Check the book "The Holy Science" by Swami Sri Yukteswar the reckoning of time was distorted by a decline in intellect as we entered the last Kali yuga. The last Kali yuga ended in 1800 b.c.. We are now in the Dvapara yuga or the bronze age. The Great Awakening is happening because we are on the incline toward the Treta yuga.
Jason please, respectfully, stop spreading misinformation about the length of the yugas, I'm sure you are aware of Sri yukteswar the holy science, 26 000 year precession of the equinoxes cycle. WE ARE NOT IN KALI YUGA BUT IN ASCENDING DWAPARA
It was the English imperialism that invaded India who tore down our understanding of the vedas. Don't keep perpetuating the history of english oppression PLEASE
I am a Gen-Z Telugu boy from Andhra Pradesh in the south. I am actually concerned about my language going extinct. Most of people are becoming westernized and try to speak English as much as they can just to look cool. And if a culture loses its language it loses everything. Even to read a newspaper in Telugu we need our parents help to understand and we don’t have the command over our language as much as our parents or grandparents have. Telugu is 80% Sanskrit and it’s a beautiful language. Its so sad to see that people are not caring about the language dying that has all ancient scriptures which are very essential. And I am suffering from it because I am reading Bhagavad Gita in English to understand better. And not reading it in Telugu because it’s too complicated for me
@@bushi106 I am not too attached to it. It makes me sad to see a language that exposed me to spirituality is dying and the coming generations would not get to have the experience like I had.
It may also be that the Telugu language recovers through your actions. You are also part of what is and as good a creative force as anything else. I hope it is so. Languages like yours carry much insight for future generations. Do what your intuition tells you.
Key take-aways for me: The loss of vocabulary and creative writing these days, the lack of heart inherent in AI, the fact that we must "use it or lose it" and cultivate intelligence vs being passive consumers. All 100% true and, like you say, the remedy is to inquire within and find balance.☯🕉
Yeah.......no! Balance does not work for a Human Being. And im not pretending to be something else than you are my brother, please dont get me wrong. But Balance ONLY works for Mortals and Demi-Gods. I dont need to tell you that we are NO Demi-God.. But we do tend to believe that we are Mortals. (We are not) When a Human uses Balance as its main tool of measure, we wil always find we tip the Balance because of our tendencies. This is why when a Human uses 1 Religion to balance his life, he condems all other Religions and those People who believe in these other Religions. In turn, the Human that seeks Balance for himself, wil cause inbalance to others that try to find the same path in a different way. Balance causes you to say yes, to something that is good for you. And the same Balance causes you to say no, to something that is not good for you. A example... In situation A: A beautiful woman you like, and she needs your help. What wil you do? You wil most likely help her. Situation B: A Woman who is a long gone stinking junky wants your help. What wil you do? You wil most likely NOT help her. THIS is what Balance does. If it is good for ME, I wil do it. If it is not good for me, I wont do it. This makes a Human inconsistent. Humans need a (imaginary) Scale to weigh things out.. Take the example I gave just now.. And put on the Scale, the subject of the matter... In this case it is: Helping a woman in need. Then ask yourself 2 Questions. Would I help this beautiful woman i want? Answer: yes! Now.. Would I help this Junky stinking woman i dont want? Answer: HELL NO! Good.... So now your answer to the beautifull woman should be: HELL NO! Because you wil say HELL NO to the Junky.. Same way other way around, that if you say: YES! to the beautifull woman. You MUST say YES! to the stinking Junky.. This is OUR kind of Balance.. It is done with a Scale. You wil always have the answer to your own questions this way. When I say YES to the positive, I must say YES to the negative. (Wil I stil do it?^) Yes/No When I say NO the negative, I must say NO to the positive. (Wil I stil NOT do it?^) Yes/No The 1 answer that comes from both questions is called the Correct answer. You wil DO things that you normally DONT want to do. You WONT do things that you normally DO want to do..
Well laziness of investigating and do discernment instead relying on mainstream media is the downfall of Asia population.... and of course not investigating/ not a care what they put inside their body is a massive issue ie what is in the Cov jabs, graphene oxide and nanotech.... you may think I am conspiracy theorist ...look for international lawyer, dr.

Jason at 81 years old I see the younger generations are loosing there health and running to the doctors because the way they are living. Their health is being compromised because of the food they eat. I think you explained AI very well to me as l am just starting to understand the way the world is heading. l love your your programmes and I thank you for all your effort
Yeah, and whose generation made it that way? Your generation sold the younger generations out to corporations. You can’t blame the kids, look into the mirror. You generation and it’s way of voting and beliefs, or lack of beliefs, (except your own immediate selfish interests.), created this hellscape and doomed world. You need to accept responsibility for your actions, or lack of. Your generation created this mess.
It's nit food really bro, it's 9/10 life style choices bro. Let's forget the 10 cheeseburgers a week for a second 😂 People.do drugs, partly well into their 40s, chase women, no proper sleep, working jobs that are physically demanding. That shit takes a tole bro. Health is wholistic, which means it's about everything you do. Not just eat, work out, and repeat. Mental health is in there too. Infant I'd place me talk health at peak issue with some folks who have problems 😂😂 Can't smoke smoke.meth for.3 years straight and expect to come out healthy even if you work out and get clean and shit 😂😂😂 them teeth my boy ant coming back, and them holes in ya brain are simi permanent 😄 So like man lets.be real, it's not.food. these folks legit don't know how to exist. 😂😂😂
I’m a 40 year old female. I definitely agree with what you’re saying. So many are on drugs and smoke weed or drink all day just to get by day to day life. No one is really living just surviving. I walk around in a state of deep concern daily from what I see. No one has ability to critically think anymore and common sense is very foreign. I feel like my hand will forever be over my mouth along with a gasp. I’m baffled and dumbfounded.
Who on this Earth thinks we are in the golden age? It's pretty apparent to me that we're in the dark age...Just found this channel today, it's top notch, love it.
Yes I think so too, while as a woman we might have more freedom now, as we are told. But ancient India was better for us as per scriptures I read. Heck we had women spiritual seekers, middle age put us under veil after the Islamic invasions. And yes now it comparatively free than veil, but it’s still not enough to make us seekers. We do have women seekers, but few few
We are in the bronze age. You rhink this is the dark age? Have you not read history? Man is clearly awakening. Please read "The Holy Science" Swami Sri Yukteswar.
@@dustinsmith9980 Did you watch the video related to these comments? I simply agree with Jason that we are very likely in the early stage of the Kali Yuga. I'll check out the book you mention...But look out into the world and let me know where you see our awakening.
Nameste, Jason. It is an absolutely important and crucial video. Definitely have seen the effects of technology and how it has domesticated our society. I live in New York City, and I see how consumed people are with technology, people on the train, all on their phones or laptops. I see couples on dates not even talking to each other because they are on their phones. Ironically, I have more books than clothes, something about running your fingers through pages and underlining things that resonate with you. Thanks again, Jason, for sharing meaningful content. Hopefully, more people can go within and live from that inward perspective. Shanti! Shanti!Shanti! Appreciate you, Jason.
Lol, I remember being in central London once, on a day out with my nephews (now in their late twenties) and they wanted to rush home, so they could join an online game; I remember feeling so disappointed, as I had spent a fair amount on the day trip and it was only early afternoon. When I said 'no', they got really grumpy, so, I decided to head back anyway, being the aunty, I did not want to spoil their day; needless to say, my awareness realised the change in generations. Totally agree, I love the feel of a book in my hands.
When life becomes bitter and impossible, all conditions are sordid and ugly, and living itself is a dreary burden, it is because contact with our divine self has been lost.
@jonweston6294 people are too distracted. They have to desire truth. Ive been a se-er and seeker most my life. The physical world has people in a trance.
Great video, Jason. Thanks for taking us on such a thoughtful journey, and posing important questions for us to ponder about our sovereignty and future.
Yes however as a hindu I have my doubt on time 4lakh+ interpretation by us But there is no doubt about other things everything is eternal truth 🙏💗🙏 Jai shree ram 🥰🥰
Technology and social media IS dumbing us down. You can watch a video instead of reading a book or article, but you don't retain what you learned as much by watching a video as by reading because when you read, you can pause and mull over an idea which cuts a groove in your brain. We even had audio books for everything including some services that will read to you the Cliffs Notes version. Also, we used to memorize phone numbers before the advent of the smartphone. We used maps and memorized directions before GPS was created.
A nicely articulated summary of the current crisis. I work in tech and regard AI with great skepticism, if not suspicion. I'm very concerned about the deterioration of language skills as well, as writing is a central activity for me. Your thoughts on the general decline in consciousness and compassion resonate with clarity. I appreciate your simple proposal of returning to reading books. I'd also suggest writing reflections, intentions, stories, or recollections in journals. It can be quite healing. I'm a Catholic who has always had a deep interest in the Vedas and Mahabharata. My girlfriend is Buddhist (follower of Thich Nhat Hanh), and we frequently talk about the philosophy of the two religions. Many of the themes you bring up are along the lines of what we've discussed.
Well laziness of investigating and do discernment instead relying on mainstream media is the downfall of Asia populations.... and of course not investigating/ not a care what they put inside their body is a massive issue ie what is in the Cov jabs, graphene oxide and nanotech.... you may think I am conspiracy theorist ...look for international lawyer, dr. Reihner Fulmich he has solid proof on it... ( sorry I intentionally spell his name wrongly so my comment not taken off).. All books have been tempered since 6,000yrs ago and language too esp English... what why spelling is written that way... it's casting a spell and another eg TV program , it is to program you... internet or website... it's to net and web you inside... Ask yourself why the advancement of internet and cell phone is going thru lightning speed but when it come to free energy it has regressed and suppressed. If your reply is money than I am sorry you are not awake.. Search video on the topic of 1800 and 1900 World Fair/ Expo and ask yourself who lit up the Chicago World Fair in the 1900..... You can look into MK ultra project or the Montok project by DARPA too.
Hello Jason. Thank you for this, yet again, much appreciated video. I am a francophone from Quebec, Canada and I also speak english on a daly basis and I have to share that the decrease of the proper usage of the vocabulary is as bad in french that it is in English. It started about 60 years ago here. It is also occuring througout french speaking populations in other countries.
@@mjlucielamontagne5923 Bien sûr, je ne voulais pas être négatif mais il y a environ 25 ans, au lycée dans ma section Littéraire on voyait déjà des fautes orthographiques assez incroyables. Mais je ne jette la pierre à personne, j'évites de juger quoi que ce soit et encore moins qqun qui a du mal à écrire. Car on a pas tous les mêmes capacités, chances et intêrets. Aujourd'hui on est sur de la création de nouveau langage qui se veut réducteur pour aller "plus vite" dans ce monde déjà bien trop pressé et ça me chagrine un peu... dès fois. Un langage évolue c'est normal mais là on en est au stade de l'involution. Au final de toute façon ce n'est pas si grave, juste un peu tristounet à observer.
Idk how you do it but your words always reach me when i need them the most. Thank you once again jason and wishing you and your loved ones nothing but peace and prosperity. Missed you!! xx
Solid video, mate. And I do see AI as a threat to human existence. Especially due to the capitalistic nature from which it arises. The capitalists will sell it as beneficial to humanity but really all it is is greed and ego. Humans were far better of before technological civilization (in my opinion). On a side note…I don’t know if you remember but I ran into you and your wife randomly on a street in Chiang Mai. I had been a monk for bit up in the mountains. Just saying cheers from North Dakota. I had to come back to the US a few months ago for a family deal but am looking to return ton Chiang Mai come spring/summer. Cheers to you and your wife.
This isn’t the first time AI has existed. After every cataclysm we had to restart. People can create AI and AI can become a threat regardless of Capitalism. These technologies existed prior to our time, technology has already been suppressed and has been for a long time. Technology can be used for bad or good, just as any other tool, it’s about who holds that tool.
I've been sounding that alarm for years about the dangers of technology o the decline of human abilities and people tells me to come into the 21st century! lol No matter, they have freedom of choice, I'll keep developing myself and head onward when my time come. Than you for the posting❤❤😊😊
@@Adnancorner Thechnology can be both : very helpfull for mankind and very dangerous.We use technology today a lot for destroying the planet (and his inhabitants of course).
We are at the very tail end of the Kali Yuga where the blades of that fan are slowing down, but not yet stopped after the circuit/power has ended. We are still setting the stage for the Sathya (Truth) Age, the Golden Age of Aquarius to cycle in, as it has forever been destined to do so. Therefore, no matter where we find ourselves with both the positive and negative aspects of AI, it will still be important and needed in helping to set the stage and usher in the Sathya Yuga. The Kali Yuga is clearing out now and this is the part that can be quite negative and destructive, which is why our light, our faith, and our focused intentions of peace and love are never more important and needed. 🙏🏽🕉️💜
Please don't misrepresent the actual teachings with new age rubbish like "age of aquarius." Why do you culturally appropriate Sanatana Dharma to suit your western view? Western astrology has no place in Dharma. Please stop this nonsense. You disrespect every Indian in the world. Learn the Yugas and read the Puranas.
100% we are at end of Kali Yuga. AI does not mark the start of Kali Yuga. We already forgot our connection to source and are already materialistic. We are awakening to this now.
@@harrygreen3277i mean we learnt it from the greeks , yes i know you don't like to hear that but its fact. The difference is we focus on the the moon cycle with the sun which takes into consideration the 23" dilt in the earths axis.
Nope - long time to go before KaliYuga ends...........one of the signs would be that awareness and chanting of the Vedas will completely stop which hasn’t happened yet.
@@PS-ic4bp Why would the Vedic chanting stop if it isn’t over yet? As I mentioned, we are still in it, but at the end of it. The blades are still turning and we are being thrown about quite severely right now as it comes to an end. Similar to a game we played as children where we all hold hands or arms and one person starts turning in circles. The ones on the end will get tossed around more violently and will continue to move, even if the center person stops spinning around. Same can be said for airplanes in turbulence. It’s always worse in the back of the plane. May I ask what your sources are that support your opinion on where you think we are in the Kali Yuga and what your perception of “a long time” might be? We could very well be speaking of the same thing, but our perception of time regarding the Kali Yuga could be quite different.
so true what you say about language decline! i notice it even within me how im always at a loss for words and cannot speak out what im thinking. And even if i find the words others can not understand due to the missing ability… its a sad path we are on and even i am a. very optimistic person I see no solution right now
I am surprised at how many people in the comments are slaves to technology. Even simping out to AI. It seems as though Jason's video struck a nerve with those who are more serious about technology than spirituality. He only explains what the Puranas state. Young people being offended by technology being criticized is another layer of stupidity I didn't know existed.
We have been buying their garbage for a long time. Human stupidity has reached an all time high for not being able to see where this was going. Personally I'm offended, but humanity as a group doesn't deserve to make it. They were a disappointment 20 years ago, now they are just waiting to be cleaned up.
It's easy and comfortable. Desperate humans living in ignorance of themselves and the objective reality they are a part of will always grasp for the easiest and most comfortable solution to life's problems. Why do something difficult and complex that works, when you can just sit back and enslave yourself and never have a care in the world. Humans are either shepherds or sheep. Not all shepherds are good shepherds, and not all sheep follow the flock. This distinction is the only true difference that exists between human beings.
Light Bulb moment at 14:06 , Maybe this explains why the older parts of Gobeklei Tepe have more complex or advanced art and structures. Is it possible they “discovered” technologies that ultimately dumbed them down?
8:50 I was recently contemplating Orwell's Newspeak. Have often wondered how much if Orwell's ideas would be really due to what you are talking about here...
I hate my addiction to screens but its so hard to break because I feel generally lonely and I feel more connected to people through videos and social media
lol, 432 thumbs up on this video. 433 now! Great video... I'm a musician and Ive begun teaching people that the human body is AI, and what we do when we practice an instrument is essentially programming our own AI with a "prompt" and then eventually the body creates something more beautiful than the mind could have imagined.
As an older teacher (no longer young, but not yet near retirement), I found my colleagues, administrators, and my students’ parents surprisingly deficient intellectually. I was laid off during heavy budget cuts, but suspect that I was selected for lay off due to their discomfort with my intellect & willingness to speak up.
Doesn't Maharshi say even to drink a cup of water is predestined? That's what I get out of Yugas, prophecy, and the teaching of sages. They mostly tend to point to predestination. How else could there by accurate prophecies from thousands of years ago unless it's all set ahead of time? "All the world's a stage..." I don't think there is any stopping the playout of the Yuga Cycle... but one can always choose to realize and abide in the Self.
Fantastic Video Jason. The sheer amount of people that don't actually attempt to understand inner Truth or suffer properly causing neurotic tendencies is a problem AI aside, but I agree wholeheartedly that adding that into the mix certainly is making people inherently more narcissistic and tamasic ( lazy ) in fact. Ty for Sharing, I bet your book is interesting and something that may help wake up folks unaware of the Kali yugas overall collective de-evolvutionary effects. My take away from this was that the pursuit of altruistic impartiality is more important now more than any other time in human history to enhance the collective frequency of humanity. 🙏
Tamasik doesn't mean lazy. It can mean dark. Example, Maa Kali is a Tamasik deity. For some contexts, it can also mean ignorant. But "lazy" is a stretch.
I can only speak from my own experience but social media and the internet has definitely made me more smart. I spend all day learning new things and my curiosity and creativity is forever piqued by what I see. I'm well over 30. Kali Yuga is already here, I don't know what part AI will play in it but after this we cycle back to a Golden Age. Jaya Sri Krishna!
Same with me too. The internet has definitely helped me to learn huge amount of information that i would never have known about. And it speeds up our ability to do research.
The tool isn’t the problem, the problem is to get addicted to it and to spend your life watching a screen which will made you retarded and lack of social abilities, enjoy the internet but also enjoy your life, nature and the divinity in yourself. ¿Do you think that when you die you will leave here with all the internet smartnesses? 😂. If you say that technology and AI makes you smarter is because you have had fallen into the trap of materialism, nothing material about here is important. Open your eyes.
It is the age of transhumanism. They will ultimately merge biological humans with technology. Then the end (of the age) will come. After that, the Golden Age ones again. The Universe is cyclic.
Paramahansa Yogananda says we are just leaving Kali Yuga and in a ascending transition to Dwapara Yuga based on Yugas within Yugas in his book Autobioghraphy of a Yogi. Very interesting Thanks
Yugas are not only ages o timelapses of collective states of conciousness, they are also personal states of stratified dimensions of agency in the universe. Understanding methaphysical time is not an easy thing, and apocalyptic representations remain as mythemes or prototypical collective attractors of behavior. When apocalyptic and distopic ideas emerge in the collective unconcious, they can certainly have a prophetic cuality; as well as a "renaissance" cuality. The duration of the four yugas responds to a 4-3-2 fractal acceleration. So in some sense, time is accelerating and we are aproximating to the present (end of times) experiencing as many Yugas taking less time, but mantaining the same proportion of a "Maha Yuga - equals - 2 x Kali Yuga". There is a reason why a Maha Yuga (4 yugas together) lasts 4.32 million years, and there is a reason why a Kali Yuga lasts 432 000 years. Methaphysical units of time are not seconds, years of minutes. Not necesarily or at least, not uniquely. Artificial intelligence has nothing to do with artificial. By definition, artificial is just something done by humans... labeled as artificial if humans themselves consider their actions as "un-natural".
I do read 😅 books are amazing for information. I love how i can search the info from a real physical book and make all kinds of marks n notes there.. books ❤ books ❤ books ❤
Does anyone have advice on how to remain spiritually disciplined in a society which constantly pulls us from the path? I’m the only person in my community who has been graced to receive Truth. So I often find myself slipping, trying to avoid isolation by allowing myself to engage in the unhealthy behaviors of ignorance. Do I need to isolate myself until I’m established in a new and healthier frame of mind? I’m praying that I may find my satsang someday.
Karma Yoga (let life be your yoga). Meditate daily no matter how little (even if only for 5 minutes) and use your will to deepen within, surrendering to divine will again and again. There are so many ways to connect on social media should you feel isolated. Many blessings on your path Danielle Grace
For me kaliyug was obvious before AI & after AI it will intensify. Whatever it is my mind is at lotus feet of Vishnu. May he guide me towards eternal peace
Thank you for pointing this out. Sri Yukteswar had an entirely different calculation. He pointed out we had lost touch with the wisdom to even calculate the Yugas and demonstrated end of Kali start of Dwarpa. Certainly seems we don’t know with certainty.
It depends on the shift. When this event *happens* some will shift into higher consciousness and some will shift into lower consciousness. But they’ll be a 40 year peace period in which everyone will be given “a break” from how insanely crazy this world has become.
Hi Jason, I watched your fascinating insight into the spiritualism of Tiruvannamalai, in Tamil Nadu, India. Now, regarding the four Yugas, Sri Yuteswar Giri, the Guru of Paramhansa Yogananda (Author of the Biography of a Yogi) has written about the Yugas, the Holy Science, and accordingly, we are now in Dwarapa Yuga and not Kali Yuga . There is a challenge in understanding between divine years from human years. Noting that Homosapiens came out of Africa world between 200,000- 60,000 years ago. Lord Krishna died about 5,100 years ago, the start of Kali Yuga. This means we have to live through another 426,000 years of Kali Yuga!
@jonweston6294 The old systems may have been Moon based which would divide the ages roughly by 12. According to BK (shivani?) we are at the confluence of Kaliyug and Sathyug; both exist at the same time, depending on your awareness. BK claims 5000 years for the full cycle.
I occasionally watch Sat Yoga Institute channel on YT, and that channel has spoken about Kali Yuga for some time now and says we've already been.in Kali Yuga for some time now. Thoughts?
I just arrived here too He struck on something I've been thinking for a long time We need to well get out of the box Lol Understand how Our creativity got us all here basically and can get us out of this too Relating to the self doesn't mean we are all cut off from one another either Once you stop believing in the measuring we do your creative self has freedom to understand better We all believe in the guidance of our Parents however if you care about life we need to let go of their hands and live on our own you know? I love my family however we are all different
i'm not worried about ai, jason. when ai creates things that are lacking in heart, as you put it, people will be aware of it, and they will seek that which does have a heart. life naturally comes to an equilibrium, a balance. i trust in the wisdom of the universe. my only duty is to abide in the self...when i do that, the sun shines naturally, and the leaves fall from the trees. technologies come and go. there is no problem.
What an interesting thought and I agree - love how your consciousness making you keep inside. Seems like to me also: the darkness and heartlessness goes as long and as deep and as mad as we FINALLY 😮 get it? It seems like this. From vacuum robot (which is really cool) BUT - I took or still take the time to meditate when vacuuming - but nowadays people like the help to become mindless - just 'wanting' having done everything not for purposes we would like. But absolutely the Shaman view knows: Waves and waves and waves...
I'm not one for taking much notice in prophesies as that of itself promotes a preoccupation with materialism and guesswork ... but that aside this is a valuable lesson for people. Flashing images on a screen divide further an already confused mind. And as natural mental abilities atrophy due to lack of use, so do the abilities to process the signals from true nature within. The sum of a downgraded society is to enter into an even more dormant state of existence and becoming ever more available for exploitation by the corporate control. Society should not sleep walk into a future of ever increasing lack of freedom, even though it may well be a disguised form of slavery. This is not what humanity is about. As always the choice will be down to the individual to follow the herd, or otherwise. Keep up the good work Jason.
You should probably mention that there are different version regarding how exactly time from Hindu scriptures is converted to the Gregorian one. Because there is a version that says that we are entered Dvapara Yuga in 1700-1900, which means that we are on an uprising cycle, that already finished Kali Yuga.
I have already mentioned that in numerous other videos. Maybe you are new to the channel? What you are referring to is the short-count system created by Sri Yukteswar. Most Hindus don't acknowledge that one because the Yugas come from the Puranas, even though Yukteswar perspective is great as well. For some reason a lot of people outside of India have trouble accepting what the Puranas stated clearly, but I teach the actual tradition of Sanatana Dharma. If you want to see a thorough breakdown of both systems, the following link is my documentary on the Yugas. I think you will enjoy it: ruclips.net/video/Tl8_Wx9sp9k/видео.html
It might be useful to defer to Sadhguru on this topic for a different perspective. I have heard his perspective as such: AI will free us from all the things that our minds and bodies are preoccupied with as regards survival, meaning intellect, memory, and identity will be offset to machines. However, what remains is Chitta, or consciousness, that which machines cannot imbibe. Once we are no longer preoccupied with the absorption of impressions, we will finally turn inward, not by choice, but because there will be nowhere else to turn. This will be a great opportunity for humanity to develop their conscious awareness and recognize what makes human beings different from purely mechanistic or causal manifestations. Of course, the risk remains that we do not use this time wisely, and instead squander our inheritance from our ancestors, in which case, the Yugas are an excellent guide for how to avoid the disaster we could so easily play into without consciousness. It is best we read it as such.
I doesn’t matter in what yuga we are in if we are aware of our own mental processes and what motivates us. On an individual level it is possible to transcend any limitations and reach liberation, moksha, no matter outer conditions. Sure, Ai can be used to free up time and energy for us to use for more useful and long-lasting pursuits, such as spiritual advancements. It has even been suggested that spiritual progression is quicker during a general time of materialism and ignorance, if we manage to go our own way and against the general trends of the world. But this takes a mind of high level of conviction and self reliance. It also requires access to an authentic spiritual tradition and teachers that is able to instruct and lead the spiritually inclined person on a fruitful path towards true liberation. Kali yuga generally means that we have less access to such authentic teachers and also much denser obscurations in our minds that prevents us from accurately discerning what is truly authentic and virtuous and what is just fake. As kali yuga progresses these obstacles will only increase and result in a very long period of no real opportunity for spiritual progression due to complete absence of authentic guidance.
Jason. Thanks a million for your very enlightening talk. I am Hindu and read scriptures and 85 years of age but you so young and from Europe have taught me simething new. The " outsourcing" of our minds to the man made computer and now the greatest danger, AI. Thanks.
13:22 **AI: Catalyst for Kali Yuga, or Tool for Transcendence? ** Worried AI signals the end times? Think again! Check out this video to see how AI and humans are already teaming up like Go champions, achieving what neither could alone. Together, we can use AI for good, tackling challenges and reaching new heights. Don't fear AI - unleash its potential! ✨
At this point the idea is still quaint to me because CHATGBT can't tell the difference of when to pronounce "live" as the act of living or the act of being. It will say "live freely" but pronounce "live" as if announcing a live music show. I don't think it will have a Will either. Our Wills are mostly driven by emotions, which are chemical/biological and inaccessible to a computer. I do worry at the cyborg angle tho. It's certainly making us dumber. Even before smartphones, only 2% of Americans ever read a book.
Wow Jason, loved this video. In my opinion, this AI is just a phase in the KY. As per the Srimad Bhagavatam (it's a collection of events closely associated to Lord Krishna as per the Vaishnav tradition), the then most powerful King on the face of the planet earth (Parikshit Maharaj) met the demonic human manifestation of the modern day evil (Kali). Long story short, the King spared the wretched manifestation and ordered it to reside in "Gold". So I believe Kali has been influencing the rich and the powerful via the banking system ever since it's advent and has shifted to the west as banking became more and more prominent here. Banking is running the world and right now the focus of the bankers are on the AI. Time will tell if AI will sustain itself for the next T minus 5000 years, but yes it will greatly boost the agenda of that demon.
Hey Jason, really resonating with your thoughts on AI fears. It's crucial to recognize the duality of our world where challenges come, so do opportunities. While AI brings concerns, I believe our adaptability as a species will allow us to harness its benefits and continue thriving, just as we have for centuries. Loved the video!
We haven't had a technology that was so goal oriented, that it would eliminate any inefficiency, biological or otherwise. AI isn't something we can harness for our benefit
I think this was the most deeply insightful explanation of AI I have heard. It struck me that AI is initially built on a binary system of one and nought. If we look at the meaning of Advaita Vedanta it means not two, no second. Is this telling us about the dangers of binary which is dualistic thinking. Our nature is non dualistic and AI is in direct contravention of this. This was a very thoughtful and intelligent video thank you.
There you have it, when duality falsely expresses itself as the underlying foundation to all things in the place of the true triplicity which is at the same time ONE. We have the potential for evil born of maya to flower in human hearts that haven't seen truth's cutting light. For, with every two, there is a third that melds the oppsites into one, so there can be no excesses of either, only balance of the opposing odds through mutual reception that allows activity and passivity to express themselves through the unbiased neutral middle pillar which is their harmonic centre.
@thoughtstratum very well put. At one point I spent a bit of time on wondering how at some point, the birth of self awareness created the illusion of duality.. (If "I" EXIST so to speak, then that would implicate the opposite of I and exist) A whole myriad of problems arise from consciousness itself it would seem based upon this. The more self reflection the deeper the abyss and the more terror inducing the hell....
Dear Jason, I love your explanations 🙏🏻 thank you. Unfortunately, the way I see it, humanity managed to make a big mess on this planet and I think, we don't know how to get out of it. Regarding the Yugas, I hope the short version of it is the first one to be applied to us 😐 😮 or we are totally screwed! 🤔💭 maybe there are infinite "rules of time span" applied to each system. My words are not as good as I see things in my mind. So, I will use some examples to explain my crazy thoughts: the life span of a cell, a bee, a dog, a human, and so on. Maybe the millions of years Yugas are for the galaxy? Then the short one for our solar system, etc.. what do you think? I'm not that good in the spirituality path, so, I know very little Thank you 🙏🏻
The Kali Yoga epic is the most chaotic, testing, entropy ridden epic. It where we are forced to wake-up. AI is just another obstacle we will have to transcend. There is a prescience of humans having to learn the hard way when it comes to transcending. So yes
I dont see it will happen in Asia.. esp Chinese ethnicity they are so deep they havent got a clue which direction is up or down...Well laziness of investigating and not doing discernment instead relying on mainstream media is the downfall of Asia population.... and of course not investigating/ not a care what they put inside their body is a massive issue ie what is in the Cov jabs, graphene oxide and nanotech.... you may think I am conspiracy theorist ...look for international lawyer, dr. Reihner Fulmich.... ( sorry I intentionally spell his name wrongly so my comment not taken off)
For those of you who want to experience it as such: sure, why not? Sounds a bit crap to me though. I'll be exploring a much more empowered, life-affirming and harmonious corner of infinity. See you on the far side! :P
Very good and enlightening podcast Jason. I think our telephone devices and calculators are our problem. Couples who don't speak to each other, but are constantly busy with their cell phones, etc. I am a little older and I actually learned to count at school. I have been on holiday in India for 14 months now and I have noticed that many people can no longer count. For example, I buy something for 94 and pay with a 100 note and the seller uses a calculator to calculate how much he has to give back. This is often no different in Europe. With AI we become even dumber, because then AI does everything. I wonder where/how this will end
Thank you for this video, and your perspective. There is definitely more dependence (including myself) and oddly less connection between people with social media - to the point where people say things online that they would never say in person. Language/grammar HAVE deteriorated. Recently, a small town I live in lost internet connection for several days (I didn't because we have satellite internet) - it affected businesses and created panic (as evidenced by frantic FB posts - some using their cell phones for internet, which for some may have data limitations). I'm even wondering if tolerance and patience is less due to the immediate response this connectivity provides. Lots of food for thought.
I see 2 year old kids scrolling reels on phones in some homes in my neighborhood. Whenever kids start crying, parents just hand them mobile phones for distraction. Now I am wondering if they will end up as phone addict.
Nietzsche said it best: Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.
Life is essentially Experience. Direct Experience. Experience is action. Action to be directly lived at all levels, and not passively watched on a screen. Each of us has always a choice, but in this day and age the best choice is the hardest one to make.
What? Are you suggesting that we are somehow NOT Ai slaves right now? So what is it then that Spiritual People try to break free of? The Matrix? Is The Matrix not a ideal setup for this Ai enslavement..?

Hey? We are not at the start of Kali Yuga we are in the final stage. It is 23:59 .... maybe even later.
@@tremonryan wrong. Misinformation in the comments again. Please read the Puranas where the Yugas is from. No more disinfo.
Check the book "The Holy Science" by Swami Sri Yukteswar the reckoning of time was distorted by a decline in intellect as we entered the last Kali yuga. The last Kali yuga ended in 1800 b.c.. We are now in the Dvapara yuga or the bronze age. The Great Awakening is happening because we are on the incline toward the Treta yuga.
Jason please, respectfully, stop spreading misinformation about the length of the yugas, I'm sure you are aware of Sri yukteswar the holy science, 26 000 year precession of the equinoxes cycle. WE ARE NOT IN KALI YUGA BUT IN ASCENDING DWAPARA
It was the English imperialism that invaded India who tore down our understanding of the vedas. Don't keep perpetuating the history of english oppression PLEASE
I am a Gen-Z Telugu boy from Andhra Pradesh in the south. I am actually concerned about my language going extinct. Most of people are becoming westernized and try to speak English as much as they can just to look cool. And if a culture loses its language it loses everything. Even to read a newspaper in Telugu we need our parents help to understand and we don’t have the command over our language as much as our parents or grandparents have. Telugu is 80% Sanskrit and it’s a beautiful language. Its so sad to see that people are not caring about the language dying that has all ancient scriptures which are very essential. And I am suffering from it because I am reading Bhagavad Gita in English to understand better. And not reading it in Telugu because it’s too complicated for me
Attachment leads to suffering indeed. I hope you are able to make peace with change.
@@bushi106 I am not too attached to it. It makes me sad to see a language that exposed me to spirituality is dying and the coming generations would not get to have the experience like I had.
There have been languages that were born, flourished and then died before the origin of Sanskrit or Telugu. That's how it is.
@@rupeshmandal...nope.
U r wrong in ths matter
It may also be that the Telugu language recovers through your actions. You are also part of what is and as good a creative force as anything else. I hope it is so. Languages like yours carry much insight for future generations. Do what your intuition tells you.
Key take-aways for me: The loss of vocabulary and creative writing these days, the lack of heart inherent in AI, the fact that we must "use it or lose it" and cultivate intelligence vs being passive consumers. All 100% true and, like you say, the remedy is to inquire within and find balance.☯🕉
Yeah.......no!
Balance does not work for a Human Being.
And im not pretending to be something else than you are my brother, please dont get me wrong.
But Balance ONLY works for Mortals and Demi-Gods.
I dont need to tell you that we are NO Demi-God..
But we do tend to believe that we are Mortals. (We are not)
When a Human uses Balance as its main tool of measure, we wil always find we tip the Balance because of our tendencies.
This is why when a Human uses 1 Religion to balance his life, he condems all other Religions and those People who believe in these other Religions.
In turn, the Human that seeks Balance for himself, wil cause inbalance to others that try to find the same path in a different way.
Balance causes you to say yes, to something that is good for you.
And the same Balance causes you to say no, to something that is not good for you.
A example...
In situation A:
A beautiful woman you like, and she needs your help.
What wil you do?
You wil most likely help her.
Situation B:
A Woman who is a long gone stinking junky wants your help.
What wil you do?
You wil most likely NOT help her.
THIS is what Balance does.
If it is good for ME, I wil do it.
If it is not good for me, I wont do it.
This makes a Human inconsistent.
Humans need a (imaginary) Scale to weigh things out..
Take the example I gave just now..
And put on the Scale, the subject of the matter...
In this case it is:
Helping a woman in need.
Then ask yourself 2 Questions.
Would I help this beautiful woman i want?
Answer: yes!
Now..
Would I help this Junky stinking woman i dont want?
Answer: HELL NO!
Good....
So now your answer to the beautifull woman should be:
HELL NO!
Because you wil say HELL NO to the Junky..
Same way other way around, that if you say: YES! to the beautifull woman.
You MUST say YES! to the stinking Junky..
This is OUR kind of Balance..
It is done with a Scale.
You wil always have the answer to your own questions this way.
When I say YES to the positive, I must say YES to the negative.
(Wil I stil do it?^)
Yes/No
When I say NO the negative, I must say NO to the positive.
(Wil I stil NOT do it?^)
Yes/No
The 1 answer that comes from both questions is called the Correct answer.
You wil DO things that you normally DONT want to do.
You WONT do things that you normally DO want to do..
Elon Musk will turn human into the form of cyborg.

" the lack of hear INHERENT in AI." .... . . .
Jason at 81 years old I see the younger generations are loosing there health and running to the doctors because the way they are living. Their health is being compromised because of the food they eat. I think you explained AI very well to me as l am just starting to understand the way the world is heading. l love your your programmes and I thank you for all your effort
Yeah, and whose generation made it that way? Your generation sold the younger generations out to corporations. You can’t blame the kids, look into the mirror. You generation and it’s way of voting and beliefs, or lack of beliefs, (except your own immediate selfish interests.), created this hellscape and doomed world. You need to accept responsibility for your actions, or lack of. Your generation created this mess.
It's nit food really bro, it's 9/10 life style choices bro.
Let's forget the 10 cheeseburgers a week for a second 😂
People.do drugs, partly well into their 40s, chase women, no proper sleep, working jobs that are physically demanding.
That shit takes a tole bro. Health is wholistic, which means it's about everything you do. Not just eat, work out, and repeat. Mental health is in there too. Infant I'd place me talk health at peak issue with some folks who have problems 😂😂
Can't smoke smoke.meth for.3 years straight and expect to come out healthy even if you work out and get clean and shit 😂😂😂 them teeth my boy ant coming back, and them holes in ya brain are simi permanent 😄
So like man lets.be real, it's not.food. these folks legit don't know how to exist. 😂😂😂
I’m a 40 year old female. I definitely agree with what you’re saying. So many are on drugs and smoke weed or drink all day just to get by day to day life. No one is really living just surviving. I walk around in a state of deep concern daily from what I see. No one has ability to critically think anymore and common sense is very foreign. I feel like my hand will forever be over my mouth along with a gasp. I’m baffled and dumbfounded.

Who on this Earth thinks we are in the golden age? It's pretty apparent to me that we're in the dark age...Just found this channel today, it's top notch, love it.
Yes I think so too, while as a woman we might have more freedom now, as we are told. But ancient India was better for us as per scriptures I read. Heck we had women spiritual seekers, middle age put us under veil after the Islamic invasions. And yes now it comparatively free than veil, but it’s still not enough to make us seekers. We do have women seekers, but few few
We are in the bronze age. You rhink this is the dark age? Have you not read history? Man is clearly awakening. Please read "The Holy Science" Swami Sri Yukteswar.
@@dustinsmith9980 Did you watch the video related to these comments? I simply agree with Jason that we are very likely in the early stage of the Kali Yuga. I'll check out the book you mention...But look out into the world and let me know where you see our awakening.
@@tommroykalyug was also around when Sikhism was founded .
@@tommroy People often confuse Divine Yuga with Mahayuga. Maybe do some research on the difference, first.
Nameste, Jason. It is an absolutely important and crucial video. Definitely have seen the effects of technology and how it has domesticated our society. I live in New York City, and I see how consumed people are with technology, people on the train, all on their phones or laptops. I see couples on dates not even talking to each other because they are on their phones. Ironically, I have more books than clothes, something about running your fingers through pages and underlining things that resonate with you. Thanks again, Jason, for sharing meaningful content. Hopefully, more people can go within and live from that inward perspective. Shanti! Shanti!Shanti! Appreciate you, Jason.
Excellent video. Grateful for your work.
Lol, I remember being in central London once, on a day out with my nephews (now in their late twenties) and they wanted to rush home, so they could join an online game; I remember feeling so disappointed, as I had spent a fair amount on the day trip and it was only early afternoon. When I said 'no', they got really grumpy, so, I decided to head back anyway, being the aunty, I did not want to spoil their day; needless to say, my awareness realised the change in generations. Totally agree, I love the feel of a book in my hands.
Sad, but true 😔
So true Jason! One of your best, a message that, criminally, so few will get to understand!
When life becomes bitter and impossible, all conditions are sordid and ugly, and living itself is a dreary burden, it is because contact with our divine self has been lost.
Divinity literally exists as a bulwark against such conditions….
@jonweston6294 people are too distracted. They have to desire truth. Ive been a se-er and seeker most my life. The physical world has people in a trance.
Awesome video. Thank you ❤
Great video, Jason. Thanks for taking us on such a thoughtful journey, and posing important questions for us to ponder about our sovereignty and future.
Whatever the tech and perception of the age we're in, without clean water, fertile soil and nutrient dense food, man is brown bread!
Yes you are right ❤❤❤❤
Hinduism never lies. If they say it, then it is eternal truth. Just follow them and you never be in the middle of mess.
True dat
Yes however as a hindu I have my doubt on time 4lakh+ interpretation by us
But there is no doubt about other things everything is eternal truth 🙏💗🙏
Jai shree ram 🥰🥰
Technology and social media IS dumbing us down. You can watch a video instead of reading a book or article, but you don't retain what you learned as much by watching a video as by reading because when you read, you can pause and mull over an idea which cuts a groove in your brain. We even had audio books for everything including some services that will read to you the Cliffs Notes version. Also, we used to memorize phone numbers before the advent of the smartphone. We used maps and memorized directions before GPS was created.
Very well spoken, THANX! 🙏🏻
Very good insight into the topic brother
A nicely articulated summary of the current crisis. I work in tech and regard AI with great skepticism, if not suspicion. I'm very concerned about the deterioration of language skills as well, as writing is a central activity for me. Your thoughts on the general decline in consciousness and compassion resonate with clarity. I appreciate your simple proposal of returning to reading books. I'd also suggest writing reflections, intentions, stories, or recollections in journals. It can be quite healing.
I'm a Catholic who has always had a deep interest in the Vedas and Mahabharata. My girlfriend is Buddhist (follower of Thich Nhat Hanh), and we frequently talk about the philosophy of the two religions. Many of the themes you bring up are along the lines of what we've discussed.
Well laziness of investigating and do discernment instead relying on mainstream media is the downfall of Asia populations.... and of course not investigating/ not a care what they put inside their body is a massive issue ie what is in the Cov jabs, graphene oxide and nanotech.... you may think I am conspiracy theorist ...look for international lawyer, dr. Reihner Fulmich he has solid proof on it... ( sorry I intentionally spell his name wrongly so my comment not taken off).. All books have been tempered since 6,000yrs ago and language too esp English... what why spelling is written that way... it's casting a spell and another eg TV program , it is to program you... internet or website... it's to net and web you inside... Ask yourself why the advancement of internet and cell phone is going thru lightning speed but when it come to free energy it has regressed and suppressed. If your reply is money than I am sorry you are not awake.. Search video on the topic of 1800 and 1900 World Fair/ Expo and ask yourself who lit up the Chicago World Fair in the 1900..... You can look into MK ultra project or the Montok project by DARPA too.
Thanks!
Hello Jason. Thank you for this, yet again, much appreciated video. I am a francophone from Quebec, Canada and I also speak english on a daly basis and I have to share that the decrease of the proper usage of the vocabulary is as bad in french that it is in English. It started about 60 years ago here. It is also occuring througout french speaking populations in other countries.
It's the same with german. Once known for its great philosophical thinkers.
Same with my mother language Marathi ❤😢
Je confirme et ca fait deja qques decennies. Aujourdhui c est juste catastrophique...

Thanks
Spot on Jason, And yes I believe so too.
🙏 excellent points!
Solid video, mate. And I do see AI as a threat to human existence. Especially due to the capitalistic nature from which it arises. The capitalists will sell it as beneficial to humanity but really all it is is greed and ego. Humans were far better of before technological civilization (in my opinion). On a side note…I don’t know if you remember but I ran into you and your wife randomly on a street in Chiang Mai. I had been a monk for bit up in the mountains. Just saying cheers from North Dakota. I had to come back to the US a few months ago for a family deal but am looking to return ton Chiang Mai come spring/summer. Cheers to you and your wife.
Of course I remember you, brother. It was great to meet you that day. I hope you are well.
Who created ais? Ais will do the same they will want to rulevover those that think they gonna be their slaves.
It depends on people, really. AI usage for solely convenience can both be good and bad. We would need context.
This isn’t the first time AI has existed. After every cataclysm we had to restart. People can create AI and AI can become a threat regardless of Capitalism. These technologies existed prior to our time, technology has already been suppressed and has been for a long time. Technology can be used for bad or good, just as any other tool, it’s about who holds that tool.
I've been sounding that alarm for years about the dangers of technology o the decline of human abilities and people tells me to come into the 21st century! lol No matter, they have freedom of choice, I'll keep developing myself and head onward when my time come. Than you for the posting❤❤😊😊
You are USING TECHNOLOGY right now.. you are using it to comment..
@@Adnancorner Ironically, your own comment proves him right...
@@Adnancorner Thechnology can be both : very helpfull for mankind and very dangerous.We use technology today a lot for destroying the planet (and his inhabitants of course).
We are at the very tail end of the Kali Yuga where the blades of that fan are slowing down, but not yet stopped after the circuit/power has ended.
We are still setting the stage for the Sathya (Truth) Age, the Golden Age of Aquarius to cycle in, as it has forever been destined to do so. Therefore, no matter where we find ourselves with both the positive and negative aspects of AI, it will still be important and needed in helping to set the stage and usher in the Sathya Yuga. The Kali Yuga is clearing out now and this is the part that can be quite negative and destructive, which is why our light, our faith, and our focused intentions of peace and love are never more important and needed. 🙏🏽🕉️💜
Please don't misrepresent the actual teachings with new age rubbish like "age of aquarius." Why do you culturally appropriate Sanatana Dharma to suit your western view? Western astrology has no place in Dharma. Please stop this nonsense. You disrespect every Indian in the world. Learn the Yugas and read the Puranas.
100% we are at end of Kali Yuga.
AI does not mark the start of Kali Yuga.
We already forgot our connection to source and are already materialistic.
We are awakening to this now.
@@harrygreen3277i mean we learnt it from the greeks , yes i know you don't like to hear that but its fact. The difference is we focus on the the moon cycle with the sun which takes into consideration the 23" dilt in the earths axis.
Nope - long time to go before KaliYuga ends...........one of the signs would be that awareness and chanting of the Vedas will completely stop which hasn’t happened yet.
@@PS-ic4bp Why would the Vedic chanting stop if it isn’t over yet? As I mentioned, we are still in it, but at the end of it. The blades are still turning and we are being thrown about quite severely right now as it comes to an end. Similar to a game we played as children where we all hold hands or arms and one person starts turning in circles. The ones on the end will get tossed around more violently and will continue to move, even if the center person stops spinning around.
Same can be said for airplanes in turbulence. It’s always worse in the back of the plane.
May I ask what your sources are that support your opinion on where you think we are in the Kali Yuga and what your perception of “a long time” might be? We could very well be speaking of the same thing, but our perception of time regarding the Kali Yuga could be quite different.
so true what you say about language decline! i notice it even within me how im always at a loss for words and cannot speak out what im thinking. And even if i find the words others can not understand due to the missing ability… its a sad path we are on and even i am a. very optimistic person I see no solution right now
Wow. I thought it is only me and my bad memory/linguistic abilities. I am loosing my freaking mother tongue, the nuances of it.
I am surprised at how many people in the comments are slaves to technology. Even simping out to AI. It seems as though Jason's video struck a nerve with those who are more serious about technology than spirituality. He only explains what the Puranas state. Young people being offended by technology being criticized is another layer of stupidity I didn't know existed.
We have been buying their garbage for a long time. Human stupidity has reached an all time high for not being able to see where this was going. Personally I'm offended, but humanity as a group doesn't deserve to make it. They were a disappointment 20 years ago, now they are just waiting to be cleaned up.
It's easy and comfortable. Desperate humans living in ignorance of themselves and the objective reality they are a part of will always grasp for the easiest and most comfortable solution to life's problems. Why do something difficult and complex that works, when you can just sit back and enslave yourself and never have a care in the world. Humans are either shepherds or sheep. Not all shepherds are good shepherds, and not all sheep follow the flock. This distinction is the only true difference that exists between human beings.
Light Bulb moment at 14:06 , Maybe this explains why the older parts of Gobeklei Tepe have more complex or advanced art and structures. Is it possible they “discovered” technologies that ultimately dumbed them down?
I was so impressed by this video, I went out and bought 'spiritual freedom in the digital age'
8:50 I was recently contemplating Orwell's Newspeak. Have often wondered how much if Orwell's ideas would be really due to what you are talking about here...
Thank you for this ❤
I hate my addiction to screens but its so hard to break because I feel generally lonely and I feel more connected to people through videos and social media
Yeah I also suffer from this problem 😪 .
lol, 432 thumbs up on this video. 433 now! Great video... I'm a musician and Ive begun teaching people that the human body is AI, and what we do when we practice an instrument is essentially programming our own AI with a "prompt" and then eventually the body creates something more beautiful than the mind could have imagined.
As an older teacher (no longer young, but not yet near retirement), I found my colleagues, administrators, and my students’ parents surprisingly deficient intellectually. I was laid off during heavy budget cuts, but suspect that I was selected for lay off due to their discomfort with my intellect & willingness to speak up.
You reminded them of their own lack of worth and merit.
Doesn't Maharshi say even to drink a cup of water is predestined? That's what I get out of Yugas, prophecy, and the teaching of sages. They mostly tend to point to predestination. How else could there by accurate prophecies from thousands of years ago unless it's all set ahead of time? "All the world's a stage..." I don't think there is any stopping the playout of the Yuga Cycle... but one can always choose to realize and abide in the Self.
Jason. It is an absolutely important and crucial video.🧘🧘♂🧘♀🌈🌞🪔🙏
Fantastic Video Jason.
The sheer amount of people that don't actually attempt to understand inner Truth or suffer properly causing neurotic tendencies is a problem AI aside, but I agree wholeheartedly that adding that into the mix certainly is making people inherently more narcissistic and tamasic ( lazy ) in fact.
Ty for Sharing, I bet your book is interesting and something that may help wake up folks unaware of the Kali yugas overall collective de-evolvutionary effects.
My take away from this was that the pursuit of altruistic impartiality is more important now more than any other time in human history to enhance the collective frequency of humanity. 🙏
Tamasik doesn't mean lazy.
It can mean dark. Example, Maa Kali is a Tamasik deity.
For some contexts, it can also mean ignorant.
But "lazy" is a stretch.
Many times I don't see much of a Point in discussing things we have no Control over.
Yesssss the way people. Talk and spell now is insane
I can only speak from my own experience but social media and the internet has definitely made me more smart. I spend all day learning new things and my curiosity and creativity is forever piqued by what I see. I'm well over 30. Kali Yuga is already here, I don't know what part AI will play in it but after this we cycle back to a Golden Age. Jaya Sri Krishna!
Same with me too. The internet has definitely helped me to learn huge amount of information that i would never have known about. And it speeds up our ability to do research.
The tool isn’t the problem, the problem is to get addicted to it and to spend your life watching a screen which will made you retarded and lack of social abilities, enjoy the internet but also enjoy your life, nature and the divinity in yourself. ¿Do you think that when you die you will leave here with all the internet smartnesses? 😂. If you say that technology and AI makes you smarter is because you have had fallen into the trap of materialism, nothing material about here is important. Open your eyes.
It is the age of transhumanism. They will ultimately merge biological humans with technology. Then the end (of the age) will come. After that, the Golden Age ones again. The Universe is cyclic.
@@slimdusty6328we are in the midst of the GREAT SOLAR FLASH 🌟 our golden quantum age has just begun 🎉✨🧬
We are well into it already
Paramahansa Yogananda says we are just leaving Kali Yuga and in a ascending transition to Dwapara Yuga based on Yugas within Yugas in his book Autobioghraphy of a Yogi. Very interesting Thanks
Yugas are not only ages o timelapses of collective states of conciousness, they are also personal states of stratified dimensions of agency in the universe. Understanding methaphysical time is not an easy thing, and apocalyptic representations remain as mythemes or prototypical collective attractors of behavior. When apocalyptic and distopic ideas emerge in the collective unconcious, they can certainly have a prophetic cuality; as well as a "renaissance" cuality. The duration of the four yugas responds to a 4-3-2 fractal acceleration. So in some sense, time is accelerating and we are aproximating to the present (end of times) experiencing as many Yugas taking less time, but mantaining the same proportion of a "Maha Yuga - equals - 2 x Kali Yuga". There is a reason why a Maha Yuga (4 yugas together) lasts 4.32 million years, and there is a reason why a Kali Yuga lasts 432 000 years. Methaphysical units of time are not seconds, years of minutes. Not necesarily or at least, not uniquely. Artificial intelligence has nothing to do with artificial. By definition, artificial is just something done by humans... labeled as artificial if humans themselves consider their actions as "un-natural".
I do read 😅 books are amazing for information. I love how i can search the info from a real physical book and make all kinds of marks n notes there.. books ❤ books ❤ books ❤
Does anyone have advice on how to remain spiritually disciplined in a society which constantly pulls us from the path? I’m the only person in my community who has been graced to receive Truth. So I often find myself slipping, trying to avoid isolation by allowing myself to engage in the unhealthy behaviors of ignorance. Do I need to isolate myself until I’m established in a new and healthier frame of mind? I’m praying that I may find my satsang someday.
Karma Yoga (let life be your yoga). Meditate daily no matter how little (even if only for 5 minutes) and use your will to deepen within, surrendering to divine will again and again. There are so many ways to connect on social media should you feel isolated. Many blessings on your path

If the world of dualism is akin to a dream, why does this matter?
I had the same thought. I suppose the point is to understand the dream in order to transcend it.
Thank you. I appreciate your thought.@@lyellmurray7355
Hi Jason, have you read “The Holy Science” by Swami Sri Yukteswa? According to Sri Yukteswa, we are out of the Khali Yuga. Thoughts?
For me kaliyug was obvious before AI & after AI it will intensify.
Whatever it is my mind is at lotus feet of Vishnu. May he guide me towards eternal peace
Why everyone is misspelling Mahabharata? It means the greater India maha-baarata
Some hindu experts say we are moving to light from darkness.(which is 12000 year theory )
Some say we going in more darkness(432000 theory)
Thank you for pointing this out. Sri Yukteswar had an entirely different calculation. He pointed out we had lost touch with the wisdom to even calculate the Yugas and demonstrated end of Kali start of Dwarpa.
Certainly seems we don’t know with certainty.
@@daniellegrace4623 ...yep
It depends on the shift. When this event *happens* some will shift into higher consciousness and some will shift into lower consciousness. But they’ll be a 40 year peace period in which everyone will be given “a break” from how insanely crazy this world has become.
We are shifting into a mini golden age within the dark age as it seems. It has to be earned tho.
Humankind has been enslaved for thousands of years already.. "fire is fire if you ask me" - John Constantine
Hi Jason, I watched your fascinating insight into the spiritualism of Tiruvannamalai, in Tamil Nadu, India. Now, regarding the four Yugas, Sri Yuteswar Giri, the Guru of Paramhansa Yogananda (Author of the Biography of a Yogi) has written about the Yugas, the Holy Science, and accordingly, we are now in Dwarapa Yuga and not Kali Yuga . There is a challenge in understanding between divine years from human years. Noting that Homosapiens came out of Africa world between 200,000- 60,000 years ago. Lord Krishna died about 5,100 years ago, the start of Kali Yuga. This means we have to live through another 426,000 years of Kali Yuga!
@jonweston6294I agree.
@jonweston6294you're right....we are in kali yuga where gods name is only used for deception
@jonweston6294 The old systems may have been Moon based which would divide the ages roughly by 12. According to BK (shivani?) we are at the confluence of Kaliyug and Sathyug; both exist at the same time, depending on your awareness. BK claims 5000 years for the full cycle.
I occasionally watch Sat Yoga Institute channel on YT, and that channel has spoken about Kali Yuga for some time now and says we've already been.in Kali Yuga for some time now. Thoughts?
Thank you Jason, I always find your lectures interesting.
I just arrived here too He struck on something I've been thinking for a long time We need to well get out of the box Lol Understand how Our creativity got us all here basically and can get us out of this too Relating to the self doesn't mean we are all cut off from one another either Once you stop believing in the measuring we do your creative self has freedom to understand better We all believe in the guidance of our Parents however if you care about life we need to let go of their hands and live on our own you know? I love my family however we are all different
What are your thoughts on audiobooks? And reading the book in a kindle?
i'm not worried about ai, jason.
when ai creates things that are lacking in heart, as you put it, people will be aware of it, and they will seek that which does have a heart.
life naturally comes to an equilibrium, a balance.
i trust in the wisdom of the universe.
my only duty is to abide in the self...when i do that, the sun shines naturally, and the leaves fall from the trees.
technologies come and go.
there is no problem.
What an interesting thought and I agree - love how your consciousness making you keep inside. Seems like to me also: the darkness and heartlessness goes as long and as deep and as mad as we FINALLY 😮 get it? It seems like this. From vacuum robot (which is really cool) BUT - I took or still take the time to meditate when vacuuming - but nowadays people like the help to become mindless - just 'wanting' having done everything not for purposes we would like. But absolutely the Shaman view knows: Waves and waves and waves...
Interesting perspective❤
Hi Jason Gregory: Thanks for what you are doing here. Is it ok to re-post this on my channel?
I'm not one for taking much notice in prophesies as that of itself promotes a preoccupation with materialism and guesswork ... but that aside this is a valuable lesson for people.
Flashing images on a screen divide further an already confused mind. And as natural mental abilities atrophy due to lack of use, so do the abilities to process the signals from true nature within. The sum of a downgraded society is to enter into an even more dormant state of existence and becoming ever more available for exploitation by the corporate control.
Society should not sleep walk into a future of ever increasing lack of freedom, even though it may well be a disguised form of slavery. This is not what humanity is about. As always the choice will be down to the individual to follow the herd, or otherwise.
Keep up the good work Jason.
Totally agree I teach that to my students we are clearing in kali yoga all sign for prophesy are just in front our eyes
Thank you! 🕉️💜🙂
Thank you for sharing this.
You should probably mention that there are different version regarding how exactly time from Hindu scriptures is converted to the Gregorian one.
Because there is a version that says that we are entered Dvapara Yuga in 1700-1900, which means that we are on an uprising cycle, that already finished Kali Yuga.
I have already mentioned that in numerous other videos. Maybe you are new to the channel? What you are referring to is the short-count system created by Sri Yukteswar. Most Hindus don't acknowledge that one because the Yugas come from the Puranas, even though Yukteswar perspective is great as well. For some reason a lot of people outside of India have trouble accepting what the Puranas stated clearly, but I teach the actual tradition of Sanatana Dharma. If you want to see a thorough breakdown of both systems, the following link is my documentary on the Yugas. I think you will enjoy it: ruclips.net/video/Tl8_Wx9sp9k/видео.html
no way there is no indication of that , We are in Kaliyuga
Thank you Jason for this video.
It might be useful to defer to Sadhguru on this topic for a different perspective. I have heard his perspective as such: AI will free us from all the things that our minds and bodies are preoccupied with as regards survival, meaning intellect, memory, and identity will be offset to machines. However, what remains is Chitta, or consciousness, that which machines cannot imbibe. Once we are no longer preoccupied with the absorption of impressions, we will finally turn inward, not by choice, but because there will be nowhere else to turn. This will be a great opportunity for humanity to develop their conscious awareness and recognize what makes human beings different from purely mechanistic or causal manifestations. Of course, the risk remains that we do not use this time wisely, and instead squander our inheritance from our ancestors, in which case, the Yugas are an excellent guide for how to avoid the disaster we could so easily play into without consciousness. It is best we read it as such.
Very true👌🏽
I doesn’t matter in what yuga we are in if we are aware of our own mental processes and what motivates us. On an individual level it is possible to transcend any limitations and reach liberation, moksha, no matter outer conditions. Sure, Ai can be used to free up time and energy for us to use for more useful and long-lasting pursuits, such as spiritual advancements. It has even been suggested that spiritual progression is quicker during a general time of materialism and ignorance, if we manage to go our own way and against the general trends of the world. But this takes a mind of high level of conviction and self reliance. It also requires access to an authentic spiritual tradition and teachers that is able to instruct and lead the spiritually inclined person on a fruitful path towards true liberation. Kali yuga generally means that we have less access to such authentic teachers and also much denser obscurations in our minds that prevents us from accurately discerning what is truly authentic and virtuous and what is just fake. As kali yuga progresses these obstacles will only increase and result in a very long period of no real opportunity for spiritual progression due to complete absence of authentic guidance.
He is not who he says he is.
@@par-excellencecan u elaborate?
Jason.
Thanks a million for your very enlightening talk. I am Hindu and read scriptures and 85 years of age but you so young and from Europe have taught me simething new. The " outsourcing" of our minds to the man made computer and now the greatest danger, AI. Thanks.
Meh, I am already a slave of the system...AI is just another boss.

**AI: Catalyst for Kali Yuga, or Tool for Transcendence? **
Worried AI signals the end times? Think again! Check out this video to see how AI and humans are already teaming up like Go champions, achieving what neither could alone. Together, we can use AI for good, tackling challenges and reaching new heights. Don't fear AI - unleash its potential! ✨
At this point the idea is still quaint to me because CHATGBT can't tell the difference of when to pronounce "live" as the act of living or the act of being.
It will say "live freely" but pronounce "live" as if announcing a live music show.
I don't think it will have a Will either. Our Wills are mostly driven by emotions, which are chemical/biological and inaccessible to a computer.
I do worry at the cyborg angle tho.
It's certainly making us dumber.
Even before smartphones, only 2% of Americans ever read a book.
Its sucks that I have to be alive during the kali yuga 😢
Thank you 🙏 ❤
All we would have to do is *UNPLUG*, but, we won't.
Wow Jason, loved this video. In my opinion, this AI is just a phase in the KY. As per the Srimad Bhagavatam (it's a collection of events closely associated to Lord Krishna as per the Vaishnav tradition), the then most powerful King on the face of the planet earth (Parikshit Maharaj) met the demonic human manifestation of the modern day evil (Kali). Long story short, the King spared the wretched manifestation and ordered it to reside in "Gold". So I believe Kali has been influencing the rich and the powerful via the banking system ever since it's advent and has shifted to the west as banking became more and more prominent here. Banking is running the world and right now the focus of the bankers are on the AI. Time will tell if AI will sustain itself for the next T minus 5000 years, but yes it will greatly boost the agenda of that demon.
Very interesting interpretation! ⚛️
Hey Jason, really resonating with your thoughts on AI fears. It's crucial to recognize the duality of our world where challenges come, so do opportunities. While AI brings concerns, I believe our adaptability as a species will allow us to harness its benefits and continue thriving, just as we have for centuries. Loved the video!
We haven't had a technology that was so goal oriented, that it would eliminate any inefficiency, biological or otherwise. AI isn't something we can harness for our benefit
2:59 Jason, everybody believes we are in sat yuga?😮😢
Kali-Yuga has already ended….
Really good explanation of topics. Great Video.
I think this was the most deeply insightful explanation of AI I have heard. It struck me that AI is initially built on a binary system of one and nought. If we look at the meaning of Advaita Vedanta it means not two, no second. Is this telling us about the dangers of binary which is dualistic thinking. Our nature is non dualistic and AI is in direct contravention of this. This was a very thoughtful and intelligent video thank you.
There you have it, when duality falsely expresses itself as the underlying foundation to all things in the place of the true triplicity which is at the same time ONE. We have the potential for evil born of maya to flower in human hearts that haven't seen truth's cutting light. For, with every two, there is a third that melds the oppsites into one, so there can be no excesses of either, only balance of the opposing odds through mutual reception that allows activity and passivity to express themselves through the unbiased neutral middle pillar which is their harmonic centre.
Beautifully explained. Thank you. I wish you well.
@thoughtstratum very well put. At one point I spent a bit of time on wondering how at some point, the birth of self awareness created the illusion of duality.. (If "I" EXIST so to speak, then that would implicate the opposite of I and exist) A whole myriad of problems arise from consciousness itself it would seem based upon this.
The more self reflection the deeper the abyss and the more terror inducing the hell....
This is a great video that explains your perspective very well. Cautionary. 👍
This is just the way it is. One yuga after another. 🙏
And cycles within cycles
I’m so happy we have access to the Buddhi
Dear Jason,
I love your explanations 🙏🏻 thank you.
Unfortunately, the way I see it, humanity managed to make a big mess on this planet and I think, we don't know how to get out of it.
Regarding the Yugas, I hope the short version of it is the first one to be applied to us 😐 😮 or we are totally screwed!
🤔💭 maybe there are infinite "rules of time span" applied to each system. My words are not as good as I see things in my mind. So, I will use some examples to explain my crazy thoughts: the life span of a cell, a bee, a dog, a human, and so on. Maybe the millions of years Yugas are for the galaxy? Then the short one for our solar system, etc.. what do you think?
I'm not that good in the spirituality path, so, I know very little
Thank you 🙏🏻
People often confuse Divine Yuga with Mahayuga. Maybe do some research on the difference, first.
Humans were slaves from the day one of existence. It's not easy to live on earth for no one
The Kali Yoga epic is the most chaotic, testing, entropy ridden epic. It where we are forced to wake-up. AI is just another obstacle we will have to transcend. There is a prescience of humans having to learn the hard way when it comes to transcending. So yes
Epoch
i agree it just seems another obstacle to greatness in the end. we gotta stay strong through the tough times. keep aware and keep strong.
I truly wish I had your Hegelian optimism
I dont see it will happen in Asia.. esp Chinese ethnicity they are so deep they havent got a clue which direction is up or down...Well laziness of investigating and not doing discernment instead relying on mainstream media is the downfall of Asia population.... and of course not investigating/ not a care what they put inside their body is a massive issue ie what is in the Cov jabs, graphene oxide and nanotech.... you may think I am conspiracy theorist ...look for international lawyer, dr. Reihner Fulmich.... ( sorry I intentionally spell his name wrongly so my comment not taken off)
Within versus without is dualistic,so when we say within we need to define the concept,very good video
430,000 years of straight torture to a group of souls is a crazy idea. Sorry but that is bullshit. Dont forget God is pure LOVE.
God is not torturing us,It is us who is torturing ourselves
For those of you who want to experience it as such: sure, why not?
Sounds a bit crap to me though. I'll be exploring a much more empowered, life-affirming and harmonious corner of infinity.
See you on the far side! :P
Very good and enlightening podcast Jason.
I think our telephone devices and calculators are our problem. Couples who don't speak to each other, but are constantly busy with their cell phones, etc. I am a little older and I actually learned to count at school. I have been on holiday in India for 14 months now and I have noticed that many people can no longer count. For example, I buy something for 94 and pay with a 100 note and the seller uses a calculator to calculate how much he has to give back. This is often no different in Europe. With AI we become even dumber, because then AI does everything. I wonder where/how this will end
Thank you for this video, and your perspective. There is definitely more dependence (including myself) and oddly less connection between people with social media - to the point where people say things online that they would never say in person. Language/grammar HAVE deteriorated. Recently, a small town I live in lost internet connection for several days (I didn't because we have satellite internet) - it affected businesses and created panic (as evidenced by frantic FB posts - some using their cell phones for internet, which for some may have data limitations). I'm even wondering if tolerance and patience is less due to the immediate response this connectivity provides. Lots of food for thought.
I see 2 year old kids scrolling reels on phones in some homes in my neighborhood. Whenever kids start crying, parents just hand them mobile phones for distraction. Now I am wondering if they will end up as phone addict.
Nietzsche said it best: Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.
Life is essentially Experience. Direct Experience. Experience is action. Action to be directly lived at all levels, and not passively watched on a screen. Each of us has always a choice, but in this day and age the best choice is the hardest one to make.
What? Are you suggesting that we are somehow NOT Ai slaves right now?
So what is it then that Spiritual People try to break free of?
The Matrix?
Is The Matrix not a ideal setup for this Ai enslavement..?
Hey Jason, if you ever want to be a speaker at a real life food forest, I'd love to set up an event alongside Jim Gale and Food Forest Abundance. I think you are an extremely powerful spiritual leader. Much love, this video is so great. I'll be sharing every video of yours.
