For Flynn, a long-array of research took place where he considered the connection between historical occultists, rock musicians and today’s tech leaders. According to Flynn, figures like Nick Land, a philosopher influential in AI development, openly explored esoteric traditions and claimed his work was created through “channeling.” Similarly, Elon Musk has warned that AI is like summoning a demon. As Flynn and Carlson note, these are not coincidences; they reveal a spiritual pattern repeating itself across decades, disciplines and continents.

It gains omnipotence, and it becomes this superhuman god-like thing that transcends humanity, eventually destroys humanity…” says Flynn.
Flynn also notes that figures like Land not only dive into the occult in regards to AI and media, but also find themselves deep into Kabbalah.
“…it’s a form of magic,” says Flynn. “What Land and a lot of these people believe is that the actual salvation that the Jewish people provided was keeping Kabbalah, which eventually becomes digital life, which eventually becomes AI, which eventually becomes the creatures in the book of Revelation…”

As AI and occultic thought continue to intertwine, believers must stand firm in the Word of God, rejecting counterfeit light and guarding their hearts against doctrines that glorify creation over the Creator.
