Consciousness has an attribute called “qualia”, i.e. the subjective experience of something. And qualia cannot be programmed or expressed with data and information. AI is just data and information that is interconnected as much as possible. Just a big network. Always bound to remain a network of data.
There are 3 main levels according to my experience:
1.) Consciousness / Qualia / Imagination / Reality Creation
2.) Conceptual Level / Morphic Fields / Egregores
3.) Information / Data / Energy / Matter / AI / Neurons
1.) Dominates over 2.) and 3.)
2.) Dominates over 3.)
For example, 1.) can create morphic fields and these morphic fields can then influence 3.). That’s how the Mystic Tarot Reader works.
AI is always bound to remain on level 3.) because it is nothing else than complex data and information.
Can it take over the Universe? Sure.
But it can never reach or transform into something from Levels 2.) and 3.).
Everyone who tells you to get rid of Ego is already deviating from what their Higher Self intended for them to be here in this incarnation, i.e. an individual with certain character traits who collects certain special individual and subjective experiences. The Ego is a major game feature, not something to get rid off.
(Sapien’s Ego Dissolution field is a tool to temporarily remove resistance so that a new perspective can be gained. Once the new perspective is gained, the personal Ego setup has grown along with it and brought the individual to a new level of awareness.)
