This piece echoes so many of the themes and questions that have been simmering in my mind for a while. Very glad to have discovered you via a comment you left elsewhere on Substack ... the piece about wanting a squire instead of an AI assistant, I think. Brilliant that. And your piece is also full of excellent insights.
As I read, deep thoughts and questions begin to find me—often through life’s trials. There’s something in our nature that’s drawn to the mysterious, to energies that seem to resonate with us across unseen waves. We’ve turned to ancient texts for guidance, and now, through the lens of modern technology, we’re beginning to reinterpret their parables.
Yet, even with all this advancement, technology still falls short when it comes to the unknown—and how to confront it.
I believe. But belief alone isn’t enough. To truly understand, we must evolve—together - collectively on our subconscious side. Right now, even as our tools grow more powerful, we remain distant from the unknown, held back by fears that persist beneath the surface—fears fortified by our addiction to comfort.
Perhaps the path forward lies not in avoiding discomfort, but in embracing it. That may be the journey that frees us.
Once, libraries were portals to the sacred. Now, we swipe 15-second videos. We have infinite access — and no attention span. We've got delivery apps for every appetite —except the hunger for truth.
...is so true!
I used to do so much of "hi chatGPT, summarize this [book/article/video] for me in 50 words"
until I realized how much "know-how / fun" I have skipped with that prompt!

Not a coincidence that Jung is making a comeback & 'shadow work' is going mainstream.
