V-Theory of Transcendence for Achieving Peace in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
摘要
Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, an ancient Vedic scripture, provides a comprehensive, multi-level, powerful toolkit of principles and practices for living practically and peacefully in union with pure consciousness (Maheshwari & Pandey, 2022). Our V-TheoryV-Theory of Transcendence (Maheshwari in J Manag Spiritual Religion 18:77–91, 2021) shows this wisdom can be practically harnessed for the benefit of the individual and society. It show how the universe can be alternately experienced at two different levels: in its dynamic diversity of impulses of the ego activity at the top of the V where all action can be enhanced by AI, and its silent transcendental unity at the bottom of the V. Victory without war can be achieved by creating coherence in collective consciousness that can counter hostile tendencies by using techniques of transcendence inspired by the Yoga Sutras. This chapter includes evidence from large-scale experiments where groups of trained meditators trained in Transcendental MeditationTranscendental Meditation (TM) ™ and TM-Sidhis techniques created a Super-Radiance Effect that lowered crime rates and improved quality of life. Yoga Sutras can guide the development of ethically designed AI systems which can then be harnessed in the direction of supporting the technologies of transcendenceTranscendence.
