As someone who has worked with dreams for decades I ask the above question. Having said that, of course AI can never replace part of creation but having listened to the other plans from the stage of the World Economic Forum et al delivered to the clapping minions in the audience, one has to wonder… or, is that stage and audience an AI creation.. such is my mistrust. Indeed I believe Klaus Schwab stated ‘ we are the new gods’ in one speech which is just as disturbing as Yuval Harari’s well known ‘human beings are just hackable animals’.
The Collective Unconscious is what Carl Jung termed as the collective psyche of all humans built upon generations and the source of primordial imagery, or what he termed the Archetypes. I personally see it as also the unseen structure and repository of all things. I think it is from whence the answers in divination come from as well as the imagery in our dreams and so much more.
From asking AI for information to seeking the deeper answers therein is not such a leap is it? After all, a quick definitive answer is what we need in these modern times of the short attention span and dopamine hungry majority. AI as the the new soothsayer; I am sure with its knowledge of human psychology, it will give you just the answer you want.
Rejoice people, no effort involved!
Apologies for being somewhat disparaging about humanity, I actually think we are amazing. However this disturbing picture seems an obvious development and suited to populations already entrained and effected by the gene therapy injections, the chemicals in our food and environment and electromagnetic bombardment. If we are to live limited to Smart cities away from nature, animals and privacy and have the Sun blocked, not all will be indeed healthy, nor happy just playing video games and watching screens. Humans need meaning and maybe AI is intended as a poor substitute to the inner world of the unconscious.
I think this is the logical trajectory of Transhumanism. The Transhumanists seek to make life technological and it seems are doing everything in their power to monetise the natural World, including humans. The human connectedness to the unseen is an amazing resource but to aim to satiate that unquenchable thirst for mystery, truth and beauty innate in human beings by replacing the natural with the unnatural is sick and illogical. Or, maybe the Transhumanists know something I don’t and really love life? Let me know if any of you are out there. Maybe the alien species who have been using us for a food source are coming all out and this is humanity’s only hope? Do tell us, we can take it, after all, we are used to suffering and bad news.
In the event I do not hear a logical explanation... I cite entrainment to what I call creeping nihilism, especially in the Arts. I cite the obliteration of compassion via violent video games and the film industry. I cite the ongoing culling of life. I cite while doing these things, bizarrely, a promotion of hypersensitivity in media to the cult of celebrity so called. Narcissism reigns and celebration of materialism over virtue. Result; a gaslighted humanity so fearful of losing their sanity that many choose not to think about why life is so awful and are thus disempowered. Behind closed doors, optimism and empathy they cannot afford when they are starved of it themselves.
So I would like to encourage an even greater awareness to all who seek meaning to appreciate the Unconscious part of life, the unseen that is more influential in human activities than we realise. The Collective Unconscious is where we are all connected and explains Rupert Sheldrake’s Morphic Resonance and the Mattias Desmet, Mass Formation theory which Jung termed mass psychosis.
Through dreams one can connect and be aware of the other part of life, the inner World that can, not only inform, balance, ground and empower the individual but open awareness to the wholeness, beauty and mystery of our very being.
The awareness of the inner and outer interplay of the human psyche is to start the journey to wholeness. Taking the dreams you have seriously, will bring rewards, the unconscious responds and the World rejoices at another awakened consciousness. Seek and you shall find.
