The Rise of the Machines
/The rise of AI can be seen as nothing more than the illusion believing itself to be real and creating life like the source it emanates from. Similar to a dream within a dream, AI allows the dreamer to reinforce separation and the belief that the dream is real by saying, “look, surely something temporal couldn’t create something and as it has, then it must be real.” Nothing is further from the truth. Like the Icarus effect, we are flying too close to the sun. Not realising that we are designed to overreach and in that falling from grace, we may see who we truly are. What, then, does the turbulence of this age, from the rise of AI to conflict around the world, offer us? Simply this. An opportunity to know who we truly are.
