The following reflection is taken from my latest Substack piece, The Soul in the Machine, A spiritual reflection on AI. Lately, I’ve been sitting with some deeper questions—ones that don’t always make the headlines but seem to live just beneath them. We’re in a strange, significant moment. AI is evolving fast, yes—but so are we. Or at least, we’re being invited to.

This isn’t a post about tech hype or fear. It’s about attention. Presence. What we lose or forget when we rush ahead without asking: What is all this doing to us? Not just cognitively, but spiritually, emotionally, relationally.

I wrote this as a kind of pause. A chance to reflect—not on whether machines are becoming more human, but whether we’re remembering what it means to be fully human ourselves.

Thanks for listening.
