Practically speaking, what does it mean to wake up? It’s literally the opposite of falling asleep, so it involves being aware. But since the Buddha’s name means he awakened, the bar seems quite high…
But when we're really thinking about helpful questions from the point of view of orienting us, there was a question that popped up between us thinking about where we might take the conversation.
And, you know, I have to be honest, although no lesser individual than the Buddha is named after this process.
And so I was curious to hear what we might find from a digital medium, an online guru, perhaps.
cultivated especially for you on which you are able to draw to channel some wisdom from a variety of sources that have been mediated by this machine and it might therefore have a wonderful overview or it might not we're about to find out
well exactly yeah and and wow like it's a big word isn't it awakening and i'm actually really excited about the chance to kind of explore and inquire with you on this, because I feel like we have both been asking this question, maybe in different ways, but walking this path in parallel now for a long time.
And yeah, there's something about having an opportunity to be in this dialogue with you in this kind of public way as well.
I'm curious to hear what it says, but I'd also like to hear a little bit more about how it got constructed and how you come to be looking at it right now.
I want to emphasize it's not something that I've taken up with great enthusiasm.
Of course, it's unavoidable now, and I do make occasional use of it, but I want to give a big shout out to my friend Stephen Marshall, who created an oracle for me.
In other words, like a particular, I don't know how you would say it exactly, like a kind of AI chatbot that is informed by particular influences that he has or texts that he has integrated so that it answers from a certain body of knowledge and has a kind of sensibility and like it's informed by certain systems, the gene keys, Richard Rudd's gene keys being one of the key ones, which I've worked with a lot in the last few years.
