Standing on the Edge of Evolution: Choosing Humanity in the Age of AI
A call to reclaim our humanity, raise consciousness, and shape the future we want.
AI and Overwhelm
I’ve listened to a few podcasts lately that cover the incredible advances in AI. To be honest I don’t think I know half of what’s actually going on. But what I do know is that it all sounds very overwhelming!
It feels like another situation in which our species has jumped in boots and all, pushing the limits without fully understanding the consequences.
The Nature of Evolution
I guess in some ways this is what evolution is. Like anything difficult in life, if we really knew what we were getting in for we probably wouldn’t do it! But we do. And on the other side is great growth, new understandings and a more open heart.
While it feels like we may have bitten off more than we can chew, I believe that this moment in time is here for us to make a choice. Will we continue on this trajectory of hate, war, money, power and control of others or will we take this opportunity to create a different world?
A System Built for the Few
One more aligned with where we truly want to go. One that actually serves all of us rather than the few at the top who have created this system to serve their own needs.
Now this is not their fault. They have only done what they have been allowed to do. We have stood by as the running of this planet has become more and more of an elite process. We have stood by as major decisions are made without even a thought towards our needs as humans. We have let greed and corruption reign supreme.
But now we know and now we can not unsee what we have seen. Now is our time to stand up for what we believe in. Imagine a world where decisions are made with compassion at their core — where our systems are designed to nurture rather than exploit. This is not a dream, it is within our reach.
Standing on the Edge of Evolution
I feel like we’re standing on the edge of evolution. A moment in time where we make a choice. Will we go down with fear and hatred in our hearts or will we rise above it and connect with the heart of our species.
I believe that by raising the consciousness of our planet we can meet AI and all of the other challenges we’ve created in a positive, loving way. Finding solutions that we can not see from our present frame of mind.
Evolving the Mind, Not the Body
At present we are living in lack, in fear, in shame. We do not understand ourselves. We do not understand who we truly are. What we need right now is enough of us to get together and use this incredible power that we have access to, to create a new world, a new life. And the beauty of it all is that we can have anything that we desire. Anything we can imagine we can have.
I was speaking to a very wise woman the other day about our species' evolution. Like many learned people she was of the opinion that our species has not stood still enough over the last few decades to be able to evolve. Her thoughts are that everything has changed at such a rapid pace that our species could not possibly evolve at a rate to keep up with it. I completely understand and respect this point of view, however what I wonder is, have we moved from a place of evolving our body to a place of evolving our minds? Our main obstacles at present aren’t based upon inadequate bodies but rather an inability to truly recognise the powers of our mind.
The Inner World Creates the Outer World
Through the power of our minds we can open up to our spirituality and evolve into a different plane of existence. I personally don’t believe the answer lies in the physical. I think it's time we took on board all of the wonderful teachings in the world today that tell us the physical is purely a representation of our inner worlds.
We are in chaos on the outside because we are in chaos on the inside. We are manifesting a physical world that coincides with our inner one.
By recognising our unique abilities as humans and fostering the qualities of humanity we can make the very real and very necessary changes our planet needs. We could raise a generation who see success not in wealth or power, but in kindness, wisdom, and creativity. A generation who know they are more than enough.
Redefining Success
For too long we have been bringing our children up in a world where they learn all about facts and figures. Where they are successful is if they can get a job, make enough money to get by and create a family to succeed them in life.
Is this truly it? Is this what success looks like?
I don’t think so. I think success is allowing our youth to recognise their true potential. To allow them to explore this world they live in and what makes them human through learning about kindness, love, humanity.
We are not robots and if we don’t want to fall into an age where robots become more ‘intelligent’ then us, we must recognise what makes us human. Something robots or AI will never have.
The Call of Humanity
Our human qualities, our leadership, our friendships, our kindness, our love of others. This is how we will bring about a new world. We can work with these advances if we allow ourselves to advance too.
We are living in a world where we are being overtaken because we refuse to see the truth of who we are. Because we don’t allow ourselves to be magnificent. Because once upon a time someone told us we are not good enough, not worthy enough, not able to make a difference. Well this is not true. We are and the Earth and its inhabitants need us to step into this reality now. I believe this is the only way for us to move forward, as spirit having a human experience.
Echoes of Wisdom
So many of us around the world are doing the work to make ourselves better. To live more harmoniously within our bodies and by this means we are lifting the consciousness of our planet. It may seem overwhelming but it is truly making a difference.
What we are imagining we are already having, so why not create consciously?
Through our feelings of unworthyness, of shame and fear we are creating a world that reflects these feelings within ourselves. Our collective humanity is at a crisis point, we are searching for answers we refuse to see.
We know what is right. We know what is fair. We know what is just, yet we just stand by and look as our world around us crumbles and falls, as the world within us crumbles and falls. We refuse to look at ourselves and see the sheer magnificence of who we truly are but now is the time, now we have little choice but to recognise this within ourselves. Now we must stand up and do something.
As our guides have been telling us for decades in their own ways, it’s time to,
“Get up, Stand up. Stand up for your right. Get up, stand up. Don’t give up the fight.”
In the wise words of Bob Marley, if we look at what life is truly worth we find that we already have everything we need within us. I believe we can live with everything we have created. I believe we can keep a handle on AI if we recognise our true capabilities and understand that nothing we create can ever really harm us as we are the creators ourselves.
“You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
(What you gonna do?)
We going to stand up for our right”
The Choice Before Us
We have been fooled for much of our time here on Earth. We have felt powerless, unworthy and overwhelmed by the powers that run our society.
This is our society too. Our home. Our future, and it is time for us to start taking some control.
We can do something. We do have more power than we give ourselves credit for. We are capable of fixing our mistakes and creating a new paradigm.
Yes I understand it seems hard. It seems overwhelming and huge but if we don’t do something who will? Who are we waiting for? Or are we just accepting that our fate is sealed? Along with our beautiful planet we are on the brink of extinction and sheer chaos. Yet history shows us that times of crisis are also times of awakening. We have the chance to turn this moment into a renaissance of human spirit — one that future generations will thank us for.
What Choice Will You Make?
What choice will you make today to change the trajectory of our existence?
Look inside. What do you need to do in order to love yourself?
Whether it be a moment’s reflections, a walk in nature or committing to a mindfulness or meditation practice, your actions today have an impact on our collective future.
What choices will you make?
With love,
Natalie
