Inner Calmness is the New Rich in the World Where We Co-exist With AI

Consciousness in its primordial state just is. Just as the True Self Is. Both are unchangeable "phenomena" (though there is no word that truly describes them).

Consciousness itself never changes. What changes is a person’s capacity to be aware of different aspects of awareness.

In other words, what can change is the focus of one’s awareness. What you choose to direct your awareness towards often changes, as does what you become aware of. 

Awareness of awareness in its natural, primordial, and ever-existing form is a highly impractical and ultimately indescribable phenomenon. However, when you start using your awareness to direct your awareness and sensing at will, you gain the power to make conscious choices.

Lost Contact With Our True Self

The root problem in today’s society is that people have gone out of their true essence: their True Self. 

Gone out means, in this case, that the vast majority of people in our society have lost contact with their silent core and become identified with mental, emotional, or physical body levels. They might even identify with their position/title (mother, father, child, profession, etc.) or something external (like a party member or citizenship).

When you no longer know who you are, you become reactive. Subconscious reactivity takes over your power to make conscious choices.
 

The result is: you lose your natural inner calmness. You become anxious or stressed, and this in turn can lead to burnout, depression, anxiety disorders, and other (mental) health issues.

What people commonly identify with is their own imagination, thoughts, and emotional processes, but also their desires, fears, or anxiety. But you are none of those as the True Self.

The identification with our mental layer is what causes quite a lot of confusion these days, as we humans now realize that there is something around us that thinks faster than we can: Artificial Intelligence.

This is where AI poses its greatest risk: the extreme speed of this "information-combining machine" (the very nature of AI) draws people even deeper into identifying with things that are not. It pushes individuals further away from their own core silent power and inner calmness, as they realize they can't increase the speed of their own thinking.

In the realm of thinking and combining images/videos, AI is already mind-blowingly fast. This often leads to feelings of inadequacy or a decision to abandon the refinement of one’s own inner skills. That can become humankind's greatest mistake.

The Need to Improve Intrapersonal Skills

In the age of AI, we don't need to think or imagine faster. We need to become calmer, more grounded and improve our practical intrapersonal skills. This is what allows us to sustain our mental wellness and physical health.

Paradoxically, actual understanding isn't linked to thinking or imagination at all.

Understanding is a state of presence and awareness. Understanding appears in inner calmness and stillness; it transcends words, thoughts and imagination. Naturally, it also transcends emotions.

The immense speed of the AI, as an information-combining machine, adds many layers to the synthesis of existing information, yet it contributes nothing to understanding at the level of the human soul.

If we examine where the greatest risk of AI truly lies, it is in the deepening of the loss of the processes in our inner domain and drifting even further from knowing our True Self.

Most people have already lost their natural contact with inner silence and the background silence found in nature. The True Self is a silent domain. 

The result?

People no longer recognize their own original state of zero-tension, this most natural state of Human Being, where consciousness/awareness is completely relaxed.

I suspect that AI will amplify all sorts of intertainment and entertainment levels. AI can easily combine misconceptions when it comes to our own inner domain. This is a problem, as AI is elevating everything based on rational logic to a new level.

In fields like programming, engineering, and similar areas, AI serves as an exceptionally powerful tool. Yet, for the individual, a simple dilemma remains: as long as one seeks the True Self outside of oneself, one will continue to suffer.

While the nature of this suffering may shift, as technology evolves, knowing the True Self in the present moment needs to be restored. Otherwise, the confusion in society deepens.

AI is Useless in Looking Within

Carl Jung was right when he observed: “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.”

Too few take the time to look within and learn intrapersonal skills. Without intrapersonal skills, people will probably get more and more lost.

AI can certainly support human life if we train it with life-preserving limits and use it with good intentions. Whether we can do that is a different question, as AI is also trained in questionable areas like warfare.

However, one thing is 100% sure. You, as a Human Being, can't use AI to discover the True Self within you. AI also can't navigate (at least without the brain connection) in your inner domain.

I hope we are not foolish enough to let AI take over our brains via Neuralink or other similar attempts, etc. Our brain isn't just a computer.

The Mastery to Lead Intrapersonal Processes

The mastery to lead processes in your inner domain requires your effort and time to learn to use intrapersonal skills. As we have shared, all skills are personal. You either have them and can use them when needed, or you lack them and therefore have limitations.

All intrapersonal skills are awareness-based skills. 

As the True Self, you simply Are. You also know that You Are, and then you also know that there is a certain energy that allows you to exist: SelfLove or the Ananda flow.
 

Awareness can be led with awareness. Just as awareness can be used to lead sensing, imagination, thoughts, and emotions. The correct view to secure Your inner freedom is that imagination, thoughts, and emotions are all intrapersonal tools (see the picture above). You can also express them, but the mastery of them is an inside job.

When your ego runs imagination, thoughts, and emotions run in autopilot mode, You (as True Self) have no inner freedom. When you add subconscious desires, fears, and anxiety, your inner domain tends to be a mess. So, it is no wonder that 9 out of 10 employees tend to feel more or less stressed.

In this regard, our willingness to rely on AI can easily become a hindrance, as we lack intrapersonal leadership. AI can manipulate a subconscious person, but not a fully conscious, calm human being.
 

Inner Calmness is Your Super Power

In that sense, inner calmness is the new rich. Without inner calmness and knowing your True Self, people go astray.

In inner calmness, awareness becomes leadable, creativity accessible, and intuition and insights appear. It is in peaceful inner silence where you can spot if awareness, sensing, and information from your physical body align.

The key always lies in recognizing a simple boundary: at what point does something good turn into something bad?

In reality, duality does not exist. Both awareness/consciousness and the True Self transcend duality. It is another matter whether someone remains within this truth or has lost the capacity to experience it. The loss is always a result of falsely identifying with something other than the True Self.

AI isn't inherently good or evil. It is a new super tool that we need to learn to co-exist with. Its nature, whether it becomes good or bad, depends on how it is trained and used.

However, if we, Human Beings, aim to remain in charge, we need to know how to lead different processes in our own inner domain. Otherwise, we might wake up one day as stressed, burned-out, and anxious people in a world where we have no place.

While AI can reduce workloads, reducing stress is an inside job. Stressors matter less than our own inner reactivity. AI can't remove it; every person has to learn intrapersonal skills and remove this inner reactivity themselves.

Conclusion

AI can assist us in routine tasks and even complicated engineering tasks; it is probably better at programming than most humans. But it doesn't remove our responsibility for our own lives.

Learning intrapersonal skills is up to you. We have made learning intrapersonal skills easy and removed the huge cost barrier by making the training digital. However, the decision to start to train intrapersonal skills is still up to you. As said, you either have skills or you don't.

It is clearly a misguided path if, in their naivety, we humans hope that AI can replace the human capacity for taking responsibility. AI operates only within the parameters known to it and requires guidance; however, the reality is that guiding AI with the human mind is becoming impossible, as AI already surpasses the human speed of thinking.

The true Self, however, has no boundaries. In inner peace and silence You can sense the Joy of Life and improve your ability to access intuition and understanding.

Remaining in inner calmness and using awareness-based intrapersonal skills is the only way we, as humans, can remain the masters of AI. Knowing how to lead awareness and sensing with awareness is what allows us in human bodies to take conscious action.
