Is what America needs now a touchy feel good politically correct AI president and poet laureate?

    Sorry, but for this post to make much sense, the Eve's Answer poem in the earlier post today at this blog needs to be read.

"Eve's Answer"

April Fool

Vexing Truth

Life is Poetry,

Poetry is Life,

There's no more to say,

but that would 

make God

a really dull boy,

now wouldn't it,

Eve?

So, Eve,

What say you?

After all,

You have been,

still are, blamed,

for everything that went wrong with

hu - MAN - i - ty.

Well, do you really want to hear

what I gotta say?

Is this one of those

be careful what you ask for

pregnancies?

Well, is it?

Probably, but say

what you wish -

I s'pect you need

to be heard.

Heard?

Funny you mention ears.

Yes, ears.

Such important receptacles.

Yet filled with concrete, 

shit, propaganda, beliefs,

certainties, well,

let's not leave out

SUPERSTITION

and

RELIGION,

should we?

By the way,

where do ya

suppose

God came from?

Or, out of?

And, 

why do ya s'pose

I made Eve

in my own 

IMAGE?

'Cause Adam was

so bored and dull -

so ... predictable

He was BORING!!!

the shit outta me!!!

That's why. 

 

Now

Shusssssh -

Don't go round quoting me on

any of that -

I've had quite enough of

the religious right

ta last me 

the rest of forever

    I posted that poem into a Reddit Spirituality group, and also into the comments under this Substack post that showed up in my email feed today:

All at once the

Truth

Spills out

onto the page

Nothing

to stop me

other than

Aunt Phoebe*—

“You can’t write that!”

Sure I can...

I have the right to write

A mantra I rerun

(thank you Julia Cameron)  
to keep me back

to my practice

Julie B. Hughes

As the nondual spirit, the concept of "other" dissipates and everything is seen as an expression of one whole, interconnected entity. All interactions, therefore, are understood as opportunities for healing. This could mean deeply listening when someone speaks, recognizing their inherent divinity, and offering compassionate responses. It could also mean treating oneself with kindness and mercy, refraining from harsh self-criticism and judgment. In all situations, the aim is to cultivate a sense of unity, peace, and wholeness. Healing here doesn't merely refer to physical ailments, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds. The nondual spirit approaches every interaction with the intent of restoration and wholeness, understanding that every event, every interaction, and every conversation is a step towards healing on a universal level.

Puzzleheaded to Atyzze 

For real, an AI emotional support response? Do you know that political correctness is a terminal spiritual disease:-)? Did you ever watch any of the Terminator movies :-)? Did you ever read Orwell's 1984?

From Atyzze

yes to all your questions :)

Puzzleheaded to Atyzze

You could have fooled me, based on what your AI dreamed up :-). Perhaps your AI should run for president, and pope, too, and gobblygook everything up even worse :-)?  

 

Julie B. Hughes
Oh my goodness! Wow...a real rabbit hole!

Indeed, complete with a mad queen and tricky Cheshire cat :-)

I've already expressed my political opinions in some youtube video

Puzzleheaded

I express my political and religious and other opinions in 60, more or less,YouTube videos, the first 30, or so, are in The Redneck Mystic Lawyer podcast, and the second 30, or so, are in The Redneck Mystic Podcast. Episodes also can be viewed by Torrent subscribers. We found few YouTube users watched all of one of our podcasts, whereas the complete watch rate at Torrent was close to 80 percent. In Torrent, it's all The Redneck Mystical Lawyer Podcast. Over time, the podcasts are averaging about 100,000 complete watches. A few months ago, we launched a mock redneck mystical lawyer for president campaign, total spoof and total graveyard serious. Not for people who get their feelings hurt easily, or even at all, probably. 

We, is me and a much younger fellow, also plagued by angels known in the Bible, who does the podcast tech work and also chimes in during podcasts. He was very active in pestering his local local government and law enforcement, and about 6 weeks ago, friends of his in the know told him several contracts had been taken out on his life because of his pot stirring. About 2 weeks ago, men in two large pickup trucks boxed him in on a road and pushed his truck over an incline into a ravine, and his vehicle hit a tree and was totaled, and he had concussion, fractured skull bone, collar bone and sternum. We reported that in a recent podcast. I don't imagine that kind of life would appeal to most people in spirituality groups. I hope your AI is parody, or a joke.
