What you don’t know about artificial intelligence (AI) can really harm you (and your health). Considering there’s so much misinformation everywhere you look and AI is a real thing you can’t avoid, managing your digital footprint is vital… so where do you begin?

Tech consultant and UX researcher Rachel Miles returns to dissect the pros and cons of AI and how it can be a valuable tool so long as you use it properly this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Rachel and her expertise in AI and other computing technologies at her Renaissance Rachel and Conscious Navigator websites. Check out Rachel’s free AI course — Navigate AI Consciously in 7 Days — at this link.

9:53 The great equalizer.

21:24 Artificial intelligence is no more or less than a large pattern synthesis engine that has been trained on lots of data and is not conscious.

31:22 Humans need to stay in the loop on AI development so we don’t give it too much power over our lives.

41:47 Avoiding AI tools completely and not understanding them make you much you more vulnerable to manipulation.

55:48 Did you know AI (or Google) doesn’t generate completely accurate information?

1:06:21 Bad algorithms and coding lead to biased, non-factual data.

1:14:07 It takes a lot of computing power to train AI models.

1:23:49 The environmental cost of AI versus the benefits.

Paul has spoken at length about his daily health regimen that has prevented him from missing a day of work for more than 40 years. That is, until one day six months ago when he became sicker and weaker than he ever has in his entire working life…

Immediately, Paul recognized some of his symptoms were ones attributed to COVID, but others came in attacks from spiritual entities, including one that penetrated his body for the very first time.

Paul shares his spiritual experiences with author, researcher and Anthroposophy expert Thomas Mayer as they examine the COVID pandemic through the lens of spiritual science this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Thomas and his work in Anthroposophical meditation at his website. Find links to Thomas’ books in the Resources section and our website.

What do you do in a health crisis when all of the allopathic experts you’ve seen have no clue how to heal you?

When faced with extreme health problems and no answers, philosopher, farmer and award-winning author Daniel Firth Griffith took his Mom’s advice — chickens — and became a living example of the many benefits active, holistic approaches provide.

Daniel describes how his wellness transformation went hand-in-hand with a love for farming and storytelling and explains why, in its truest form, myth is a silence with legs, this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Daniel’s work as a storyteller and horse-drawn woodwright at his website, Substack and on social media via Instagram.

No matter how many resources of great scientific information that are available to us, how little you don’t know about the foods you eat can be the difference between living the good life and one full of sickness.

Autumn shares her life’s continuing food as medicine mission, her recent Ph.D. studies on nutrient densities of meat and her concerns about efficiency over ecology in the food industry this week on Spirit Gym.

There have been countless arguments throughout millennia among great thinkers and scholars debating what organ in our body really runs the show. Is it the brain that stores our thoughts and information that drives our human spirit or our hearts that not only pump blood throughout our bodies but guide our feelings and emotions?

Rollin McCraty, executive VP and director of research for the HeartMath Institute, describes how our energetic hearts allow us to connect to our deeper selves and the world via a consciousness upgrade this week on Spirit Gym.
