Without "Spirituality," the key technology of the 21st century - Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - cannot be created...

I showed this in my last book, "Intuition..."

Technology can be used for spirituality purpose as in attached.

The technology can mediate our relation to Transcendence and also transform the way how we experience spirituality.

Yes. Reality is complex and is made of connections

How Spirituality and Science Can Coexist

Many a spiritual science book starts from the premise that God exists and marshals evidence to support that conclusion. “The Transcendent Brain” turns that tradition on its head. It starts from the premise that there is no God — that the material world is all there is — and strives to describe spiritual experience within that framework...

Spirituality cannot become with the road may of technology .

This is my personal opinion

Spirituality is natural and unpredictable whereby technology is surrounded with human intellectual capabilities relating to their knowledge.

In many ways, yes. Spirituality is essentially a belief that there's an invisible aspect of cosmic reality. For many religions, this involves a God who is not just an aspect of the world, but who is beyond the world, and created the world. Because the world bears an imprint of His infinite intelligence, finite intelligence has not been able to grasp the totality of cosmic functioning. Step by step, however, by observation, thoughtfulness, paying attention to deep designs of this God, it is possible to discover some of these laws of operation and how to harness them.

Christian spirituality, for instance, is sometimes even understood to encourage an active attempt to understand and harness the world because of the divine command in Genesis to "conquer the world".

If, however, we limit spirituality to acknowledgement of unseen realities and attempting to harmonize the soul/spirit with this unseen principles, it is easy to deny any relationship between technology and spirituality. This understanding would, however, will not do justice to the whole meaning of spirituality.

I think if we assign a spirit an electromagnetic wave function, or quantum wave function, or a general information perspective, then they will be relations. What I see is we all are living in a subjective reality, which is collectively controlled but objective reality is not proven and can not. Therefore if we redefine the terms, god, spirit, technology, and science, then we will see that the progress in technology is not stemming from it rejection of the religion, god , myths, but it stems from a collaboration. Such a collaboration was done by relativity in physics, where a earth or human centered unvierse created problems in world and human interections which are due to humans are linked quantum entangled to the universe and their actions were changing and resulting in supernatural or psychic abilities. Since then the collective minds decided to move the reference of origin, origin of personal refernce in space and reference in time from the human to a distant unreachable imaginary object, it was God for some, then it was a stone, it was sun by Kepler,Kopernic, then it became the big bang. So we solved the agreement in human reality by creating fake or real (as long as there is no reality or fakeness, both same because of a personal subjective experience of reality) references. If you trace the synchonicity in the world events, and if you understand the there is no reality, then there is no single direction of time, then you can live in your panpsychic universe, but you will be excommunicated and put in hospitals and prisons to change your mind and accept the collective reality which was only an agreement, not as a true reality or true nature of the universe, any perfect law is impossible in this nature due to the fact that space and time are just words, are just different in our subjective realities. Thanks to internet we can see the possibility of creating our own realities and it works.

Inspiration is the driver. Technology is the vehicle.

SPIRITUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY: A THREEFOLD PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTION

"Spirituality is a term quite difficult to define and characterize. The richness and plurality of manifestations labeled as spiritual, and more emphatically the plural and often differing metaphysical paradigms upon which they are based, make the effort of providing a fixed definition or a unified model for spirituality not only difficult but necessarily controversial.

Technology is also hard to characterize. At first sight, the popular definition in most dictionaries points to the notion of “applied science” that materializes in both artifacts, and as the conceptual tools and procedures associated with these artifacts. This perspective provides the basis for a distinction between technique and technology (Agazzi 1998). While technique would be the knowledge articulated as efficacious procedures that have proven useful in obtaining certain results, technology would be the subset of the technique that is based on science.

Conclusions

The cross-reflection between spirituality and technology—structured along the three conceptual axes of transcendence, immanence, and relationality—has shown the varied ways in which spiritual traditions could help balance the excesses that technology brings into society, and the ways in which reflection on technological development can reveal aspects of spirituality that otherwise may remain inadvertent. Reflection on the transcendent axis shows first how both spirituality and technology point to a transcendent dimension. In the case of spirituality, this is obvious, but in the case of technology, the transcendent dimension lies in the idea that beyond an instrumental perspective, technology can be seen as a way of creatively exploring the possibilities of the universe. Nonetheless, this exploration is done through a specific mode of operation that privileges action to the neglect of contemplation. Therefore, spirituality, with its uncountable resources to cultivate contemplation appears as a much-needed complement. In turn, by pointing to the notion of progress, technological development forces spiritual traditions to define their own versions of progress while more explicitly delineating what it means to be a fully developed human, and what role contemplative development plays in this.

The analysis of the immanent axis starts by acknowledging how a significant number of spiritual practices (to which I suggested applying term “somatic-based transformative spiritual practices” [SBTSP]), such as Indian tantric yoga or Chinese qigong, point to embodiment and more specifically to the mysterious and inextricable union between the physical and the lived body. In contrast, technology can be seen as a prosthetic effort that fails to reach the same quality of integration, thus leading to different kinds of dissociations that SBTSPs help to avoid and remedy. Symmetrically, technological advances will potentially bring a better understanding of SBTSPs through technoscientific analysis, which could result in an optimization of these practices.

The analysis of the relational axis highlights the contrast between a spiritually informed relationality that is oriented to care and forms of tech-based domination that seem to be on the rise. This contrast reveals that ethics must be purposefully infused into technological developments because they are not inherent to the monologic character of technology. In this regard, a spiritually based bonding intelligence, defined as the ability to be enriched and transformed positively by bonds and relationships, might bring a much-needed complement to avoid domination. In turn, the action-oriented character of technology may push spiritual traditions and collectives to become involved in the down-to-earth endeavor of promoting technologies that distribute power, promote participation, aid those in need, and help envision a better future for the planet. Moreover, the patent effects of technology on relations may increase a systemic awareness that to effectively promote care and respect, spiritual traditions cannot just foster good deeds, they have to promote structural change. All in all, these insights lead to the conclusion that the cultivation of spirituality might be essential if we are to avoid a tech-fuelled pandemic of stress, dissociation, and domination."
