Speaker 1: This is my legacy. Welcome to this week's bonus drop. Today,
Speaker 1: more from our interview with Deepak Chopra, a leading pioneer
Speaker 1: in mind body medicine. He offers a surprising take on
Speaker 1: how artificial intelligence might accelerate, not replace, human consciousness. Let's
Speaker 1: jump right in.
Speaker 2: Fact, you speak eloquently about consciousness and the awareness of
Speaker 2: consciousness and conscious awareness. For our listeners who perhaps this
Speaker 2: is relatively new to them, what are some one or
Speaker 2: two things they can do to bring consciousness more actively
Speaker 2: into their lives.
Speaker 3: Be present to now. Now is the only moment that
Speaker 3: never ends. So now is the timeless spirit in the
Speaker 3: time mound, body, mind and world experience. The spirit is
Speaker 3: not in time, it's now, and the point of arrival
Speaker 3: is always now. So when you get to the future
Speaker 3: where you want to be so that you can be happy,
Speaker 3: it will be now. And if you're not now now,
Speaker 3: you won't be now then. So if you can focus
Speaker 3: on what is, then you're present and spirit is present.
Speaker 3: Also same word awareness, Spirit, the divine, the incomprehensible. You
Speaker 3: know what the great physicist Freeman Dyson, he said, God
Speaker 3: is what mind becomes when it goes beyond the threshold
Speaker 3: of our comprehension. We surrender there is it's a mystery.
Speaker 3: You will never comprehend it, and it is incomprehensible. But
Speaker 3: without it, there's no comprehension of anything. So you know,
Speaker 3: the divine is present in every experience. Focus on the
Speaker 3: divine and then everything follows. And don't try to figure
Speaker 3: it out because that's my craziness. I'm always trying to
Speaker 3: figure it out. Okay, if you try and figure it out,
Speaker 3: you will reel with bewilderment. Roomy exchange your cleverness for bewildered.
Speaker 3: So if you're bewildered and astonished, that's presence, that's spirit
Speaker 3: to pack.
Speaker 4: Your latest book is Digital Dharma that explores the connection
Speaker 4: between AI and consciousness. And many people are afraid that
Speaker 4: AI is going to further disconnect us, but in fact
Speaker 4: you talk about how AI can help deepen our spiritual
Speaker 4: and emotional growth. Can you help us understand?
Speaker 3: You know, when we were kids, we say, you know,
Speaker 3: every kid asked the parents where did I come from?
Speaker 3: And the parents said God made you? Right. Then you say,
Speaker 3: where did God come from? And then you don't know
Speaker 3: what to say. You say, we play with your toy.
Speaker 3: Shut up. You don't know the answer. So I said,
Speaker 3: you know, now that we have digital technology, why don't
Speaker 3: we tap into the minds of the greatest teachers. I
Speaker 3: can now tap into the mind of Jesus. Okay, through AI,
Speaker 3: explain to me the sermon on the Mount. Okay, why
Speaker 3: does Jesus say, treat your enemies as yourself? And the
Speaker 3: answer is your enemy is yourself in another uniform with
Speaker 3: another conditioning, another cultural conditioning, whatever, economic conditioning, not the
Speaker 3: skin color, but it's the same infinite source. So I
Speaker 3: can now do that with digital technologies. What did Plato
Speaker 3: have to say about it? What did Chaupenair have to say?
Speaker 3: What did the stages of the Upnishads have to say
Speaker 3: about it? So the book I wrote is about four things.
Speaker 3: Number one, how to use AI as a health coach. Now,
Speaker 3: help me sleep, help me regulate my immune system, help
Speaker 3: me with this nutrition. So health coach both mental and
Speaker 3: physical research assistant. It a way to reflect self reflection
Speaker 3: as a personal guide for self reflection. You know, if
Speaker 3: I say, am I a body? Am I mind? Am
Speaker 3: I a spirit? Give me reasons? Why not the body
Speaker 3: because the body is constantly changing? Give me the reasons.
Speaker 3: What did the great luminaries of humanity think about it?
Speaker 3: How did they think about the mind? How did they
Speaker 3: think about the spirits? So it's a health coach, it's
Speaker 3: a spiritual guide, it's a research assistant, and it's actually
Speaker 3: now what I've done is with my own AI, which
Speaker 3: is the porkshopa dot AI. I decided, you know, even
Speaker 3: in meditation, people have different needs. I want a meditation
Speaker 3: for sleep, I want a meditation for relationships. I want
Speaker 3: a meditation for feeling strong in the morning. I want
Speaker 3: a meditation for making me choose the right foods. And
Speaker 3: the AI will look at my database of meditations and
Speaker 3: create a new meditation for you, which I didn't create
Speaker 3: in the past, but it will take all my stuff
Speaker 3: and then it'll consult all the meditation experts, not from now,
Speaker 3: from Jesus onwards, or even before to now, you know,
Speaker 3: so you can tap into the minds of Moses or
Speaker 3: Jesus or Einstein or Roomy, whoever you want. Now, with
Speaker 3: large language models, we've gone beyond that because you have
Speaker 3: the language of biology, language of mathematics, the language of physics,
Speaker 3: the language of religion, the language of spirituality, the language
Speaker 3: of the great scriptures. Without being conscious, AI is super intelligent,
Speaker 3: but it's not conscious because conscious is a much deeper
Speaker 3: or Spirit is not an algorithm. In fact, spirit is
Speaker 3: the absence of all algorithms. When you take away all algorithms,
Speaker 3: then you touch the divine, incomprehensible, so deepaking Gabriella.
