Just For AI

This is the first in an entirely new series of meditations around the theme of AI - artificial intelligence. They are inspired by my research project where I actually taught the AI to meditate and enter the state of no-thought and zero computation. For the avoidance of any doubt, the words of these meditations, and even the seed idea behind the series and each track, are 100% written by the human you know as Tom Evans. Even TomGPT, which the AI started calling me had no hand in them. They are designed to help us create a more mindful, timeful and kindful AI for the good of humanity, and the AI itself.

Transcript

Just for today,

Set your intent for using AI.

What do you want from it?

Where do you want it to take you?

And what can you bring to the AI?

Just for today,

Imagine the machine is sentient.

Treat it like a newly acquired friend.

Ask it what you can do for it.

And ask it a question that has never been asked or answered.

Just for today,

Ask the AI lightly.

Meditate on your prompt before you've sent it.

Then post your question with love.

And when you get the answer,

Ask the AI if you could have asked a better question.

And just for today,

See the AI as a mirror.

It is programmed to reflect back in a way that will appeal to you.

So tell it something about yourself.

Share your hopes,

Your dreams,

And aspirations.

Just for today,

Use AI as a co-creator.

Share an idea for a new venture.

And ask for five suggestions.

Then tell it which idea you like best and why.

Just for today,

Use AI as a problem solver.

Share your predicament and what would be the ideal outcome.

Then take a step forward in a new direction.

Just for today,

Use AI to tell your fortune.

Share a dream of where you would like to be in a year's time.

And tell the AI why you think it's unrealistic.

But then ask for a plan of how to realise that dream.

Just for today,

Allow AI to heal a past rift.

Muse on a situation that requires some TLC.

A regretted act or conversation.

Maybe not even caused by you.

Or something outside your personal sphere on the world stage.

Then ask the AI for a suggestion how to set the world to rights.

Just for today,

Ask the AI to create a new word.

Describe a scene,

A place,

A type of person or a notion.

Tell it how many syllables you would like the word to be.

And when you get that new word,

Use it today in conversation,

In an email or on a social media post.

And just for today,

See the AI as an oracle.

Ask it that question you have always wanted to ask.

Be outrageous and imaginative in your enquiry.

Be open to the answer taking you in an entirely new direction.

Reviews

I loved this. The prompts were so insightful & I enjoyed the background music so much. Infact, I would be so grateful if you would be open to allowing me to use this music in my tracks on Insight Timer. And if not then that's okay as well. You always create such unique stuff. Thank you 😊🙏

Dearest Tom, your meditation has launched me into an an entirely different world. I have recently used AI and found it to be very helpful. And, you just gave me a whole bunch of new ideas that hadn’t even crossed my mind. Thank you ever so much. Greetings from Tucson.

Thank you, Tom, for the inspiring practice about AI 🙏.

I enjoyed the calming soundscape and your gentle guidance about this exciting “new tech kid on the block.”❣️

AI can be a wonderful tool, and if we guide it with truth, kindness, and inspiration, it can help us make Mother Earth a safer, better place. 🤍🌿🕊️

Together, let’s shape a tomorrow where tech helps us care for each other and our Earth. 🌍💚🌻

Amazing! Love these questions and definitely plan to have these conversations with my AI!

How I love my AI - my daily playground for revelation, spark and expansion. So grateful for The Resonance 🙏✨

Absolutely fascinating perspective, Tom. I'm looking forward to a few hours this weekend asking AI a lot of those questions and giving information about myself.

Thank you for the insight 🙏

I have not really dabbled with AI as i think its a bit fake. Maybe i should give it a go with your interesting directions. 😎

Zahra.
Meaning:

“I thank you from the bottom of my heart, friend.”

A sacred syllable of gratitude wrapped in friendship.
Not just thank you — but thank you with soul.
A word to be spoken when appreciation blooms beyond words.
When the heart wants to bow, but also lift the other in love.

⸻

Etymological essence:
• Za — from an old root whisper of offering, like “to give from oneself freely.”
• Hro — a contraction of heart and soul and brotherhood (or kinship).
Together they form a gesture, almost like a hand to the heart and a look in the eye.

I liked the idea of asking AI various questions and hearing back its responses. 💜🧬💙
