Is using AI spiritual? Is it giving my power away? What does AI do to my vibration? And my connection to the divine? In today’s email I want to share with you a balanced perspective and place I’ve come to within myself and how I show up in the world Saying AI is bad or “is not spiritual” is like saying the internet is bad.. Or not spiritual Yet there are spiritual messages, texts, and videos sharing positive messages all around the world that would NOT exist if it weren’t for the internet You wouldn’t know who I was if it wasn’t for a video you’ve seen of mine from the internet So personally I think that the way we relate to AI depends on the consciousness we use it with In a recent 21 day challenge I did, I integrated an AI worksheet tool that people could use for becoming aware of their core patterns underneath the surface It is an AI tool that people used that would reflect back language patterns in their stories about love, friends, purpose etc And it reveled so much information about the subconscious side of people that people were blown away by it People in the beginning had resistance to using the tool however once people in the community started posting their breakthroughs people caught on and would experience it too I use some AI in my coaching process in the Shift Academy to help people with pattern recognition and belief work I do NOT use it for nervous system regulation and healing I also had reservations when I first integrated something called Aaron AI into my coaching programs too.. It's basically an AI version of me programed with every youtube video I have ever made AND every coaching call I have ever done AND every live event I have ever done Once again it doesn’t replace me… as I still do a ton of live coaching (its my passion!) BUT it does allow my work to help more people in a personal way

Detachment is not saying, "I don't care." It is saying, "I appreciate what is here without trying to possess it." Nothing lasts forever. The more we accept this truth, the more peacefully we can love, live, and let go.

Sometimes we go looking for answers, but the people giving them may still be figuring things out themselves. That’s where the idea of a guru comes in. It’s a word that carries a lot of weight these days. A true guru comes from a lineage—what we call a sampradaya. So what is the role of a guru in today’s world? In the Bhagavad-Gita, there’s the concept of “tattva,” which refers to truth. A guru is called a “tattva-darshi.” Darshi (from darshan) means to see or perceive. So a tattva-darshi is someone who sees the truth—not just intellectually, but with real spiritual insight. Both the Bhagavad-Gita and other traditions explain that if we want real answers, we need to approach someone qualified. But how do you recognize such a person? If you met a guru today, how would you know? The scriptures actually describe this. It’s not about externals—whether someone is Indian, how long their beard is, or how they speak or behave outwardly. That’s not enough. The Bhagavad-Gita focuses much more on inner qualities: compassion, humility, tolerance, self-control, determination, and genuine knowledge. So we shouldn’t rush into things blindly. This is a search. You find someone by asking questions—but not just random questions. You need to have some clarity about what you’re looking for. In the end, you need both questions and answers. When you seek a guru, you’re looking for guidance—someone you can learn from and place your faith in. But it doesn’t stop there. A real guru won’t shut down your thinking—they’ll actually sharpen it. You don’t leave your intelligence at the door. You approach with awareness. And as you continue, your questions become deeper and more meaningful. By following the process, you start to see that this person is helping you grow—not just by giving answers, but by elevating your understanding. Someone like this, who also comes from a genuine sampradaya, is what we call a guru. So ask questions. Look for real answers. And connect with someone who inspires you to keep going deeper.
