A coachee, anxious about AI taking his job, asked me, "How can I possibly upskill fast enough to stay ahead?"
I replied, "Who is it that needs to be skilled?" The coachee was silent. I then said, "Tend to the root, and the branches will bear fruit. Polish the mirror, and the reflection will be clear. Do not confuse the reflection for your true face."

AI and the Upskilling Trap: A Provocation from the Golden Flower

What if the most critical upgrade isn't for your resume, but for your consciousness❓

The tidal wave of generative AI is here. The mantra is clear: "Upskill, reskill, or be left behind." A feverish energy grips the workforce, a collective anxiety about relevance, value, and financial security. We are running on a treadmill that is accelerating against our will, desperately trying to add another certificate, another software, another "skill" to our professional arsenal.

But from the timeless vantage point of the Golden Flower, this frantic outward effort presents a profound koan. It begs the question:

Who is it that is being "skilled"❓

We are so busy fortifying the "I"—the ego, the persona, the professional identity—that we neglect the very ground from which it arises. We are polishing the reflection in the mirror while ignoring the mirror itself. This external race, for all its chaos, holds a secret key. It is pushing us to the very edge of the mind, to the point where we must ask:

Is my true value truly in what I do, or in what I am❓

The Daoist alchemy of the Golden Flower speaks of the "inversion of the senses"—the process of turning our awareness away from the external world of forms and toward the internal source of consciousness. In this context, AI becomes an unlikely ally in this ancient work. Its power to automate, simulate, and generate forces our hand. It exposes the limitations of an identity built solely on external competence.

The real "upskilling" is not an accumulation, but a subtraction❣️

It is the cultivation of the Inner Witness—the silent, immutable awareness that observes the fear of job loss, the anxiety about the future, and the relentless pressure to perform. This Witness is the true "Golden Flower" that blossoms when we cease to identify exclusively with the roles we play in the worldly drama.

This is not a call to abandon learning or to reject technology. It is an invitation to engage with it from a place of profound inner stability. When you know yourself as the consciousness behind the skills, the anxiety transforms. The need for "lifelong learning" expands into the reality of "lifelong being." Your career competitiveness then flows not from a place of lack and fear, but from a wellspring of creative authenticity that no AI can replicate.

This shift in perspective is the greatest career security possible in an unpredictable world. 

This topic, and the deeper questions it stirs, is exactly what we explore in my monthly Zoom meeting, "ASK MYSELF" It is a space to turn inward together, to practice the inversion of the senses, and to connect with the timeless secret of the Golden Flower amidst the noise of our times.
