WEBVTT - BONUS DROP: Deepak Chopra on Consciousness and AI

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>This is my legacy. Welcome to this week's bonus drop. Today,

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>more from our interview with Deepak Chopra, a leading pioneer

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in mind body medicine. He offers a surprising take on

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>how artificial intelligence might accelerate, not replace, human consciousness. Let's

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>jump right in.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Fact, you speak eloquently about consciousness and the awareness of

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>consciousness and conscious awareness. For our listeners who perhaps this

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>is relatively new to them, what are some one or

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>two things they can do to bring consciousness more actively

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>into their lives.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 3>Be present to now. Now is the only moment that

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 3>never ends. So now is the timeless spirit in the

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 3>time mound, body, mind and world experience. The spirit is

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 3>not in time, it's now, and the point of arrival

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>is always now. So when you get to the future

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.320
<v Speaker 3>where you want to be so that you can be happy,

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 3>it will be now. And if you're not now now,

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>you won't be now then. So if you can focus

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 3>on what is, then you're present and spirit is present.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Also same word awareness, Spirit, the divine, the incomprehensible. You

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 3>know what the great physicist Freeman Dyson, he said, God

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>is what mind becomes when it goes beyond the threshold

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>of our comprehension. We surrender there is it's a mystery.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 3>You will never comprehend it, and it is incomprehensible. But

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>without it, there's no comprehension of anything. So you know,

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 3>the divine is present in every experience. Focus on the

0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>divine and then everything follows. And don't try to figure

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 3>it out because that's my craziness. I'm always trying to

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 3>figure it out. Okay, if you try and figure it out,

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 3>you will reel with bewilderment. Roomy exchange your cleverness for bewildered.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 3>So if you're bewildered and astonished, that's presence, that's spirit

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 3>to pack.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 4>Your latest book is Digital Dharma that explores the connection

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 4>between AI and consciousness. And many people are afraid that

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 4>AI is going to further disconnect us, but in fact

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 4>you talk about how AI can help deepen our spiritual

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 4>and emotional growth. Can you help us understand?

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, when we were kids, we say, you know,

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 3>every kid asked the parents where did I come from?

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>And the parents said God made you? Right. Then you say,

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>where did God come from? And then you don't know

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>what to say. You say, we play with your toy.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Shut up. You don't know the answer. So I said,

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, now that we have digital technology, why don't

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 3>we tap into the minds of the greatest teachers. I

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>can now tap into the mind of Jesus. Okay, through AI,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 3>explain to me the sermon on the Mount. Okay, why

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>does Jesus say, treat your enemies as yourself? And the

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 3>answer is your enemy is yourself in another uniform with

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 3>another conditioning, another cultural conditioning, whatever, economic conditioning, not the

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>skin color, but it's the same infinite source. So I

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 3>can now do that with digital technologies. What did Plato

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 3>have to say about it? What did Chaupenair have to say?

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 3>What did the stages of the Upnishads have to say

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>about it? So the book I wrote is about four things.

0:03:54.320 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Number one, how to use AI as a health coach. Now,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 3>help me sleep, help me regulate my immune system, help

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 3>me with this nutrition. So health coach both mental and

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 3>physical research assistant. It a way to reflect self reflection

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>as a personal guide for self reflection. You know, if

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I say, am I a body? Am I mind? Am

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 3>I a spirit? Give me reasons? Why not the body

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 3>because the body is constantly changing? Give me the reasons.

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 3>What did the great luminaries of humanity think about it?

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>How did they think about the mind? How did they

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>think about the spirits? So it's a health coach, it's

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 3>a spiritual guide, it's a research assistant, and it's actually

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 3>now what I've done is with my own AI, which

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 3>is the porkshopa dot AI. I decided, you know, even

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 3>in meditation, people have different needs. I want a meditation

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 3>for sleep, I want a meditation for relationships. I want

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 3>a meditation for feeling strong in the morning. I want

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>a meditation for making me choose the right foods. And

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>the AI will look at my database of meditations and

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 3>create a new meditation for you, which I didn't create

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 3>in the past, but it will take all my stuff

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 3>and then it'll consult all the meditation experts, not from now,

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 3>from Jesus onwards, or even before to now, you know,

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 3>so you can tap into the minds of Moses or

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Jesus or Einstein or Roomy, whoever you want. Now, with

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 3>large language models, we've gone beyond that because you have

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.599
<v Speaker 3>the language of biology, language of mathematics, the language of physics,

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 3>the language of religion, the language of spirituality, the language

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 3>of the great scriptures. Without being conscious, AI is super intelligent,

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 3>but it's not conscious because conscious is a much deeper

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>or Spirit is not an algorithm. In fact, spirit is

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 3>the absence of all algorithms. When you take away all algorithms,

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 3>then you touch the divine, incomprehensible, so deepaking Gabriella.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.280
