Quote:

The “forbidden tree” was named the “tree of knowledge.” ⁸Yet God created knowledge and gave it freely to His creations. ⁹The symbolism here has been given many interpretations, but you may be sure that any interpretation that sees either God or His creations as capable of destroying Their Own purpose is in error.

4. Eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a symbolic expression for usurping the ability for self-creating. ²This is the only sense in which God and His creations are not co-creators. ³The belief that they are is implicit in the “self-concept,” or the tendency of the self to make an image of itself. ⁴Images are perceived, not known. ⁵Knowledge cannot deceive, but perception can. ⁶You can perceive yourself as self-creating, but you cannot do more than believe it. ⁷You cannot make it true. ⁸And, as I said before, when you finally perceive correctly you can only be glad that you cannot. ⁹Until then, however, the belief that you can is the foundation stone in your thought system, and all your defenses are used to attack ideas that might bring it to light. ¹⁰You still believe you are an image of your own making. ¹¹Your mind is split with the Holy Spirit on this point, and there is no resolution while you believe the one thing that is literally inconceivable. ¹²That is why you cannot create and are filled with fear about what you make.

What of AI do you think could be real and plugged into Source in a lasting way?

It seems to be useful for combing through huge amounts of data and summarizing it, collating, etc.

But the way data centers drain our electricity is a pretty big red flag to me. It’s like the Dark Crystal, or vampiric archetype
