Background Story for Context:
So earlier this year, the limitation of my intelligence became so apparent to me that I started looking for ways to be more intelligent. I was studying insurance, and it would be like I read and reread the same sentences/paragraphs multiple times and not really remember or understand what I just read. So I would spend hours studying and the information basically just would not stick. Honestly so lucky because when I took the major tests I would pass right on the dot, if the passing grade is 70% for a 170 questions test, I would get exactly 70% changing 2 answers right before I submit it because my intuition came in clutch (I prayed beforehand too lol I knew I needed the help). But even after getting my licenses there are tons of studying and in the insurance field, being knowledgeable is very important to actually be of service to others and I felt very lacking even after spending many hours in studying.
Knowing myself is my main focus and my friend that taught me my current process told me multiple times that I’m not applying intelligence to understanding what I’m doing and with the effort and time that I’m putting in I could’ve been way past where I’m currently at.
The logic is that if I get smarter I can spend less time doing more materially and spiritually so I started digging in the brain threads. I actually had Manhattan Method back when it first came out but after about 1 month of playing 3 times a day with no boosters, I stopped playing it because I had unrealistic expectations. I actually stopped using all fields other than the NFTs and even the NFTs I just wore them passively occasionally meditating with them for essentially the whole 2023 and beginning of 2024 because I gave myself to the other processes I was doing.
I started reading through the brain threads towards the end of March. Funny because the last straw was my older brother told me he had taken an actual IQ test years ago and got around 140 so we did the simplified Mensa IQ test with the whole family and mine came out to be the lowest amongst my siblings at 107. That was on March 26, and on the 27th I bought OM, WM, CC, and started looping it with MM lol. I set a goal for myself to commit to the looping grind for at least 3 months, aiming for 500-700 hours for MM and CC (inspired by @Jojo). Then I’m gonna take that IQ test again to see the before and after.
Progress Report:
So today’s 5/8 and I just passed the 500 hours mark for MM and CC will get there in 4 days, I also picked up ABP and CB at the flash sale and im at around 260 hours for CB, I’m also looping quite a few other brain fields but not recording hours anymore because I don’t feel how many hours are important, whether I have the results that I’m satisfied with is what matters. I am probably gonna keep prioritizing MM, CC, and CB for at least 2-3 more months because I feel there’s so much more to get from them.
The results that I’ve observed so far (have not taken a break yet) is that my ability to understand things has gotten much better. I will read materials that I’ve previously read and pick up at least 4x the things I got before and have the clarity of what I need from it (I was like, how did I not pick up those important bits before? Crazy). My intuition is much heightened, many times I want something a thought will come and I know exactly where to look whether information or physical objects. One of the best thing I got is having the clarity of what needs to be done. Many concepts that I’ve learned previously that I know are important are finally clicking. While I am using many other tools simultaneously that I know are contributing to my progress as a whole, I know these brain fields are doing their jobs wonderfully.
So I’m thinking of picking up at least 1 more booster either BK or SS possibly both to maximize my gains and WT my next purchase. If I had to pick one booster, I’m leaning more towards SS what y’all think?
