Within years AI has become the household name, Artificial Intelligence is so real, it has the capacity to change human behaviour and interactions for good or bad or both ways.
To be honest, I have no contribution in the development of this scientific breakthrough, though I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and economics.
During my college years, my maths professor, to whom I was also going for private tutoring, mentioned, he has never seen someone suffering so much in maths class, more than me. He suggests that I study something else, more poetic. He sees in me a poet, writer and a philosopher but not an engineer or a technocrat.
Because of my inner reality and life experiences, I don´t hesitate to say, I have developed some capacity, one can say, Spiritual Intelligence. Yes, it is nothing extraordinary nor rocket science.
Keeping this in mind, let me say very clearly, Neo-Sannyas created the lab for Artificial Spiritual Intelligence (ASI)..
What is the foremost symptom of ASI? Going on quoting philosophers and mystics of the last century.
Fact is there is so much discrepancy between the walk and talk of star spiritualists, most probably they died with intact delusions.
One can see, their work has lost most of the real life meaning and impact.
Whether AI or ASI, both are leaving the inner sensibilities dry and juiceless. It is no wonder, in spite of all the prosperity, humans are feeling like existential orphans holding a survival stick called Mobile. We as a human collectives are living not on emotional connections but social media.
Even on this site, how many have got the chance to meet face to face and have a coffee or a beer?
Years ago, with my younger son, we spent just a few hours with Lokesh. They were Real, not artificial.
If I dream about a meeting place of friends, it is not to play a guru selling artificial wisdom but a space where spiritual intelligence is cultivated in one’s own heart and shared with others.
In my heart of hearts, I imagine a world better than the 20th or 21st century till now . Hopefully, evolution will take care.
Humanity does not need self-certified Enlightened but wise people next door.
PS:
In spiritual Intelligence, communication and dialogue are very important. There is always scope for correction and refinement.
I have read this article right through twice. I am unsure what it is all about. It is simply unclear on that level. It is viewed as quite standard for a writer to draw their conclusion in the last paragraph. In this case that is, “Humanity does not need self-certified Enlightened but wise people next door.” Erm…okay, Shantam, anything you say.
Shantam claims that, during his college years, his maths professor viewed him as a poet, writer and a philosopher but not an engineer or a technocrat. Perhaps this conclusion came from an algebra equation that was still in the experimental stage and needed a few kinks ironed out. I say this because I do not in the least view Shantam as a poet, philosopher or writer, particularly not the latter.
The reader is left with a reminder that “In spiritual Intelligence, communication and dialogue are very important. There is always scope for correction and refinement.”
A bit of a generalism, but in Shantam’s case this certainly rings true.
Even though the article does not make a lot of sense, I enjoyed it. Shantam’s maths professor missed the obvious. Shantam is a comedian.
Are the fellow commentators contemplating over the contents of this article?
If there is no readymade quotation about AI or ASI from the literature of last century, one can create a few.
Shantam, I waited a couple of days to reflect on what Lokesh wrote, who knows you best here.
Not knowing you, I don’t know if the irony I perceive in your post includes you as well, or if the core of your argument is serious, that is, not self-deprecating.
You apparently invite members of the neo-sannyasin movement to leave the ASI lab and meet people in person, people you know only thanks to this lab, which exists thanks to the vast spiritual science produced by a scientist you accuse of not having applied it to his own life.
Since your professor saw you as more of a poet than a mathematician, and since logical reasoning is a resource in an artificial intelligence lab, if you’re not being ironic, then I don’t understand the point of you entering a lab every day for 15 years, unless you, in such a lab, only went in to hand out samosas to the scientists during chai breaks, also finding time to recite some of your poems.
Since your poetry often focuses on the life and science to which the laboratory is dedicated, denouncing flaws in the management (not only financial) of the central hub, this may preclude the scientists from accepting your invitation to leave the laboratory and share real emotions with you…
Lokesh did so, and he preferred the man behind the poet. This means that before accepting the date with you, your poetry, at least in your intentions, must have struck a chord with him, but this is not the case with me.
In my opinion, if you want your invitation to be heard, you should first provide some clues about the man’s path, because this isn’t immediately clear from your poetry.
One might meet you and, as you say, be left with the delusions intact.
Sw. Veet fFrancesco, is there anyone on this site who knows you?
Are you on facebook or insta with your real face and identity?
One of the main symptoms of Artificial Spiritual Intelligence is to remain hidden in the veil of anonymity or create fictitous names.
All the sannyas names are fictitous.
The name change experiment has produced artifical personalites.
Usually, Shantam, you don’t meet Osho’s people through Facebook (I don’t have any social media platforms of that kind; I was one of the last to buy a mobile phone with internet, and only because the company where I worked communicated via WhatsApp) but through municipalities and meditation centres of the Master of Masters.
If you want, meet me there.
These are very violent times, full of people full of Zionist, Nazi, fundamentalist, pro-vaccination propaganda, etc. Even in civilized Holland, you could be welcomed by the same assholes seen in action in the USA, Israel, Portugal, Germany…
I don’t know how you absorb the mainstream narrative, but I prefer not to risk it; I’m a bit reactive myself:

Shantam, frankly, in my experience, any kind of such a place you are dreaming of happens either when someone has absolutely undisputed existential as well as undisputed / disputed financial backing & all of that happens quite effortlessly.
Maybe initially even the supposed Gurus who created such places also had a dream like yours!
Btw, never before seen or heard anyone put so much written effort regarding such a dream!
Since I am not in any kind of astrology! Would only wish you the best always.
Somehow can’t relate to this AI / ASI, to me all technology is part of Existence & No-techno / Naturalness is beyond probably comprehensiveness, which we humans tend to comhrehend!
