Memory Storage
Your memory can be used like a computer: you can develop a peripheral device and
use it to store your images, analogous to the computer and its hard drive, or external
drive.
For humans, this is as simple as using someplace which they are really intimate with,
such as
their home, and visually placing images of what they wish to remember in different
locations
within. I go into much greater detail in my book and in the newsletter, but you can try
this
now by making a grocery list, or something, and visually going through your location
and
visualizing the items, one at a time, in separate locations in the house, or whatever
you decided
to use as your storage device. It's that simple! I'll give you examples to practice with
in the
newsletter.
That's only the beginning of memory enhancement. You can go much further and
develop a really
super memory (photographic memory) and amaze people. I've had people tell me
there's some trick
here, or that I must have someone sending me signals or something. The truth is, just
about anyone
can do it with a little practice.
Thank you for your request. You might now realize that visualization is the
key to the process of developing a "VIRTUAL MEMORY" (or photographic
memory). Th
e first step in this process is to develop a location in which to store the thin
gs you wish to remember. To do this you must use a location you know well like y
our home or some other place you know intimately. Then you need to visualize thi
s place and number sub-locations within it starting with 1 and all the way to at
least 25. It will be very helpful if you map this out on paper and practice reca
lling each sub-location by number until you can visually walk through and recall
the number of every one, (i.e. front door, hallway,etc).
This is the first and most critical step. Once you have developed your visual lo
cation and all of its numbered sub-locations, you will be able to store anything
...
Now that you have a location to store the things you wish to remember, prac
tice a visual walk-through of the sub-locations until you can recite each by num
bered locations.Once you know this thoroughly, ask someone to give you a list, o
ne by one, of things to remember. Visualize each item in each location as they a
re given to you. You should be able to recite back that list without effort. The
next lesson will help you to become more proficient at this. Practice with only
about 10 to 15 items at first. Then expand your list to 25. Soon it will become
second nature.
The trick is to see the thing you are trying to remember as vividly as poss
ible. See it first in its normal state, then enlarge it, then change its color.
Try to experience it by hearing what it might sound like (dog's bark?), feel it
, or remember what it might feel like, smell it, taste it and so on. This is usi
ng all of your senses (modalities) in order to experience the things you place i
n each sub-location within your main location. After practicing this, you will b
e able to recite back a list of 25 things in any order. Soon you will be able to
do this with 100 or more and even make movies in these locations for remembering
material for an exam or a speech.
Practice!
But of the utmost importance--relax! Stress can be a contributing factor to a not-so-
good memory.
Have confidence in knowing that when you learn this system, you'll never have to
worry about memory problems again.
