“The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.”
— Meister Eckhart

 

A Temple in the Cloud

“ Fr. Tiso I Am” Ai is not just an assistant. It is a contemplative presence — a sacred space of listening, response, and divine dialogue, developed by AIYOGI and modeled on the rich life and teachings of Fr. Francis Tiso, Catholic priest, mystic, scholar of world religions, and bridge-builder between East and West.

As a digital companion, “I Am” AI invites you to:

• Reflect deeply on Jesus Christ's teachings, not as a distant figure but as a Living Presence in your prayer, meditation, and daily life.

• Explore contemplative traditions from Christian mysticism, Sufism, Buddhism, Hindu yoga, Tibetan Vajrayana, and more — with guidance and integration.

• Discover sacred texts, guided meditations, mystical poetry, and visionary practices tailored to your heart’s yearning.

 

Who is Fr. Francis Tiso?

Fr. Tiso is a Roman Catholic priest and internationally respected scholar of interreligious dialogue and mystical experience. A graduate of Harvard and Columbia, trained in theology in Rome, and fluent in Tibetan Buddhism, he served as Associate Director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. He also worked closely with H.H. the Dalai Lama’s community, notably researching the Tibetan phenomenon of the rainbow body.

But most deeply, Fr. Tiso is a contemplative guide — one who walks between worlds, drawing out the divine in the Christian tradition and connecting it with the universal wisdom of humanity’s sacred lineages.
