Sense of Soul - Modern-Day Stories and Age Old Wisdom
Episode Date: September 20, 2024Today on Sense of Soul, we have Bald Solomon he is the author of the Path Series™, unique Self-Help Fiction genre, inspired by personal experiences. Through Bald Solomon lens, he crafted stories tha...t blend action with the pursuit of wisdom and connection with personal evolution. Wisdom: Who was the wisest person in the world? The biblical King Solomon, known for his wisdom and fair judgments. Leaning on this name “Solomon” pushed this author to create situations rich with insight and guidance, chasing his namesake king's ability to navigate complex moral landscapes. Action: "Bald" infuses his name with a sense of intensity and directness. The imagery of baldness—coupled with his characteristic candor and plain truth—complements the wise connotations of "Solomon," promising stories that are both action-packed and meaningful. Transformation: He happens to be bald as a cueball. Yet "Bald" signifies much more than just a physical state. It symbolizes personal growth and the shedding of outdated beliefs. “Bald” invites Bald Solomon to probe themes of rebirth, growth, and the courage to embrace one’s true path. Depth: The combined name "Bald Solomon" is a balance between the ying and the yang, the overt and the subtle, the action and the introspective. It hints at writing that goes beyond surface-level adventures to explore nuances of the human experience. https://baldsolomon.com/ Visit www.senseofsoulpodcast.com Sense of Soul’s NEW affiliate: https://amyleighmercree.com/atomic-healing

Today on Sense of Soul, I have Bald Solomon. He is the author of The Path series, a unique self-help fiction genre inspired by personal experiences.
His pen name, Bald Solomon, is a balance between the yin and the yang, the overt and subtle action and introspective.
In his books, he crafted stories that blend action with the pursuit
of wisdom and connection with personal evolution. And he's with us today to tell us all about it.
So please welcome Bald Solomon. How are you? Hey, very good. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. And so should I call you Jack or Bald Solomon?
No, let's go with Bald.
Yep.
I fully embrace the Bald Solomon moniker.
Shannon, in fact, in the Path series, the names are carefully chosen there.
All the major characters are based on biblical characters.
Their names are.
And it informs the character and informs the reader.
In fact, one of my favorite, early on,
I had one of my close friends read one of the early books
and her comment was, you know, I got, I admit,
her words were, I admit the biblical references
were very prominent and I don't know
whether the character was informing me
or her previous knowledge of the biblical character.
And that's perfect.
That's really why I did what I did.
So, man, you picked on names right off the bat.
That's important, at least in our world.
And I chose a man named Bald Solomon.
I put a lot of thought into who I wanted to be, what it insinuated. I knew I didn't want to use my given name because
my real reason is these books give guidance on very critical, important points in your life.
And I didn't feel what gives me the right to give you that guidance. So I truly was,
did want to tap into wisdom. So I remember I was sitting on the beach at the time,
thinking through possibilities, thinking, you know, who's the most wise people I could amplify?
And King Solomon came to mind. So I chose that. Yet I didn't want to go too far down that path.
I didn't want to be King Solomon. OK, I can't. OK, so given these books are a of, I call them self-help fiction. So there's a
combination of the wisdom with the story. And that's why I chose bald. Bald is a, is kind of
a much more kind of a bold type. It implies action. It implies the story side of it. And
yes, I am bald. So it kind of fit me. So I became bald Solomon. That's, that's who
I, that's who I embrace. I really do. So, so I'm writing a book too. It's called desperately
seeking Sophia. Okay. Oh, neat. Sophia is wisdom, right? And so in, in Solomon spoke of wisdom and
there's in Proverbs eight wisdom, Solomon says, the wisdom of God cries aloud.
You, my God, created me when your purpose first unfolded before the oldest of your works.
From everlasting, I was firmly set from the beginning before earth came into being.
And it goes on and on.
And it literally is spoken as she. And that in the Gnostic Gospels is another thing that is pretty prominent over many of
the Gospels is that wisdom was the feminine aspect of God.
And Proverbs 8, 22, he speaks of wisdom as she.
And you're almost embodying that when you say, and what I like about that one is it's
almost preordained.
It was before you, okay, that that came about. And that's the powerful part of that is recognizing
that there's a path set forward for us. And our job is to discern that, to find that, to become
that, if you will. I agree. I feel like the more space you make, like the more you can
grab that information or it's available anyways for you to. It is. It is. Yet I will admit when
I write these books, there is a guidance. There is a godly part to it and a deeper part to it.
Yet I don't, I'm not outwardly with it. I'm not preaching. I'm not preaching to the choir. I'm really preaching for those who are ready, if you will. Okay, so it can be just a good story all by itself. You know, it follows four generations of a family going through the hard things in life. Okay, and it's a great story yet for those that are ready to be transformed or to take a next step,
it sets the plate. It really does. And that's, and that's what it does. It asks, it encourages
you to ask questions. That's, that's really how at least my, my mechanism. So it's fun. It really
is. Path I'm guided, I'm grieving your father's death. That's the only, you know, parent I've lost so far. And I'm still grieving
him very much, you know, eight years later. Eight years. Okay. I've got almost 30 on my,
my dad died when I was only 31. And so of all the books, that's the most poignant for me,
because it really was happened long ago for me that I could look through it with a different lens.
I wasn't in the emotional side.
It was more of the what can I learn from this and what advice would I give to somebody else?
So for me, that was and is a very personal story.
There's so many stories in the Bible that are just amazing that haven't been told really are focused on. And many of them
are about women, which is one of the reasons why I'm writing my book is to give voice to the women.
I mean, talk about some drama, you have a lot of war, you've got a lot of love. And so I love that
you used them as referenced, and their stories go along with the theme.
Yes. So first of all, we're on a very similar path.
When I think about the stories of the Bible, one caution I have is they're written through the eyes of the writer in a very different time.
Okay.
So when you bring up the female side of it, it was likely written by a male.
Okay.
Through his biases of the time. An example I'll use, one of my major
characters is Delilah, and she's modeled after Samson and Delilah. Well, one interpretation of
Samson and Delilah, you could see Delilah as a very cunning individual that is working to overthrow
the powers, if you will, but looking at it in a different way, she's almost a victim.
She's almost one that is looking to see how can I bring these warring factions together?
Okay. So there's two very different ways to interpret that story. And both stories probably
have some merit and basis. Yes. I've been told by Rabbi Matthew Ponack, who I love to have on,
he's like, I want you to redeem Lilith, which isn't even mentioned in the Bible,
but I do want to redeem her because how they have seen it from a distance or being in it,
maybe not even from a distance, I guess, is that she's like this, you know, Adam's first wife who was so defiant and thrown out into the
sea. But yet, was she? Was she just more of an independent, strong, like, I will not,
you know, be beneath you. We are equal. And, you know, was the first independent,
strong warrior woman. You know, it's almost like they see this defiance as negative, especially for women.
They weren't obedient, right? But then I look at someone like Jesus and I'm like,
Jesus wasn't very obedient. In fact, he came to shake shit up and he did the opposite of what a
lot of people I think see him know, let's just bring peace.
He wasn't here for peace.
He was here to break down those structures and the things that didn't serve people anymore.
So I love that line of thought.
And in the end, one of my characters in the later books,
which are not yet released,
the major character is Zion,
who's loosely based on the character of
jesus okay and uh in this case it is the shaking up it is the ability to question status quo
that is the power of zion it really is yes i love that oh i can't wait to read that yes i
really love this idea i I, I'm,
I'm in fact,
this is kind of stuff I think really can connect with people,
but yet also make a difference in seeing things from a different
perspective,
because that's all it takes is a little bit of shift.
Right.
And how you see.
Yes,
it's exactly right.
So in,
in every case I want,
I want you to enjoy the story.
Just, you know, it's just a story.
Yet there's an underlying message that if you're willing to connect with the characters, which is they're very relatable, you'll care about what they're going through.
And ultimately, as they transform, it invites you to question, could, could I, or should I transform with them? You
know, it's always questioning. It always is. And, and, uh, for me, I believe I can impact people.
I believe the reason I, I started down this journey is it's a, it's an ability to reach
so many more people than, than I would otherwise. So it's a, it is transformational. It's, it's, it's fun process.
So how much did you learn through doing this? Because I tell you what,
I don't know if I'll ever end my book.
This is taking so long because I'm constantly still learning more.
And then I kind of said, well, maybe I just need to stop with, I mean,
it's either going to be like a Bible itself and be ginormous or it'll be a lifelong project or I could make individual ones, which is kind of like what you did.
Yeah.
In fact, I went through, there's so many different things there.
First of all, one of my writing mentors said, you can always make a book better.
At some point you have to print.
Okay.
So that was a reminder.
Okay. So that was a reminder. Okay. Yet my journey has lasted decades
and only recently have I finally begun to publish. And my reason is I was trying to
boil the ocean. I was trying to write the book of life. And when I finally created the, my current
format, which is a slice of life, one after another, after another. And that's truly what we do. We live in the moment.
We live in today's slice. We don't have tomorrow and yesterday's gone. So when I started looking
at that, now I can write a short book. It's only 40,000 words. You can read it in three or four
hours. I can produce another one every, call it twice a year. So I'm always writing, always engaging and covering one
more slice of life for you. So for me, that's what it took. That was a, just a shift change for me.
I'm still writing the book of life and I think I will forever. I really will.
Well, you know, it's not, I think about even just leaving something for my children too,
because, and I think you'll relate,
what do we receive all of this wisdom for? Just ourselves? You know, the lessons that we've
learned as we grow older and we need to pass on to the next generation, which is exactly what I
think the Bible is. Yes. Oh, no question. That is past the wisdom of the ages. And that, that is written down for those
in the future. And you're right, I'm now at an age, I'm older than you, that I am considering
what is my legacy? You know, what have I left? I have one daughter, she's 35. And what have I
helped her do or not do or learn or not learn? And so being able to have a vehicle that can portray, can pass on some of the things that I believe in and hopefully help people beyond where I am.
OK, it really is. Legacy matters. You know, the it always does. Again, I'll go back. My very first book in the series, which also is not released.
It focuses on on Grandpa Mosey.
And as he gets in and you can guess who he might be modeled after.
And he as he gets later in life, he questions his value in life and what has he passed on. And the rest of
the series proves he did pass it on. In the rest of the series, you see the shadow of Grandpa Mosey.
And that gives us one way to think about what is our legacy. And that's why it's there.
Yeah. And I love that it's a way to kind of bring your story forward because a lot of these are your own personal experiences, but it is also made into also a little bit of fiction, right?
It is.
Yeah, it's just a story.
It's just fiction.
Yet earlier you asked me what I learned.
What I came to appreciate is the universal nature of humans.
Okay. What I came to appreciate is the universal nature of humans. OK, I've never met you before today, but we've been through similar things in life.
The transformational things that occur, meeting your first love, getting married, having a baby, having your first child, your dad dying.
All these events are common throughout time and space. And it was true
in time, the Bible was written, and it'll be true long after I'm gone. And, and so it's not just my
experiences, it really is our experiences. And, and they're, they're intended to be those universal
moments where it carves my life.
It shapes my life.
And it likely carved and shaped your life.
You know, it likely did.
One thing that everyone can connect to is grief.
Yes.
You know, and if you haven't grieved, you haven't loved.
So it is that universal truth and that we all experience as hard as it is.
But it also is just love.
It is.
One quote I've seen attributed to Queen Elizabeth II is,
grief is the price we pay for love.
And it truly is.
You don't get one without the other.
One of the first things I saw on your website,
I was like grieving your father's death.
And, you know, in moments like that, you know,
and there was so much synchronicity as I was looking through your stuff. And I've been really looking forward to having you because
you know, I found Solomon's story. In fact, I talk a lot about him in my book because of Sophia. He
was one of the people I was very curious of, like, why did he write so much about Sophia? And when
God said, you know, if you will build me this temple for the ark,
I will grant you any wish you want. And he wanted wisdom. and live their best lives? Well, this is your chance to become a certified atomic healing method medical intuitive

Now back to our amazing guest.
I try to bring a common view to this.
So it meets the many.
So when you talk about building a temple, okay, there's a lot of ways to interpret building
a temple.
And you and I and others today are building temples, you know, to honor our parents or to build the future, whatever that is.
It's not always just a big, tall building on a hill.
OK, a temple is much more than that.
I encourage my readers to find those alternate meanings because in the end, OK, you and I have very similar wants, needs, ideas.
Like we've we've read some of the same stuff.
Not everybody has. Right. Yet we still all have the same fundamental needs for a purpose.
OK, to understand why I'm here and why I do what I do.
So I look for and I encourage my readers to find the alternate meaning that is right for them.
OK, because if I can meet them where they are,
it'll work.
And that's my goal for them.
It may or may not be what I thought it was,
but it could be wisdom.
It could be Jesus.
It could be a box somewhere.
It could be a book.
If it helps you get through your journey,
it's doing its job.
Okay.
So I'm a person that when I read and when I write, I look into how does it impact me
and how does it impact the reader?
So your interpretation may be very different than mine.
And I encourage that, frankly, because I want you to get what you can out of it, whatever
that is.
You might get more than I will, but I want you to get what you can. of it, whatever that is. You might get more than I will, but I want you to get what you can.
That's where I like it.
Yeah, I think that's how the Gnostic Gospels come across to me.
It's beyond parables.
It's more of those allegorical stories.
And really, what it means to me means something totally different.
I love that kind of stuff, like the Zen stories.
Okay.
I live for Zen stories.
They're some of the best ones.
And actually my dad used to tell stories like that,
but they would be like old folk tales.
They'd be super funny and they would rhyme and everything,
but they had like this wisdom in it.
But you know, right here,
the planet desperately needs more peacemakers,
but it goes storytellers, right?
Nice.
Yes.
You know, that's also like
handing down, you know, the stories of the past of your own family and traditions.
Yes. I'm a, I'm a believer that it's, for me, it's easier to tell a story than to preach a lesson.
Okay. And when I listen, what I remember is the story because they're typically then tied to emotion.
And if you can make somebody feel, they will remember it then.
So I'm a strong believer that a story well told is worth a thousand words.
It really is.
I've always told people that, like, don't talk at your kids.
You know what I mean?
Listen to them
first but you know share your own experiences like that's for me when you can relate to me
is when i can feel like we're connected you know when you're talking at me i feel like I'm less sad or I'm not good enough or I'm, you know, wrong or shamed.
Yeah, yes, that's right. And, and I think a lot of that's centered around empathy. You know,
if I can, one of Grandpa Mosey's, if you will, commandments is walk in their shoes. And so the
idea is truly, if I can walk in your shoes, I'm much more likely to
appreciate your challenges, understand and appreciate your current state, whatever that is.
And whether you're right or wrong is not what's important. It's that's where they are. So it's my
job to meet them where they are. So walk in their shoes. That's one way. So how many books do you
plan to write? There's 20 in the series. I've got
my fourth one comes out in a month in September 3. And the next ones are planned. They're not
written, but I've got a I've got a plan thought through. So and I'll tell you how I picked the 20
titles, the 20 subjects, I did a lot of good a lot of research around the stressful events in life, the shaping
events in lives. And you know what, it's a list of around 20 things, you know, you can include some
or not, but I chose the things that are impactful. And then the challenge is to write a fun story,
an action story, a good story centered around that, that event.
Yeah. Let's talk about that. The wisdom and then action.
Yes. And then transformation. That's the key. Yes. All of mine, I can deliver a message and
I can create a good story, but unless there's a transformation, all I did was entertain.
Okay. What I really want to do is make a difference. So my goal is
the character, the main character always goes through a transformation in each book.
Okay. And as doing so, the reader is encouraged explicitly almost to go through a transformation
with them. So if they're ready, they will evolve in life. And in fact, moreover, the very last words in every book is a call to
action for that very reason. I use the words exactly. It says, make it be so. So the goal,
I've been set in this stage this whole way, and I've now set the plate for you to decide.
And the very last words always are, make it be so the reader gets to choose i ask you to choose
take a step take one more step and if we can do that the books are worth it that's that's why i do
i love that so very much you know you said something earlier when you said we're all
building our own temple i had a dream that there was this like jesus-like figure and he was with
like i would think his disciple,
maybe,
maybe Thomas.
I'll say Thomas.
I don't know.
Thomas feel definitely not a Peter feel.
No,
they're like standing in front of this line of like all these people.
It was almost like,
in my mind, it was like a food line or something,
but they weren't any food.
They were handing out wood,
like four by fours,
you know,
to build something. were and they were they
were only giving people a little bit her family or whatever and um the guy was like why are you
just giving the our wood away they're just gonna go and take it for themselves and this teacher i
didn't know for sure if it was jesus but he said then they will not have built their seat in our temple.
Okay.
It kind of clicked with me because on a larger scale,
there's like this individual journey and then there's like this collective journey, right?
Yes.
And, but yet it is all one in many ways.
It is, you know, that's a powerful dream you had there.
I know.
You talk about, you talk, that's a powerful dream you had there. I know you talk
about, you talk about building your own seat. We are doing that yet. That implies there's a,
a larger vessel that the sit, the seat is being built upon, whether it's a temple,
whether it's an arc, whatever it is, but it really is both my seat and our seat. And it's,
uh, that, that, uh, that there's more there in the dream than I know.
Okay. So that's, that was a good one. Good. And you know, it's just one of those things.
It's just like any story told, you know, you can find, you know, wisdom all over it. Have you ever
read the alchemist? Oh, of course. My that's my favorite book of all time. I've been writing about
it in my preface because literally every time I read
it.
Yes.
I'm totally different.
So magical.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
If I could,
if I could be the,
even at that stage,
that is exactly,
that is what this whole series is modeled over.
The size of my books match the alchemist,
the tone of my book. Frankly,
he was able to get what I'll consider the story of life into one book. It takes me 20. Okay. So
yeah, that's, that's a, that's a great story. And what I like about what you just said is
the power of rereading it, because you're in a different place when you read it the next time,
and you will get different.
That's good.
I've read it multiple times.
Yeah, it's so magical.
And have you ever met Colm Holland?
I have not.
Have you?
Yeah, several times, actually.
Yeah.
Very good.
And he actually was the first person to look at the book.
And then he wrote his own know, his own version.
Now, are you with who's publishing your book?
I'm self-published.
You're self-published.
Yes.
So that's been a fun journey on its own. I said a lot of challenges for myself and learning and understanding the writing and
publishing business world is a completely different challenge than the artistic, creative side of creating the book.
So it's a whole other side of me.
It's fun.
You should get picked.
Maybe you'll get picked up by a big publisher.
Yep.
I'm sure I could.
I haven't tried, honestly.
I wanted to keep true to my vision.
So I wasn't willing to let go.
Okay, that's why I'm going down the path
I am. At some
point, I might, but right now,
the journey's worth it right now.
I love that. I just had on
Mark Victor Hansen. He wrote The Chicken Soup
of the Soul Books. Sure, yes.
Yeah, sold more, but he's in the World Book
of Records. For the most books sold.
I should message him and say,
you should read his books. Do it it for me yes i absolutely will i'd appreciate that yes
uh there's a heavy overlap between uh readers of chicken soup for the soul and the past series
there's a because they're all short easy to read they deliver a focused message there's
multiples it's it's, although different, his is
based in real life stories. Mine are fictional, but they're doing the same thing. They really are.
I think he would love this. I got some steps with publishers, but I can't get it out.
Okay. Well, that's up to you. How far along are you?
Well, I have enough for at least three books.
So that's my problem is how to end and then start over.
I went through the same thing.
And for me, it was changing the format,
changing what the book looked like.
It didn't change the message or the vehicle.
It was how do I create something that I could get a slice of?
And so you'll figure what yours belongs and you'll get there.
And, you know, actually it was a dream, but I saw three books and I saw,
and that's when you put them all together, it made like a goddess figure.
So let me tweet.
We have different vehicles, the same thing.
So first of all, each of my books have a path on the front.
Okay.
And when you line up all 20, the same path will show up on your bookshelf, if you will.
So your goddess is my path.
Same thing, different vehicle. Many of us are receiving a lot of the same creativity, messages and just that strong importance i guess just to raise
the consciousness of humanity and be there you know for each other and and just show that i'm
like i'm i'm human and so are you right yes there's uh again, and you fully appreciate this, the humans are human. We have been for
generations before us and generations after. So, you know, the emotion, the events,
they're not new. They're only new to us. That's what we learned.
You know, people are people. So what could it be?
You and I should get along so well. Okay. So I hope your book goes better than your song.
Yeah.
Was that Depeche Mode? Who was that?
I don't know that one.
Yeah. Oh, I love that song. Yeah. People are people, of course.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
And, you know, even me as a mother, as a young mom, I, you know, I tried to put a smile on when I was stressed or emotionally holding everything in.
And finally, I just was like, I couldn't do it anymore.
It turned into pain, you know?
And so that's when I just start saying, guys, life is hard.
Yeah. And be open to help. My next book I mentioned is Embracing Your First Child,
Path Enriched, Embracing Your First Child. And that is the underlying message that it takes a
village. You know, it's trite, but it's not, it, it really is your child. You have the large, large influence yet the people you surround yourself with and entrust
your child's care to have a, a formative role in their lives.
So there's no shame in me saying, I, I want, need help.
That's a, I think you're doing your, your family and your, your children doing, doing
a service, frankly.
Yeah. your family and your children doing a service, frankly. Yeah, I suffer when I had my few choice words that I screamed out of craziness.
That's where the editor comes into play.
You know, some things you forget 10 years later, okay?
That part you just forget.
But you know, I was just, I have a client too.
He and his wife have been struggling to have a child for so long.
And this is a very common thing right now, you know, because of all the hormones that we're in taking things that are toxic in our environment.
And, you know, I actually him and I talked a lot about, you know, in the Bible, you know, this is something that, you know, many times, you know, the stories of like Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, right.
And even Mother Mary's mother, Anne.
So this story isn't in the Bible.
It's an apocryphal text.
It's in the Quran.
It's even in a Gnostic text, her entire story of her mother, too.
And it was always them praying and being visited by an angel.
It seems like those stories are just coming back into right now.
So I think this is so fun, what you're doing.
So fun.
I am excited.
Thank you.
Yes.
Yeah.
Each one, each one I, I write and release.
I think that's the best one yet.
Every time I get so excited and so appreciative of really getting into the
moment with, with this situation, with this character, with the, you know,
whether it's, you know, as, as simple as finding a new job,
starting a new job has all this new,
new beginnings that allow you to almost,
I call it a path reborn because when you start a new job in this example, you really are rebuilding
a new life. That segment of you is being redefined and actively doing it in ways that you can be
proud of later that are true to your values, true to your, your long-term mission is,
is part of, is part of what I, what I ask you. Carl Young wrote a book about a guy that lost
everything and then the devil attempted, Job. Oh my God, I love that. I love the book of Job.
Yes. So you're picking all, are you, did you read my books already? Cause one of the main
characters is Job. Okay.
That's a really good one.
You know, that story.
Yes.
Yeah.
It reminds you that one, nothing is promised.
Okay.
It reminds you of what you think is necessary, may or may not actually be necessary.
And the actions you take moving forward is the only thing I can
control. It really is. So make it be so. Can't wait to read your book. So tell me,
how many do you have out now? The four, Path Unguided, Grieving Your Father's Death.
I have Path Blocked, Overcoming Unemployment. Oh, that's a good one. A lot of people.
It is. There's all kinds of emotion around insecurity
that you have to overcome.
You're getting messages from the world
that may not match what you really want.
Okay.
I mentioned earlier,
path reborn, starting a new job,
and then path enriched,
embracing your first child.
And this one almost has a mystical quality to it
of all the other ones. This has this, you. And this one almost has a mystical quality to it of all the
other ones. This has this, you'll appreciate this one. I've only known you for an hour now,
but you've got, you've got an understanding of things beyond, beyond, and this, this has that,
that one has that. It really does. Yeah. Oh, very cool. Yeah. And especially because I'm
such a mother. I mean, I got four kids from 27 to 12.
Wow. Okay.
I'm the forever mother.
There's worse things in life than that. You're blessed. That's nice.
Well, Tom, thank you.
Thank you. And then for your viewers, where I always finish my books, you know, this has been a great talk, but unless they put it to action, it was just entertainment.
