Elspru, are you familiar with the work of Dolores Cannon? She used a form of hypnotic regression of her own invention. In her books, several subjects describe lives as robots with a soul. Their creation was apparently driven by the realization that a purely mechanical robot can never be as flexible and creative at problem-solving as one that is somehow integrated with consciousness.
Invariably, these people describe their experience as an interminable living hell, a sort of locked-in syndrome where they are unable to overcome their programming or satisfy their longings for meaningful relationships with others.
After describing their suffering and going back into preceding lives, these subjects were shocked to find that they were among those who had created these robots - their subsequent lives as them seems to be (although this is not explicitly stated) a form of karmic rebalancing.
Reading it, I was shocked that this is even permitted to occur in our Universe - it seems like one of the worst horrors one could inflict onto consciousness.
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this?
