Intuitive Intelligence – Better than Artificial Intelligence
The news cycles these days are brimming with how Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm. There are tall predictions and fat hopes for how AI will change our lives forever, primarily because of their ability to use vast amounts of data, analyze information at very high speeds and make decisions that humans make today. In other words, replace the form of human intelligence that human beings have with intelligence that is supposedly more powerful. And likely much better because it makes fewer or no errors, with no bias and of course no emotions involved.
A couple of days ago, there was an article about Google used AI to create the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
A while ago, I had written a fairly long account of how Robots will force us to meditate more. The same verdict holds here too. AI is pushing human beings to find something superior and better than the kind of intelligence that AI is going to replace very soon or has already. Case in point above, who needs bakers who struggle around experimenting how to bake great chocolate chip cookies? AI can take over that and do it much better.
But there is another form of intelligence that very few people know about, it’s better either artificial intelligence or the human intelligence that’s acquired through learning, training, and experience. This is the intelligence we tap into through our power of intuition within us.
Dealing with colds and the flu season
Today I’ll start off a little bit about meditation and how it can help with colds and allergies but then move on to share my learnings and experiences on effective ways to deal with winter colds and the flu season. While there are so many different solutions and remedies, I’ve listed some of the most potent remedies which have worked very well for me.
And it’s really important to do that because, lots of people try so many remedies without really understanding how powerful or potent each one is, relative to the others.
Meditation and the Unconscious mind
Ever wonder how we zip through periods of time during our day when we only recall beginning to perform some activity but only have a recollection of the instant of time when we’re done with the activity? Or only getting back our attention a little bit into the next activity that succeeded it? The reason for this is because a lot of our routine activities are being done by us almost unconsciously – we do them well and correctly and don’t even notice that we’re performing them.
The unconscious mind has intrigued scientists for a long time and they have come up with several plausible conclusions such as how the unconscious mind is responsible for our immune function and heart rate and how it fights any risk or threat it perceives to us, amongst many other things.
Close to 5 decades of Sahaja practitioner experience, as well as some of our own research, has led us to demystify many things related to the UnConscious, some of which overlap and resonate with what others have found.
From Fake News and Alternative Facts to a Common Truth
Sahaja Establishes A Common Universality in Our Perception
“Fake news” was recently made the official word in the Collins dictionary. No doubt, we’re almost tired of discussing this phrase by now because so much has been said and analyzed on this topic. “Alternative fact” was used by a slightly less popular personality, that’s probably the only reason it didn’t make it to the dictionary as well.
The bigger questions facing us are – why did such a concept as “Fake News” become so popular when it is clear that anything untrue should automatically disappear soon as it makes its emergence? Shouldn’t collective wisdom be able to see what’s true and what it isn’t? Why does something fake even make it all the way to become news and then be labeled as “fake news”? Could it be possible that our civilization has a genuine difference in perception? Before you jump off your chair and say “These are exceptional times created by one individual” or “Fake News” is not the norm, let’s explore some related examples of this concept.
Robots will Force Us to Meditate More
The debate rages on. Are robots and automation going to take away a majority of our jobs very soon? Will Artificial Intelligence do most of our brain work in the future? Then there is the talk of education and training in newer areas and skills to meet new demands. Can people leading normal lives and earning their livelihood match the pace of change about to come upon us?
But what does the journey of meditation, spirituality, and self-improvement have to do with all this? Quite a lot, apparently. Here at Sahaja Online, our take is that most of these predictions are likely to come true. But not because the experts are saying that they will, but because we know that human beings must continuously evolve to higher states of maturity, skills, and pursuits in their lives. In fact, the very basis and foundation of Sahaja is that people must take to higher reaches human development progressively till they become almost god-like in their personality and character traits.
