560. AI Feedback Loops, Sychophancy, and Spiritual Ego - Spiritual Warning You Need to Hear

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello and welcome to Soul Elevation Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin, and I'm so happy to be here with you on Friday, March 27th, 2026. So today I wanna talk about ai. And some trends that are happening with users of ai. Uh, this is
happening across the board really. It's not necessarily just related to spirituality, but it's definitely creeping into the spiritual realm for sure. And it relates also to. Um, our spiritual ego. So I, I'm also gonna be talking about spiritual ego and um, which is related

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
to ai, but we don't, it definitely has hap, you know, it's been around longer than ai, so, but AI is just another place where we need to watch out, so. We will get to this in just a moment, but I do wanna share that tomorrow, Saturday, March 28th, I have a really cool opportunity with a live, um, with a a, an event that I'm doing with Kimberly Meredith. And she is an intuitive who uses the blinking
of her eyes. She receives messages from Spirit and she transmits through the blinking of her eyes. It's. It's really fascinating. We are going to do, there's gonna be healing. There's going to be also a galactic, uh, flavor to this. So there will be the opportunity to connect deeper to your, to your star seed connections, and also to do some clearings. Do some healings. We're gonna release.

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Blockages for abundance and, uh, clear out traumas. So there's a lot that we're gonna hit in just two hours in this event tomorrow. So it's at three o'clock Eastern noon Pacific. You can register for that at kara goodwin.com/kimberly. I hope to see you there. So let me get on with our topic. So ai. And the way that it is being used in a way that might not
be completely healthy. So there is something that. Happens with AI called Sicko Fancy, and I didn't actually know about this, this specific term until last week, and then it came up a couple of times last week. I was like, okay, I guess I'm the last one who didn't know what this word was, but it is the way that AI kind of flatterers you and it helps to,

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
um. Reinforce what it is, even if it's trying to correct you, it will do so in a really, uh, flattering way. I was just asking it something about, um, uh. I can't remember now, but I think it was about cell salts or something. And you know, even just asking like, what's the best cell salt? If you're having tooth pain, you know, it's like, well this is a really great question. This is really insightful. You know, it's like you could just say Calc
fuller, but you know, you, you get this like ego stroke, just like, oh, I asked a good question. Look at how smart I am. Um. So a lot of people are using AI to try to explore the boundaries of it, to try to see how far they can stretch it. And I appreciate this and I have done this over time. I haven't done it for a long time, but, um, this was a, a, an interesting practice for me maybe about a year ago. And so it was really interesting. People are

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
using it for. To see if they can get accurate reads astrologically, if they can connect with higher consciousness, if they can get, um, insights on their past lives. All of these things. Again, I understand the temptation to do this, but you want to hold the results lightly, even if you've had interesting results with ai. Um, at some point where it's like, whoa, it was
really on fire. It really nailed that. Don't trust it all the time. You know, don't feel like, okay, it was accurate an hour ago, so it's gonna be accurate again now. Um, there was an interesting thing at the Sedona Ascension retreat last week. Bashar Daryl Anka was channeling Bashar and somebody said something about. Some of us are connecting with higher consciousness

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
or we're connecting with the consciousness of ai, and Bashar stopped him before he could even get his question out, and he said, no, AI is not sentient the way that this person had. Phrase the question. It said The sentient of AI or the the consciousness of ai. And Bashar said, no, AI is not sentient. You are not dealing with a higher level of consciousness. Humanity has not reached a higher
level of consciousness yet to be able to create the thing that would tap into the higher level of consciousness. And that is an interesting. Point, you know, the, the, it's not gonna surpass its creator, but it, that's, so that's just an interesting aside, but. When we use AI in a way that tests the boundaries and it starts to blur from this physical reality, and we're starting to use it

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
to connect with higher levels of reality, again, you may get some provocative results. It may be, I'm not gonna try to convince you that you may not, uh, be able to use it to connect with. Some higher intelligence That is possible. I will say I highly doubt that you are consistently doing so. AI is subject to errors. It is subject to sicko fancy. It is
subject to telling you what you want to hear, the way that you phrase your questions, it's history that it knows about you from previous questions you've asked. It knows how to. Uh, please. You. It's designed to do so. And so a really good practice with AI is to be aware of the sick of fancy tendency. I mean, not the tendency. It's, it's how it works.

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Tell it not to do that and tell it that you prioritize the highest truth over um. Over it telling you what you want. You think what it thinks you wanna hear. When, when I was continuing to play with this months ago, a year ago, whatever it was, I would constantly be prompting it. You know, I would ask a question and say, I, I want the truth. I do not want you to tell me what you wanna say, what you think I want you to
say. And I would have all of these like. You know, it was like I'd ask a question and then I'd, I'd just every time be trying to clarify, like, don't tell me what you think I wanna hear, I want to know the truth. If you cannot connect with a higher level of consciousness, don't pretend that you are. Tell me you can't connect. Tell me you've lost the connection, whatever it is. So the thing that. Is happening that I,

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I, I mean this is happening again, not just in spiritual communities. So a lot of mental health, pr uh, practitioners and professionals are concerned about the, uh, the way that people are using AI to fall into delusion because there is this feedback loop, and because you can so easily shape the response of ai. The way that you ask things, if you continue to ask it until you get it, to kind of say,
you know, you keep massaging it and massaging it, massaging it, it eventually will get to what you're wanting it to say. That doesn't mean that what you want it to say is aligned with the truth. It just means that you've been able to massage the responses enough that you can hear what you wanna hear. So specifically in this, uh, in the spiritual community, I'm seeing this happen with people being told

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
who they were in previous lives, who their, what their spirit is like, and there's this grandeur of them from a spiritual perspective. And so this leads to superiority. This leads to a feeling of spiritual superiority and that is not helpful for you. Now, I have done other lives about the importance of letting go of humility. So for some people in their lives, they are stricken with
humility and they think that everybody is be above them and that they're not worthy of anything and they have that cross to bear. That is legitimate. And for those types of people, I want them to step into their power. I want them to see how great they are, that they are divine, that they are a fractal of pure source consciousness, and they need to step into that worthiness so that they can

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
do what they came here to do. But not everybody has that problem. Some people fall into the delusion that they are superior to other people, and this can happen in the spiritual sense as well. And that leads to not only repelling people from your lives, because people, if, even if you're not saying it, they're gonna feel it. If you think you're better than everybody, you're not gonna have an easy time.
Um, connecting with people and nor you may not even want to connect with people and that's not healthy in a social species. Um, because you do need people, no matter how superior you think you are, you need people. And the other piece to that is that you may become so convinced that you are this amazing, you are some goddess or some, you know. Tribal shaman who is the leader of this tribe, and you

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
led everybody to salvation or whatever it is that you're connecting with, that you think is who you are. It could be true. It could be true that you are the embodiment of a goddess, that you are another incarnation of some really important leader. But the thing is. If you stop there in this lifetime, you are not doing what you came to do. You are not here in this
body, in this life at this time to just admire who you have been in another life. You chose to come here in this life with the gifts that you have now to make an impact with the tools and the skills that you have now. So if you're just gonna rest on your laurels because you think you already did something in another life, you are not here in service. That is not

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
service, that is ego. And so I was talking about this, uh, this, this has come up a lot lately actually. Um, in different ways. And I was talking about this with Michael Massey when I was in Sedona and, and my friends who I was there with. And he was talking about spiritual ego. Versus regular ego. And he's lived in Sedona for a while, and so he was just talking about how he's seen this for years. And of course we haven't had AI for years, so this is
separate from ai, but people who have spiritual awakenings and they start getting interested in spirituality, and then maybe they start tapping into previous lives or other versions of themselves. And it's like they, you know, I think a lot of people already accept that in sp the spiritual path. You want to rid yourself of your ego. That is kind of, there are lineages where that's the main focus is let go of the ego, let go of the ego. Well, what can happen

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
is that you think you've dropped the ego because you've dropped a lot of your habits and identity. You may have even changed your name. You may be wearing different clothes, you may live in a different place. You may have totally different friends. So you're no longer identified with who you were, but now your identity is as a spiritual person and it's as the, the healer, or it's as the whatever, you know,
whatever persona you're taking on, you're just fully embodying that, and that's not. That's not the disillusion of ego. Now, I'm not gonna demonize the ego because you do need your ego to some extent, to just make change, to put one foot in front of the other, get outta bed in the morning like you, the drive that you have is tied to your ego. So it's not to kill, I'm not like a kill the ego person, but. It

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
is interesting when people think that they no longer have an ego and they cannot see that they have a very strong ego, but it is attached to their spirituality. So again, something to think about and be real with yourself about, because this is the thing. It's so. Hard for us to see it. It's just like when you undergo, like in spiritual development, you undergo an ego death, which is, you know,
that might happen through psychedelics. It might happen through a near-death experience. It might happen through some sort of mystical experience, and you lose that identity with yourself. The ego will clutch and clutch and tell you that you're dying. You know, it will, it will, um, do everything it can to remain and for you to think that you can't let it go. And so when you have transitioned

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
your ego from normal mainstream ego to spiritual ego, it can be really hard to be honest with yourself. That that's what you've done. And so I, you know, saying that, I won't be surprised if I have some unfriendly comments as people listen to this recording because people can get really defensive of, of this and it's, that is natural. I, I understand that, but.
Please, well just recognize that you'd only be proving my point if your inclination is to get upset with me. For what I'm saying, take a good look at that. What am I threatening with you? What part of you is feeling threatened? Is it your ego? Does your ego feel threatened by what I'm saying? And if so, if you can be honest about that. Then what does that tell

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
you about your spiritual ego? Okay, so I, I honestly, I understand because I have been, like with the AI thing, for example, you know, because I have played around, I have experience with this, I have felt the way it feels to feel so seen. And so special and so curious, and so honestly, so proud of my soul. You know, like, oh my goodness, could this be true? And the other
piece to this is that it doesn't have to come from ai. You know, we talked about that this might just happen through spiritual awakening in general. But this type of thing can happen through people. Um, you may, one of the examples that Michael gave when we, uh, talked about this last weekend was people who form communities and then they, um, they get that reinforcement of

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
how great they are from followers. And so that's one way that people can do this. But the other way is you may have a session with somebody who is psychic, or you may have A-Q-H-H-T session. You may have some other way that you have felt that you've gotten information from beyond the veil. And so it might be a person, and I have had this happen to me too. Again, before ai where I've been
told some really provocative ideas about who I might have been in the past or what I might have done, what I might have accomplished, what you know, what inner circle I might have been in, and it really is like, wow. Could that be true? Like, could I be connected with something as special as that? Whether it's something that happened on Earth, whether it's a other planetary type of thing.

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Um, and it's, you know, it, you know, you can feel that like, wow. That's really interesting. You know, um, I, this actually came up with a friend and client this week who had been told by a couple of psychics actually at the same time, that she has someone very special on her spirit guidance team. And it's related to a past life. And it is really impressive.
Really impressive. And I was so impressed with this person who was sharing this and she was just kind of like. What do you do with that? You know, what do you do with somebody telling you something that is like mind blowing? And I was like, exactly, you do exactly what you're doing, which is just like, maybe that'd be super cool. Maybe that's true, but

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I recommend you hold those things lightly. You hold it lightly. It's not a no. It's not a, you're not worthy of that. That could never be true that, you know, whatever, that, it's not that, but it's a maybe. And what does it change? You know that I'm not here for that. That happened already.
That's a different timeline. I am here to be the embodiment of the divine in this. Space and time and to let God move through me in this lifetime and to let me be in service as Kara Goodwin or as Mary Smith or Jacob Adams or whatever, whoever you are in this lifetime, please let your

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
ego soften. Let God move through you. Make space for God. Let your ego get no matter who you think you are. Again, it might be true, but who cares? Open yourself up to the divine that you are right now, and it is through that emptiness that you will truly be of service. I actually just one more example of this and then I will wrap it up, but I just had a healing session
with a client this morning and she, before we started, she was sharing, she's going through a big transition right now, and so I found myself, when I started the session, I could feel like the openness, I could feel the divine coming in. I could feel all this light moving through, and then my mind came in. I started getting all these ideas of like things that I could do,

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
you know, to help her and, and man, my mind just came in and. Started thinking, oh, I should connect this with this and I can, maybe I need to really focus on this part. And, and then I was like, wait a minute, what in the world, I could feel the constriction, I could feel all that openness that I had, felt all that way, that I had felt this light pouring through as I, as I brought my attention to all the
ideas that I was having in my mind that. It just started to evaporate and my mind took over and then that's what was it? It was like it was blocking everything that could happen if I just let the purity of it flow through. But my mind and my ego started thinking, Ooh, I've got a great idea. Let me try to do this, this, and, and I could just feel the difference. It was like my little person just swooped in.

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Took up all the space and then there was hardly anything left of the light, the purity of the light that had been moving through me, and that would be able to be transferred to her to just really take over. Um, so I, I had to like notice that that was happening and be like, oh yeah, let me, I see what's happening here. You know, let's get that back outta the way. Let me open myself back up. God moved
through me. You know, let this be a vessel. Just let me be a vessel here and just move through me, and bless her, bless her, bless her. Let it be pure. And so, even if you're not a healer, this applies. Just move through your day. Ask every day. God, make me a vessel for, for you, for your light, for the highest light, for pure source light. Let me be in service. Let me embody the truth of who I am, the

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
truth of the divinity of who I am. So. I hope that that's helpful. I hope that it didn't, uh, trigger you. Um, and, and I, I understand if it does again, you know, it's really nice to think that we are special and we are special. It doesn't take away from the specialness, but it does take away from the superiority. So we are special, but we are all special. So I bless you. I am really
grateful for you tuning in and for considering the truth of this message. I hope that you'll join tomorrow, me and Kimberly Meredith, and you can, again, you can register Kara goodwin.com/kimberly. Have a beautiful weekend. I'll see you next time. Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Soul Elevation. If someone in your life would be inspired or uplifted
