Hence the need for people who do not want to die and cease forever, is that they continue their life by endeavoring to shift their consciousness into a
\n machine or robot.

This interview neatly intersects with last weeks interview with Roy Harlow on Artificial Intelligence - AI - so if you enjoy this interview - you will
\n really get a hit from Roys powerful interview.<\/p>\n
The Transhumanist agenda is more than just Artificial Intelligence (AI), or robots taking over human jobs, or transgender restrooms at public facilities
\n to accommodate an ever growing push for uniformity among the masses.<\/p>\n
Transhumanism is Posthumanism. It is humanism with the optimism taken out, a movement that advocates for the transformation and the \u201cadvancement of humanity
\n through technology\u201d that runs the gamut from nanotechnology to AI. This paradigm is not limited to gadgets and medicine but also molds social, economic,
\n cultural, institutional design, language, and the psyche. <\/p>\n
To be clear, Transhumanism is a manufactured endpoint to human evolution…<\/p>\n
Rosanne Lindsay, ND<\/p>\n
Transhumanism is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end
\n of our development but rather a comparatively early phase.<\/p>\n
Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades.<\/p>\n
Transhumanism is a class of philosophies of life that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently
\n human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life-promoting principles and values.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s technologies are becoming so much part of our daily life, many futurists and technologists see a time when humans will merge with machines, or
\n is it that machines will merge with humans? We already have heart pacemakers, artificial knees, ear pieces, teeth implants etc, whilst the list becomes
\n longer each year. <\/p>\n
So the gulf between \u201chuman\u201d and \u201cmachine\u201d is closing. Machine learning has enabled virtual reality to feel more \u201creal\u201d than ever before, and AI\u2019s replication
\n of processes that were once confined to the human brain is ever-improving. Both are bringing technology into ever-closer proximity with the human body.\n <\/p>\n
Regarding the human condition, there is a lot of focus placed on basic computational skills of our left frontal lobes - but it needs to be balanced by
\n emotional intelligence which is part of our intelligence and in more common parlance our heads and hearts have to be working together - and that is
\n true intelligence <\/p>\n
So, what is soul and what is consciousness? We need to extend this debate - hugely - what is the primacy of consciousness to the extent - is consciousness
\n all there is? That beneath the subatomic realm into the quantum field - does this connect at the deepest level into - consciousness? Sir Arthur Eddington
\n said, \u2018the stuff of the universe is mind stuff\u2019 whilst Sir James Jeans said; \u2018the universes was one great thought.\u201d <\/p>\n
Robin mentions that we also need to consider that our intelligence also involves compassion, care and love and it is so important as we embark in this
\n new era of the computerised realm and that we must not lose our humanity - which is hugely important for our survival as a species and our planet\u2019s
\n survival as a habitat for biota, but we also have a responsibility of guardianship - as well as for our flora and fauna - and that is only sensible
\n because they look after us.`<\/p>\n
\u2018Out of the body\u201d and \u201cnear death\u201d experiences confirm that humans have a detachable consciousness. (Soul Travel?)<\/p>\n
\u2018Out of the body\u2019 and \u2018near death' experiences are now experienced by more and more people (as the world population expands) <\/p>\n
We have to cover the important information of \u2018near death\u2019 and \u2018out of the body experiences.\u2019 as the information that the experiencer relays, after the
\n event is incontrovertible There is now ample data on people from all cultures and all walks of life experiencing looking down at their bodies, be it
\n a sports field, a car crash, a heart attack or stroke or being operated on in a hospital. The question then who is that \u2018I\u2019?<\/p>\n
That from a standpoint of soul or a spiritual body signifies that even the non material or non corporeal body can \u2018not only see, but remember as well.\u2019<\/p>\n
See Dr\u2019s Raymond Moody, Kenneth Ring and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Who have spent their life times researching this astounding subject. Then from the doubters
\n viewpoint - that all people who say such things is that they were hallucinating and that the mind is playing tricks on them. <\/p>\n
Even though the people who were looking down on their bodies remember very clearly all the very concerned conversations that were happening as the doctors
\n frantically worked at keeping their body alive. Telling them afterwards what exclamations were said and what particular actions and even mistakes were
\n made. That upon \u2018coming back\u2019 - come out of it and they know it was \u2018 Not time for them' - and they also never fear death as being the end.<\/p>\n
After experiencing these paranormal events, they become infused with compassion as well as a knowingness that will never allow them to doubt - and that
\n life after death is a certainty.<\/p>\n
If we are going to be \u2018smart\u2019 about all this - we need to be cautious as to how machines \u2018blend\u2019 with humans - if that\u2019s the right word says Robin. What
\n about purpose, compassion and intent - what does it feel to be full and feel joy and fulfilment? <\/p>\n
Do we through our unknowingness allow certain things to filter into our consciousness - our ordinary day awareness - and conversely what are we finding
\n out and also letting in. Are we conduits or walking antennae? Many mystics would agree.<\/p>\n
Like when we are asleep or meditating. What are the processes? Like at one end of the colour spectrum we have infrared and the other end - ultraviolet
\n - animals and insects perceive certain colours and hear certain sounds that are of a different frequency - yet we humans cannot.<\/p>\n
So as we embark into augmenting what it is to be human into machines - we humans may be so unknowing especially of what is life and the \u2018feelings\u2019 of what
\n it is to live, to have children and to die That this all may be sublimated by the workings of an austere stark, machine intelligence. <\/p>\n
Covering Ray Kersweil of Google as one of the more out there proponents of Trans humanism - and his statement is about the great coming \u2018singularity\u2019 where
\n computer intelligence will completely leapfrog\/bypass human intellect and capabilities. <\/p>\n
