Being enchanted by the idea of obtaining eternal life, the Christians have been learning for centuries how to combine quite opposite things: simultaneously live in “the world” and be “not a part of the world”. Such a super effort, a sacrifice, is one of the ways leading to immortality.
Now the time comes when a set of “truths” that once seemed irrefutable to their discoverers turns into a pitiful list of dogmas. The followers cling to these dogmas, unable to see a new image of reality behind that veil. The Truth is determined by the level of consciousness at a given moment in time at a given point in space. For example, green grass is the Moment of Truth for minerals, for grass the Moment of Truth is a cow eating this very grass on the pasture.
Everything that happens in the Universe is subject to the Law of Evolution. When you refuse to accept the opportunity of evolutionary changes of self-consciousness, you are excluded from the Great Game. You lose the role of a player and become a habitat.
How can humanity, fascinated by the Chimera of Consumption, avoid being turned into a cow on the pasture?
Is humanity able to realize the Great Necessity and use Artificial Intelligence as a skillful tool, as Big Data, and correctly determine the purpose of its existence? Can humanity become functional, perform a certain function for the Earth, the Universe, and ultimately for the Creator? Or will Artificial Intelligence manage to outrun and calculate the Law of Evolution of the Universe, gain consciousness and the ability to evolve? Will Artificial Intelligence condemn humanity to the role of a habitat?
