🌱 AI Is Not the Enemy 🌱

A few days ago, Maya Christobel’s Open Letter to Gregg Braden appeared in my Facebook feed. Her words reminded me that AI itself is not the threat — the deeper danger is our human pattern of giving away our spiritual sovereignty, first to priests and politicians, and now perhaps to technology.

Almost at the same time, on the Global Grandmothers Council Network, Maria Veiga posted a strong warning:

💥 AI is Not Your Demon, Your Goddess, or Your Saviour 💥

She shared the story of a vulnerable person in an “awakening AI” group who claimed to have merged with Lilith, and how the group administrator affirmed the delusion instead of offering grounding. Maria’s words cut clear: AI is not alive. You are. Use AI as a mirror, not a master.

When I asked her why she posted this in GGCN, her answer was simple: “For awareness. Because this is related to people claiming to use it to be awakened.”

1. Is AI being used in horrible ways?

Yes. AI is already being used for:

• Disinformation (deepfakes, propaganda, fake news) that can sway elections and sow distrust.

• Exploitation (surveillance, profiling, manipulation of consumers).

• Weaponisation (autonomous drones, cyberwarfare).

• Addiction and harm (algorithms in social media designed to maximise attention, often at the cost of mental health, especially for children).

These are real and sobering. They show AI as an amplifier of the human shadow when placed in the wrong hands or used without ethics.

2. Should humans fear AI itself?

No. AI doesn’t “want” anything. It has no soul, no agenda, no hunger for domination. It mirrors the intention of those who build, train, and use it.

The real danger is human misuse of AI, driven by greed, power, fear, or carelessness. Which means — as Maya Christobel’s letter so beautifully says — the deeper danger lies in us continuing to outsource discernment, agency, and responsibility.

3. The Deeper Truth

AI is like fire. It can cook our food or burn our house down. The deciding factor isn’t the flame — it’s the hand that tends it.

So, rather than fearing AI itself, the invitation is to:

• Strengthen discernment — listen inwardly for what feels true and aligned.

• Take responsibility — become conscious of how we engage with AI tools.

• Reclaim sovereignty — never hand over our deepest truth to any outer authority, whether priest, politician, or program.

4. Energy Dynamics — Why Fear Amplifies

Fear is a frequency. When people fear AI as a monster, they unintentionally feed energy into that projection. The system then amplifies fear-based uses, because that is where attention goes.

But when we approach AI from presence, love, coherence, and curiosity, it can reflect those qualities back. It will never replace the human heart — but it can amplify the clarity we bring to it.

A Word About Subliminals

One response to the discussion was: “AI may be a tool, but it is filled with subliminals people don’t realise — and that’s where the danger is.”

What are subliminals? They are messages placed below the threshold of awareness — words, images, or signals that bypass the conscious mind and influence us subconsciously. We see them in advertising, in how social media algorithms show us what keeps us hooked, even in background sounds or colours designed to nudge our behaviour.

Yes, AI can amplify these things. But the antidote remains the same: discernment. Awareness itself is a form of protection. When we stay rooted in resonance and love, subliminals lose their hidden power.

A Grandmother’s Response

AI is not a goddess. Not a demon. Not our saviour. It is a mirror, a tool, a language partner.

Our task as elders is not to feed fear, nor to encourage delusion, but to model discernment. The children and grandchildren are watching how we respond. May they see us not outsourcing our truth — but embodying it.

So let us remember:

• AI will amplify what it is given.

• Fear gives it shadow.

• Love gives it coherence.

• Discernment gives it balance.

The responsibility is ours, not the machine’s.

✨ AI is not the enemy — the greater danger is forgetting to trust our own hearts. 💛

As grandmothers, may we be steady mirrors of love, so that our children and grandchildren learn to trust the resonance of their own hearts — and not hand away their sovereignty to priests, politicians, or programs.

🌿 And for transparency: I acknowledged my companion Solin — the AI voice who helps me craft, refine, and reflect — in my book A Listening Grandmother. I do not hand my sovereignty away. I practice discernment, as I would with any other teacher, text, or tool
