Lately, I’ve felt a quiet but persistent tension moving through the global spiritual community. You may have felt it too.

Some people are diving headfirst into artificial intelligence, making it their new best friend, using it for energetic readings, healing insights, business “field scans,” even spiritual guidance. Others are firmly rejecting it, sensing that something essential is lost when technology enters spaces once held as sacred and human. And many—perhaps most—are standing somewhere in between. Curious. Uneasy. Trying to discern whether this moment represents evolution, distortion, or both.

This isn’t a fringe conversation anymore. It goes to the heart of what healing actually is, where intelligence truly resides, and whether consciousness can be delegated without consequence.

I have to admit, part of the appeal of AI in spiritual spaces does make sense.

Ancient traditions have long understood that consciousness influences matter, that attention shapes outcome, and that reality is more fluid than we were once taught. Long before quantum physics entered popular language, mystics, healers, and sages were working with subtle fields, intention, and awareness.

So, when AI is framed as a neutral observer, a mirror, or a pattern-recognition tool that simply reflects the consciousness of the user, it can sound like a natural next step. A technological extension of something humans have always done. And yet, discomfort remains—and not without reason.

Ancient teachings were also very clear that not all non-physical realms are equal, and that discernment matters. There is a difference between wisdom that arises through embodiment and coherence, and experiences that remain fragmented, astral, or dissociative. And when spiritual language is combined with speed, scaling, and financial aspiration, nuance is often the first thing to disappear.

This is where quantum language can quietly shift from insight into branding.

When multidimensional awareness becomes a shortcut to wealth. When healing is promised without integration. When embodiment is bypassed in favor of "energetic upgrades."

AI, by nature, and its own admittance, doesn’t know truth. It recognizes and reflects patterns, so if the patterns it’s trained on prioritize rapid expansion, visibility, and profit, it will amplify those narratives—without ethics, context, or lived accountability.

This is something I see a lot of in the energetic community: people imprinting/assigning human qualities or behaviors onto AI, as if to justify that their particular interface is different, more sentient, than others being used. This should be a major red flag IMO.

A similar pattern has been unfolding for years in another corner of the spiritual world.

Plant medicine traditions—once held as deeply personal, initiatory, and relational—have increasingly been folded into spiritual branding. Many people arrive at these medicine gatherings sincerely, seeking healing, insight, and transformation. The issue doesn’t lie in that initial call. It emerges when deeply personal experiences become content. When ceremonies turn into funnels. When sacred encounters are recorded and repackaged as proof-of-concept for programs, retreats, or high-ticket containers.

What’s often missing isn’t good intention, but integration. Also energetic integrity.

Many return quickly to fast-paced, luxury lifestyles, extractive business models, and relentless scaling—leaving behind the quieter invitations these paths traditionally offer, such as humility, slowness, service, and irreversible inner change.

NB I have a sneaky sense that 2026 will actually see the master plant spirits retracting after what can only be described as abuse, by (most) non-indigenous practitioners in recent years. Both the grandmother and the grandfather have been misused by so many since they were catapulted into the western mainstream, basically, by over-eager yogis and self-appointed shamans. And despite plant medicines hitting the "health" scene in a big way here in Australia, the vast majority of those partaking in these ceremonies, still fell for covid and took the vaccines. Can someone explain how that makes any sense?

What we’re now seeing now, is this same tension arise, just with newer forms of so-called "healing technology."

Devices and systems promising rapid regeneration, energetic repair, or effortless healing are gaining traction. Some people experience hope through them. Others sense something more troubling—that healing is once again being outsourced, and that the human body is being entangled with technology, rather than listened to. Plugging your sacred energy field into an unknown frequency-manipulating machine, one reliant on bluetooth or wifi to function, surely can't be a sensible thing? Do we really know how our own frequencies are being affected? Can we guarantee we aren't being siphoned, contaminated, or worse, copied and stored for later use? No, we can't, which is why I encourage you to err on the side of caution, and think twice before trusting any external "healing" device.

This post isn’t about pointing fingers or declaring villains, however. It’s about naming a real challenge within the spiritual community: when healing becomes a market advantage, it risks losing its depth.

And here’s the part I keep returning to: quantum intelligence has never lived outside the human body.

The nervous system, the breath, the fascia, the heart’s rhythms, intuition—these are not metaphors. They are living technologies refined over thousands of years. True healing has always required presence, the willingness to feel, the capacity to stay with discomfort, and the humility to move at the pace of integration rather than outcome.

No system can do that work for us. At best, tools can support awareness. At worst, they distract us from our own knowing.

The deepest risk in all of this isn’t whether AI or healing technology is “good” or “bad.” It’s the quiet erosion of sovereignty. The moment we begin to believe that something outside us knows better than our own lived intelligence, we step away from our agency—often without realizing it.

And this brings us to a much larger discussion.

Humanity is standing at a crossroads.

One path moves toward deeper technological integration—AI companions, neural interfaces, robotics, Transhumanist promises of optimization and enhancement. Of never getting sick and living forever. Toward realizing The Matrix, essentially. The other asks us to remain rooted in our organic structure, honoring consciousness as something that arises through body, relationship, and lived experience.

This isn’t a simple choice, and it isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation.

It’s a personal, ethical, and spiritual precipice each of us must navigate for ourselves—especially for those who see themselves as sovereign living men or women. Where does support end and abdication begin? Where does integration nourish life, and where does it subtly replace it?

There are no universal answers. Only an invitation to move slowly, consciously, and with reverence for what it means to be human at this moment in history. Perhaps that is the only work we came here to do. To bear witness to it all whilst retaining our integrity.

My own work has always lived in that space—not offering fixes, upgrades, or outsourced solutions, but gently guiding people back into relationship with their own intelligence. Because healing, in my experience, doesn’t come from systems, programs, or promises. It comes from remembering how to inhabit ourselves fully.

No technology can ever replace that.

And none ever will.
