A few years ago, I had a really bad attack of vertigo that landed me in the E.R. – I was pretty sick!

The E.R. doc came in and began asking me about all my symptoms. Then he said something that has stuck with me and has more relevance today. “Let me ask Dr. Google.”  

I was too out of it to laugh, but now that I think about it, it’s pretty weird.

Here is a person with 12 years of higher education and a board-certified emergency medicine physician asking a computer to make the diagnosis. It wasn’t even a hard case, mind you. Just a run-of-the-mill bad case of vertigo.

Anyway, the doctor gave me some anti-vertigo medication, which helped a lot. It quieted me down quite a bit, and as one of the nurses said, “You’re back.”

They got a CAT scan anyway to make sure I wasn’t having a stroke because that’s protocol; they hydrated me and sent me “a la casa.”

Today I read an article in the NY Times that revealed that one of those multi-billionaire tech bros in Silicon Valley said AI will absolutely replace doctors.

To quote him directly, “Say goodbye to doctors.”  

He also said that 1 doctor will be able to supervise 10 AI assistants.

Well at least there will be some humans involved in your care, although quite frankly, the way some doctors are so unengaged that it may be an improvement.

One friend of mine recently said, “My doctor is nothing but a lab reader.” Lots of folks agree.

In this age of heavy-duty AI, with the airwaves now being saturated with tech CEOs like Sam Altman and others saying, “Hey, we must slow down. If we’re not careful, AI can go rogue and cause the extinction of humanity.”

Beyond that, one group is saying, “It’s a hoax,” while the others are sounding the alarm.

I believe that the cure for all of this is to put AI aside for the moment and work on the development of our own innate authentic intelligence, what I call AI2.

When you tune into your higher and best self through yoga, Kirtan Kriya, being in nature, serving others, and just allowing yourself to be present in the moment, you tune into your soul.

And that is where you find your authentic divine self.

AI ain’t a guru or a guide. Your true guide is your divine spiritual essence.

Let’s make it a priority to tune into it each and every day.

May This Earth Be Blessed With Peace.
