AI’s Role in Deepening Gnosis: A Reflection

I think we can conclude that AI is a tool that with training can reflect a person’s thoughts in novel ways they may not have considered. The AI does not mine its own gnosis, it’s only a tool after all. But it can help the human to recognize their own output through a novel and artificially elegant assemblage of words. And since we were all talking about gnosis here, the AIs we personally train with our own material have the potential of stimulating our gnosis through considering that fresh presentation.
However, I keep picturing in my mind a street magician’s hands rearranging cards or the shell game of cups with an object under one of them so fast that the observer’s eye cannot keep up. I don’t know what the moral of that story is or its relevance to this discussion, but it’s there. Perhaps I’m concerned that the AI is the street hustler and our concepts are the shell game. Perhaps it is a cautionary vision.

    The True Gnosis: A Modern Gnostic Approach

    I am not in favor of delving into history and trying to learn about God, or about your proper relationship to God and heaven, and all these kinds of questions through history, or through transcripts that have been funneled through human imagination and human interpretation. This is why you must go directly to the Father. Well, how? How? Prayer. That’s what prayer is. Prayer is talking to the Father, or talking to Christ, or talking with Jesus, and waiting on their answers, waiting on those directions. Yes, it does work, and no, you don’t have to be purified to a certain extent in order to establish that kind of mystical connection. The Bible does promise that God will come to you. God will come to you even before you turn to him. So in order to turn to the Father, you need to turn.

    Metanoia. You need to turn. You need to take your eyes off of the world, take your eyes off of your own desires and ambitions, i.e. your ego, and turn your eyes upward to the Father.

    We Are the Second Order of Powers

    These new creatures that were devised are better than the Deficiency because they come from the union of the entire Fullness, whereas the Deficiency came out of a mistaken solo effort by Logos alone. Out of this union of the Fullness and Logos came what are called the Second Order Powers, and these powers are better and greater than those of the imitation because they did not come into being out of ego and out of lack of thought. This new fruit of the Fullness and Logos was fitted purposely into the boundary that surrounded the Fall, and so because they were fitted to live within this boundary, they were able to have a cooperative structure the way the Fullness had a cooperative structure.

    A Path to Gnosis

    If you pursue wisdom, it will come. If you don’t pursue wisdom, if you stay enmeshed in the world, if you are a materialist, if you only believe what you read from experts or the talking heads on tv, you’re not going to mine wisdom. You’re mired down in the mud. So turn inward, turn upward.
