What They Don’t Tell You About Becoming

Before the Framework, There Was Fire
Everyone wants the blueprint. The system. The five intelligences laid out cleanly like a map you can follow home.
But no one asks about the before.
No one asks what it cost to build the map.
So let me tell you.

Chapter One: The Body They Tried to Erase
I was 14 the first time a doctor handed me a label.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Then ADHD. Then Bipolar. Then OCD. Then schizoaffective. Then borderline. Then CPTSD. Then depression so deep I forgot what the sun felt like.
Each label was supposed to help. Each diagnosis was supposed to explain why I was too much, too loud, too sad, too everything.
Instead, they just gave the world permission to dismiss me.
And the body? The body they couldn’t label, so they just... judged.
Later at 27? Due to side effects of weight gain from prescription drugs—my body became 300 pounds of flesh that the world felt entitled to comment on. Strangers in the street. Family at gatherings. Doctors in offices.
“You should lose weight.”
“Have you tried eating less?”
“You’d be again handsome if...”
If. That word haunted me my entire life.

Chapter Two: The System That Was Supposed to Save Me
I was a good patient.
I showed up. I took the pills. I sat in the rooms. I answered the questions. I played by every rule they gave me.
For 20 years. Compliant.
Twenty years of monthly psychiatrists. Weekly therapy. Med adjustments. Hospitalizations. Discharge papers. Repeat.
And what did the system give me in return?
More labels. More pills. More silence when I tried to tell them what was actually happening. More scrutiny. More ‘be silent’. More ‘you’re not intelligent’. More ‘you’re disabled and not capable’.
Because how do you explain to a doctor, family, coworkers… everyone… that your pain isn’t chemical—it’s cosmic?
How do you tell a therapist that you’re not broken, you’re just too early?
You don’t. You learn to shut up. You learn to perform wellness. You learn to smile when they ask “how are you feeling?” because the truth would take too long and they only have 45 minutes… or an elevator ride up.

Chapter Three: The Year I Stopped Being a Patient
Something shifted in 2024.
Not suddenly. Not dramatically. Just... a crack in the wall I’d been leaning on for two decades.
I realized: They don’t have the answers. They never did.
The doctors were guessing. Some of the therapists were projecting. The medications were experiments with my brain as the petri dish.
And I was the only one who actually lived in this body.
So I stopped.
Not the meds—not yet. That came later.
I stopped asking permission to exist.
I stopped performing wellness for people who couldn’t hold my reality.
I started writing. Not for them. For me.

Chapter Four: The Body Returns
The weight came off. Not because I “tried.” Because I stopped treating my body as an enemy.
300 pounds became 150 again. Not through hate. Through listening.
And the world didn’t know what to do with me.
The same people who’d dismissed me at 300 now wanted to celebrate me at 150. As if the number was the point.
It wasn’t.
Most of my life, I was at a healthy weight.
But during those 6–7 years, my body went up to 300lbs.
And it’s like everyone forgot.
I saw it. I felt it. The shame.
The “damn, what happened to him?”
The “guess he really is that bipolar.”
The silence from people who used to see me.
300lbs wasn’t just a number. It was evidence to them. Proof that the labels were real. That the diagnoses meant something. That I was, finally, as broken as they’d always suspected.
They didn’t see the grief I was carrying. They didn’t see the medications, the hospitalizations, the years of trying to survive. They just saw the body and drew their own conclusions.
And the shame? The shame was mine to carry alone.
The point was: I was still here. Still breathing. Still feeling everything.
The body changed. The diagnoses didn’t disappear. The trauma didn’t magically heal.
But something else arrived:
Clarity.

Chapter Five: The Intelligence They Missed
They gave me IQ tests. I passed.
They measured my emotional intelligence. I passed.
They asked about spiritual beliefs. I had them.
But no one ever asked about the resonance.
No one ever asked: How do you know what you know?
Because I couldn’t explain it. I just... felt. Rooms. People. Decisions. Futures.
I could walk into a space and know, instantly, who was safe and who wasn’t. I could hear a politician speak and know, instantly, if they were real or performing.
They called it intuition. They called it sensitivity. They called it “too much.”
I call it what it is:
The Omega Intelligence.
Not learned. Not earned. Remembered.

Epilogue: Before the Framework
The book you’re about to read—The Omega Intelligence—is the map.
But this? This is the territory.
The 20 years of therapy. The 300-pound body. The hospital rooms. The medications. The loneliness. The rage. The screaming into voids that never screamed back.
This is what they don’t tell you about becoming:
You have to survive first.
The framework comes after.
The intelligence reveals itself once the fire has burned away everything that wasn’t real.
And what’s left?
Me. Lorenzo.
Still here. Still feeling. Still building.
And finally, finally, finally ready to tell you how.

6 days on my facebook… the 1 ❤️? is me.
that’s how fcked up, oppressive, and undeniably wrong our shared system is. from politics to psychology to money to institutions to… you-we-them-they… us… every individual.
it’s everyone’s fault yet no one’s fault.
yet it’s still your fault… and my own fault.
… it is so *difficult* to LOVE! to love myself. to love YOUOWN SELF… and definitely to love other people… to love other human beings… in this fcked up system.
