Hi @devann
Namaste! I really like your approach to this post. The way it unfolds represents the journey of a seeker that in this case is you @devann.

I completely relate to the point

I consider knowledge is of two kinds: knowledge acquired through data and knowledge acquired intuitively without data.

and

But humans are capable of discerning things intuitively, without data.

My own experience in this regard is that by being in a state of meditation we can cut out the external noise and connect to a higher awareness and knowledge unfolds its self. That is a trans like state and can me short lived and needs a lot of practice to attain and remain in that state.

You speak of

The other prediction made was that mankind will discover that there are five different kinds of electricity. The author posits that the five senses in our body are made possible by these five different kinds of electricity. So far we have not seen any evidence of this yet but it looks like a very interesting proposition.

My interpretation of this is as follows. Human body is made of 5 elements or tatvas as is mentioned in the Sanskrit scriptures.
They are Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether or space
They are all inanimate but have latent energy when they come together. The human body is formed. Since these 5 elements come together in the formation of the human body thus they can be refereed to as 5 kinds of electricity.

Coming to the AI part

Taking to vocations involving the mind and the soul and with more time on their hands, there is a high probability that humans will also gradually and naturally gravitate towards spiritual pursuits.

This is certainly a novel take on AI and I certainly hope we humans take this route and become more human in the process.

Thanks @crypto.piotr for helping me in getting here :)

Hey @thetimetravelerz,

It is great to know another kindred spirit.

Yes, you are right about it being short lived and needing a lot of practice. But even the short lived experience of it can do wonders.

My interpretation of this is as follows. Human body is made of 5 elements or tatvas as is mentioned in the Sanskrit scriptures.
They are Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether or space
They are all inanimate but have latent energy when they come together. The human body is formed. Since these 5 elements come together in the formation of the human body thus they can be refereed to as 5 kinds of electricity.

After reading the above comment of yours, I decided to do a google search for the book (The Holy Science) that carried the prediction (the book refers to it as the 'truth', which means it is not a prediction) and below is the extract from the book:

The five sorts of electricity can be easily understood if one will direct his attention to the nerve properties, which are purely electrical in nature. Each of the five sensory nerves has its characteristic and unique function to perform. The optic nerve carries light and does not perform the functions of the auditory and other nerves; the auditory nerve in its turn carries sound only, without performing the functions of any other nerves, and so on. Thus it is clear that there are five sorts of electricity, corresponding to the five properties of cosmic electricity.

Thank you very much for contributing to this discussion. Much appreciated.
