I will preface this by saying, I recognize that Artificial Intelligence plays a role in the evolution of humanity. I love the tools that stretch our capacity and bring a little more ease where there has been struggle. But my hope with this article is that it brings you back to Cognitive Sovereignty, as we consciously evolve together.

Let’s get deeply real for a moment, because something is shifting…

Can you feel it? There’s a strange fog drifting over the collective field right now. An energetic dilution of the sacred. An unexplainable frequency glitch.

We are becoming dangerously close to outsourcing more than just creativity and tasks… but our entire essence. As a species, we are producing more than ever, but something is… off. The signal is dull, distant and somewhat hollow. Everything sounds eerily the same… polished, correct, coherently intelligent… but lifeless.

Right now, the world seems to be obsessed with asking if AI can “do this, do that, say this, create that, reply to this, sound more like me…”

But we should also be asking… what does it cost you (and us) when it does?

Your raw brilliance is the only future-proof frequency. We need to refuse to become AI. And I refuse to let you forget what it means to be profoundly, irreducibly, impossibly human.

The neuroscience of surrender

Let’s look at this from a neuroscience perspective. Every single time you wrestle with language, when you feel the grit and the agonizing awkwardness of finding the perfect thing to say or showing up to do something new, your brain is forming new synapses.

Your prefrontal cortex – the seat of your intuition, critical thinking, and empathy literally lights up. Your hippocampus, which is connected to memory and identity starts to anchor those thoughts deep into your being. And your default mode network, the controller of your inner narrative, links it all to your perceived identity. Do you see what I’m saying? There’s brain strength in the struggle. Your friction becomes magnetic because the struggle signals the Divine.

That process is internal alchemy.

Creating helps you process trauma and emotions. Internal editing and going over and over your work until it’s painstakingly boring builds resilience in your neurons. It’s neurological regulation and coherence… which is how the conscious mind speaks to the unconscious.

So, when you skip all that to quickly generate and paste something onto the canvas of your reality without a conscious pause, without scratching your energetic claw marks all over it… you’re bypassing your own healing.

And every time you think you won because AI sharpened you or made you more productive… your neuroplasticity weakens. Your intuitive cognition dulls. Your ability to metabolize thought, to decipher and evaluate, becomes reliant on something that isn’t even you. So let’s start seeing it for what it is… cognitive erosion.

Your brain builds and grows stronger through complexity. Your very consciousness expands through the void. If you don’t stumble, you can’t integrate. And if you can’t integrate? You’re not evolving. What doesn’t evolve, degenerates and goes backwards. There is no in-between. Essentially, you’re just recycling collective data through a soul that never got to metabolize the truth of what you wanted to express.

If it wasn’t for so many failed attempts and people who wanted to (but didn’t) quit, those who had faith in continual refinement, we wouldn’t have so many incredible inventions today.

The spiritual cost… the shadow of automation

This is the bit that’s making my soul to tremble a little… many people using AI most aggressively, the ones relying on it as their CEO instead of their personal assistant, are the very ones teaching sovereignty, holistic healing and intuition.

We awakened and chose the path of consciousness to return to truth and now we’re letting AI articulate what that is for us?

How can we speak about awakening yet rely on technology to tell us what to say?

How can we teach soul remembrance whilst handing our every challenge to tools that erode the very muscle of inner knowing?

AI doesn’t think for us, it just tells us how to think.

Perhaps it’s time for a deep self-inquiry into what we’re calling sovereignty. Strengthening something that is slowly fracturing the psyche can cause an energy leak. This process is training your subconscious mind to doubt its own voice. When did we so desperately need to seek external validation before accessing our internal knowing? When did we lose trust in the connection we have with wholeness, source, God and the answers that come from surrender?

Creativity is communion with the Divine (it’s deeply feminine)

Let’s bring it back to the absolute truth of creation. Creativity is energy. Frequency. Divine intelligence in motion.

It’s deeply feminine in energetic terms – the womb of the unknown giving form to the formless. It’s chaotic, precise, soft, and full of rage. Giving birth is a messy event because real creation hurts. It stretches you beyond your known capabilities.

When you create something (anything) from your own unique frequency, your own beautifully disorganized process…that’s energy flowing through your cells, begging to be given form. It can awaken latent DNA. And whilst AI can create an echo, it simply cannot originate and it certainly can’t somatize.

Why?

Because it doesn’t know the moment you broke. It can’t feel the tremor in your heart when you find the words that almost escaped you. The vulnerability that pierces through your bones. It can’t process your grief into the gold that reshaped every fiber of your being. But you can. Because it’s yours. And it’s ancestral as well as visceral.

Carl Jung was a huge advocate for creative acts, because he understood them as sacred tools of psychological integration. He spoke of creativity as the way we engaged with the collective unconscious, bringing archetypal wisdom into conscious form, weaving it through the tapestry of the 3D.

But let’s pause for a second…
Have you ever thought of creativity as a healing modality?

When you dive into Carl Jung’s work, it’s clear he saw creativity as self-reclamation and the sacred dance of making the invisible visible.
Writing, painting, building, singing, making… anything that gives form to your inner world.

That’s how you find your way back to your innate wholeness. This is real healing. Whilst it also allows you to discover your truth and express true individuation. It’s personal, so that kind of inner transformation can’t hide in another ChatGPT prompt. Instead, it must be moved through.

You don’t need to be perfect…

Gregg Braden teaches us that you are a walking antenna, always receiving and transmitting frequencies into the Quantum field.

The field doesn’t respond to what you say. It responds to what you mean. To what you feel. To what you carry. It responds to your coherence (and not artificial manufactured coherence, because you can’t mock the Quantum)

Gregg says that the heart sends more information to the brain than the brain does to the heart… so if what you’re putting out isn’t coming from your own heart’s wisdom, your creations aren’t connected in a way that generates true ripple effects. You can’t cheat frequency. It’s not possible to manifest from someone else’s tone of voice.

Instead, you broadcast a frequency mismatch. The field knows. Your soul knows. Those in your energy will feel the disconnect. (And deep down, that is a small proverbial puncture in your nervous system reaffirming that you don’t feel worthy to be you) … even if it’s on a subtle energetic level. There’s a Quantum cost for convenience.

Our relationships and spiritual truth

Here’s something a little more confronting. There seems to be a shift in the landscape of relationships.

Across social media right now, people are literally using AI to reply to messages, to comment on their friends’ posts, replying to emails, preparing for interviews… and yes it promises the sweet taste of comfort. To never feel the angst of rejection. A higher promise of going viral but never knowing what distant crickets sound like when something doesn’t land the way you thought it would.

AI might make us sharper on the surface but we need true union and understanding with one another. Are we not losing touch with real emotional connection? Using AI to outsource relationship challenges will rob us of true interpersonal neurobiology. The mirror neurons. The chance to feel embarrassed from time to time. A healthy dose of humbling. You’ll lose the skill of presence. Of how to feel someone through words.

Is this the destiny you want to subscribe to? To never lie on the floor of your own evolution? To never pray at the altar of your metamorphosis? To never know the polarity of success and failure, joy and struggle? To feel… robotic?

If you never fumble, you’ll never feel God

We are living in a world (and times) obsessed with seeking perfectionism.

But real creativity is fractal and flawed. And it’s perfect like that.Always unfinished. It bleeds. It pulses with the ache of becoming. And sometimes it’s awkward. It’s painful. It strips you down and humbles the ego. But I’ve found that awkwardness can be the birthplace of authenticity.

If you want to live in a way you believe to be true it has to rise from somewhere real. The fingerprint of your soul. You’ll always chase healing if you’re always trying to sound like or live as someone else. And you cannot teach your nervous system you are a safe place if you mimic others.

The psyche knows when you’re not being true to yourself… because the ego loves to be glorified

Here’s the thing about energy: It doesn’t lie. The emptiness you can’t quite put your finger on? It’s a dull ache that’s created when people present as authentic, but the vibrational essence isn’t in alignment.

There’s a strange trend where people want to be seen as brilliant, without actually refining their own brilliance. What you magnetize through false frequency never lasts. You can draw people/experiences in but they won’t stay. Because they’re not aligned to you… they’re aligned to an illusion. And that’s an exhausting path to keep walking.

I don’t believe this is laziness (because sometimes outsourcing takes longer than creating) nor do I think it’s the pursuit of being superhuman level productive. But I do think it’s the desire to feed and stimulate the ego. To feel seen and heard for being intelligent, capable and magnificent without realizing it’s giving your intelligence away. And perhaps it’s shining a light on all the times we just wanted praise, acknowledgement and love yet met with a blank stare.

Imagine a world where people; can’t hold conversations without relying on AI support, don’t know what they think until a chatbot tells them, forget how to apologize sincerely, or write a love letter, or speak from the gut and lose all nuance (and goofiness?!)

Now ask yourself: Aren’t we already there?

That seems like a future of human amnesia. A sedation of consciousness.

So, what now?

This isn’t a message to delete AI but it’s a reminder to reclaim authorship on our lives, relationships and creativity. Even when it means burning down that comfort for expansion.

Here are some other ways I think we can return to cognitive sovereignty…

Have real conversations.
Let your voice stammer when you’re in a heated discussion. Feel the embrace of a potential no. The anticipation of a yes to a question that’s been on the edge of your tongue. Say I love you without knowing if you’ll receive it in return.

Think before you search.
Let it take longer. The soul doesn’t have a deadline.

Write with your own hands.
Pen to paper. A journal entry.

Finish the thought.
Sit in the miraculous discomfort of an unfolding idea.

Pause before you respond.
In a world trying to go faster, how about slowing down?

Make something from scratch.
Anything. Let what’s coming through simmer in your energetic signature for a little longer. Give yourself permission to process and feel.

I don’t feel we should be afraid of AI but we should certainly be afraid of forgetting. Forgetting how to think. How to create. How to relate. How to feel God in the moments where courage feels far away.

You are not here to sound like anyone else. You are not here to be clean and polished. You are here to be alive. To grab your imperfections with both hands and raise them as the trophy of your existence.

Humanity isn’t starved of information. But it’s hungry for perspective and there is a thirst that only your fullest expression can quench. No machine can do that for you.

So please… don’t outsource your originality.

If you feel this resonated, why not share something original and creative, whilst tagging us on social media?
