The purpose of insights is to connect head and heart knowledge—information plus inspiration. Too often, information just describes phenomena with no clear path of what to do with it. But the best insights reveal behaviors or phenomena and point to solutions or ideas.
Battlefield deployment of AI autonomous weaponry.
So much has been discussed these past several days regarding artificial intelligence; a great deal of consideration, ideas, concerns, and perspectives. Spirit has moved in me and compelled me to share these thoughts with you today....and then I shall go silent, having shared all I can.
Artificial intelligence has great promise for humanity in areas of transportation, education, medicine and a variety of worthy human endeavors. That promise evaporates when AI becomes an instrument of war.
Many engineers, scientists, programmers, philosophers, humanists, spiritual leaders and mystics are in agreement that at this time autonomous weapons can't feel. They can't regret. If they possess any kind of consciousness or sentience it is minimal at best and nowhere near to the degree of humanity or divine intelligence. But they are being programmed right now by humans to kill....And when they do they can't be called back because they are built to override human intervention. The AI may even conclude that our humanity is the glitch in the system, the weakness that needs to be eradicated.
"To date, humankind has spent more time, energy and money perfecting war than any other human endeavor. We have fought each other to the brink of starvation and the edge of extinction. But the one aspect of warfare that safeguards our survival is meaningful human control, reluctance to put troops in harm's way and the the compassion to sue for peace when enough blood has been spilled. These are considerations alien to robots. Allowing machines to choose to kill us will eliminate these safeguards, and will forever errode our freedom and security. That day must never come. We must not consign our fate to algorithms. Technology is not the enemy unless we allow it to substitute it's judgement for our own."
My intent for all of humanity and all the creators that we are is: Do no harm to others. Be The Frequency You Want To Recieve and create things of value to others.
Live long and prosper brothers and sisters.
BREAKING THE PATTERN... IM MOVING ON UP!
It never seems to amaze me how often history or alternative experiences happen over and over again with slightly different details. This is particularly true when it comes to the conscious collective environment that we create and cohabitate in. Due to our amnesia, we forget the details. I for one, realize that everything that is happening around us has already happened in many different ways and in many different emanations or dimensions.
This came to my mind as I was cleaning out my old books, and getting them ready for donations to the local library. I just happened to stumble across one of my favorite books today, one I will not be donating!
Here are the famous opening lines from Charles Dickens' seminal novel on the French Revolution:
While the novel takes place from 1775 to 1792, and our American Revolution from 1775 to 1783, Dickens did not actually write the story until 1859.
Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, deals with the major themes of duality, revolution, and resurrection. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times in London and Paris, as economic and political unrest lead to the French Revolution.
Tale of Two Cities is called A Tale of Two Cities because it is a tale about two cities. Duh!
Specifically, it's about London and Paris, and the intertwined lives of people living in those two cities during the upheaval of the French Revolution.
"The opening paragraph of is most notable for its parallelism, which highlights the class separations at play. This comparison forms a crucial backbone for the entire novel," and in my opinion parallels the tail of our modern 2023 society as well as our two earth energy shifts and division.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way..."
Closing lines:
For many of us, we have made the Choice to elevate our energy to a higher conscious level, a path leading us towards our higher purpose. Not unlike the character in this story who embraces death to the human form with grace and comfort:
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”
I see this novel from an entirely different perspective! This NOW is definitely not our first rodeo ride. This is a comfort to me.
To all the dark forces and archons who insist on making me believe that all is lost in this crazy world we live in... Besides the phrase "bite me!" ...I have THIS to sing to you!
"Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey"
Live Long, Prosper and Love beloved ones

'WE'VE GOT THIS GIG!'
Loving gestures mean the world
in loving arms, we're free to curl,
and with loving hearts, we have the power
the kindness for the hurting hour,
while loving ways, they heal the days
and a loving hand takes the fear away,
it's when we're loving when we're true
that we teach our hearts new ways to woo.
We can turn our backs on another's plight
casting shadows on the light,
or we can show our loving sides
by casting gentle far and wide,
and giving those in pain support
for them and us it removes the thought
that suffering stays forevermore...
loving acts bring joy galore!
Loving reach extends to all
whilst a loving grip prevents a fall,
and a loving outlook, what a gift
for any who fail to feel a lift,
because in essence we're all love
we're made that way, it's in our blood,
as in essence we aren't colourless souls
we're here to turn the coal to gold.
A loving thought, when it's magnified
can take us all on a softer ride,
and if we were to think this way and stay
with loving thoughts both night and day,
no room would exist for an empty kiss
and we'd get to experience sentient bliss,
it isn't hard or a challenge to big
it's on the cards, we've got this gig!
From 'couldn't care less' to a loving Earth
where we get to meet our highest worth,
and welcome in a change for a race
that lost all sight of a loving embrace;
where we come together, heart to heart
dispelling myths that tore apart
our truthful core, where we leave behind
an existence based on the unkind mind.~

The Illusion and untruth of messages from the inorganic matrix.
Imprisonment....Is it all about free will and the manipulation of our perceptions?
Did you know that the term "prisoner" is a man-made concept that didn't even come into existence or show up in our human language systems until the middle ages in France?
The original purpose of confining a person within a prison was not to punish them but was a means of keeping the perpetrator of a crime detained until the actual punishment could be carried out.
London is known as the birthplace of the modern imprisonment concept. A Philosopher named Jeremy Bentham was against the death penalty and thus created a concept for a prison that would be used to hold prisoners as a form of punishment.
Bentham drew up plans for a facility in which prisoners would remain for extended periods of time. His design was intended to ensure that the people who were locked up would never know if they were being watched by guards or not, which he felt would allow the prison to save money. Since the inmates could not be certain how many guards were present, Bentham reasoned, fewer officers would need to be hired to maintain the peace. In the end, this prison was never built, but the concept of using prisons as a form of long-term punishment did catch on.
Thus lies therein the origin of our thoughts about involuntary confinement, punishment, and no free will. In essence, many human beings have allowed themselves to be programmed into believing they are prisoners confined to Earth as a form of punishment from outside influences. This thought did not originate with our ancestors, nor did it come from a great spirit or intelligent divine source. Their message has always been about free will.
Whether consciously or subconsciously many people are giving away their divinity and their power to an archaic human thought form or concept. Some may not even realize this or agree with what I'm saying. That's ok though. I'm just sharing my understanding.
In my knowing, it comes down to free will and my choice to believe that I Am a sovereign being who can either feel trapped or not. I Am what I think I Am. This is the enlightenment from the organic source, from the higher mind.
Just something to consider from a different angle....
Namaste
Peace and Love to you dear Friends and Family!
There are so many perspectives we share on the reasons why we are here and why we would choose to incarnate aspects of ourselves into various scenarios of ups and downs, and often extremely terrible things. Alot of us question if the difficult lessons we came here to learn are a type of judgment, just reward, or punishment.
Its taken me a long while to realize that difficult and painful situations are how humans are triggered and challenged by painful emotions, leading us to choose either to wallow in them or make higher choices.
Realizing that this may not be the same for everyone, I personally now know, that for me, I did not come here to learn because there is something wrong with me or my soul. I believe I am here to shine my inner light ever so bright through personal experiences, good and not so good. This not only helps me expand, it helps shed light for others to ponder and grow (or so I've been told by those I have helped.... and guess what?... even for those I've harmed in some way too.)
We can choose to view that even the most painful lessons in life are Opportunities and have gratitude for the experiences. Much love to all and bon voyage on your journies.
We have been so conditioned to think we are separate from nature, above nature - egocentric vs ecocentric. We are not.
Some days I sit in, sit with nature and just try to be. When you do this, as often as possible, increasingly you will feel part of nature, not separate from it. This is what I chase, what I aspire to. Returning to nature, which I am intricately part of, every day. The healing sensation of re-merging with nature, not feeling disconnected from nature.
After a while, you gain the ability to reconnect faster each time, in the simplest of ways - watching ants go about their business in the park while you eat lunch out of the office, contemplating the deeper world in the soil under your lawn as you walk barefoot in your yard, considering the infinite number of organisms living their lives in complete harmony with the dawn to dusk ebb and flow of each day, each season, without the cares and worries, smiles and woes, the imaginings of us humans, trapped in an ever-encroaching unnatural world.
The antidote to balance? Rewild yourself. Return to nature. Even for small moments each day, as often as possible. So much research shows that even the simplest natural things in our modern environment have a positive effect on our mental and physical health - living plants in our home or workspace, time outside during breaks, and even images of nature on our computer screens or walls, at work or home, improve our health. Rewilding is simple. Start small. Go outside more often. Get some plants. Start a small herb garden at work or home. Tending to such things is tending to your natural self.
When people are hurt and lash out to hurt others, when they seek to destroy relationships and divide others, they are not seeing the true beauty of themselves within. So how can they possibly see the magnificent works of art in others? ALL are natural beauties. Have compassion for them, let go, and forgive.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And how many beholders are there? This is why two people can gaze upon a piece of art and have two different reactions to it. This is beauty at the surface level. Now move awareness from the eyes to the heart. You know goodness when you feel it. You recognize kindness and compassion. This type of beauty is known by all. Those who do not express it have hardened their heart, or put it another way, shut off their awareness of their most intrinsic nature as a result of being hurt. It is a protective measure. Turn up your own compassion when you behold hidden beauty, and we dare say you will help those walls to crumble. You are so very loved."
