEL SPRAYED FRUIT OR VEGETABLE- looks shiny and perfect on the outside but the inside will rot.

(Apeel is Bill Gates disgusting chemical spray that he says is organic and it stops organic fruit from decaying on the outside so people will still buy it- but it does not stop the decaying on the inside and it adds chemical crap to your "organic" food)

I AM NOT A FAN OF AI. And I highly recommend you do not allow AI to think for you. Think for yourself, do your own research (AI can be helpful in research but I have tried researching with AI 3 times now and each time it gave me wrong information so you always have to check your Sources and do not assume AI is always right), write your own posts, paint your own pictures- and if you are not a great writer or painter or whatever- TAKE CLASSES AND LEARN FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE.

We need to keep the humanity in our creations. And I am concerned about what I see taking over social media. The Shadow of Group Mind is that it is a trap that looks enticing but once we are trapped it will be hard to break out and break free.

AGE OF AQUARIUS MUSINGS... (the Shadow side clearly- there are positives sides but right now I am speaking to the Shadow)

A FEW ADDED BULLET POINT IDEAS DUE TO COMMENT EXCHANGES ON MY ORIGINAL POST:

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I QUOTE AND REFERENCE PEOPLE- I share my own response to their original quotes but do not take their insights and pretend they are my own. THIS IS GETTING LOST IN ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA AI CULTURE- many, many, MANY people are taking original thoughts and ideas form others and using it without attribution. This is extraction culture and it is based on patriarchal models of taking and using, r*ping and feeding off of- which is not just about sex but is in fact an energy that drains and uses others for one’s own benefit.

THE COMMENTS:

AI is mesmerizing & seductive- there is a glamour, illusion, mirage, fantasy. The surface is glamorous which makes many ignore what is beneath it (which is why I used the Apeel example above- literally Apeel was created to make the outside of organic produce not rot but the inside still does, giving the ‘appearance’ of goodness) (Discussion with Shelley Sophia Crawford)

When talking about people uploading their thoughts, journals, personal info to AI (or dreams, using AI for therapy, etc…)- “Protection of our soul wisdom I feel is vital, and this uploading to an artificial intelligence is offering our unique soul expressions as almost a ritual sacrifice.” (Discussion with Mara Elaine O’Grady)

Using AI to think for us is lazy- and the anti dote is BEING IN NATURE. (Discussion with Heather Carter)

A comment from Jillian Carney “When I begin to read a post and realize it’s AI generated, I feel a quality of violation, as I did not consent to reading non-human musings and meaning-making that evokes my own emotions.” I also feel similarly but the way I experience it is that I am being tricked or manipulated- it is posted with an implication that it this person’s wisdom or experience and then at a certain point (usually a sentence or two into the writing- sometimes it takes a bit longer) I realize it is not original or authentic and then I get enraged because I can feel behind it the desire to present it as though it is someone’s content and I personally do not like being manipulated (or someone attempting to manipulate me). I feel the same way about most advertisements which are largely based on the Freudian Principle of Manipulating people’s unconscious desires and fears (google Freud’s nephew and advertising) and also about most media and news.

My friend Angelina Metcalfe said she uploaded her original content (a book with chapters) to get AI to help organize it and it came back with her work completely changed and altered- with things she did not say in there and things she did say gone. She said “The content submitted was 100% written by me, it’s a philosophical framework and I know it by heart because it’s my own work. Anyway, it added its own ‘flair’ and changed crucial details. Can you imagine how much BS is out there due to this kind of thing? I mean I know my work, obviously.. but what about those who are partially knowledgeable about a subject, using AI to get ahead in the game yet passing serious misinformation on into the world with no idea!”

THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING THING THAT IS VERY MUCH HAPPENING ALL OVER THE INTERNET- people who took a 6 week class on something, now calling themselves ‘professoinals’ or ‘masters’ and are extracting from AI or from other peoples work and calling it there own.

Lastly in a discussion with Erayna Falcon she hoped that Saturn and Neptune into Aries (and out of Pisces) would help wake people up to this. I said “I personally think this shadow is about Pluto in Aquarius- which will be there for a LONG TIME. Neptune in Aries shadow could be about confusion about individual ownership of creativity and expression- so it could make this worse actually. But the more of us bringing awareness the better !!!”

MY FINAL STATEMENT ON THIS LENGTHY POST:

I do believe the medicine is discernment, shadow work (because if we can see the shadow within- we can see it without), embodiment/somatic work, being out in nature A LOT, unplugging from social media/news as much as we can because this is where most of this is going to be coming from intentionally flooding our consciousness (without being out to lunch about what is going in the world- quite the balancing act), strengthening our intuition (which is connected to discernment) so that we are better able to sense when things are off or not real or fake or misleading and more.

For me the Medicine is the Mother. The Divine Feminine is represented by the Elements of Earth and Water- Body and Heart/Soul. Our sensation, physical vehicle, somatic awareness and capacity for boundaries (Earth) and our emotions, feelings, intuition, heart and capacity for Love (Water)- ARE THE MEDICINE.

When these two are being worked with deeply we become the Living Vessel for Spirit/Ether (the 5th Element) to Descend into and through. Then we become the Light houses (Vessels of Light/Spirit/Ether) who come fully down and in and walk the earth- anchoring and embodying Spirit. Will/Ego (Fire) and Mind (Air) need to be in service to Spirit/Ether- but also in service to the Body and Soul/Heart. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Doing this work IS THE MEDICINE. It’s why I teach these things and will continue to do so until All Beings Everywhere are Awakened & Embodied living with Open Hearts and Healthy Boundaries.

Blessed be!
