"AI cannot learn true feelings."  In this conversation Teresa, Tom and Tiger explore the challenges of discerning truth in an age dominated by AI and fake news.  AI is a glorified tool of our intellect.   It can be a great help on planet earth, but needs be balanced with true feelings and experience.  Your inner wisdom.  

The conversation also emphasizes being able to reach out, connect and trust one's Inner Guidance and finding personal truth for clear relaxed personal direction amidst  information overload.  

They give personal examples from their everyday life which reinforced their trust in their spiritual Helpers.  Some areas discussed:

  • With all the technology in the world today, how can you discern what's truth?
  • Finding truth starts with discerning your own true feelings.
  • It's my responsibility to know what I need and how to use technology.
  • AI cannot learn true feelings, only humans can.
  • What is the difference between "my truth," fit with truth?
  • Trusting your instincts is essential in navigating life.
  • AI can be a tool for service, not a master.
  • Stay relaxed; there's no reason to pressure yourself.
  • Finding personal truth is crucial in a world of chaos.

With all the technology in the world today, especially with AI, how can you discern for yourself what's the truth and what's fake news? Hopefully in this episode, you're gonna come away with some insights for yourself. That's what we're gonna chat about today. So lately there's been a lot of fake news that I've noticed. And one this specific week was with Elon Musk. I opened up my browser and the first thing that came up was about

how Elon Musk was leaving everything aside. He was going on. He was going off and doing his own thing. And and then down the road in this article said, you know, is this truth or is this fake? So it was almost like as if it was asking myself to go, well, I need to really start discerning what's real and what's not real. And I know this has been going on for quite a few years now, especially with the covid stuff and the vaccine stuff and all the things going on around the world with that situation.

what's real and what's not real. Yeah. mean, for me, finding the truth, being a theme is really brings me back to starting with what I, I feel and what I need and getting facts on that. And where I get in trouble is when I, when I start leading, letting my concepts, letting my, the outer ideas,

try to work things around that rather than working with just the base facts and then bringing stuff in the ideas in so it's almost like my ideas getting conflict with the facts on the ground so it's kind of like me arguing with gravity because there should be anti-gravity so we can get out of planet earth or whatever it's okay but i have to start with some facts somewhere

the basis of things about gravity. So that to me, that's what's really starting to stand out to me just on the initial wave. Yeah, we brought up AI, artificial intelligence, you know, a few times in these episodes and podcasts that we've done. And what struck me recently when Teresa brought it up in our green room was that, yeah, it, seems to be getting worse, not better in terms of, you know, the fake

either reels or news or whatever. And it struck me because I do some work in that industry where the AI is beginning to be implemented into people's personal computing devices and phones and so forth. And I can see the positives in it. It can help us work faster and more efficiently in some ways. And I also see, and we've utilized it a bit,

you know, terms of writing tools and things. But I can see where we're going to be raising a gen like one thought in my mind was going to raise some generations that really are going to be trained to look at AI for their reference points, you know, and for their for their research. And as you and I were driving back from a gig that I had last week or so.

You know, we were, we were testing some stories on AI, just, you know, doing some general questions, like what was the most popular story? And we really saw incredible bias on both sides of the scale. And we couldn't, you know, I was like, my God, and this is like a mainstream, you know, AI platform and which I know certain things to be not, you know, correct.

And I could just imagine, you know, a 14, 15, 18 year old, you know, doing that research and just buying because they're going to be, you know, there's so much emphasis on the outer telling you just like when we were told when you write your term papers and so forth, go research it in the library, find out what somebody else said, add that as a footnote. And now you've got more credibility because it was written down someplace. guess what pops into my mind about this is that

that it feeds of the collective. Naivete, meant? Naivete, did I say that wrong? It's French. There you go, French. It's not Teresa, it's French. But how that feeds the person depending upon where they're at in their consciousness. So there's some people that it doesn't matter what's the truth, I'm just gonna go with that. And that's all I'm gonna go with until something down the road happens and well, gee.

you know, maybe I shouldn't have made that assumption or made that choice because of that, but they do. And I know too, that there's a statement, especially with like in the spiritual realm that, know, the, when you really come across understanding spirituality and the truth for yourself and what you're kind of saying, Tom is also that inner pivot, right? What's my inner truth? How do I pivot from that point in, is it real or is not real for me?

And once you pass that threshold, then you cannot not unsee what's there. You cannot unsee the truth, but how does that feel to you? How does that feel within you when you do see the truth out there or not see the truth out there? And so I think that's really comes to me is I know a lot of people that are bent one way or the other and different sides of different spectrums and

but they're okay with it and they know what that's okay. If that's the realm they want to live in is not understanding maybe a different perspective of it, but that's really what we're bringing forth here and our sharings is having a different perspective around things you might see out in the world and especially like today with AI. Yeah. I mean with AI, I mean we're there. It's a very emerging technology and it's kind of in its teenage stage where it's trying to

push the boundaries and figure itself out and all that kind of thing. we're going to get it. mean, time's right. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I will get better. So I'm not worried about that part, but it is reality that dependency and starting to look outside of myself for things and not trusting myself becomes more prevalent.

So, we have a friend of ours, you know, and, he used to say, you know, with the, not only with the AI, but with certain these ability to just search some stuff on the phone and this guy, it's like it's thrown our sensitivity back decades as a people. that's a really interesting point to me because it's like now we're the trust we have to rely on. It's like being out on the ocean, right? If you're, if you, if anyone who has been out in the ocean and have a sailboat or something,

as opposed to a mechanical thing. There's nothing but trust. That's all you've got. So to me, number one, it's a great thing to recognize that here's this technology that we're creating. It's gonna be very helpful. I'm with you guys. I use it for great searches, but I do have to learn myself what it is I'm talking about.

Cause otherwise I will go off on a tangent based on the information that the AI has or it's operating off of. And here's the other part that really I think I have to be sensitive to my team has to be sensitive to is bias. There is going to be the movement toward bias. mean, that's even now when you feel like if you went to a YouTube video,

and you started clicking on certain types of videos, it's going to start lining up all those types of videos and behaviors in that direction. So it's up to me. It is my responsibility. It is not the responsibility of AI. It's not the responsibility of some big corporation. It is my responsibility to know what I need and where I'm going and how to be of service with that.

As long as I, I'm digging my little soap box here, but as long as I use these things like AI, like YouTube, like the systems, like money, if all as I remember that they're all there to help me be of service, there's a means to an end, then everything will work out, right? Through the ups and downs. But if I don't work with it like that, I'm going to start trusting.

something outside of myself, I will create another God out there. I think that's where we kind of get to is that there's that, those poss, that possibility exists that for some folks, they're going to buy into AI knows all and it's almost like a concept where, you know, they want to believe that, you know, that we, there's, there's this

It's like a false security in the security that there's something out there that I can rely on, whether it's my family or my government or my environment, or my boss or whatever. And then you find out, well, they have their self interests, like we talked about in a previous episode. And as long as they align, you know, I can probably rely on them. So, yeah, it's, it's, think.

I see it is just, you know, a convenient intellectual, you know, part of my intellect. And I don't have to memorize as much if I can check, you know, on the computer and I can get answers quicker than I used to be able to get them. Yeah, you know, just popped in my mind that this is another setup of an opportunity to really come into trusting. Yeah.

and really coming into working with that sensitivity, whether it be you're working with your team of support or working with your force psychic perceptions, whatever it is, this is the perfect opportunity. And then it's also around, you know, where you're at and how you're going to either accept it or not work with it. But in the realm of the spiritual realm, you know, there's been so many, so many, it's the last, you know, what, two decades about, we're at this place of great change.

And many of us who are very sensitive are feeling lots of change going on. Well, this is part of it. Yeah. So this is just really the, the intellectual part of the little part, the, the AI part meeting us as far as where we're at spiritually. Yes. And giving us the opportunity to go, okay, you know, I trust that what I'm hearing or what I'm reading on my phone is truth for me or not, or how much more am I going to take that deeper into what, you know, what I believe.

So it's really just an opportunity. And I'm highlighting, I'm interested in this because we talk a lot about, you know, in, our literature, in our courses, we talk a lot about that balance between thought and feeling or the intellect and the feeling nature of the head and the heart and all that good stuff. This is an example of advancing forward based on the intellect. Right. And so to be specific AI is going to be able to

push numbers that we hadn't put through before, it's going to be able to move things, advance things, you know, to way past where we are currently. AI can learn so much intellectual stuff. AI can learn emotions. They'll be able to, AI can learn emotions, because that's a form of the intellect. But AI cannot learn

true feelings. And that is a huge distinction that as a human being, as a soul, I have that need to come back to what is true feelings. When I hear the word truth, I have to come right back to what I feel, not from like, a, a disassociation with society or other people. Like I can go, it can go negative where it's like my truth compared to your truth. Like the

We can get into that thing too, but the positive part of that is my truth is going to guide me to where I need to be. It's going to guide me on my journey. So to me, that energy of AI is going to allow the intellect and everything that relates around that world to accelerate. And it just means that I need to be in my feelings more.

It needs to, I need to be really crystal clear with where I begin and end how I'm feeling today. Okay. What do I want to do about that? I don't feel that great. What do want to do about that? Like all that's in the feeling realm, right? Those simple, almost oversimplified things, but yet a blow right past it and wake up in the morning and start to think before I even like. Feel so true. And, the language of spirit.

you know, spirits reminding me as we're sharing is feelings. We can't take our intellect out, back out into the universe. It's, you know, part of earth. And it's just a, it's almost like a machine that we have, you know, to help with the physical body, biological situation. So that's where spirit can reveal a lot to me, if I just tune into what am I feeling, you know, at those times when I'm calm and relaxed and

or all of a sudden to get one of those aha moments and that little light bulb, you know, flashes. And of course we have a lot of materials to help people develop that part of themselves or reawaken their feeling parts. Because when we come in, in our first seven years, I mean, we're all feeling and then we start programming that brain and so forth. So another thought that occurred to me is that, you know, if you have a really, if you're really organized and you have a well-developed intellect,

And you're out of balance with the intellect is just let's, let's grow your feeling part to be in matching with it. And vice versa. If you have a lot of feeling, just organize yourself a bit more to get back in balance. So none of it's bad or evil or, you know, wrong. It's just a matter of expanding with it. So in a way that's going to be interesting to watch us expand our feeling nature, our sensitivity.

along with all these intellectual tools that we have, you know, to work with while we're here. Well, that's interesting because as I was reading that mess, that thing about Elon, the story that I saw, was feeling I was feeling I'm like, that feels weird. Like, why would he give up everything, right? And like walk away. And it talked about him going on like literally going to an island and living on an island, you know, with his family, whatever. But

And I just, was like, that doesn't feel right. So again, there's an opportunity with fake news and or AI chat, GPT, whatever you're interacting with is what does it feel like as you're reading or looking at news on, on YouTube or something and, really getting a sense for yourself, how that works with your feeling gift. Why don't we all share about, you know, how we discern our feelings or how do we recognize those things? Like, what does it feel like for people?

Well, was, was going to tell you, you're picking me up. I was going to tell this quick story of how I, going back to the theme of trust, right? Cause this is, the people that are in, diff have different faiths and go to, you know, church, synagogue temple. They, they, they understand that concept, the faith and the trust and the belief. And that's, to me, that's a lot of what we're talking about of coming back to my true feelings, talking about.

trusting the bigger picture. And I had a situation once where I had to, it was kind of relatively simple, but I had to get some documents signed and it was, you know, government, you had to go to these government things and get the stamps and stuff like that for a house. And I went, you know, went, had plenty of times like, you know, early morning, you know, I went up to the

got my breakfast and then I went up to this place and you have to stand in line and all these places. And, know, by the time I finally got to the place, you know, I, it's like after lunch, I'm like, man, so they gave me this, this thing that I need. they said, by the way, you need one more piece to get this done. And I said, okay. Well, what's the extra piece? He said, well, okay, we'll give you this piece. You need to go back and get X, Y, Z number, whatever. And then you have to go get this other stamp.

And I went, okay. And I, all right, I'll go do that. And then as I'm walking, said, and that to get that stamp, it's across town. Right. And so this is Friday. Yeah. And so I'm thinking, right. I still feel I have some time. So anyway, I go back to the house. I got to eat something. I'm starting to, my visionary part, my visionary parts, the part that picks up timing, right. Early. I can feel myself getting under pressure. It's I'm sensing that the timing's off.

Anyway, I get this thing and now I'm looking and that because it's Friday, the traffic starts building. yeah. And so I'm out the door now. It is like two o'clock, I think around that time. And I just come to this place. It's construction on the road. Everything stopped. I'm like, my God. And, I went and did this. Okay. I'm going to trust. I'm going to trust. And I've got.

I know what the truth is. I got to get there. I got to do this thing. I'm going to trust. Right. So I started checking it out spiritually, like working with my helpers. Okay. Do I go here? Do I go ahead? Like literally do I turn right, turn left to try to get around this mess? And so I would do it. And then, you know, I'd kind of get off in a back road and it's like, this isn't working. And then I, know, no, no, I'm going keep trusting. know, and it takes me to another place, take me to another place and I'm all over that. mean, it's like,

I like intellectually, it did not make any sense and I'm getting frustrated in my head and I'm having this ping pong match in my head. Like, no, no, no, keep trusting, but this isn't working. You know, that whole thing going up anyway. It's I've been sitting in the car now for an hour and a half. And if anybody has worked with government buildings, you know, they shut down early on Friday. I mean, even though it says to open till four or 30, it's you'd be lucky to get anybody there. Right. So I'm getting to this time. We started to worry about.

And I find myself, I finally started resolving myself to say, I'm just going to follow. So even though the, voices and all the thoughts would come in, I know, okay, no, I would dismiss it get back. I finally come up to this place where I'm up to this, in this, one of those industrial park areas. I'm like, my God, what is this? And I look and across the fence, I see the building I'm trying to get to. yeah.

I mean, this is like a true story. And I went from here and I okay. And I do know that that whole road is closed. So how do I get there? So I look around and I see there's a hole in the fence. Wow. So I parked the car, right? I get my little, I get my little pack with all my stuff. I got a time, you know, running in there. I come finally go through parking lots, go up to the government building and I'm rocked right up there. It's like four.

20 something, right? And I grabbed the doors and it's locked. I'm like, wait a minute, God, and I'm kind of a little frustrated. And this lady comes over, she goes, points at her watch, you know, and I go, and I kind of make a big deal out of it. go, you know, put my hands up like praying, oh, please, like that. And she kind of laughs. And then she comes in and she opens the door. What do need, honey?

And I said, listen, all I need is just, brought all this stuff from the other place. They told me I had to come here and I just need a stamp. And she goes, you're going to need more than that. I go, what do you mean? Well, there's a couple of checks off you got to do. I went, God, here we go. And she says, but come with me. And anyway, she locked the door behind us. It turns out the lady is the manager of the building for all of the departments.

And she systematically walked me through every single, I went to three different departments and got the stamps from each one. I paid her the whole thing and walked out. And I was on a high for a whole week after that experience. Meaning that I knew who was calling when the phone rang. Wow. Yeah. I was.

found myself was turned on, at the right place at the right time kind of thing. When someone was talking about something, I knew actually what they needed because I put myself through that belief that I'm going to follow this truth. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I had to go through all that. And then it was interesting because by the near the end of the week, I could feel it slip away. Like I wasn't maintaining it as high as I could have.

But that energy of following that truth, following my true feelings of how that can sustain me that one incident of what would be what four and a half hours carried me for a whole week. It carried it like I could do no wrong for a whole week, just for four hours worth of work. What about you, Tom? Well, what strikes me is how when I when I

take a moment to tune into my feelings. How do I feel about something? And you know, that's a good example. There's a, there's a, I did it just, I think yesterday, actually, I was driving into, you know, the city and I needed to be at someplace by 10 and I just went, have I, or the day before, am I, am I going to make it with the weather that we had and so forth, right? And I tuned into it and it's like,

I could see I'm a visionary. that's I see him, you know, clairvoyant or clear seeing, you know, I get those in my mind's eye and I could see like 10 minutes till the hour. That was the impression that just came through and guess what? And I actually thought I got there a bit earlier, but by the time I got out of the car had sorted my stuff I'm going to bring with me and I walked in and it was exactly that time.

So, but two things from that was I was relaxed as I moved through it. And it was one of those examples where like time and time again, I, when I bother to sit down and ask myself, I innately know whether I'm going to make it or not make it. And also in terms of articles and truth, you know, I just kind of, for me as a visionary, doesn't

I can't quite see that it doesn't seem right. And, it, suppose as an intuitive, it's like what you just heard might not ring true or for somebody high in feeling. It's doesn't feel right. There's something missing there. so, and maybe with that prophetic part of us, it would be just, they know it's all bullshit because that's, they just know.

You know, they don't pay attention anyway. They have a good laugh about the story and move on, I suppose. So how would you say you experienced it? You share with us yet? Well, I would say for myself with trust that I've always just trusted your feelings, my feelings. And even when I was younger and I had no idea about my psychic perceptions or working with guidance or energy or anything.

I just always trusted and it seems like from then even to these days, I'm in the right place at the right time making the right decisions. And sometimes it might be a little off, but then it turns out, that wasn't quite off. It was something that I needed to experience in order for the next thing to happen. for myself, I've just been, I guess, honestly blessed with the fact that I don't have a lot of religious concepts around something outside of me trying to control me or anything like that. It's just like, I just kind of move with it.

And that's the truth. Yeah, that's the truth. So in wrapping this up about AI fake news, last last comment. Yeah, I mean, I think you you led with that whole sticking with the truth and discerning from that pivot point. And if I'm tapped into our bigger picture, you know that who I am, where I came from, where I'm going, I go right back up to that, that reality, that truth.

then it makes a whole lot easier to navigate. And because everyone is going to have a unique piece because they have their own life purpose. So what is perfect for me is not going to be perfect for Bob or Sally. And what's perfect for Sally or Bob is not going to be perfect for me. So there is going to be that diversity of what they see as true and what I see as true.

But there is going to be that unified truth, that common denominator, the facts. I'm using those two things in conjunction, the truth and facts, because if I know the bigger picture of who I am, what I've come to do, then it start everything else settles down. And this whole AI thing will become of service to me rather than me become a servant to it.

or I start to discern the difference between my emotions and my true feelings, all this because I do have that bigger picture truth and it's married to me. I'm with it. I'm one with it. I don't let that get pulled away from me. So that's the kind of the wrap up for me when it comes to this truth and then the whole AI stories and stuff, how important it is to just come back home. Well, for me, it's realizing that, you know, when my intellect is in constant

with what my true feelings are. That's where that like feeling disoriented or not sure or nervous or ill at ease kind of a thing. But the more that I trust my instincts, you might say, when I'm relaxed and really into my feelings, I've already expressed my emotion. Like, ding it, I don't want to be late and look at what they're doing.

Relax. Okay. Now what do I really feel like? there is some time, there's some hope I can feel there's an avenue there. And then and if I follow through and move with it, and stay relaxed, I guess as long as I make myself the priority that no matter what I'm going through, what I'm, you know, kind of keep re experiencing is just stay relaxed, because there's never, especially the older I get, there's never a reason to put myself under pressure for it.

And, you know, sometimes it might be like, Hey, I did leave it too late. I kind of had that feeling before I left. And now I've just learned more about my sensitivity. So away we go. Yeah. And so we hope that you have enjoyed this episode and perhaps got some insights for yourself on clarity with maybe working with your psychic perceptions, trusting with your guidance, trusting your inner pivot as you move forward with fake news. What is AI showing you on your phone?
