Once upon a time, in a small, vibrant village surrounded by lush forests and flowing rivers, there lived a kindhearted blacksmith named Thomas.

Thomas was known far and wide for his masterful creations, from the sharpest swords to the most intricate ironwork.

People from all corners of the land would travel to the village just to witness his craft and perhaps take a piece of his artistry home with them.

One sunny day, as Thomas was working diligently at his forge, a mysterious traveler appeared at his door. The man was elderly, with a long silver beard and a twinkle in his eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe.

He introduced himself as Elric, a wise and powerful sorcerer who had been wandering the earth for centuries, learning and sharing the ancient knowledge of transformation and healing.

Thomas, intrigued by the man’s tales, invited Elric to stay in his humble abode for a while.

As the days turned into weeks, the two became great friends, sharing stories, laughter, and wisdom late into the night.

One evening, Elric shared a captivating tale about a magical grove deep within the heart of the forest. This enchanted place was said to contain a mesmerizing pond with the most crystal-clear water anyone had ever seen.

Legend had it that the water from this pond had the power to cleanse the mind and nourish the soul, allowing those who drank from it to discover their true potential and unlock their hidden strengths.

Thomas, fascinated by the story, decided to embark on a journey to find this magical grove. Elric, having journeyed there before, offered to guide him.

The next morning, with the sun gently warming their faces, they set off on their adventure.

They walked for hours through the enchanting forest, the sunlight filtering through the canopy, casting shadows that danced along the forest floor.

As they ventured deeper into the woods, Thomas began to notice the subtle changes around him. He could feel the cool breeze on his skin, hear the rustling of leaves, and smell the earthy scent of the forest floor.

He felt connected to the world around him, becoming more in tune with the gentle rhythm of nature.

He also noticed his own breathing, deep and steady, as he walked along the winding path.

After several days of walking, they finally arrived at the magical grove.

Thomas stood in awe at the sight of the crystal-clear pond, its water shimmering in the dappled sunlight. He knelt by the water’s edge, cupped his hands, and took a long, slow sip.

As the cool water filled his body, Thomas felt an incredible sense of clarity and tranquility wash over him. He began to see himself in a new light, understanding the power he held within.

He realized that his own strength and determination were the keys to unlocking his potential, and that he had the ability to transform not only his craft, but his life as well.

In that moment, a profound sense of purpose and determination filled Thomas’s heart.

He and Elric spent several days in the magical grove, immersing themselves in the wonders of nature and the power of the enchanted pond.

As they eventually made their way back to the village, Thomas couldn’t help but notice how much lighter and more energized he felt.

Over time, Thomas’s newfound strength and determination manifested in every aspect of his life.

He began to forge not only the most beautiful creations but also a strong, healthy body and a vibrant, nourished spirit.

His days were filled with purpose, and he found joy in the simplest of pleasures.

The once humble blacksmith had been transformed into a beacon of inspiration for all those who crossed his path.

And so, the legend of the magical grove and the enchanted pond continued to be shared.

Someone posted this question on Facebook –

“Dr Joe offers so many programs, all being billed as
THE one, how do I know which one is REALLY the one,
or is it all just a scam?”

I can imagine it gets confusing.

After all, when I offer everything from courses
on The Law of Attraction to courses on The Fourth
Dimension Process or The Remembering Process or
Wealth Trigger, or anything else, how do you know
what’s right for you – if any?

The truth is, it depends on where you are in
your own spiritual growth.

I wrote a book and created a program years ago —
yes, another one – called “The Awakening Course.”

The Awakening Course explains four stages of consciousness.

Depending on where you are on the map of awakening,
some courses will be more relevant to you than others.

For example, I wouldn’t give my books on ho’oponopono
to someone who just watched the movie The Secret and
just learned about The Law of Attraction.

The Secret is from stage two of awakening.

Ho’oponopono is from stage three.

Ho’oponopono, and my books ‘Zero Limits’ and
‘AT Zero,” would be confusing to someone still
in stage two of awakening (and more so if they
were still in stage one of awakening).

Look at it this way –

If you had a child in first grade in school,
you probably wouldn’t teach him or her calculus.

There’s nothing wrong with calculus.

It’s not a scam.

But it’s not relevant, useful or understandable
to a first grader.

By the same token, if you were in college and you
studied math, you wouldn’t say it was a scam if
the university also asked you to study algebra.

You would simply think algebra was the next course.

It’s the same with my courses.

I design them and create them and promote them to
help you – but which one is right for you depends
on you and where you are in your life.

If you’re in stage one, you’ll call it all a scam.

If you’re in stage two, you’ll see value but may not
yet understand the advanced courses from stage three
or stage four.

All the courses are useful – but it depends on your
current consciousness just HOW useful they are.

If you want to understand this more, please consider

As you know – if you’ve been following this blog – I’ve been testing ChatGPT. I’m not overly impressed yet but it did help me create a cool e-book that I put on Amazon.

Basically I had the AI program write a dialogue between Seneca and Epicurus, two philosophers who never met in real life, in response to my sincere questions.

I thought the results were impressive. They were surprising, in-depth, useful, and seemed authentic.

You can find the e-book on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Pursuit-Tranquility-Secret-Dialogues-Epicurus-ebook/dp/B0C41253F8/

Enjoy.

PS – I wrote this blog post, not AI.

In case you missed this…

It’s at Amazon.

Thoughtline was an early “ChatGPT” AI program back in the 1990s.

It was based on the DOS system of the time and came on a disk.

I loved it.

I wrote about it in my book, Hypnotic Writing, because it was the first product I sold as a copywriter and direct marketer that actually made money for me.

I used it to help me think through articles, book chapters and even outlines for speaking gigs.

It was fun, stimulating, practical, and surreal.

It often felt almost human, like a real person was behind the system.

Of course, it also often felt clumsy, limited, and somewhat predictable.

But that was in the last century.

What about today?

I wanted to know how the current AI (Artificial Intelligence) programs are working to help us in 2023.

I wrote about ChatGPT last month.

I wasn’t impressed.

But I tested ChatGPT again.

I asked for a book recommendation.

I love reading about publicity stunts and outrageous publicists, especially those who came out of old Hollywood.

I have a collection of books by and about these flamboyant people, and of course I wrote a book on one of them (P.T. Barnum), but I wondered if there was something I might have missed.

So I asked ChatGPT for suggestions.

ChatGPT (3.5) surprised me.

It gave me several titles including, “Flack: True Tales from the Hollywood Trenches” by Dylan Landis.

I never heard of it.

I got excited.

I wanted to read it.

I looked on Amazon.

Nothing.

I looked on eBay.

Nothing.

I searched my favorite rare book sites.

Nothing.

I prompted for more info.

ChatGPT stood its ground: “The book was published in 2018.” 

I took that added information and dug deeper.

Still nothing.

I’m a book collector.

I can find rare books.

Why couldn’t I find this one?

I prompted ChatGPT yet again.

It apologized.

“I apologize for the confusion earlier. Upon double checking, I realized that I made an error in my previous response.”

The book doesn’t exist.

It doesn’t exist!?

Why would the system offer a book that doesn’t exist?

Use ChatGPT for fun but beware of using it for facts.

I posted an abbreviated version of this blog on my FB profile. One person said they were using ChatGPT to research legal cases and discovered many of the cases weren’t real.

Enjoy ChatGPT but don’t trust it.

For the record, when the fourth version of ChatGPT showed up last month, I tested it, too.

I was told it was far more accurate.

I was told to be clear in my prompts so the AI system could be clear in its answers.

I Tested 4.0

I asked for a few nonfiction books about famous songs and how they were written, in particular the classic song, “Smile.”

I knew Charlie Chaplin wrote the melody for a film of his called Modern Times. Decades later the lyrics were added by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons.

The result was the classic song everyone knows and the legends sing. (Even I recorded it on one of my singer-songwriter albums.)

But I wanted to know more.

Was there a history to the song?

Was there a book about it?

So I asked the wizard for a suggestion.

ChatGPT4 replied –

“Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin’s Lost Classic” by David Gritten.

I went bananas.

THAT’S the book I wanted to read!

It sounded perfect.

So I went on my book search and – you guessed it – it doesn’t exist.

ChaptGPT4 made it up.

When I pushed back, the system again said –

“I apologize for the confusion. It appears there isn’t a book titled that.”

SIGH.

Again, don’t trust ChaptGPT, even the latest version is prone to writing fiction.

And since it seems like it wants to write creative material, I thought I would test it on writing a song.

So I went to ChatGPT-4 and prompted with this:

What do you think?

Is it good?

Well, it’s a song.

It’s not a great song.

It needs tweaked and polished.

But it’s actually a workable song, or at least the beginning of one.

So ChaptGPT wins points.

But.

Don’t turn off your brain.

Don’t surrender your awareness and discernment.

Don’t drop your common sense.

The system is probably great for brainstorming projects, but if you allow it to do your thinking, creating and writing, you may find yourself with passive writing, mediocre products, inaccurate info, and potentially in court.

Have fun with it.

After all, not having a book about the song Smile means I could potentially write one.

And the beginning of a song about our dog Cabi gives me something to work with.

So I can thank the system for those ideas.

But let’s test the system one more time.

Some people claim ChatGPT can write sales letters, ads, and other marketing materials.

Well, can it?

I again went to ChatGPT-4 and made a clear request:

What do you think?

Is that a good sales letter?

Are you sure?

One of the problems with using ChatGPT is knowing whether what it writes for you is actually any good or not.

How would you know if you don’t have the experience to recognize excellence or mediocrity?

Again, what do you think of the sales letter?

Here’s what I think:

It’s a very good letter.

It has all the key elements of a persuasive letter.

But it’s not a great letter.

It has lies, half truths, and misleading content.

There aren’t any step by step guidelines in the book.

Those testimonials in the letter are all fictional.

Like the song for Cabi, the letter is a good start. You can take it and work with it. It might save you time and trouble by giving you material to review rather than a blank page to stare at.

But don’t give it your mind.

Let’s do one more test.

I created a mental time travel program last year that helps people travel to the past to sit at the feet of some legend of long ago.

They can then ask questions, gain insights, and more.

I wondered what Seneca and Epicurus – representing two rival schools of thought – would discuss if they ever met.

Being a fictional scene, and AI seems to shine writing fiction, I thought this might yield interesting results.

So I went to ChatGPT-4 and prompted:

Well, what do you think?

I’ve studied both Seneca and Epicurus.

I’ve collected and read their ancient writings.

I find the fictional dialogue above illuminating and accurate.

But since I’m not an expert on Stoicism or Epicurism, I can’t say if the dialogue is 100% accurate or not.

Still, it’s a good beginning to a possible book, play, or movie.

If I wanted to, I could develop the dialogue (with AI’s help and my discernment) into a product.

With that in mind, I give ChaptGPT more points.

It impressed me and gave me something I didn’t have: a good start to my idea.

I’d be wary of just taking what it writes and running with it. It could be considered plagirism; after all, the program is pulling from existing content and allegedly creating new content from it.

But is it?

Turns out plagiarism is a potential issue with anything ChaptGPT “creates.”

There’s a program online you can use to check content.

You can check it out here.

Bottom line for me:

Use ChaptGPT for fun, as a kick starting device, for first drafts, but do not turn over your ability to reason, rewrite, or reject what it gives to you.

You’re smarter than it.

Right?
