Solomon´s Journey - Being Wise and Limitless

[Solomon]

Yesterday, I taught a course on Values, Emotions, and Perception. It always surprises me how few people take the time to reflect on who they are and what they truly want and need in life. The questions I ask them are challenging, and they struggle to come up with answers. One thing I dislike about these lessons is that I can’t delve deeply into individual students’ thoughts. I miss the depth of coaching and want to practice that again, so I can ask thought-provoking questions and encourage deep reflection, rather than relying on a group of 15 people to come up with answers on their own.

I felt like something was missing yesterday. I’m not sure if it was due to lack of sleep or other factors, but I wasn’t as inspired and motivated to teach as I usually am. Since using Emperor, I have experienced multiple nightmares and restless nights, which has had an impact on me. While I appreciate the self-confidence Emperor gives me, I think it sometimes makes me too self-centered instead of focused on others. On the other hand, my natural extroverted nature can make me overly focused on others. That’s something that Emperor has been tackeling so to say.

Part of me feels like I should wait a bit before making any changes regarding the subs. When I got home yesterday, I felt a sense of sadness, like something within me needed healing. I unexpectedly teared up a bit while sitting on the train, and I just let myself feel it. It took me by surprise, but it was necessary.

[Solomon]

Last couple of days I was thinking that I was maybe a bit to strict with my sleep schedule and that this is hindering my social connections. Especially here in the NL people meet after 7/8PM, something I just don´t like. Now this morning I did something I never do and opened up my youtube. This one was recommended:

STOP Doing THIS! It’s Killing Your Sleep! | The Fitness Scientist

Summeray; being awak after 10PM is just linked to insane amount of health problems Evening is for winding down, not doing activities.

I had to think about this qoute:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

Need to keep that in mind when it comes to changes and how I want to live my life.

[Solomon]

Holy moly the feeling of sadness is insane right now.

I’ll do a early wash-out.

[Jouissance]

Good share, thanks!

God’s Timing.

I am currently in a phase of my life where I feel the need to wait and be patient. This is challenging for me because I have a strong desire to create and progress in my life, especially with a friend of mine whom I want to base my course on, aimed at helping people improve their quality of life. It’s not that God is advising against it, but rather suggesting that I wait before taking action. I also want to take the time to learn and figure out exactly what I want to achieve with it. It feels like the right path has not yet been revealed, and I believe it will become clear before making any decisions. That’s why I plan to take some time off in Egypt to simply sit and relax, allowing things to come to me naturally instead of trying to force my own way.

For example, I may realize that working with a large group is not the best approach for me. Making a significant impact in the course and truly helping people may require me to have one-on-one time with my clients. I have noticed this with my students as well; I am able to help them much more effectively when working with just two students rather than a group of 15. Although I used to enjoy that approach, as I grow older and wiser, I see that making a difference calls for a different kind of approach.

It serves as a reminder that God’s timing is always better than our own. He knows exactly what is best for us and what is not.

In a plane to Egypt right now, really excited about it!

Feeling much better on this wash-out, like everything is flowing out of me. I feel more like my true self as well.

I’ll definitely take a break from using archetypes for a while. It always seems to change me into a part of myself instead of my whole personality. Using subs that focus on my authentic self without honing in on one specific area will be better for my personal growth. I get the same feeling with wealth subs or changing my reality, there’s something in my mind that resists it. I don’t feel the urge to change my reality; I’d rather leave that in God’s hands and just use subs to change myself internally, like a QL or maybe a RM.

But first, a 2-week cleanse and enjoying the weather, diving, and life in Egypt

[Solomon]

My first day in Egypt has been quite interesting so far. The wifi here is extremely bad, and I had a tough time trying to set up unlimited data for my phone. After a lot of hassle, I finally found a solution, but it doesn’t allow me to use any hotspots. It will be interesting to see how I manage with just 10mps wifi for the next few days, and watching NFL games on my phone should be quite an experience!

As soon as I arrived, they thoroughly checked my luggage. I had about 6-7 bottles of supplements, which made them suspect me of being a drug dealer After a couple of minuts they figured out there was no harm, but I was already thinking this is going to be a new experience.

Oh, and I can’t forget the surprise I found when I returned from the beach - the cleaner had made a funny arrangement with my bed!

This vacation is so random and it just started.

[Fire]

Bed Monster ZP incoming.

[Solomon]

I’m looking forward to seeing the list of objectives for that one, haha

[Solomon]

Something fascinating is happening on this journey.

While on the plane, I was watching “Hustle” on Netflix, a movie that I really enjoyed. Spoiler alert There’s a moment in the movie where Bo, a basketball player, is trained by Standley for 1-2 months to prepare him for the NBA. Standley paid for everything because Bo came from Spain and his family was very poor. Unfortunately, Bo failed for the second time and his chances to play in the NBA disappeared.

Bo promised to pay Standley back, but Standley replied, “No, are you kidding me? Training you for 2 months was the best months of my life.” Standley always wanted to become an NBA trainer instead of a scout. This experience cost him $5000-10000+ dollars, if not more, but it was still one of the best moments of his life.

Later, I watched “The Last Stand,” a docu about high school football in the middle of nowhere. There was a white woman who acted as an educational advisor. She primarily helped black students who had dropped out from all over the country. She understood the problems and traumas behind the students’ behavior and did everything she could to help them go to college. She visited classes, helped them with their homework, even when they didn’t do what they were supposed to do.

When asked why she was still there after 10+ years, she replied, “I never thought my path would be in a high school here in Mississippi. I had different dreams and goals, but this place here is where I make the most impact and change lives.”

Lastly, this morning a random YouTube video popped up on my feed about two white guys trying to offer families in Compton to cook dinner for them and eat it together. I usually don’t watch these types of clips, but for some reason I kept watching. After a while, they found a family to cook for, but apparently it was for 10 people instead of 4, so they tried to call for some extra help. This American cook, Andre Rush, who cooked for the White House for decades and is a multimillionaire cook with his own brand, heard about it. He offered to cook for them because he liked the idea.

This man traveled for about 8-9 months from home, was on a 19-hour flight back to LA, and went instantly to this family’s house to cook for them. No money, no fame, just because he loved it.

Now what do all these people have in common?

Purpose.

It’s something magical when I see it in other people, and not many have the privilege to ever find their purpose and do something they actually love. Especially doing things they don’t like doing, the mundane tasks because they know why they’re doing it.

It made me reflect on my own life. What am I actually doing to find that feeling again? I mostly focus on working to earn money so that I can experience other countries. And my job is nice, I love it. But helping students that are in trouble? Nah, go fix your own thing and don’t bother me. That’s not my natural state; normally I’m all in for other people. Maybe my sense of purpose has been fulfilled in this place and it’s time for a new challenge?

It made me think about Scripture as well

Eclessiastes 3:14 "I Perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, not anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before Him

Our human longing to understand purpose, combined with the frustration of not being able to uncover that purpose, should lead us to fear God. Only he can give us that deeply satisfied purpose and it will be on His time only.

[Solomon]

Being on vacation has made me realize how much I can be overly aware of myself. I often think about how people perceive me, how I act in certain situations, and how external influences affect me.

However, during this holiday, I’ve come to the realization that none of that matters. I’m simply relaxing and living in the moment. Nothing is essential, and everything is just fine.

One thing I’ve noticed is how much I enjoy being alone. There are no negative thoughts or feelings of loneliness. When I’m alone at home, I sometimes feel suffocated by the walls closing in on me. But here, I don’t experience that at all.

[Solomon]

I forgot to bring my phone to the beach, what a “coincidence”.

As I sat in the sun, enjoying the moment and taking the time to pray and reflect, everything started to flow. Luckily, I had my handwritten journal with me, so many ideas about life and self-discovery emerged. I prayed, wrote, and took moments to relax for about 2 hours. Being in nature, away from the city, really helps me feel a deeper connection to God.

One thought that surfaced was “Don’t hold back in life, go all in and embrace it”. Travel to different countries, try new things, and step out of your comfort zone. I’ve always had the desire to share my stories and experiences with others, and surprisingly, my students appreciate my opinions even though it’s not the main goal of teaching.

This experience also made me realize how simple life can be. It’s the environment that often makes us think we need more than we actually do. I’ve experienced this many times in nature, particularly in the forest and at the beach. I jokingly told some friends that “When I’m in nature, all my ambitions just fade away.” It’s not that I don’t care anymore; in fact, I love to create, expand my world, and give back. But I prefer a more relaxed and laid-back approach rather than a constant grind mindset.

While studying the Bible, I came across Ecclesiastes 4:8 which resonated with me: “One person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, ‘For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?’ This is also vanity and an unhappy business.”

This sounds like me While it’s important to take care of family, 1 Timothy 5:8 reminds us of this responsibility: "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." However, it doesn’t mean working and depriving oneself of pleasure. Real pleasure comes from experiences and from a relationship with God. Back home, pleasure for me was just sitting on the couch, drinking soda, and eating peanuts. That’s not living; that’s boring.

I used to feel guilty about my desire to travel the world and experience new things. I believe we all have talents that can make the world a better place. Now I see that taking a vacation and trying new things is also making me a better person. It’s necessary to rest so that I can work and inspire others again.

This vacation is teaching me so much about myself. I’m very grateful for it.

The Way of ROI module is fantastic, but it can be frustrating when it comes to mundane tasks. For instance:

• I receive numerous emails from students asking questions that they could easily figure out if they took the time to think about it. Many of my students are only concerned with getting their papers quickly and don’t want to put in the effort. It seems like around 80% of my students are like this. Some of them also struggle to grasp what they need to do and resort to cheating. I say this with respect, as everyone has the right to a proper education. It’s really annoying to deal with unnecessary emails, especially when I’m on holiday.

• I have to study 22 questions for my bible test next Friday. However, the study group insists on writing down the questions one by one, which seems inefficient to me. I know from experience that it takes writing down questions and answers multiple times before they are remembered, and there are many individual ways of learning. It’s frustrating when the study group wants to go through the questions slowly instead of providing them all at once for me to learn at my own pace. I’m way more effective that way.

These frustrations are getting to me today, even though I’m in Egypt enjoying my holiday. I need to remind myself that I’m making 500 Euros today without much effort, so I shouldn’t complain.

This is all part of the ROI module combined with some other modules and Emperor. After this, I’ll definitely add LE back into my routine and stick with it. That sub helps me tackle mundane and “irritating” tasks without any issue.

I don’t want to feel this way, I want to feel grateful for my life. Luckely I changed my internal state quickly today. I’ll tell a story after this were something great happened today.

[Solomon]

Today, I learned a valuable lesson.

Upon arriving at my room, I realized there was no warm water and the sun was shining on the other side of the hotel, leaving my balcony and room in a state of darkness. After 2-3 days there, I decided to ask the lobby if I could switch to a room on the sunny side.

Instead of questioning why I even got this room that is on the quiet 3rd floor and had reliable Wi-Fi by Egyptian standards. I went down to the lobby and ask for a new room.

I was thrilled when I got a room on the sunny side with a luxurious king-sized bed.

However, my excitement quickly faded as I discovered that the room was next to a Russian family who argued loudly all day, and there was a thin door between us that allowed every sound to pass through. Additionally, my room was situated right in front of the music station and the pool, resulting in constant noise in the morning and afternoon. To top it off, the Wi-Fi was so poor that even writing this post became a challenge.

I returned to the lobby to request my old room back, only to find out that it had been rented out to someone else. I now have to wait until tomorrow to see if they can resolve the situation. Everything was fine with my old room, but I was insistent on having sunlight on my balcony.

Lesson learned: sometimes it’s better to appreciate what you have rather than striving for something different.

Dumbass

These frustrations are getting to me today, even though I’m in Egypt enjoying my holiday. I need to remind myself that I’m making 500 Euros today without much effort, so I shouldn’t complain.

Yooooo It hit me out of nowhere.

I should have been grateful for the room that I had. Instead, I was ungrateful and wanted a better one. I didn’t realize how good my room was and that everything was more than fine. Now this Russian family is making so much noise, it’s even worse when I’m at home living in the center.

I really learned my lesson here; don’t be ungrateful for what you have and work with what you’ve got.

I’ll pray tomorrow that I get a nice, quiet room with good wifi. Tonight, I will bless this noisy Russian family, haha.

Edit:

Sitting on the balcony in complete silence makes me realize how fortunate I am. I caught myself feeling irritable after just one day, but why do I let myself behave like that sometimes? Sure, the Bible study can be annoying and answering student emails can be a drag, but really, Jim? Really?

Here I am, sitting in Egypt, enjoying the beautiful weather without having to cook or do anything else, while still making money just by handling some emails. The amount of money I’m making from this project is unbelievable compared to the effort I put in.

I’m genuinely feeling ashamed of my behavior today. I was acting like a spoiled brat.

Over the past few days, I’ve had the chance to meet a few locals, most of whom were named Achmed. One of them was the guy who picked me up from the airport, while another tried to sell me a camel ride while I was relaxing on the beach. I also interacted with several staff members and some cleaners.

I found the stories of the first two guys particularly interesting. They had both moved from Cairo to Hurghada in order to support their families. The only opportunities available to them here are in the tourism industry, such as working in hotels or driving taxis.

It’s quite eye-opening, isn’t it? Sometimes we get frustrated over small things like not making a 10k sale and settling for a 7k sale, or overthinking about asking someone out despite having hundreds of Instagram posts. Meanwhile, these people have to move to Europe to even have a chance to do something they like. Like becoming a laywer or something else.

It really puts things into perspective, especially when most of us here have all the opportunities we need right at our fingertips.

This morning, I did a quick 6-minute loop of LE to motivate myself for work and study. As always, it worked like a charm. I’m eagerly anticipating the new version of this title because it’s already amazing.

It also got me thinking about my journal, Being Wise and Limitless. Today, while studying for my diving lessons this weekend, I found myself getting distracted multiple times. I was able to focus for about 45-60 minutes before getting bored. I took a break, spent an hour at the beach, then returned to continue studying, pushing myself a little further.

One thing I appreciate about cognition subs is that they inspire me to strive for improvement in learning. Engaging in activities like studying and taking tests provides a better benchmark to gauge my progress.

I’m feeling a bit of brain fog now, but that’s okay. Tomorrow, I’ll study some more and also take some time to relax.

[Solomon]

While I’m on vacation, I have to continue studying the entire time. I just found out that the bible test, which I got the questions for today finally , is scheduled for next Friday. So much for relaxing on vacation, I’ll have to study even on the boat to get it all done. And on top of that, I need to fit in 8-10 hours of diving study outside of class.

Strangely, I find myself somewhat enjoying the challenge of unexpected circumstances like this. It feels like a good test at a time when I least expected it.

Something else odd happened today after listening to LE. I felt great all day, but in the evening, I suddenly felt guilty for using LE again. As I was walking, I felt a lump in my throat. I went back to my hotel room and found myself tearing up and asking for forgiveness from God, feeling sorry for using LE again. After about 30-45 minutes, the feeling cleared up and I felt better again.

Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with subliminals from this company. I have no idea why this keep happening. I spoke to a friend on this forum and we both think that maybe I have some deeply subconscious beliefs that all subliminals are associated with new age practices or something. What could possibly be wrong with using LE? Like Emperor I can come to turns with, that subs made me more woman focused and horny because of the sex scripting, not very good when I’m not married. But LE? Cut it out.

I’ll continue to listen, pray, and work on dispelling those thoughts. LE really helped me today with focus and determination.

This morning, I woke up feeling very frustrated with life. I’m angry about how challenging it can be to find a balance between self-improvement and doing it with Christ instead of trying to fix everything on my own. That’s the struggle with self-improvement - it’s focused on the self, while from a faith perspective, we are called to die to ourselves and focus solely on God and serving others in this world. Sometimes I find myself becoming too self-centered when I want something, instead of considering what God wants in that situation.

Obedience in this form is still difficult for me. I want to have control in my life, but that control is fleeting, meaningless, and an illusion. Perhaps this is also happening with my efforts to be more productive and smarter through self-improvement, while completely forgetting to thank God and rely on Him. I’m trying to change myself by myself instead of allowing Him to change me.

This, to me, is the most challenging aspect of faith…

[Solomon]

I was feeling a bit nervous and scared today thinking about diving tomorrow. I’m not a big fan of the ocean, and sharks are definitely my worst fear. But I felt compelled to do it, like God was telling me to go for it.

Then a thought crossed my mind, “Well, I just learned that you can’t catch a cold when you dive, but my nose is never in good shape. So maybe it’s better not to dive tomorrow.”

I chuckled at myself, remembering how important it is to overcome fear, and that nine out of ten times, after doing something like that, it’s amazing.

Now I feel calm and collected about it.
