Imagination-fantasy as a health topic: AI (artificial intelligence) versus IA (intellectus archetypus) by Marisstella Octek (SL Čižmešija)
The world is rapidly changing technologically, and we describe the changes in terms of technological revolution or progress: it changes at the instigation and persistent efforts of humans who advances and achieve civilization, calling it development and expecting the human species to adapt and accept changes as necessary and fateful.
One of the contemporary demands that the technological revolution/progress places on us is the rejection of imagination, also for the reason that artificial intelligence AI has been created, which will successfully create works of art instead of humans.
In this context, human imagination becomes redundant and should be rejected because it is a waste of time for declared idlers.
STEM experts focus on solving specific problems and can successfully solve them for the general benefit and well-being of all. Practical and rational engineers, scientists, and businessmen perceive imagination as counterproductive because their argument is firmly anchored in exactness. If a businessman is a philanthropist who donates funds to the hungry and needy in Africa, he will indeed improve not only social needs but also the feelings of countless multitudes.
Therefore, why would anyone be interested in uninfluential artists as irrational idealists, for whom the feelings of loved ones, and the feelings of the nation are often the impulse for reflection and creation? Who still believes in the purposefulness of the mission of self-effacing sensitive artists who conscientiously send an exclusive personal intimate message to the world?
If we take into account that we are part of a broader spiritual picture, that our thoughts and feelings correspond and even communicate with higher powers, then we will take into account the possibility that these higher powers need and expect our loyalty. And as long as they need us as spiritual, emotional, intuitive beings, they will grant us endurance for all life’s challenges (Jesus Christ heals and restores!) and especially health.
While the famous Beatles imagined (IMAGINE!) a better world, that world in the collective experience of their fans did not become better through, for example, proven academic procedures (in the content of human, discursive, non-intuitive reproductive human understanding Intellectus ectypus) but through a common, generally human intuitive feeling of Universal Love and unity.
Intuitive cognition has its source in a divinity that lies somewhere outside the human world: a divine and transcendental entity, or rather, a Divine Person, God has an infinite mind that creates reality through original intuition.
Intellectus archetypus (IA) is a creative, divine intuitive understanding (Verstand) because according to the philosopher Immanuel Kant, “The archetypal divine intuition is the foundation of all things. We can only feel intuition”. Because “God knows all things by knowing himself as the foundation of all possibilities: this is what is called theologia archetypa or exemplaris.” therefore we interpret “The understanding of God as intuitive” and “Unlike our understanding of Intellectus archetypus (I.A.) is not bound to sense perception but produces its objects by original intuition.” Kant attributes intuitive understanding only to the divine intellect, the Supreme Being (Urwesen). This intuitive understanding is freed from the necessity of knowledge through concepts.
Intellectual intuition allows us to go beyond our discursive thinking and reach the intellectus archetypus or universal mind, a form in which we can gain a direct, complete holistic understanding of reality itself.
“It is not we who know things through sense experience, but it is God who knows them through us” (S. Maimon).
Imagination connected to feelings and intuition has a therapeutic effect not only on creators-artists but also on consumers of art, and the interpretation of their symbiosis is directly connected to spiritual entities that observe us from their magnificent powerful heights and eternal truths.
Humanly imagining, are we allowed to imaginatively claim that specific healing energy emanates through the written imaginative human word, which AI only imitates but does not transmit (radiate) to readers as healing in nature?
Only death provides insight into the human mission because we are created from the Spirit and we return to the Spirit: filled with experiences, with death, we enter the novum: however, we enter a new dimension of spirituality after we have been mystically renewed — through the conscientious use of imagination in combination with feelings and intuition — having successfully passed the procedure of earthly initiation.
Authorship was invented in the 14th century, so for centuries it was neither interesting nor crucial to anyone. With death, we leave our Ego and the earthly meaning of authorship. While the anonymous AI now lives here alongside us, we think that the “life” of the AI is superior with more possibilities of imagination, but only with death do the fruits of conscientious dutiful human emotional-intuitive imagination enter the new old renewed dimension of Universal Love. Perhaps the eyes of our Ego perceive our human mission in this world, however, we can never know to what extent (mission!) and for how long (duration!) we are part of the (earthly and comprehensive) vision of God.
The Holy Spirit blows where it wants and how it wants and cannot be replaced by AI in selecting the talented and chosen. As long as we have common sense that adheres to the Holy Spirit who has given us numerous possibilities (even more limitations), we remain within the content of God’s plan for us. It is our grateful awakening in each new day with the faith that we are unique and irreplaceable to God: we, more God’s (author God) than our own, are grateful for the gift of life with the promise of life in Eternity.
Restart imagination emotionally and intuitively, and restart applying imagination conscientiously, through the call to the UNIVERSAL LOVE.
