You have no idea how much your words mean to me. I have consciously and subconsciously fought a lot against what’s recommended on here by the creators and I honestly don’t know why. Other people are correct to criticize me that I should probably be way further than I am in my journey and story than I am now. Especially being someone who was one of the first ten customers of Subliminal Club.

I have allowed too much time to go by with sub hopping rather than sticking with just one title , follow the recommended instructions, and go from there. I have to force myself to create different and better habits. That’d what I’m doing now and honestly it’s one of the most difficult things I have ever taken on.

I am at the point that if I can’t change a situation or control it that I will work to accept whatever it is 8n the moment and work on what I can to get myself out of whatever it is if I can or just deal with it. Too much of my life has been focused on complaining about situations and people that I could have either avoided or worked to get myself out of or away from.

This is one of the toughest things I have ever chosen to do. I am tired of having the endless existential dread over getting older. It hurts emotionally more than I can describe because so often it feels like I’m giving up or giving in. Why it feels like that I don’t honestly know. It just does. What I thought was the way to do things isn’t working so I’m finally listening to others and taking their advice and implementing it

Somehow for my own sanity more than anything else I have to do this and accept that what I’m working to do takes time. Often a long time.

I’m so incredibly envious of people that are getting insane results or are able to do things that I’m unable to do because of money issues or because of my age or current life situation. It’s the reason I can get super critical of people on the forum instead of being supportive and offering solid advice when applicable. The snide and sarcastic comments aren’t appropriate or appreciated here and I apologize for that . All I can do at this point is work on what I can do and not be a drain on others and their individual journeys.

I spent a lot of time last night reading about how to " Trust the Process " . It still doesn’t make sense to me emotionally but I do understand it intellectually

I have allowed myself to get angry to an almost disturbing level when I read about how fast others are getting results that I often make stupid comments out of nothing more than envy or jealousy . That’s not fair to the people getting results, the other people on the forum, or @SaintSovereign & @Fire .

My frustrations and adversities are my problem to work on. Not take out on others. I’m trying not to cry while I type this out but it’s not easy.

@SaintSovereign is there any confidence or self assurance scripting in Index Gate?

Of course, but you have to give it time to work. And if you’ve got blockages on those topics, it may not be easy. We all have them. The gentle forgiveness scripting in Love Bomb had a hard effect on me, but after working through that issue, I see things in a while new light.

But it wasn’t easy.

Is the cognitive enhancement limited to coding or career too or can i use it for anything?

It’s always going to be geared toward the goals of the title. If you want one to use for more of a broad-spectrum benefit, you’d be looking at:

  1. Limitless
  2. Beyond Limitless
  3. Quantum Limitless

I swear @James is a new species. He is learning code like their is no tomorrow. He has changed so much in the last 3 cycles of khan.

This gentleman is going places.

You’re not paying attention. I haven’t changed much if at all. At least it doesn’t feel like I have. Probably because of over exposing myself instead of running microloops

#588

Just my humble opinion. Not stating this as fact, or even in my role as subliminal producer.

I think he is paying attention. You have changed. Even decided to try microloops finally, which indicates a willingness to try something new even if you don’t understand it.

We often don’t see the changes in ourselves as they occur because most of us wait for something external to confirm the change and when it doesn’t happen, we get frustrated.

Thing is, most people — myself included — tend to project, and since they were never seeing the real you in the first place (only their projection), they won’t see the change as well.

That’s why we focus on resilience scripting now. Being able to recognize what’s going on inside without the need of external validation is true power.

I sometimes can’t believe how much I project. Especially when I’m frustrated or envious. It’s like the rational or logical part of my brain shuts down and I can get vicious when that happens.

Having validation from within is an eventual goal of mine. It will probably make me more self reliant mentally and emotionally. I don’t like causing anyone drama. People have enough to deal with without me adding my own fears and insecurities to it.

That’s just it. My impatience comes from the fear of never being able to have the kind of life I want no matter how hard I work or what I do.

I definitely don’t mean to project that on to anyone

Sorry if this question sounds dumb, but is this also in titles like WB?

My dear James,
I know you for roughly 6 months now.
And what I see, is, that you changed a lot in that time. When I joined SC, you were constantly sub hopping. Then you started with New Emperor and you stayed with it for some time.
Now you’re into IG for a long time. You even accepted to try microloops, despite the fact that you can’t emotionally trust the efficiency. You’re doubting that it can work. But still, you trust Saint and Fire, and all the users that get great results on microloops enough to try it anyways.
That are great results!!!

And for being still where you are now, despite being a long time SC user, I can understand your feelings. In 2021 I started a rather expensive coachig class (14k). There are quite a few people that started with me that now make 7 figures a year and I just got my first minimum wage job.
I know this feeling of envy.
But both you and me started from another position then them. All of us carry baggage around. Some more, some less.
For some, it’s just one puzzle piece missing.
For me it’s a 10.000 piece puzzle fresh out of the box. Pretty chaotic. For you it’s perhaps that the parts are scattered around the whole house.
So of course we need longer than those with the puzzle almost finished.
The thing is, you didn’t give up. There are literally thousands of people with similar situations as you that gave up. They settled with this unpleasant life. NOT YOU
And that’s what counts.

I thought Revelation Series cover this . Dont they ?

#595

@James why dont you setup a developers community or become am active participant in one ?. You could even create a blog or setup a group on linkedin.

Back in the day before the internet was open to the public. I was cold calling companies then faxing my resume across. I would do it every single day until i got my foot in the door.

Now adays its so bloody easy to apply for roles. As its all point and click. This is why i am surprised that people are finding it so hard to find their first role.

Contact the HR department, ask them to invite a developer and the head of department for a chat over teams.

Example:

James want to become a developer for Subliminal Club so he inquires about openings.

He DMs Saint

James "Hi Saint hope your well i would like to offer you my skills as a java developer possibly come onboard as an intern…do you have 10 mins over zoom ?.

Saint responds two days later

“Hi James thanks for getting in contact i cam spare 15 minutes after lunch today will send you zoom session”

James smiles he listens to the new DD and runs one loop of indexgate.

James convinces Saint to onboard him for a 3 .month intership.

@Judoka Don’t spend the money do this

Or this

Both are free

Also run Index Gate if you aren’t already.

I’m happy for you though. The tech job market is crazy right now . I have to stay off certain sub reddits because they have become nothing but doom and gloom

I believe Saint mentioned he is going to upgrade the IndexGate UPX to chatgpt do we know when this will be released.

@James this may or may not be helpful to you. But just in case here are some things that can help tilt the odds in your favor.

Hackathons

  • Check https://devpost.com, Start going to hackathons, even if you think you’re not ready. Some are virtual and others in person. Don’t discriminate. Just get involved. Do an online search for "hackathons in [your area] as well.

Software Developer/Engineering groups

Meetup Groups

  • Check Meetups in your area for “Software Engineers”, specifically look for “code review” along with “code and chill” groups. Go to one of each.

Developer Groups

Volunteer

  • Look for some local volunteer opportunities. This one is a bit tricky but keep asking and you’ll find an organization to work with

Build Projects That Solve Problems

  • When looking at projects think of your own life. Start looking for problems and thinking about possible solutions. If I remember you’re kinda into metal :slightly_smiling_face: Are there any problems you see, little things that annoy you about the local scene that can be solved using your skills? Maybe you traveled to another city and things there aren’t as organized. The bands may be all over social but with odd names and not easy for someone to find. Can you build something to help solve that specific problem? Maybe someone already came up with a solution but it sucks. Can you tweak it a little, make it a little better?

  • Do you forget or know someone who forgets important dates…like an anniversary or birthday? Yes we have Google and smart phone reminders, even so people still forget. Maybe you can build a really simple setup that texts you x days before the date and again the day of. Allow yourself to get in the habit of looking for problems and start thinking of ways you can solve them.

Focus on ways to be of service/add value first. If your focus is on adding value it shifts your whole mindset and energy.

If you’re building simple things that solve real world problems, looking for ways to add value and actively learning people will notice. Those hackathon, code and chill, code review, code and coffee groups all have engineers working at a variety of companies. And here you are hungry to learn [why else would you show up to those events], actively building things to solve problems, getting your code reviewed, being open to feedback from the code review and actively doing the thing - it goes a long way.

Would you hire a guy like that or someone with yet another Instagram clone and is just hungry for a job? This leads us to:

Startup Founder Events

  • Once your skill level increases and you have a project under your belt set up a portfolio and start checking out a few of these events. There are engineers who end up getting their first jobs this way. A technical founder has the skills however they have to keep an eye on finances and as they gain traction they need to hire. Some go the route of hiring one solid engineer and a couple of junior devs or just hire a couple of junior devs and train them up. Also, something to keep in mind those people on reddit may be targeting multiples of what your starting salary.

  • Just focus on being a value add, that comes first. How can you help a founder (non-profit, group etc) get closer to their goal using your skills?

Which brings us back to finding a job.

If you are doing the above or a combination of the above not only will you gain valuable skills, you’ll also a build your network. As your skill level and network grow opportunities are going to come up and you will find a job.

Do we have something that helps us to stop projecting and see the real… in everything and everyone?
