Natural Intelligence Is The Universe's Algorithm

Natural Intelligence Is The Universe's Algorithm

I’ve just recently gained a new perspective on the universe from one of my spiritual teachers, Kerry K.  She said that the universe has a natural algorithm much like what we experience with the artificial intelligence algorithm.  She calls this natural intelligence.

What they have in common is that they both feed you more of what you continually focus on but the difference is the universe will give you experiences that will push you to grow as a person.  In other words, the universe will keep giving you experiences until you can begin to see your personal blind spots or what you aren’t yet seeing about yourself.

So if you’re navigating life from a wounded place, then the universe will give you experiences that will help you heal those wounded parts of yourself.

As opposed to artificial intelligence which just keeps feeding you more of what you’re watching and paying your attention to without the opportunity for personal growth and reflection.  AI is all about consuming more and more information without purpose.

Glass Half Empty or Half Full - How do you see it?

Glass Half Empty or Half Full - How do you see it?

Why is it that, for so many people, the glass seems half empty instead half full?  Why do so many of us go straight to the worst-case scenario?

Why isn’t it a thing to go to the best-case scenario?  Or, more directly: what we really want?

I remember a time when I had certain beliefs, ideas, and stories I’d ride or die with. For example, I thought I was a good person only if I sacrificed myself for others’ benefits.  And of course, that meant putting my own needs on the back burner.

In time, I came to realize that was not serving me, or anyone else for that matter.  I was only hurting myself because I was not being honest with myself about what I truly wanted.

I didn’t yet realize that if I focused on the goodness in life, more would come.  However, I soon discovered a new way to be.
