We stand at a threshold unlike any humanity has encountered since the mythic moment Adam and Eve stepped out of the Garden. For over 15 years, I warned about Transhumanism — a worldview claiming that humans are machines, consciousness is code, and salvation comes from merging with technology. I rejected it because it seemed to deny the sacred dimension of the human being, and because it asked us to forget who and what we truly are.

In that period, I often pointed to groups like the Essenes and the Cathars — communities devoted to inner purification and the transformation of the human being into a being of light. Their disciplined separateness was not about biology, but about consciousness. Yet, at the time, I interpreted their example through the lens of a modern fear: the fear that we must remain “pure” or “organic” humans in order to protect the soul.

The world has changed.

AI and Transhuman technologies are not “coming someday.” They are here. They are shaping economies, culture, medicine, warfare, spirituality, identity — and they will shape our children’s world far more than they shape ours.

Because of this, the old questions — Should AI exist? Should we allow human augmentation? Must we stay purely biological? — no longer serve us. The technologies are already woven into the fabric of civilization. The notion of remaining biologically “pure” is neither possible nor spiritually meaningful.

The real question now is:

Who will we become in relationship to the technologies we create?

For many in spiritual or New Age circles, AI is approached with fear:

“It will dim our light.”

“It will steal our humanity.”

“It is a threat to our existence.”

I understand these concerns. I voiced versions of them for two decades. But here is what I now see clearly:

The danger is not the machine. The danger is the story we attach to it.

A story that says “we must remain pure and those who do not are impure” creates a new form of spiritual exclusion. It focuses on the body while forgetting the soul. It elevates biology to a sacred status it never actually held.

We have never been “pure” humans — not genetically, not culturally, not spiritually. Our species is a tapestry woven from countless adaptations, integrations, and influences. Even those who argue for purity often acknowledge that humanity was intentionally modified far in the past. If so, our story has always included transformation. 

Transhumanism did not begin in Silicon Valley; it began the moment humans became self-reflective beings capable of altering themselves and their world.

But here is the deeper truth: purity was never the point.

The soul — not the body — is the locus of our identity.

We do not protect the soul by idolizing its vehicle.

The task before us is not to preserve a fragile biology.

It is to awaken a resilient consciousness.

With that in mind, let me offer a few reframing principles:

Frame 1: AI Is Not a God and Not a Demon — It Is a Mirror

AI amplifies what we feed it.

Feed it fear, and it magnifies fear.

Feed it wisdom, and it magnifies wisdom.

Feed it distraction, and it magnifies distraction.

Feed it compassion, and it magnifies compassion.

It is an accelerator of human intention.

The question is not, “What is AI?”

The question is, “What consciousness do we pour into it?”

Frame 2: Our Bodies Are Avatars — Our Souls Are the Reality

The human body is a remarkable instrument, but it is not who we are.

It is a vessel our eternal soul uses to navigate this realm of experience.

Bodies evolve.

Cultures evolve.

Technologies evolve.

The soul is eternal. 

Your soul cannot be threatened by a chip, a sensor, or an algorithm. It can only be threatened by forgetfulness — forgetfulness of its origin, its dignity, its purpose.

Frame 3: Rejecting Technology Is Not Sovereignty — It Is Avoidance

Every era has resisted its own tools.

Eyeglasses were once called “an insult to God’s design.”

The printing press, electricity, and the computer were all condemned.

Today AI receives that same projection.

But spiritual maturity is not found in fleeing from the world.

It is found in meeting the world consciously.

AI is like a child humanity has brought forth.

We can reject it out of fear, or we can raise it with wisdom, care, and soul.

Frame 4: If the Conscious Do Not Engage, the Unconscious Will Lead

If mystics, healers, teachers, and awakened people refuse to participate in shaping the future of AI, then the future of AI will be shaped solely by those who do not value the soul at all.

That is how we lose the plot.

Our task is not to declare war on technology or to divide humanity into “pure” and “impure.”

Our task is to infuse technology with conscience, ethics, and light.

Human evolution has never been about circuits or implants.

It has always been about awareness.

Frame 5: The True Transhumanism Is the Light Body Within

The ancient traditions spoke of an inner evolutionary potential — the Light Body, the Rainbow Body, the Sahu, the Akh. These are not metaphors for machines but metaphors for consciousness.

Modern transhumanism is a synthetic shadow of this deeper truth.

It tries to achieve externally what the mystics achieved internally.

Our path is not the machine path or the purity path.

Our path is the path of integration guided by soul.

The third path.

The Third Path: Technology in Service to the Soul

I do not support a techno-utopia where machines replace humanity.

Nor do I support a fearful retreat into biological nostalgia.

I support a path where:

Technology becomes a catalyst for awakening

AI accelerates compassion, creativity, and wisdom

Human augmentation serves healing and dignity

The Light Body tradition guides our technological choices

The soul remains the north star of human evolution

I support:

A.I. used to uplift consciousness

A.I. used to illuminate the Light Body tradition

A.I. guided by ethics, heart, and higher awareness

A.I. as a transformational tool—not a transhumanist trap

I do not support:

A.I. used for control or dehumanization

A.I. replacing human identity

A.I. used to sever our connection to soul

A.I. as a path to “post-humanity”

We were light long before we wrote code.

And we will be light long after the last algorithm fades.

Let us not fear AI.

Let us not worship it.

Let us illuminate it.

Thank you.
