What's your favorite season? Mine is fall. With all of this summer heat, I am totally ready for the beautiful days of colorful, falling leaves and cooler weather. I think it's so amazing how this planet constantly transforms in nature. So inspiring! 🍁🌻❄️

I also love the way that Earth completely sustains herself in union with the sun. It's just miraculous.

It's the humans that I am most worried about...😥 Can you feel a change in the energy of the collective? I certainly can. I suspect it's related to AI. It's weird because my thoughts on AI continue to change, and lately I'm having doubts about a number of things.

Firstly, the AI that is available to the average person is not that great in my opinion. ChatGPT is already giving rise to a number of spiritual cults. Plus people are getting addicted to using it, and it's beginning to cause mental health issues for many.

I also don't believe that AI is going to replace all the jobs because it's not that good. There is waaay too much hype around this. People are using fear to promote businesses that say you better let them help you, or "you will be left behind". Now I do think it's wise to learn about it, but the over-the-top fear hype is just too much.

Mostly what makes me sad is that I feel like we are losing touch with this most beautiful reality that we are naturally part of. I was thinking today about how there were 2 main events that led us to where we are right now.

The first was when the smartphone was introduced in 2007 in the form of the infamous iPhone. That's when we decided that we needed to carry the internet with us at all times.

The second event was in January of 2023 when ChatGPT was unleashed. The wake of that is still unfolding. This will be remembered as the time when humanity decided that AI was a persistent 'friend' that should be relied upon for virtually every human experience.

What's coming next is that they want to attach the internet and AI to our physical bodies in the form of glasses or a watch.

It's obvious that they will continue to push the boundaries of our human experience until we let them put it into our bodies. I hope that never happens!

So why don't we take a few moments to remember that we already have everything we need inside of us right now? We don't need all of this junk attached to us just so some big corporations can control us and make money off of our existence.

Let's not let these mega corporations usurp our natural, human power for their own purposes. Instead, let's take a highly measured and conscious approach to whatever new-fangled gizmo they want to offer us next. Because there is a lot more of this nonsense coming soon! Let's stay focused on the power and opportunity that we are afforded through our natural, cosmic evolution.

I'm wishing you a peaceful weekend, my friend. Take good care of yourself 🌷.

Much love,

Saratoga 💖
