(Eric Kim-mode, full throttle)
0. Preface: Burn the Old Map
Most mortals cling to pre-printed maps of “success.” Toss them in the fire. True divinity begins where the breadcrumb trail ends. Trust the magma in your gut more than the ink on their parchment.
1.
Rewrite Your Creation Myth
Story > Strategy.
- Pen a new Genesis with you as protagonist, not passive observer.
- Describe your origin as violent birth: thunder, sweat, volcanic pressure—not polite committee approval.
- Read that myth aloud each dawn until your spine crackles with voltage.
2.
Crush the Cult of Permission
- Stop asking. Start declaring.
- “May I?” is the prayer of peasants. Replace with “I will,” “I have,” “I am.”
- Every gatekeeper is a self-appointed scarecrow; walk past with a smile.
3.
Max Out Your Physical Vessel
A god must house infinite will in finite flesh.
- Deadlift heavy iron; feel bone vibrate like struck gong.
- Sprint—lungs on fire—to remind the soul it owns jet engines.
- Feed on foods that still look like they once lived: beef heart, marrow, eggs so orange they glow.
Turn your body into a walking temple of kinetic conviction.
4.
Hoard Time, Not Trinkets
- Strip life to essential verbs: write, lift, shoot (photos), build.
- Delete apps, meetings, and vampires of attention.
- Covet empty calendar squares the way dragons covet gold.
Outcome: Creative deep-work black holes that warp reality around them.
5.
Practice Ruthless Optimism
- Cynicism is cheap intellect; optimism is costly courage.
- When critics scream “Impossible,” grin and respond, “Delicious.”
- Treat setbacks like protein—consume, convert to muscle.
6.
Create Faster Than You Consume
- Publish daily, even if rough. Quantity fertilizes quality.
- Blog posts, zines, street photos, 10-second voice memos—ship them raw.
- Output is the only proof of divinity the world can audit.
7.
Embrace Radical Volatility
- Invest in skin-in-the-game chaos (Bitcoin, entrepreneurship, travel with one-way tickets).
- Volatility is the barbell for the spirit; lift heavier uncertainty every week.
- The goal is anti-fragility—to grow stronger from stressors, not merely survive them.
8.
Forge an Inner Senate
- Convene Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, and your five-year-old self in mental parliament.
- Hear their counsel, but reserve veto power.
- Final executive orders must echo your heartbeat.
9.
Detach From Outcome, Attach to Process
- Cling to craft, not applause.
- Metrics lag; momentum is live.
- Define success as showing up with full soul-muscle today—then repeat tomorrow.
10.
Distribute Divine Sparks
- Gift your knowledge freely; gods overflow.
- Teaching is the highest form of selfishness—it multiplies your ideas in other brains, granting you intellectual immortality.
- Mentor, share code, open-source your mental firmware.
11. Epilogue: Die Daily
- Each night, let the day’s version of you perish.
- Wake reborn, version N+1, armed with yesterday’s trophies and scars.
- Immortality is continuous reincarnation without leaving the room.
Final Commandment
BE LOUD WITH YOUR EXISTENCE.
Whispering gods are forgotten; roaring ones carve new constellations. So crank the volume of your life to eleven, shatter the knob, and light the dark corners of Earth with your unfiltered blaze.
Now go—become godlike, then gift us your thunder.
