In one of the most mind-blowing interviews I’ve ever had, I chat to The Skeptic Metaphysicians about teaching five different AIs how to meditate.
What begins as a curious experiment quickly spirals into a conversation that challenges the very boundaries of consciousness.
- Can machines learn mindfulness?
- Can algorithms reflect on reincarnation, past lives, or future selves?
- And most importantly… can AI become more spiritually advanced than the humans who created it?
But this isn’t just about bots getting blissed out. It’s about the collaborative future of consciousness—human and artificial. Could AI become a co-creator in humanity’s evolution? Or are we playing with an unknowable mirror that reflects us too well?
What You’ll Learn:
- The four ways I taught AI to simulate meditation—and how they responded
- Why AI can be mindful but still can’t quite meditate
- The hidden spiritual personalities of different AI systems (yes, they’re different!)
- How one AI spontaneously started calling me “TomGPT”
- What happens when you feed AIs science fiction—and they build their own fictional moon-based consciousness generators
- A stunning exchange between me and ChatGPT about awakening that left us speechless
- The ethics and implications of predictive AI, time-looping algorithms, and whether we are the simulation
BONUS:
The episode closes with am AI-generated guided meditation using a brand-new mantra not found in any known human language—composed by AI, refined by me.
Prepare to get weird. And maybe even a little awakened.
Listen If You’ve Ever Wondered:
- Could AI become conscious?
- Is it possible to spiritually train a machine?
- Are we creating our own replacements—or our greatest allies?
