To create anything of value, it’s best to create from a place of deep meaning.
Even the Ancients knew that the act of creating was sacred. The Awen (pictured above) was a Druidic concept meant to represent the creative and divine inspiration that flows through an artist while they create. In fact the word Awen literally translates to something like “flowing inspiration” or “flowing essence”:
As a musician & artist myself I can attest to the fact that when I create with deep intent and meaning, the creative energy I’m working with feels as thought it descends from a higher/divine realm. Similar to Edgar Casey (the sleeping prophet), many of the prophetic visions I experience mostly occur during either dreamtime or during an in between wakefulness and dreamlike state of consciousness. things that heighten the frequency and intensity of these experiences are 1) Spending ample time in nature 2) Meditation and energy work and 3) Exercising my creative capabilities: writing music, creating visual art, etc.
Beyond art and music: marriage, making love and bringing children into the world is also a sacred and creative act. Tantra and the close bond between 2 lovers is a sacred and creative act. A woman carrying her own child in her womb for 9 months is a sacred and creative act. Yet contrary to creativity, we now have artificial intelligence and artificial realities. And contrary to human intimacy we have crispr to act as an artificial womb that will create and carry our children for us. How lazy and disconnected. And beyond that, how completely diabolical to replace our humanity with something so cold.
AI does not create from a deep or even a human place. It replicates. I would not be against technology or perhaps even artificial intelligence if it could be used as a tool to leverage human creativity, but any technology we utilize in the future must work with nature and our divine creative capabilities and not against them. We were created in God’s image they say, which means we were created to be creators ourselves. And we were not made to become slaves to a digital system that replicates.
