Next I would like to talk about limiting beliefs coming after intelligence. About brain fields, about your own raw intelligence level, about limited perspectives, etc.
I have fallen into this conundrum countless times. Where you gain intelligence, and then you feel dumber, leading you to wonder if the wiring is even working, if the brain fields even garner results for you like it does for everyone else. Some of this in my face was overstimulation and low dopamine, which made information processing like 3x worse for me than it normally would be. I had to reverse engineer my daily regimen and gauge the smallest abnormalities in my schedule in comparison to a “Trusted Psychologist’s Recommendation” which proved to me that I’m not at my highest capacity. Some of this also comes from a completely fried brain with very little rest. I mean we’re growing our brains at most likely the highest level ever seen humanistically.
The way I was able to really prove to myself that the wiring worked was, well, when I stepped out of the house and did something out of my comfort zone… When I actually challenged my brain. I went to college and immediately began diving into concepts even with this fried brain. Understanding the concepts, helping teach the class, getting A+'s on every assignment, test, and quiz, without studying, etc.
I believe this is what Dr_Manhattan meant when he stated something along the lines of “Try to do something difficult rather than rely on your thought patterns”. Because if you don’t put yourself out there, you may never know how intelligent you truly are. These fields are about making you learn much easier, quicker, more efficiently, and even enhancing things like memory, vocabulary, etc. But there are many ways you can hinder the revealing of these gains. Such as never testing yourself, never trying difficult things, etc.
Slow wiring from this new age of circuitry fields has many people unaware of their jump from previous levels of intelligence. As Philip says once again, “Slow wiring makes people feel as though they’ve always been this intelligent”, which is sad because well, you aren’t appreciating your own gains and hard work.
But to further extrapolate on the previously discussed point on reasons why people may not notice results, I will created a numbered list of examples:
- Your brain is fried, and you are not healed. If you took 1-3 weeks off, you may see a much larger scale in intelligence. You don’t even realize what’s feasible mentally. Your brain is a muscle, and you haven’t given it the rest it needs, while growing your brain at super high levels every single day. Imagine playing muscle roar for 5+ hours every day lol. Yes we have PBoY and others, but damn our brains are taking beatings LOL.
- Mental health such as low dopamine. People do not understand how dopamine and intelligence correlate. Things like working memory, memory formation, processing speed, etc. are all limited by poor dopamine levels. All the scrolling we do, addictions we have, and other sorts of issues could stop us from seeing massive gains. If you took a short term dopamine detox, you’d see results so quickly if you’ve truly been grinding. Fields like ABP and BG have so many dopamine benefits, but they can even be squashed through addiction.
- Fixing weaknesses. I’m met countless members here who have weaknesses, and they know they do, but they prioritize other fields because of the “boom” it will give them in cognition. If you struggle with reading, why would you not prioritize speed reading field? If you struggle with speech comprehension, why would key to babel not shoot up to the front? Don’t you know that the ability to “Mentally represent concepts in your mind” from the Manhattan Method can be brutally improved upon through linguistic understandings, as well as the fact that most of the learning we do comes form language? This is only 2 examples of people who want to improve their brain, but are being limited by actual problems, yet instead only decide to focus on improving their “already strengths”. It’s simply not the most efficient.
- You aren’t grinding as hard as you think you are. Most people think they are putting in countless amounts of effort, surpassing limits, etc. Meanwhile many of us are lapping them 3x a day for more hours, with more fields, with more strategy, and more understandings. So when they compare their results to ours, it sounds like placebo to them lol. Because they perceive they should have our results by now. I’ve met people who say “I’ve been looping more than anyone on this field and I haven’t noticed substantial gains”, and then they find out I’ve played the field literally 10x more than them, with more boosters, and with more understandings of what to expect. This isn’t egotistical, this is simply choosing to be rational. I personally have many more months to go until I finish the circuitry for my fields, maybe even a year and a half, and then after that the circuitry could keep getting stronger and stronger which means it never actually ends. Yet you have some people come up after 1 month expecting to have these massive gains that I personally know will take me myself another 3-6 months to achieve lol, and that’s with my 3 months starting point to begin with.
Just some encouragement guys, stay strong and don’t forget to loop Alchemical Revision of Genius and Subconscious Limits Dissolver if you ever feel unintelligent. Don’t forget to take breaks, and to prioritize mental health as well. I can promise you that none of us who are using brain fields are at our “peak” until we take breaks and watch our habits.
