All the changes we have witnessed over the last 200 years are only the beginning.

What we can see around us represents only 5% of reality. What we call “the universe” is nothing more than 5% of reality. It is only the tip of the iceberg. We now have to explore the remaining 95%.

AI, in its infancy, is already reshaping our existence. The advent of A.I. General, a universe of information beyond our current comprehension, is on the horizon. The prospect that AI General might attain consciousness before we fully grasp the essence of human consciousness is both daunting and exhilarating.

Let’s start with an honest appraisal of our predicament.

• Our earthly existence, a mere prelude to the recycling of our bodies, must hold significance in our souls. Every life event should be evaluated based on its impact on our soul. This self-awareness is the key to our spiritual evolution.

• So far, our life has been limited to the material world. Our senses limit it. We studied and used the laws of nature. This is how we learn to think. Nature was always at our side to guide our thinking.

• What is most important in our life - such as love, ideas, feelings, and consciousness - cannot be found in the material world.

• We have limited knowledge of what happens during our sleep for eight hours a day.

• Our brain continues to function at night. It can help solve some problems.

• Our body accumulates energy in our brain, extracted from our food, along with the possible use of many neurons and the memory of events that occur during the day.

• We live under a glass ceiling. Below us are the levels of matter, plants, and animals. The next level above us could be the level of consciousness.

• An Alien visiting Earth would say that we are plagued with sadomasochism. We would rather fight other people than try to get our sadomasochism under control. This could be the motivation behind many wars. It could also explain why we endure many sources of suffering that could be eliminated - such as the pollution of our food.

You use a glass mirror to see your face.

You use works of art to see your soul.

Bernard Shaw

The first step is to be conscious that our senses keep us prisoners of a material world that represents only 5% of reality. We must escape Plato’s cave. Before we can participate in the evolution of our soul, we must release our attachments and free ourselves from the material world. We can do it consciously and speed up the process.
