Several weeks ago, Paul dissected the good and the bad of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the tech side on Spirit Gym with tech consultant/UX researcher Rachel Miles.

A huge question remained unanswered after that conversation: How do we retain our humanity amid the avalanche of AI tech?

Venture capitalist, entrepreneur and first-time author Jeff Burninhgam embraces the answer to that very question in his book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI.

Jeff explains why the presence of AI is an important reminder to embrace our humanity and how the beauty in life is not trying to achieve perfection but to relish in its messiness and imperfection this week on Spirit Gym.

Remember the good ol’ days in elementary school when your teacher introduced you to haiku, a Japanese form of poetry based on syllables, not rhyming?

Psychotherapist and author Anne Helfer describes haiku as the rap of expressive writing that unlocks the door to emotions hidden deep inside and leads to even deeper healing.

Anne explains how the 5-7-5 formula behind haiku is a simple healing exercise in mindfulness and why more people should follow her Silver Rule this week on Spirit Gym.

In this pharmaceutical drug obsessed culture we live in, could you ever imagine a gentler, healthier approach to treating chronic headaches starting with an appendix scar?

CHEK Professional Matt Sorensen explains why most health problems like pain originate from dysfunctions to the glands and organs which illustrates why health practitioners need to look for complications from the inside — not the outside — this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Matt at his HealHub website. Check out his The Wizard and The Priestess podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to them. Find him on social media via Instagram.

There is very little in the practice of holistic health that has escaped the attention of Dr. Christiane Northrup over the past quarter-century.

Christiane has experienced the huge highs as a highly successful New York Times best-selling author and a favorite of many (including Oprah Winfrey) to the dark days of COVID when her once-coveted advice was censored and ignored.

Fortunately, none of the recent pushback has silenced Dr. Christiane Northrup who describes a plandemic gone bad and all of the problems associated with women’s health, including the misuse of synthetic hormones, this week on Spirit Gym.

Are you living a robotic, automated life and unable or unwilling to do the work of being truly conscious?

With tools like quantum physics at your disposal, you can begin to dissolve the structures and programming that prevent you from achieving your life’s goals and helping others.

33:52 In the subtext of quantum physics, there’s no distinction between mind and matter.

What you don’t know about artificial intelligence (AI) can really harm you (and your health). Considering there’s so much misinformation everywhere you look and AI is a real thing you can’t avoid, managing your digital footprint is vital… so where do you begin?

Tech consultant and UX researcher Rachel Miles returns to dissect the pros and cons of AI and how it can be a valuable tool so long as you use it properly this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Rachel and her expertise in AI and other computing technologies at her Renaissance Rachel and Conscious Navigator websites. Check out Rachel’s free AI course — Navigate AI Consciously in 7 Days — at this link.

9:53 The great equalizer.

21:24 Artificial intelligence is no more or less than a large pattern synthesis engine that has been trained on lots of data and is not conscious.

31:22 Humans need to stay in the loop on AI development so we don’t give it too much power over our lives.

41:47 Avoiding AI tools completely and not understanding them make you much you more vulnerable to manipulation.

55:48 Did you know AI (or Google) doesn’t generate completely accurate information?

1:06:21 Bad algorithms and coding lead to biased, non-factual data.

1:14:07 It takes a lot of computing power to train AI models.

1:23:49 The environmental cost of AI versus the benefits.

1:30:20 AI is designed to give you answers and opinions even when it’s wrong.

Paul has spoken at length about his daily health regimen that has prevented him from missing a day of work for more than 40 years. That is, until one day six months ago when he became sicker and weaker than he ever has in his entire working life…

Immediately, Paul recognized some of his symptoms were ones attributed to COVID, but others came in attacks from spiritual entities, including one that penetrated his body for the very first time.

Paul shares his spiritual experiences with author, researcher and Anthroposophy expert Thomas Mayer as they examine the COVID pandemic through the lens of spiritual science this week on Spirit Gym.

2:05:41 “If you have the intention, you can do something…”

2:19:02 Paul’s bout with COVID lasted about 15 days.

2:23:14 What happens to your soul after you die post-COVID when taking drugs like vaccines or ones to hasten suicide?
