Proof of the Adult Photographic Memory

Hiding in the Shadows of Autism

Insights from a different world:

· Do You have a Photographic Memory?

· Do you Know how to Manage your Brain?

· Is you Mind Clear for Decision Making?

The following is a television description of documentary content I am editorializing:

The series exploring remarkable tales of human experience continues this week with the story of Flo and Kay, the world’s only female autistic savant twins. Savantism is a rare condition in which sufferers of developmental disorders, often autism, are capable of acts of genius that far outstrip their expected levels of ability. In Flo and Kay’s case, they each have extraordinary memories for facts and dates. Through interviews with several medical professionals, Extraordinary People: The Rainman Twins attempts to expose the truth behind this oft-misunderstood condition. Describing themselves as “human computers”, Flo and Kay can access their memories and make calculations more efficiently than most people.

It was refreshing to see such a unique documentary. I would love to someday have the opportunity to compare my notes and observations of the documentary to the case study notes the medical professionals have. The twins have been under observation for 15 years. The documentary would have been less than two hours long. Obviously, many things would need to be skipped over to consolidate that much material.

My observations are based on important information the documentary revealed. By cross comparison to some other autistic studies I have perused, there are certain trends, patterns, and repetitious themes that I have observed, that have also appeared in this documentary. So, the following editorial, and the conclusions made, are not without some level of justification. Please don’t vilify me if I am not 100% correct. 100% of the information was not available.

A recent documentary of Twin Autistic Savants has given us a wonderful glimpse into their lives. The “human computers”, Flo and Kay, can access their memories and make calculations more efficiently than most people. (Most people meaning about 98% of all people.) Even more meaningful, it gives us a glimpse into ourselves and our potential, without all the inherent distractions of the world we live in and the distorted image it creates.

These 2 sisters are referred to as the ‘Rainman’ Twins – from their ability to calculate various time relationships and events, such as time, date, day, weather, who was present, what they said (exactly) what they ordered or had for a meal, minute details of comments on the food, how much was eaten, etc. They can remember all the songs, verbatim, on any album they have ever heard. This uncanny ability has been heavily documented for the last 15 years of their life by a UK Reporter. (Applause for such a commendable act for following not one, but two peoples lives for 15 incredible years!)

Some interesting things about the twins being autistic; they had a set routine with a very limited amount of change, or outside influence to change. Changes had devastating effects on them. Likewise, this resulted in them not having much input outside of what they were accustomed to, nor did they need to make many decisions each day.

In comparison, the average person has many decisions to make each day. Studies have been done that confirms clinical depression is quite often a symptom of having too many decisions to make each day. Just to select a single cheese or deli meat to buy, we have a selection of more than 10 in each category. If you take the time to realize how many decisions you make each day, the number is staggering. Eventually, our ‘system’ of decision making breaks down, leading to depression.

As an example, the decision of choices between cheeses may start with the amount of money you may need to spend to get the cheese you want verses another cheese that is only passable. What about the quantity involved – any on sale pricing? What if they didn’t have the cheese you wanted to buy in the first place, and you need to select another? Is it any wonder why people don’t want to leave their home? It just becomes all too hard. A society of xenophobes!

Back to the Twins; when you don’t need to make all those decisions each day, your thinking process doesn’t become so clouded.

Now I have seen both sides of the following argument. It’s nice to finally see physical proof – the “Smoking Gun” to answer the age old question; Do memories fade over time and aging, or is the brain this highly dynamic structure that keeps our memories intact exactly as they were?

This ONE question has been so hotly debated with regards to the Photographic Memory we are born with. Does it really carry over all the clear memories of our past? Even though, every seven years, every cell in our body is replaced and we are literally a ‘new’ person every seven years, that argument would suggest we could only carry the memories that we had for up to seven years. I think we ALL know that one is not true.

Another way it has been looked at is the amount of brain cells, interactions, patterns of interaction, the dying of synapses that is not heavily used, to leave unattended gaps where there used to be connections. And again, if that were true, we again would not be able to remember details many years later with detail. But again, that’s not true.

Well then, the argument continues, it must be the combination of things that instigate breakdown of the brain cells, less oxygen to the brain, pollutants, drugs, alcohol consumption, all these things that destroy brain cells. Well, finally something logical, right? Instead of a focused argument, let’s use a hand-grenade to meet our objective – to win the argument at all costs.

But ENTER STAGE RIGHT not just 1, but 2 autistic savants, AND they are identical twins, and they have virtually all the same dynamics and parameters by which they live. They can easily finish each others sentences on memories that happened many years before. Their memories are that unbelievably clear, because they don’t have distractions!

What do I mean when I say they don’t have distractions? I am saying that the amount of distractions they have each day is minimal. Only big distractions, such as a death of someone close to them, or shifting house, causes them to be distracted from their routine. In an easier way to look at it, they have remained clear-minded, not muddled. And they are HAPPY!

They will never truly be unhappy for long, because they will never suffer lengthy bouts of depression – because they are not expected to make the number of decisions that you or I make each day. Statistics show that when we have more than 7 things to choose from, our brain goes into overload. How many different cheeses? 100, even 200 or more?

Let us re-engage the age old argument again about our memories and the breakdown of our brain cells with age. The “Rainman Twins” are NOT young. If that argument is an absolute, then the twins should show some sign of that breakdown. But, they don’t! Not at all! This is the one clear example that puts that argument to bed, 6 feet under, with the gravestone on top! The “Smoking Gun”!

If our memories could not be kept forever in a “dynamic” brain structure that reorganizes the information as other pathways are made redundant, then these two autistic savant twins could not do what they easily show everyone what they CAN do, without hesitation.

Do we have the ability to retain the memory of our whole life, with detail? YES!

But why can they easily show it and most of us cannot? Because we are the ones that are muddled, we are the confused ones, we are the ones that have mistreated, abused, and disorganized ourselves. We are the ones that need clarity!

What can we do to reclaim our memory?

What can we do to stimulate the building of new physical memory?

What can we do to strengthen the neural connections to both new and old memories?

What can we do to improve our memory overall?

What can we do to clean out the cobwebs?

What can we do to gain clarity?

What can we do to clear out old obsolete thoughts that cloud our mind?

What can we do to make decisions effectively?

What can we do to make our brain stronger and more resilient?

Information Conquers Fear! (Part 2)

In a World Gone Nuts! Fear-Mongers Caught in the Backlash!

Good Lessons in Observation

Strangeness is a state of life. You are strange to everyone around you because you are not them they are not you. You are individual with individual thoughts. You may think about things the same way, but, there will be differences. Observation can be a great teacher.

Let’s look back about 10-20 years ago. Think of how the relationships between countries were. Where the stresses were. Even though you may not have thought you were really happy back then, you may find that you were allot happier than you are right now. What stresses have changed? What realities are you buying into? Has the Evening NEWS replaced the Disney Channel? Is the media dictating the way you feel in life? Are the politicians out of control?

There has been an emergence take place – the FEAR-MONGERS have arrived! And they are strong! Because they spin their tales of Fear and Woe to the masses. Mob Psychology is the way that our societies are moved today. Mob psychology relies that the masses are more powerful than the individual. That any individual opposing the mob will simply be ‘run over’. That joining the mob is much easier than defying it.

Who are the Fear Mongers, and what are they doing. Sometimes it’s easier to tell who the enemy is to follow the path of destruction left in their wake. Let’s take a moment to reverse engineer from what is happening today to the past. Today we are experiencing a Global Economic Crisis. Why? Everybody was doing what they were supposed to be doing. The banks were doing their job, the corporations were doing there job, the workers were doing their job,… or so it appeared.

The Fear Mongers Mistake

The banks have been experiencing a tension not felt before so their reaction to it was wrong. They didn’t understand the simple dynamics of ‘FEAR’. Fear, once it takes hold, causes paralysis of the mind. When you experience this paralysis of the mind, it translates into everything you do. You believe you are still doing all the things you have always done, but it’s an illusion. Your personal system starts breaking down – Depression sets in.

Mob Mentality Rules – Like a Well-oiled Machine

Take this and multiply it by the mob mentality. If the mob has been persuaded to be full of fear, the mob freezes up, the mob is paralyzed, but the mob still believes that everything is just as it always is. But that is the mobs illusion. Because the mob is holding that illusion in place that everything is just fine, the controllers of the mob look over the mob and say to themselves that, sure there are some problems, but the mob is fine. The mob’s illusion is passed onto the controllers.

Cataclysmic Failure of the Machine

Then finally, the straw that breaks the camels back. The whole system collapses because it has never happened this way before. But, the controllers are in charge of directing the mob. How could they let that happen? The banks were caught completely off guard, not because they didn’t know, it’s because the bank needed a completely different solution. The further down the track the banks went, the deeper into the abyss they went. Some of the biggest have toppled like a house of cards.

And again, the cry goes out – But the controllers were in charge of the masses. How could they let this happen?

The Next step is to recognize what mechanism has been used to move or control the masses lately. Mostly FEAR. But Fear Paralyzes. Don’t the controllers know that? From the Fear Mongering Controllers point of view, it was working perfectly, because the mob had become so placid and easy to control!

Fear Mongers Take the Mob for Granted

The mentality of the masses had become a ‘what do you want me to do, boss?’ attitude, and fearful of saying anything that might get them in trouble with the controllers. Independent thinking is the elusive element in the masses that keeps the mob from derailing itself. It tends to be a self-righting feature. But when people are mentally paralyzed by fear to the point that they are always asking direction and having a ‘save us from ourselves – Oh Powerful One!’ attitude, that’s when the system is doomed to fail.

The Fear Mongers – Who are they?

So what embodies the Oh So Powerful Fear Mongering Controllers? By now it should be obvious – Government, Banks, the Oil Industry, and of course, the Media. The Media is there because they are the liaison between the other 3 and the public, and BAD News Sells! And Really Bad News Sells even better! The Oil industry played their part only recently, but the Governments and the banks have been doing it as a matter of ongoing business.

When politicians draw people to them with the banner that they will save you from the things you fear, take a step back and think twice. Unfortunately, as a major election looms, the war cry is, “I’ll save you better than the other guy!” How ironic!

Fear, as a Tool, Bites the Hand That Feeds it!

The true irony of this story is that by Fear Mongers controlling people by inducing fear, eventually the Fear becomes paralysis to the point that the Fear Mongers have completely defeated the purpose they set out to accomplish. Their short-sightedness has cost them dearly. Now as they continue to promulgate more Fear, the mob will eventually turn on them. (There are undercurrents and rumors already that this is happening.)

What can I do?

Now, what do YOU plan to do about it? There are many things you CAN do. But there is definitely something that you, and everyone else, Should Do (in my opinion) – Learn Mental Photography! Learn how to ZOX! How can you contemplate being able to think for yourself when you have nothing but ‘Junk’ information to start with? Mental Photography gives you the ability to cover allot of ground FAST!

Whether you think you have bought into ‘how things are’ or deny it, it doesn’t matter. Because the actions of the masses are overriding good intelligent decision making. You will still be affected by others. On a personal level, YOU could be forming your strategies for YOUR future. Are you going to let everyone else dictate YOUR future? Use this time wisely, and you will be much better for it! Get clear REAL information that you can use to base your decisions on.

In Part 1 I discussed how you can use Mental Photography to diminish fear when dealing with poisonous critters. Well there other vile poisonous critters out there, but these critters affect your wealth, your convenience, your freedoms, and many other things. You can either be ‘in the know’ with your level of clear information to guide you, or you are a ‘mushroom’ – you will be in the dark, and fed Sh*t.

Learn to use your brain, strengthen your mind, and gain your cognitive abilities you were born with. It is your Divine inheritance. Mental Photography (ZOX) is the key to accessing these for yourself.

Information Conquers Fear! (Part 1)

Applying Mental Photography &

a lesson on the Australian King Brown Snake

No Teacher Like Experience

Mind To Mind – The Brain Accelerator is designed for you to learn from. In this scenario, I get to share an experience with you. This is the first part of a series of articles about Conquering your Fears. Brain Management has an extraordinary device called Mental Photography. It gives you availability to vast amounts of all types of information – as well as other things.

I want to share a personal experience with you. Whenever I watched nature shows on TV (yes, I do watch a bit of TV – but selectively), quite often I would come across a show featuring the denizens of Australia. In America, we get the slant that Australia is very hostile with regards to the wildlife. There are sooo many deadly things!

Australia is Dangerous

The Number 1 and Number 2 deadliest snakes in the world reside in Australia. Australia has 30 venomous snakes. The number 1 snake is the Inland Taipan. Luckily it is not around where I am. I hear it is up to 3 meters long and aggressive. The number 2 snake is the King Brown and still somewhat aggressive. Other deadly denizens include the Number 1 most poisonous spider, the Sydney Funnelweb. (Always shake your boots and gloves out before putting them on.) And of course there are things like crocodiles that eat people. This is all before you get into the oceans and go for a swim or a dive.

Because of this type of publicity, thrill seekers go to Australia to search them out for the adrenaline rush. Others, like me developed a sense of paranoia. Some fear can be healthy. Too much fear can be Paralyzing!

Take Control of Your Fear

Here is where the fun begins. I am a Mental Photographer! Also known as a ZOXer. I know that I can assimilate vast amounts of clear technical and defined information in a very short amount of time. I march myself down to the local library, known to be a good source of unbiased information, pick up a bunch of books on poisonous snakes and spiders of Australia. I Mentally Photograph all of these books in 30-45 minutes.

So in 30-45 minutes, I have taken my ‘fear’ at about 8.5 on a scale of 1 – 10 and lessened them down to a ‘healthy respect’ level of about 3. What has changed? I have gone from fearful to healthy respect in less than 1 hour. The ONLY thing I have done is gained specific information about what I feared. And I found out HEAPS of other great information at the same time!

Where I live now in Australia, we do have the King Brown snake, and yes, you do see them, and yes they are excessively deadly. I have heard that single drop of its’ venom could kill several adult humans, unless they receive immediate medical attention. I found that while allot of snakes are rather pretty to look at, the King Brown, is very plain in real life. It quite often just looks like a stick lying there. You only see it when it decides to move. The point that I found most interesting is the inside of the mouth. It is pitch black!

Dangerous and Deadly

By the way, if you come upon one and it is within striking distance, don’t move! Not out of paralysis, but out of choice. There vision is not that good. You, a human, are not their preferred source of food. So your smell is not going to entice them to bite you. But they do react to movement and vibrations. They see you as a shadowy figure. If you stand still, it will most likely think you are just another tree. Hope it doesn’t decide it wants to climb a tree at that moment. You may be standing there a while. It usually prefers to stay on the ground.

It’s also a good idea, when you are going for a walk out in the bush, to wear pants such as jeans and leather boots. They don’t need to be heavy duty. The venom fangs of the King Brown are small, and their position in the mouth does not allow for a deep penetrating bite. So, things like good walking shoes and thicker pants usually prevent the strike from getting to your skin.

You are probably asking, why are you telling me all about the King Brown Snake? What I am showing you is how much extra information I picked up, and I picked up more than this too, by using Mental Photography over reading. Mental Photography gives me so much information in so little time! That is why it is effective. If I wanted to, I could go on for an hour or so, just on 1 or 2 snakes.

Where can you learn Mental Photography?

No matter which level of training you attend; ZOX Pro, Brain Management Home Study, Brain Management Seminar, or eBrain Management Executive Seminar, the Mental Photography is a core component to the teachings. Think of it as a ‘Decoder’ program. It enables your brain and mind to strengthen and accelerate to make the functions of your brain available to you. Functions you were born with, never lose, but usually never USE.

This article is a precursor for part 2. Part 2 of this series is very important for you to navigate the world we live in right now. I will get you started by giving you some good information, but it’s up to you to do the rest.

Here’s to your Brain Power,

Dyslexia, ADD and ADHD,… Panacea to Success?

One comment

Dyslexia, ADD and ADHD,… Panacea to Success?

Quotes and comments are from an Article published at:
http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/webwatch/2008/08/fish_out_of_water.html

Title: From A.D.H.D. to 8 Gold Medals

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Deborah Phelps, middle school principal and mother of Michael Phelps, the most medaled Olympian in history, remembers how her son’s elementary school teacher once told her, “Your son will never be able to focus on anything.”… When Michael was in 5th grade, his mother and family doctor discussed whether Michael might have A.D.H.D.…Deborah Phelps watched her son, who couldn’t sit still at school, wait patiently for hours at a meet to swim a five-minute race. At 11, Michael was off Ritalin by his own choice and his coach, Bob Bowman, was already predicting greatness….Today, the Phelps name is an adjective, as in “phelpsian,” meaning “dominating in competition.” A gift, most would agree, that requires laser-like focus.

My Comment: As a  Seminar Instructor and teaching Mental Photography, I see many people that have ADD, ADHD, and Dyslexia. I think very highly when a person like Michael Phelps can learn to overcome this so-called deficit, and turn it into an incredible attribute.

A couple re-occurring themes that do seem to accompany ADD, ADHD, and Dyslexia is the ability for that person to have incredible ‘focus‘ on an objective, and they also tend to find school very boring. Many considerations to qualitatively monitor the environment where these individuals co-exist with everyone else should be a factor in any diagnosis.

Further Discussion: 1 out 4 people have dyslexia. There are 7 different types of dyslexia. A dyslexic person can experience more than one type of dyslexia. This in turn complicates the diagnosis.

Since more than 50% of school students can be taught to read, the education system calls this a victory.
What if in that same school system, you score 50% on a test. That would most likely be graded as a failure. Why the change of heart? That approach sounds a bit hypocritical.

ADD and ADHD usually start from an observation, described as unruliness, disruptive behavior, disobedient, lack of concentration and initiative (initiative is sometimes the ideal of the teacher, or what the teacher would like to see.), and so on. The point being that many of these conditions are a qualitative observation, and not necessarily based on a set of parameters that can be gauged.

Environment plays a big part in what we react to and how we react. Environment also plays a
considerable, mostly unconsidered, part of the diagnosis. How can a Doctor that is going to prescribe
drugs for a specific condition, such as ADD, do such an act without so much as to have visited the school or conducted an on site study, relying on input from persons that may, without intention, be biased.

“Doctors are too important to people who are really sick,…

to spend their time doing things like that!”

Other parameters that should be accounted for is diet, or in some cases, lack thereof, medications, drugs, and even the potential misdiagnosis that the student is not ADD at all. What if the student is Dyslexic?

Let me paint a picture for you. You are a student that cannot read. You are criticized, put down, stepped upon by the system. Maybe you are put into the ‘SLOW’ class. This is “Death of a thousand cuts” to a
students self-esteem. How would YOU, as a student, react? Rebelliously? Distracted? These students not only know they have trouble learning, it’s been ground into them by their piers and teachers – Like rubbing broken glass into an open wound.

If they show rebellion or distraction,

doesn’t it look allot like ADD or ADHD? IT SURE DOES!!!

~90% of people diagnosed with ADD or ADHD also mysteriously have Dyslexia.

Are you thinking something is wrong here yet? Many people would agree with me by now, there is!
What if there was a way that people could bypass Dyslexia? Would that be worthwhile? That may actually
get teachers out of the 50% victory to a passing grade, maybe even a ‘B’. There are always going to be
students that have other learning problems outside of the situations covered here.

The natural device that bypasses Dyslexia is

Mental Photography!


Kens Comment Re. My Comment:

Shannon,

Thank you for pointing out that there are many who question that ADHD is a deficit at all, but instead an attribute in the right context. I also appreciate your suggestion that the environment that a child is in may contribute to the diagnosis. I have a nephew with severe Dyslexia who also happens to have graduated near the top of his high school class. Like many people with Dyslexia he has some amazing compensatory strengths that allow him to learn well. If he were expected to do the same things as most other students, particularly listening and taking notes at the same time, school would be utterly frustrating for him. The more we study human behavior the more clear it becomes that each human, like each snowflake or grain of sand, is a unique invidual made of many strengths. Our job is as educators is to find and match those strengths with the proper learning environment. Where is a good source for information about mental photography?


My comment Re. Ken’s Comment:

Thank you for your further interest. From my observations and thinking outside the square a bit, I have seen many examples of people that experience so-called deficits that move their lives in phenomenal ways. Some of the people had subtle things happen within their life, but others had rather dynamic changes in the ways that they approached and accomplished things. This was the result of them experiencing the world in a different way than what is classically referred to as normal.

There are many overlapping circumstances between Dyslexia and ADD. In some cases, professional
diagnosticians may not be able to tell the two apart. That can be quite a problem, since the treatments are considerably different. My clients, by using Mental Photography, can bypass the function of Dyslexia. To them, it’s a Godsend, and by giving them a heightened degree of focus, so they can turn down the internal chatter of ADD, is added benefit.

Dyslexia is a ‘next step’ in the evolution of humans.

I have come to the conclusion that Dyslexia is a normal function that exacerbates the human species — we think we are not immune to evolution. Dyslexia is a ‘next step’ in the evolution of humans. The reason for such an outrageous statement is that Mental Photography of information occurs at very high rates of speed. Greater than 25,000 words per minute, but can far exceed those numbers. Dyslexia gives the person problems when ‘reading’ at slow rates, because the dyslexic function deforms (corrupts) the information. Since Mental Photography takes ‘pictures’ of whole pages, the information on the page is not corrupted. Ergo, Dyslexics are automatically wired up to Mentally Photograph.

Dyslexics are naturally born to mentally function at a higher rate of speed. That’s why many dyslexics find relief with Mental Photography over reading, or speed-reading.

Unfortunately, pride prevailed…

The following entries that appeared after this degraded the entire issue of what Michael Phelps
accomplished, to a third-grader’s cat fight about Ritulin and other drugs. So much for the open-minded
analytical adult approach to logically form opinions.

What I find funny is that the one that was yelling the loudest mentioned that her daughter was found to be suffering from a ‘un-named’ learning disorder that stopped her ability to read… Sounds like Dyslexia to me…

Again, it is my aim to present to you provocative content to stimulate your mind. Your brain is magical in it’s complexity. A simple intended pointing movement of your finger may activate most regions of your brain into action.

And wash that finger,… You don’t know where its been!

Ha Ha!

I hope that I have been able to not only commend the accomplishments of the World’s Greatest Swimmer, but also point out that things are not always as they appear. Even the astute observer must be on their toes. Good Luck to Michael, and Good Luck to you in your future endeavors. Now you may have another critical piece of information to make your decisions upon.

Great Things Happen!
