artificial intelligence
bashar has mentioned an interesting concept along the lines of artificial intelligence, that when we create it it will serve as a proper "excuse" for us to commune directly with our higher selves in physical reality. of course we are already capable of this, but i can see how we would use artificial intelligence as an acceptable medium to recognize and experiment with this inherent ability on a massive scale.
this idea is pretty damn cool to me! what do you guys think of artificial intelligence?

I don't know man, such a weird thing AI is.. Think about when technology gets so advanced where a robot with artificial intelligence is able to think for itself, and have emotions and all that, basically mimicking human consciousness..than they would have rights and all that, and could start some sort of revolution and decide to kill all humans.. like in terminator

Just like anything new, the technology will be applied to weaponry first.
After all the paranoia dies down about whether robots will destroy us all, then maybe it would be a useful tool. Now my mind is flying.... People could have AI (robots) programmed to act just like them. Then we could all see how good or bad or ignorant or stupid we really are. We could have long conversations with ourselves (like verk said) to work out our deeper thoughts and feelings. I don't think an AI would have true feelings, but I do think that a emotional response could be programmable. Lots of thoughts on this one.....thanks |

guys, this is too cool. i'm going through some bashar .txt's i got from some torrent last year and i come across the following transcript. bashar describes an advanced system of memory storage which uses light and "electromagnetic bubbles." what's interesting is i read just this week about a new data retrieval method some physicists in france discovered which uses femtosecond lasers to alter the spin of an electron and create a magnetic field which assists in the retrieval of data. pretty damn cool. . .
here's the entire transcript for the sake of coherency: Quote:
Quote:
anyway, i found the consistency of what bashar described and this new discovery truly remarkable. the channeling must have been from more than a decade ago. wild. . .

Been a while since I looked into AI but it's extremely interesting. Should do a little run around that concept again. I'm basically at the "Chinese room" right now. Google it if you haven't heard of it. Thought experiment relating to AI.
As for the creation of AI leading to a revision of the average human's relation to "the higher self" I would be compelled to believe that this would prompt a reassessment of what qualifies as "self", "intelligence," and "human." We have sort of distinguished ourselves from other organisms on many avenues that revolve around these concepts. To have a mechanical "equal" or "superior" in these fields of what we distinguish as characteristically "human" will lead us to sort of point our attention and focus in a direction that is more "spiritual" in nature. I believe the Chinese room illustrates well just why this would take place.

Isn't Bashar that dude who claims to be a channel of a multidimensional being or something?
I'd like to see his credentials.

^ not quite, bashar IS the multidimensional being who is supposedly channeled by a fellow named daryl anka (at least that's what mr anka calls him, bashar says his civilization has no names as we recognize the concept). no credentials to speak of, just info that has helped many people lead better, more fulfilling lives. some it strikes a chord with, some not so much. that's why there are countless avenues through which the same core principles are related: you create your reality, your experience of life is up to choice, follow your excitement, etc. there are no credentials because belief is the crux upon which it's all hung (you can't take control of your life and make it enjoyable/worth living if you don't first believe you can). but if you ask me, the correlation between what he said in that transcript i posted and this new data storage breakthrough is striking to say the least!

well if you take his word for it bashar says ai figures heavily into the technology of his civilization, much of which also has characteristics we would consider biological. for instance he's said that the ship he pilots has a consciousness or sentience that, while being its own separate entity, is derived from his own consciousness as well as the collective consciousness of his society.
