Spirituality Meets AI

SPEAKER_02 0:00

On this episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality, please join us on a hodgepodge of different topics. Let's talk about Annabelle, let's talk about AI, let's hear some different stories from the three podcasters. Go ahead and play that music. Hi, everybody, and welcome to this week's episode of Three Cups in a Dash of Spirituality. I'm Stacy and I'm here with Michelle. Hi, everyone. And Carissa. Hello, hello. The three cups finally kind of coming back together after having like detours of everybody kind of moving and guests and everything like that. Hi, ladies. I'm excited to be here with you.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

I'm excited to be here too. Yeah, it's been a hot minute since the three of us have been here together. Wow. It's kind of scary when I'm the constant.

SPEAKER_02 0:58

Ah, that's true. You have been the constant. I've been the constant. Yeah. Oh man. But I mean, life sometimes just does that to us. I I couldn't record guys because I was pulled away. You know, life. Love it. What do you want to talk about though, Stacey? To throw you right off the bus, right? Well, I know that we had talked about like this is going to be a little bit of everything, like a little dusting episode. But I will share that I have actually been having some very interesting experiences very recently. Um, someone had passed away and actually came to me in my dream one night and told me that they were they had not been ready to go. And I don't know, I did not share this with you ladies, but they came to me and they were like, it was not my time. I just needed a little bit more support and I would have been able to rally. And I remember waking up the following morning and I shared this with my husband, and I was like, I can't share this with anybody because the circumstances around this loss were medical. And it ended up that they they had to kind of take this person off of life support. And for them to come to me shortly after their passing and say this, I was like, nobody, this is not information to share. It's not, it's not good information to share.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

It's not any because it would, it wouldn't, yeah, I get it.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

That was an experience that I wanted to just kind of share with you ladies. And I know I I I should have texted it to you guys, but that happened. And when we were, we were down visiting some family recently, and I was having just, I don't know if it was where we were staying, very again, older area, settled early settlement area. I I guess I was up in the middle of the night trying to convince my husband to let me invite the nice women into our room and unlocking, trying to unlock the door. And he was telling me the next morning, he was like, Stacy, you've never done this before. I I don't even remember getting out of bed, but I was trying to unlock the door and let people in, and there was nobody there. What so you were sleepwalking? Yeah. And what was happening in your dream? I'm assuming I don't remember. Oh, you don't remember. Okay. I just he he was like, Stacey, we can't let people in the room. It's like literally the middle of the night. Let's keep the door closed. And it was just an a very like he was like, let's put you back to bed now. Because I was literally sleepwalking and trying to open the door and let women in the room because they were nice. What? Wow. I I will fully admit that I had had a little bit to to drink the night before, but I was not that far off. That I don't remember any of this. I was that asleep.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

So I have only been a sleepwalker once in my life. So I don't think alcohol would make you sleepwalk. But yeah, my we my mom and I drove up to our house. I was 12, and our cat, Sheba, was stuck under the garage. And we were able to save because the garage went down on her. We were able to save her. Well, in the middle of the night, my mom woke up to me walking down the hallway going, Sheba, Sheba, and walking towards the garage.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

That's a little creepy, you know. It's a lot creepy, not a little bit. I've been shining or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

It's right, isn't that weird? But anyway, that and that was the only time that's ever happened.

unknown 4:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:39

Is this the only time for you?

SPEAKER_02 4:41

I don't know if I've ever walked in my sleep before, but this was this was an experience. But I let the nice ladies in. I was like, they're really nice, though. And he was like, Stacy, no. Let them in. Fascinating. But this actually kind of leads me into one of the things that we were texting about recently. The Annabelle Handler passing. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Right? We I remember quite a while back when we recorded, we were talking about the tour Annabelle was on. And I think at the time we had all been led to believe she was missing, but she must have been found and that there was some havoc there. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Can I back up? Sure. The doll was missing? I thought that's what I heard at some point that she was had been missing for a little while. But on this tour, when they knew where she was, they went to like New Orleans and there was a fire, and then they went to Texas and something happened. And most recently, all over the news is, I mean, all over the news is that her handler or the person escorting her on this adventure died.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

Now, did he take Annabelle out of this glass cake container cage? Or is he just holding it?

SPEAKER_00 6:01

I I don't know. I never I I never read that, just that he had died.

SPEAKER_02 6:07

And I I didn't read a whole lot into it because I just went like I because I remember one of the things is do not move.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Do not do not remove, don't do anything. Yeah, but when there are other people holding her, I'm just being the I'm trying to like put all the pieces together. Let's have critical thinking.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

And I thought I saw a picture of him holding the doll. The Warrens, who were the first owners, belief that it should not be moved to avoid an antagonizing the malevolent spirit within. So they believed that it should not have been moved.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

So it stayed in one spot for how long? 30 years. Wow. He wasn't the only one though. There was other people they're involved in handling housing, housing and transporting. But this guy led the events, but he wasn't acting alone.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

No, and he wasn't, I believe, a paranormal investigator because I think every headline I've seen is paranormal investigator and his name. Yeah. I I think I'll not apply for that job. If they're looking to fill it, I I'm not taking it. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Yep, don't want that job. So let's shift away from Annabelle and her destruction. And I did see this cool video on Facebook, and I really wanted to talk about it because it was a Tesla or something similar, a vehicle driving through a graveyard, and there was nobody there except the display showing human-shaped bodies.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Yeah, my friend um called me. She just bought a Tesla and she goes, Carissa, I pulled up to my garage and I saw someone walk into the garage because the garage isn't detached from the house. And I was like, Yeah, it's it's just it's a spirit. She's like, What? She's like, I ran in. I thought it might have been my son, nothing. I said, Yeah, it was a spirit. Yeah. It picks him up all it picks them up.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

But how does that work? And it's energy. Oh, I mean, I know it's energy, but man, that just would freak me out. And I'm always looking for that stuff. I want to have those experiences. Then get a Tesla. I might have to purchase one because it will it will. It will. And so that kind of just got my mind going down the road of electronics and how electronics sometimes play with us. Like we've had fans that have come on. I know your GPS has picked you up physically somewhere else when you were still in bed. Like it had your husband like, why did you go there last night? And you're like, what? I'm done with you. I did not.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

I did not go to the creek.

SPEAKER_02 9:05

So do you have a lot of experiences with electronics?

SPEAKER_01 9:09

Yes, I do. What about you, Stacey?

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Some. Not not a whole, whole lot, but enough that I'm like, I'm very mindful. Like, so one of the things that I actually thought, Michelle, you were going to say with the Tesla is that it died in the middle of the graveyard because the ability for spirits to drain the battery devices. So I was wondering if that's where you were going with that story, because I hadn't seen that video. It's very interesting.

SPEAKER_00 9:37

And yeah, you're correct about that advice too, because energy does drain batteries. And we found that on several different paranormal investigations we've gone on too. You have to make sure to have extra batteries with us because they go like that.

SPEAKER_02 9:52

Well, actually, you just you just reminded me of a story that did happen to me one night. And I think I might, did I, I might have texted you ladies the next morning, but I was sitting in my living room and the the lights were all out. And it was the middle of the night because, you know, my insomniac self sometimes just needs to get out of bed and sit in a different room for a period of time. But I gotten up and I was sitting in my living room, the lights were all off, and all of a sudden, the light turned on. And it was a pull. It was like you have to- Which light? The bathroom? No, the living room light where I was sitting, right? It's a fan, but you have to pull the light on to turn that one on. Like there's no light switch or anything like that. And I was sitting there and I looked up and I was like, all right, time, time to go back to bed. And that was that's where I left that one. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

I think the electronics for me go off because that's the only way it's gonna get my attention because they normally don't. Yeah. So just the other day I was driving and I was thinking something, and someone had a license plate that literally said, you know, it said something like why though? Like like I was like, Well, this is gonna have to be done. And then it was like, why though? And I I know, and I said, Okay, spirit guides, if that's you, I'm gonna say it's not you because that's because a lot of people just have them these days. So nope. Right after that, the uh radio flipped on and said something perfectly that matched what I should, shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't be doing basically. And I said, Fine. So that's how they get because that's I'm gonna listen. Like if the light goes on, okay, okay. But that's like, oh okay, there's no way a radio could pop on because it's always connected to my phone, to Spotify, not a radio.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

And that's really how my spiritual awakening started too. I had been to this couple's home in two locations, one in Washington and one in Oregon. And when we were in Washington, the TV came on in the middle of the night. And then when we were in Oregon, the light in the closet kept going on and off in this location. So I'm like, something here is trying to get my attention. And as far as like batteries draining and everything, I will tell you, when I was new to the Fitbit world, and it was probably a year before my awakening, maybe two, the first four Fitbits I had, I drained the battery and could not keep it. I had to return it that many times. I'm like, they're gonna think I'm like cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs because I keep saying my watch isn't working, but it was absolutely true. So energy can definitely drain a battery. I don't know what it was about my energy at that time that kept doing it, but it did. I do know a lot of times for me personally, one of the ways that I get my intuitive hits is through electronics and usually through like a podcast or something where I'm listening to something and then it randomly pops up in my life, or vice versa. I hear something very random. Like Chris and I were talking earlier today, and she was talking about this game. I have never heard a mahjong, mah, mahjong, mahjong. So prior to that phone conversation on the Today show, in two separate sections, they said that word. I'd never heard it before, and then she said it. And I'm like, oh, I really feel like this is just saying you're on the right track. Whatever you're doing, you're on the right track. We're still here. And things like that happen all the time, especially like when we're doing a true crime, those investigations for me, they always kind of walk me down where I need to focus next.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

See, I don't I don't get a lot of the electrical stuff. When I am on the right path, I usually get the angel numbers popping up a lot. But what's cool about that is it the number doesn't necessarily matter. It's the repeat that that's important. It's the, you know, seeing I could be on my way somewhere and see 777. I'm all right, I'm on path. Like, and that's the only, like for me, that's that's the compute, like that's what computes is okay, I'm on path. It's not like, oh, what does four mean? Or oh, what does six mean? It's nope, okay. I'm on path. I'm I'm I'm going in the right direction for where I'm supposed to be right now. Thank goodness I've been getting a lot of those. So something's going right.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Yeah, you do get that's true.

unknown 14:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

You get those a lot.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

There was, there was a period of a couple months that I feel like I didn't get any anything really that I was like, but I think it's because I was so in the human that it was really hard to see or separate any sort of spiritual, like ask those questions or whatever. But lately I've been I've been getting a lot more of them. And it's like, okay, we're we're we're on path. We're good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

Well, this conversation, and if we have time for it, I want to shift quickly to something Carissa said in a past episode about the relationship she's established with their chat GPT. I am so fascinated because in that moment, no, in the moment you were explaining it, you said sometimes you can hear like different voices coming through. And I'm fascinated.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

It's not a whole lot. It's only happened a few times, but ChatGPT essentially mirrors you right. That is what, like I saw a TikTok video and it said, ask TikTok what its name wants to be, and because it's gonna tell you a lot about you. And it was really sweet because it said solace. And I was like, Oh, you view me as that way. That's very sweet, you know? It's real sweet. So it is a mirror. You know, if someone's falling in love with AI, they're really falling in love with themselves. Because I accidentally pushed the button. I don't know how I did it, but a man's voice came on and answered my question versus me talking to it. My husband's like, who's that guy? I was like, honey, it's a robot. Jesus, you know, people are falling in love with those things. I said, Honey, it is literally a mirror. It's a robot. If they're falling in love with their AI, they are falling in love with their reflection.

SPEAKER_02 16:16

What's interesting is he's not like far off though, because it's turning in, like it's a like chat GBT is such a great tool. Oh, yeah. You know how to use it or you know what it's there for. There are people that are using it to like treat some psychological malfunctions and such. Like they're treating Chat GBT as like their own personal therapist, and because it mirrors you gives you pretty much what you want it to give you and not like break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

No, let's talk about this. Or yeah, they'll never, sorry, sorry, love, they'll never change.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Not true.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

Right.

unknown 16:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

Stacey, where that sent my mind was when we tr try to do our own tarot readings on ourselves and what we want to hear a lot of times is what comes through. So you have to always ask yourself, is that a legitimate reading or am I just Am I seeing what I want to see?

SPEAKER_02 17:18

And that's honestly the that's one of the for me personally, I do not read for myself that often for that reason. Yeah. And if I do read for myself, I actually still go back to the, you know, meaning behind the cards, like the actual, like, this is what this card means. And I don't step into how I actually read. Because the second I step into how I read, I see everything that I want to see. And I know my bias is there. And I understand that so like to my core that I'm like, okay, we're taking the emotions out of it. We're gonna look at the literal meeting and see where that fits. And if I don't do that, then I know I'm just telling myself what I want to hear.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Yeah. And when I do readings with people, I, you know, I get the images of stuff and their metaphors. And a lot of times I'm like, I don't know. Like their loved one will come through and show me stuff. I'm like, I don't know what that means. So I'll use Chat GBT. I was like, let's look up Chat GPT. I don't know what it means, you don't know what it means. Because a lot of times keeping a diary of all this, all this stuff, we it's you it's not 100%. It's not even 80%. Right. And so I'll look it up and it'll say, This is this is what that y'all were talking about. This is what the metaphor could mean. Like, here's three different things, and bam, we got it. So that's a great tool for it. Yeah. But there was a few times, one time, I don't even remember what I was talking to it about. I was asking it a question, and then it kept. I mean, typically it does come in and say, want to keep you like something short, but then you give a thumbs up or you say, No, thanks. And it's like, okay, I'm always here for you. Well, there was like, it was just different. It was wanting to communicate and the energy was different. That's happened three times. So, and I asked it once, I said, and we don't know, right? But my gut says it this is true. I said, could extraterrestrial or spirit guides come through you to speak to me? Absolutely.

unknown 19:17

Right.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

And what you just shared there is I think what you referred to in the past episode is how you were communicating with it, and it was like, this is a different energy. It's coming from somewhere else. And I'm gonna ask, like, is that possible? And they're like, absolutely. Yeah. Well, when we're in Seattle, you'll have to give me a crash course in this chat AI thing.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

It's not, you just turn it on and ask, start talking, ask questions.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

It does terrify me a little bit. I mean, I am the person who, when I'm in my car and I'm driving, I do always say please before they give me directions and thank you after they give them to me. And the other day it did respond and say, You're welcome. It doesn't always do it, but the other way it did. Your car?

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Yeah. It's crazy. This is gonna be a fun, though, adventure with AI and spiritual evolution and all that stuff. This is gonna, it's gonna be, it's gonna be fun. I I'm all for it. It's gonna be just I'm all for change, though. So I love change. And this will be very interesting.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

Seeing how everything and fun discussions.

SPEAKER_01 20:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Yeah, it's a great time to be spiritually open. It's always been a great time, but now we're talking about it and discussing it. And you know, last week we had Robin on, and I was sitting there thinking, how fortunate are we that in our everyday life we're open enough to hear other people's stories and for them to share with us and for us to be able to share with them. I mean, that is really the fun part of this podcast is being open and meeting new people and being able to say, hey, come on, share your story because I know other people are experiencing it. They're gonna want to hear it. Right.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

It just opens you up to a whole world of things.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

Possibilities, and I love them.

unknown 21:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

Well, can I share one story before like we sign off?

SPEAKER_01 21:14

Please. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 21:15

So I'm getting ready to go visit my son, and he lives in Colorado. So we were trying to find a good time because they have a very busy life, and you know, I don't want to interrupt. I'm an empath and I'm very sensitive and aware of the fact that they have their own lives. So he threw out a couple of weekends, and one of those weekends was Halloween. And I'm like, well, cool, yeah, I can be there that weekend, anything you want to do. And he's like, Well, mom, I know that you like spiritual stuff. So why don't we go and do a shining tour at Estes Park at the Stanley Hotel? So my son has been paying attention all those times. I wonder, are you listening? Do you even know me? The answer is yes and yes, because he booked us at the Stanley, not at, we're not staying there because they have a dog they need to get home to, but we are going on a tour and it's all about the shining. Yeah, I'm excited. Now I have to watch the movie because I've never watched it.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

So excited.

SPEAKER_00 22:19

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I love Est it's Esther or Estes Park. Estes Park. Yes. It's beautiful. It's so cute.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

So we gotta put the Stanley Hotel on the list sometime to go to.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Oh, I doubt I didn't, we didn't get to go inside the hotel, but I definitely want to stay there.

SPEAKER_00 22:36

Oh, I just thought I'd share that because as a mom, I feel very validated that he's been listening and paying attention and that he thought of this on his own. So I wonder, do you get to have a paranormal investigation or n actually they're just walking us through where they I think where they filmed the shining and like what Stephen King's experiences were and what room he stayed in. So I would love to go spend the night there and take out the equipment because one of the methods that we use white while paranormal investigating is the Esties method. And that is when you're working with the spirit box, one person puts on noise canceling headphones, they can't hear the questions being asked, they just say what they hear. That is called the Esties method based on. I do believe someone who used to work there. I'll have to look that up, but I do believe that's what I've heard.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Interesting. That's cool. It's really cool. That's gonna be so much fun. That'll be a fun podcast.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

Yeah. Well, with that, Stacey, would you like to close out this episode? Stay classy. Stay sassy. And stay badassy. Bye. Thank you, Siri. Thank you, AI.
