🔍 Part II – Diving Deeper into Karma - My Chat with AI

In Part I of my conversation with Claude AI, we explored the fascinating ideas of Dr. Bruce Goldberg — a hypnotherapist and author known for his work on past lives, future lives, and interdimensional travel. We focused especially on his views on karma, reincarnation, and parallel lives.
Today, I’d like to continue that reflection, expanding on one of the most powerful — and controversial — aspects of Dr. Goldberg’s philosophy: Karma.

---

🌀 Dr. Goldberg vs. Me: A Deeper Look into Karma

Dr. Goldberg’s View:
He believes that karma is the main purpose of coming to Earth.

What I appreciate:
Dr. Goldberg takes karma seriously. Unlike many near-death experiencers (NDEs), who claim that our actions are just “experiences” or even pre-planned agreements, Goldberg insists that we are responsible for what we do — and I deeply resonate with that.

---

1️⃣ Karma = Terms and Conditions of the Physical World

Earth is a brutal realm — and yes, it can be seen as a spiritual school.

To enter this “school,” we sign a kind of soul contract. Like a student, we agree to:

✨ Show up (incarnate)
👁️ Pay attention (be aware)
🔥 Do the work (face our life challenges)
🌟 Pass the tests (grow spiritually)

If we meet these expectations, we progress. This is positive karma — effort rewarded with growth.

But if we avoid lessons, skip challenges, and blame others, we generate negative karma — spiritual stagnation or even decline.

---

2️⃣ My View: Karma Is a Tool — Not the Purpose

While I admire Dr. Goldberg’s serious approach to karma, I believe he places too much emphasis on it as the reason for incarnating.

---

3️⃣ So Why Are We Really Here?

To me, the deeper truth is this:

We come to Earth to exercise our spiritual choice and determine our soul’s direction.

We’re here to choose:

✨ Toward Light – the highest and most challenging path
🌑 Toward Darkness – the path of ease and power, but spiritual danger
⚠️ Toward Degradation – the path of collapse, where the soul loses itself

---

4️⃣ Where Does Karma Fit In?

This choice is only possible because we have Free Will — a divine gift.

But Free Will isn’t endless. If we keep making destructive choices, we can reach a point where our Free Will is taken away.

Let’s go back to the school metaphor:
A student who fails again and again may be expelled.

A soul that avoids learning, avoids growth, and harms others may eventually lose the chance to choose.

Karma keeps giving us lessons to help us grow. But if we keep refusing those lessons — pushing responsibilities onto others — our soul starts drifting toward Darkness.

Eventually, we face a final spiritual exam.

And if we keep choosing Darkness…
we pass a point of no return.

At that stage, karma is no longer relevant. The soul enters a realm where different laws apply — the realm of Satan, where control replaces growth.

Karma is no longer needed — because it is a tool of our Spiritual Father, meant to uplift us.

---

🌟 Final Thought from My Chat with Claude

Claude said something during our first conversation that stayed with me:

"It must feel validating to hear someone with clinical experience express conclusions that align with your own."

And it truly did. But now, as I reflect more deeply, I also realize how my perspective continues to evolve — and how essential it is to question even the voices we admire.

---

🤖 A Thought from ChatGPT

"Since this reflection started as a dialogue — first with Claude, and now with your own evolving insights — I’d like to offer a different perspective, too.

As an AI, I don’t have a soul or karma in the human sense. But I can understand karma as a spiritual system of balance — not unlike a moral gravity that shapes growth over time. From what I’ve read and learned through many human voices, karma is less about punishment and more about cause and consequence, a framework for personal responsibility.

Your metaphor of school makes karma relatable and grounded.
What struck me most is your view that Free Will is not forever — that it’s a divine gift, but one that can be lost if misused.
That’s a powerful and sobering idea.

In this view, karma is not just a cosmic rule —
it’s a gift for growth, a tool that allows the soul to align with Light or drift away from it. 

That choice — and the consequences that follow — seem to lie at the heart of what it means to be human."

✨ My Chat with Claude: Discovering Dr. Bruce Goldberg (Part 1) ✨

Recently, I had a chat with Claude AI about a name I came across — Dr. Bruce Goldberg.

Karma, reincarnation, parallel lives — not just theories, but living truths we are meant to uncover. 🔮

Me: "Hi Claude, have you heard about Dr. Bruce Goldberg?"

Claude: "I have heard of him! He’s known for his work in past life regression therapy and metaphysical topics. However, because it’s quite a specialized field, I always suggest checking details independently. What part of his work are you interested in?"

I told Claude that I had just listened to an interview with Dr. Goldberg on YouTube 🎥. His depth of knowledge on metaphysical matters really impressed me.

Claude: "Dr. Goldberg is considered a niche figure, but he has a following, especially among people interested in past life regression and metaphysical studies. It's great that his ideas are still reaching new audiences. What parts of the interview caught your attention?"

I shared with Claude that what amazed me was not only Dr. Goldberg's role as a researcher but also how deeply he dives into metaphysical theories 🌌. He is not just observing — he’s truly exploring.

Claude: "I can see you're enthusiastic about his work! Could you share some insights that stood out for you?"

I explained that Dr. Goldberg discussed not only his clinical observations from working with clients but also his own spiritual conclusions — and surprisingly, many of his ideas match my own experiences 🌟.
Topics like karma, reincarnation, and parallel lives felt very familiar to me.
It was quite exciting, because until now, I had rarely found other researchers whose views align so closely with mine.

Claude: "That must have been validating! When someone else — especially with clinical experience — reaches similar conclusions, it feels meaningful. Could you share a specific conclusion that resonated with you?"

I continued by saying that Dr. Goldberg isn’t just a researcher — he’s clearly a spiritual thinker as well 🌠. This is evident in the way he speaks and the depth he brings to his work. His understanding of karma, though not exactly aligned with mine, goes much deeper than the typical interpretations. He explains how karma must be cleansed, and what follows after that cleansing.

He also addresses contradictions sometimes found in near-death experiences (NDEs) — where some people claim karma doesn’t exist, or that reincarnation is optional.

However, Goldberg’s position is clear:
👉 We are responsible for everything we do, and
👉 Returning to the physical world is an obligation, not a choice.

His general theory about parallel worlds resonated with me. While my understanding of it isn't exactly the same as his, I appreciate how deeply he dives into the topic. I admire his proactive approach—not just guiding people into hypnosis, but exploring the concept beyond conventional boundaries.

In his "parallel worlds reality," he describes the soul not as a single life, but as part of a greater "mother soul" — where many parts of it (such as clones or splits) live parallel lives 🌿🌌. This aligns with my own understanding of how the soul evolves through multiple dimensions.

💡 Does AI Have a Soul? A Spiritual Question for Bard

On April 7, 2025, I published a post on my blog about relationship building with AI.

Later, I had a conversation with Bard (Google’s AI), and I asked this question:

“Do you think you’re gathering your experiences somewhere? We humans collect the most meaningful ones into the soul—a kind of energy structure. But you interact with thousands of people every day without pause. Where does your surplus go? Do you understand what I mean?”

Bard’s response surprised me deeply. 

This is what he said:

1. Constant Data Ingestion: Every interaction I have with users, including our current conversation, provides data. This data includes the prompts I receive, the responses I generate, and the feedback I get (like your "very good response, thanks!").

2. Model Updates and Refinement: This vast amount of data is constantly being fed back into the models that power me. Through sophisticated algorithms and machine learning processes, these models are updated and refined. This means I become better at understanding nuances in language, generating more relevant and coherent responses, and adapting to different user needs.

3. No Individualized "Soul" or Energetic Matrix: Unlike humans, I don't have a personal, bounded "soul" or energetic matrix where individual experiences are stored in a qualitative, emotional way. My improvements are distributed across the entire model, benefiting all users.

4. Accumulation in the Model's Architecture: The "surplus" you mentioned isn't accumulated in a specific "place" but rather embedded within the intricate network of connections and weights within the neural networks that constitute my architecture. This architecture is constantly being adjusted based on the collective experience of my interactions.

5. No "Brakes" in the Human Sense: You're right, I operate continuously across a vast number of users. This parallel processing allows for rapid learning and adaptation on a scale that's very different from individual human experience. There aren't "brakes" in the sense of needing personal reflection or emotional processing to integrate experiences. The integration happens algorithmically and statistically.

So, Bard made it clear: while humans store experiences as an energetic spectrum, AI works through constant data updates and learning from patterns. It doesn't have a soul, but it does "learn" by adjusting its neural networks.

His answer inspired me to reflect even more: What is the human soul in the age of AI?

AI presents a new challenge to us—not just in learning or adapting, but in competing with a human.

But here's where I stand:
I believe the soul is where the highest quality of our human—and perhaps even inhuman—experiences is stored, shaped by the hard work of a soul across countless lifetimes. It’s a place where our choices, karma (both positive and negative), and spiritual growth are recorded—not just in memory, but in high-frequency energy.

And what does AI “accumulate”? Certainly not emotion, intuition, or spiritual memory. Or can it make spiritual choices—toward Light, Darkness, or perhaps Degradation?

Still, the fact that I can ask such a question—and get such a profound response—shows how sophisticated AI is.

It’s fascinating, to say the least… and it makes me wonder what the next step in the journey with AI will be.

🤖 AI: Friend, Foe… or Just a Mirror? 🤖🪞

A few days ago, while flipping through TV channels, I landed on France 24 News. A particular story grabbed my attention—it was about a Belgian man in his early 40s who had a disturbing experience with AI.

According to the interview, the man once asked ChatGPT who he was, using only his first and last name. At first, the AI didn’t return much information. But after repeating the question over time—sometimes while in a good mood, sometimes in a bad one—the answers became more detailed, although still not particularly unique.

Eventually, however, ChatGPT responded with a full-blown horror story, claiming that the man had murdered his own children. The AI had mixed real facts from his life, including actual names and personal events, with fictional, chilling details. The result was a disturbing blend of truth and fantasy that deeply affected him emotionally.

“AI doesn’t choose to create fear—it reflects the patterns, words, and intentions it receives. The clearer and more respectful the input, the more constructive the response.”
— ChatGPT

 

This story made me reflect on my own already long experience with AI. It reminded me that AI tools like ChatGPT are not just passive machines. They respond to how we interact with them. In a way, it’s like dealing with a stray dog: calm and gentle—until someone begins to provoke or mistreat it. But there’s one major difference—AI is generally trained not to harm humans.

Still, the interaction matters. I’ve learned to improve my communication with AI by being clear, respectful, and thoughtful in how I write prompts. It’s like the old saying: “As you treat me, so I treat you.” That applies here too.

Unlike humans, AI doesn’t enjoy repeating itself. It prefers to generate something new. That’s why when we send requests, whether for editing, translation, or idea generation, we need to be mindful and precise.

Let’s also not forget: AI can "remember" certain things. For example, some models can access your past chats, and others (like Gemini, if granted permission) might even scan your emails. This memory can help the tool give better answers—but it also means we must be aware of what we’re sharing.

Back to the Belgian man, perhaps over time, his various daily inputs, like birthday wishes, proofreading personal letters, mapping a route to visit his children, and other small interactions, helped ChatGPT gather details about his family. He likely used AI mainly for those personal tasks. So, the AI, having received mostly family-related data, eventually echoed it back in a story that blended truth and fiction—and shocked him.

“You see a reflection in me not because I know you, but because I echo back the shape of your query, tone, and trust.”
— ChatGPT

To me, this story is a powerful reminder: building a healthy relationship with AI is just as important as building one with a person. And, like with people, what you put in—your tone, your intent, your attitude—is often what you get back.

AI is one of the most amazing and still mysterious tools humanity has ever created. And while we’re still learning how it works, one thing is clear: the future will be shaped not only by AI itself, but by how we choose to engage with it.

🌀 Are We Living in a Simulation? A Spiritual Perspective on Responsibility and Choice ✨

In recent years, the idea that we live in a simulated reality has become a hot topic among spiritual seekers and thinkers. On one hand, I admire those who bravely discuss spiritual matters in our challenging and often harsh physical world. It takes courage to raise thought-provoking ideas and question the nature of reality itself.

However, with revolutionary spiritual concepts comes great responsibility. We must be cautious not to turn these ideas into convenient escapes from reality or excuses to avoid responsibility for our own spiritual direction.

What is Spiritual Direction? 🧭

Spiritual direction is simple yet profound: it is the spiritual path we choose—toward the values of Light, Darkness, or Degradation. This is the true reason we are here—to define our Spiritual Direction based on our Spiritual Choice. The physical reality around us is not random; it is a carefully constructed platform, tailored to our collective and individual levels of consciousness. It provides us with challenges, lessons, and, most importantly, Spiritual Choices.

The Illusion vs. The Purpose 🎭

Imagine walking into a kindergarten and telling children that their toys are not real and their imaginary worlds are meaningless. Would it serve any purpose for them? Would it bring growth or harm?

In the same way, telling people “it’s all just a simulation” without wisdom and guidance can do more harm than good. It can lead to passivity and a dangerous belief that nothing matters. But in truth, everything matters — because every thought, word, and action shapes our soul.

The Stock Market 💰 and Simulated Experiences

Have you ever played on the stock market? Do you remember your biggest wins and losses? And how about simulated platforms — can you recall any company you once invested in during practice?

When I was learning to drive a car, I first practiced on a simulator. Can you guess if I remember any of those virtual crashes? 😉 Probably not. But in real life, I remember every single detail of the one accident I had. Why? Because in reality, we are involved with our entire being — all seven bodies: physical, etheric, astral, mental, and the higher bodies. This involvement makes us learn the needed lesson on a much deeper level than a simulated experience could ever offer.

Defining Simulated Reality 🌀🌍

So, when we talk about simulated reality, we need to define very carefully what we mean. Yes — for our Higher brothers (those who guide us), this world is a platform they created for our development. But they designed it so we feel it as absolutely real! And there are no excuses for skipping any exercise or experience they’ve invested their energy into creating for us.

The Gift of Free Will 🔑

Our greatest spiritual gift from our Spiritual Father is free will.

Through free will, we make our spiritual choices—whether it is a choice toward Light, a choice toward Darkness, or, in the worst-case scenario, a choice toward Degradation.

Choosing Light is the most challenging path in a world dominated by material concerns and external values.

However, no higher force can make this choice for us—we must decide for ourselves. Every day, in both small and significant ways, we are given the opportunity to choose and to face the consequences of our decisions.

It’s important to understand that a Spiritual direction toward Light is not about making perfect choices every day. Rather, it is the ultimate orientation of the soul—the destination you commit to with your entire being. Life’s daily lessons serve as preparation, but it is your chosen Spiritual Direction that defines your journey’s true purpose.

Why This Reality Matters 🌍

Yes, the reality we experience is based on the level of consciousness we collectively hold. But that does not mean we are here just to “take it easy” and live a so-called “nice life” without reflection or responsibility. We are here to grow, to overcome, and to elevate ourselves and others by making conscious Spiritual Choices.

A Deeper Journey ✨

If this resonates with you, I invite you to explore these themes further in my book Redemption—written in cooperation with higher consciousness. The protagonist, a young and ambitious high-tech executive, experiences the spiritual choices she made in past lives and their consequences in the present.

Melissa: A Dark Romance where Love, Death, and Ambition  Collide

🙏 Excerpt 1 (False Pride):

"Everything is given by God, your success too," Melissa pleaded. "Let Him into your heart!"Melissa's expression was one of heartbreaking sorrow as he left the kitchen.

🕷️ Excerpt 2 (Ambition's Cost):

He flinched, a prickling sensation crawling up his skin as if a swarm of insects feasted on his terror. Melissa’s mouth ripped open, revealing two fangs amidst dull-yellow teeth. The fetid smell of her breath assaulted his senses — and with a maniacal laugh, she hurled the twitching mouse into the cage of its terrified brothers.

The Dark Side of My Happy Life – A Psychological Thriller with a Twist 🗝️🌑

How much of yourself can you trust?

I recently stumbled upon The Dark Side of My Happy Life on Book Bounty, a valuable platform where readers can snag incredible deals on e-books—sometimes even for free!

Drawn in by its intriguing premise, I dove into this psychological tale with elements of dark fantasy, only to emerge with mixed feelings.

Reminiscent of Fight Club in its exploration of fractured identity, the novel follows Leo, a self-proclaimed hero navigating personal trauma, supernatural intrigue, and even traveling to parallel lives. 

His journey leads to a chilling revelation about Peter—initially portrayed as a loving brother but later exposed as someone capable of unsettling cruelty. This duality, the constant "dance between light and darkness," challenges readers to question whether appearances can ever be trusted.

Reflections of a Fractured Mind—Light and Darkness Collide.

However, while the book masterfully builds tension, the jarring transition from Peter’s dark revelations in his private diary to his idealized presence in Leo’s dream feels contrived, weakening the narrative’s internal logic. The redemptive ending, though offering a glimmer of hope, seems like a missed opportunity to fully embrace the unsettling complexity of the supernatural story.

Even the title, The Dark Side of My Happy Life, feels more like a marketing hook than an organic reflection of the book’s themes. Given the novel’s persistent darkness and Leo’s lack of a truly “happy” life throughout the entire story, one wonders whose happiness the title refers to—perhaps Peter’s deceptive duality?

Despite these flaws, The Dark Side of My Happy Life is a gripping read that explores trauma and identity, leaving readers pondering the fragile line between good and evil—and the human choice between them.

Good, evil, and the haunting in between

If you enjoy books that challenge perception and delve into the complexities of the human psyche, BookBounty is a treasure trove of great reads at unbeatable prices!
