What is memory?

I constantly have people asking me about memory.

Forgetting…

Why do I forget things? Why do I forget what I just read?

Better Memory

How can I make my memory better?

Photographic Memory

Memory Discussion

What happens if you lose your memories? It often happens to people that are elderly. It also happens to people at any age and for many different reasons. Your brain is highly complex and makes trillions of connections each day. It is easy to see how something so complex could easily be derailed.

The best solution are activities that can prevent a complete collapse if things should take a turn for the worse. You can exercise your brain to be stronger. It has been scientifically proven that when you exercise and stress your brain past the threshold of neural plasticity, it triggers your brain to immediately respond by building new pathways, synapse, neurons, and memory. Building this within your brain makes it resilient; resistant to memory loss, Alzheimer’s Disease, and dementia.

I recently was interviewed on the topic of “Taking Control of Your Memory”. If you are interested at all in memory, you should listen to this interview. I cover a lot of topics around memory in the Interview. Even if you do not hear what you need at the start, keep listening. The essential information you need could be covered next. This interview could be the most important thing you have ever heard.

Shannon Panzo Interview – Understanding Memory

Important Points within Interview…

About the Hippocampus…

The short-term memory revolves around a particular structure within the brain is called the hippocampus.

The hippocampus is actually part of the limbic system, a primitive part of the brain; and if you ever want to increase your ability to memorize things, on a conscious level, the hippocampus is stimulated.

The function of the hippocampus is to forget; not to remember. What the hippocampus thinks is not important, it just forgets it. Only ~5 percent of the initial memory is passed over to the long term memory.

There are ways to bypass the hippocampus and actually take in information driving it straight home to the long-term memory where you never forget it; mainly by using the photographic memory you are born with.

Human Memory…

Aboriginal cultures quite often demonstrate they have extensive memory because they have entrained the memories. Because there is no written language they are able to recite the songs of the stories exactly the same way each time for thousands of years. Their natural memory is stronger than the average human that relies on the written language and technical devices that store information. People that tend to take a lot of pictures of their self, where they are, and what they are doing and with whom, often demonstrate incredibly poor memory.

Reading vs. photographic memory

When you learn to read, you are instructed to close off your access to the photographic memory. The two, reading and your photographic memory, are actually in opposition to each other and by doing so you take away something very important to your development.

Information is the key asset to any decision making process. If you have good information your decision-making process is more successful. If you don’t have good information your decision-making process will give you poor output, and it will not be reliable. This is why some people make really great decisions and some people don’t, simply based on the quality of information. Information is treated equally in the brain. It’s the importance at which we bestow upon information as to how our brain treats it.

The Myth about Reading…

The establishment has been lying to everyone about reading, from the start. The lie is very low key. When you are first taught to read, it starts. As a child, you do not have a point of reference to this as non-truth, so you don’t even understand the nature of the lie, “in order to get the information you must read every word verbatim”. As a child, you do not have information to denounce it as a lie, so you accept it through acquiescence. It becomes part of your reality.

Restoring your photographic memory…

As you walk through stores, your photographic memory is being stimulated and exercised. Every store you go into has things setting on the counter and shelves for you to buy. The packaging that those things come in are laden with subliminal advertising. The subliminal advertising actually utilizes your photographic memory to program you to buy stuff. But it also prepares your mind to take over the strengthened photographic memory to use for your own benefit. The method that gives control of your photographic memory back to you is Mental Photography.

After learning Mental Photography with our methods, subliminal advertising simply bounces off. You regain your ability to decide what you choose to buy, instead what others are choosing you to buy. Have you ever bought something you do not want, need, or have a use for? That is result of subliminal advertising. You can change it.

Learning in the Alpha State of Consciousness…

If a child is daydreaming, staring out the window of the classroom while the teacher is talking about whatever the topic is of the day, the child will typically learn so much more than the average person in the class because they’re already in the state of alpha – as they’re looking out the window daydreaming.

Photographic Memory — Keys to Success

Photographic Memory and Genius…

photographic memory

Photographic Memory is also known as “Eidetic Memory.”

So just what IS photographic memory? It’s a secret you’ve had since before you were born! If you still don’t understand, look to your children.  They will show you the way.

The infant brain develops even in the womb. Experts say you should read to your children as soon as they are born for quality stimulation of their natural learning abilities. As a child ages through that first crucial year of life, they are learning how to learn. The more stimulation – the more learning capacity the child will have.

Some people with photographic memory retain their photographic memory into adulthood. If you aren’t one of those people, why not? The answer will SHOCK you.  Are you ready?

Learning Begets Learning

One word. Reading. You see, we never lose our photographic memory. But many of us lose the ability to USE it, or more accurately, we lose access to it. You learned amazing things as a small child – languages, social skills, etc.

THEN, you went to school to learn a superior way to learn – or so we’re told.  Statistics show that once we enter school and become entrenched in the rote-memory system of learning; learning slows from that point on.

Your Inner Child Genius

The truth is, you were force fed learning to read, or you were ostracized. Some of those renegades who endured being ostracized are the same ones who have retained their photographic memories as adults.

Reading is  a brain function that encourages tunnel vision, which is directly opposed to your natural ability to access and use your photographic memory.

But with Mental Photography you can learn how to access your photographic memory and how to develop a photographic memory fast, and regain the genius you had as a child. By exercising your brain this way, you may see other things start to happen – and you don’t have to give up reading, either!

Your Future Starts NOW!

Define the Universe and Spirituality…

From humble beginnings…

Aage Nost…

Born a farm-boy in Norway, the beginnings of a #Spiritual life full of passionate learning and personal advancement began when he suddenly gained the responsibility of managing the family farm. Going forth to graduate college in Agricultural and Forestry Management, driving tanks in the military, learning several languages fluently, and gaining direction in Metaphysics and Spiritual disciplines; all before the age of 25.

His pursuit of knowledge never waned as he began commercial pilots training in the USA, he gained his Flight Instructor accreditations then opened his own flight school, and served as the Accident Prevention Counselor for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). After conquering that mountain, his pursuits went in a different direction in the fields of mind development and Spirituality, and the advancements that elevate humanity.

He saw the miscarriage of justice duping a society of non-intellectuals and sought to make a stand against ‘the machine’; a machine using mob psychology against the ‘great unwashed’ to meet the ends of the nameless, faceless people running the show. His contributions and challenges in helping those less fortunate are noteworthy.

His pursuit of uncovering the truth, from Medical and Government organizations was relentless, as he used the media as his weapon of choice in his campaign of honesty. He sought to educate the masses on subjects such as Constitutional Law and what true freedom is, as well as Paranormal and Spiritual issues.

His first love is always at the forefront of all of his endeavors; to learn as much as he can in every possible area of life.

“The hidden and buried secrets are uncovered and brought into the light”

You must be wondering why I am telling you all this information about 1 person; a person that makes a difference… After a long hiatus, and much meditation, he felt it was necessary for some of the most poignant questions in life be answered. He recently published a book you will find most intriguing and enlightening.

“Spiritual Science, Higher Conscious Thinking And How To Access The Universal Consciousness”

 – Aage NosteAage Nost - Spiritual Universe

Knowledge Seekers Seek the Universe…

This book is easy and fun to read. But do not be fooled. There are depths to this information that only the initiated can fathom. I hope you have been keeping your ZOXing up to date, as you will need your proficiency to plumb the depths of what is presented here. ZOXing can easily be used to know the truth. But ZOXing these truths will give you a new appreciation for what our Universe holds for each and every one of us.

Mental Photography and Brain Management

If you lived to 500 years old… You need Brain Management and Mental Photography

From Mind To Mind (MINDtoMIND.com), Thank you for taking time to read this important information. This article reveals one of the the greatest assets you can ever obtain for yourself. It is important that you not ignore how much impact it would have on your life.

If you lived to 500 years old,…
you might stand a chance to read all the articles on

#Wikipedia, or a quarter of the books on

Amazon.com

Unfortunately we do not live to 500, and would need a fortune to buy half of the books on Amazon.com, so how about a solution that fits into one lifetime and you can use within a few days to gather all the #knowledge you could ever desire!

At this moment, there are over 5 million articles on Wikipedia or over 10 Billion words of #information and knowledge. There’s an even bigger number of books (and another million published each year!) that you can buy on Amazon.com and that’s well over 100 Billion words of information. An average reader can get through 250 words per minute.

Don’t worry — we’re counting how fast you read right now!

So an average reader would take around 371 years to read Wikipedia if it were his or her full time job. By now, I am sure you are getting the idea that to read, and more importantly #learn that amount of information is impossible.

NOT SO!!! Not only is it possible, but it has been done for the last 30 years and you didn’t even know about it.

We’ve all heard that we only use up to 2% of our brain’s potential – that’s the “smart” people like you and I. We’ve also heard that as kids, we absorb and learn such vast amounts of information it’s almost impossible to imagine as adults. We learn #walking, talking, eating, #drinking, running, playing, social skills, language, etc etc etc! The question is – why can’t we do this as adults.

The answer is – WE CAN – we just aren’t taught to.

Supercharge Your Brain with Mental Photography!

Supercharge Your Brain with Mental Photography!

Mental Photography is the primary vehicle that expediently creates a very strong rapport between the conscious and the subconscious.

It opens many doors to our vast potential by building these bridges. As a learning tool, it allows people to assimilate information at 100 times
the average #ReadingSpeed with 100% retention for life. But, this is not limited to learning. More importantly, it opens a pathway to a part of the brain that has fantastic abilities. This part of the brain acts as a conduit to universal energies. Brain Management (previously called Subliminal Dynamics in the USA) gives you the tools to take control of your life like never before.

Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla

Everybody knows that #AlbertEinstein, #SirIsaacNewton, #ThomasEdison and #NikolaTesla used these techniques without even knowing about them. Don’t YOU want to possess skills like #Einstein!?

Information Age – the Mental Revolution

As the #InformationAge is fully realized by the information capacities of newest computers, the next step must be the “Mental Revolution”. To simply “keep up” is not good enough. Only by getting back to assimilating information as a small child would, can we ever hope to hold our own in today’s fast paced market. By achieving this with the Brain Management system, we can take a sufficient chunk out of the stress we endure. By strengthening and toning the #brain in this natural way, we can create a better, healthier, and happier life.
Everyone was born with this ability to absorb huge amounts of #information and #knowledge switched on. You used it for the first 5 years of your life. And then,… something terrible happens! You go to school…
Does school give us a Superior way to learn?

” Reading” is taught in opposition to Mental Photography.
When you were taught to read, this ability was switched off. Reading does not work for everyone because it is NOT a natural ability. Reading uses a ‘slow, inefficient’ part of the brain. Mental Photography IS natural – it uses the ‘whole’ brain.

The best news of all is that YOU never lose it! We have been teaching Mental Photography since 1975, when Richard Welch first found it.
#RichardWelch is the “Father of Mental Photography”

Mental Photography vs. Photoreading
Some of you may ask how is this different to “Photoreading”? There are many answers to this question, but the best is probably summed up by #NASA itself, who performed a study on #Photoreading which you can read for yourself at

In January of 2000, Dr. Danielle S. McNamara submitted a preliminary report to the NASA Ames Research Center on photoreading. To conclude the study, McNamara noted that, “In terms of words per minute (wpm) spent reading, there was no difference between normal reading (M = 114 wpm) and PhotoReading (M=112 wpm). So why is it that so many people tout photoreading?” In her conclusion, McNamara states that, “One aspect of the PhotoReading technique is that it leaves the reader with a false sense of confidence.” (Wikipedia, 2008)

The Brain Management course is much more than reading or speed-reading – it’s a #holistic approach to increasing the usage of your wonderful brain. Because Richard Welch’s technology was the first, and the only original, it has stood the test of 30+ years and no such discredit, as above, exist.

Mental Photography itself enhances the experience of reading. The average reading speed is 250 words per minute (wpm). Mental Photography begins at 25,000 wpm. During the training you are tested on recall at 52,000 wpm. Proficient Mental Photographers show up to 600,000 words per minute with 90% recall (just turning pages). The impact of Mental Photography is 100 times reading something. So if you are an avid reader, it will definitely enhance your experience of reading after you Mentally Photograph the book first. You have barely scratched the surface of what your brain is capable of doing!

Mental Photography exercises your Brain

And even more powerful is the way that Mental Photography exercises the brain! The benefits start from:

· Elevated Whole Brain Activity

· Strengthens neural pathways

· Hemispheric Balancing

· Heightened communication between the conscious and the subconscious

· Grow more memory (Dendrites)

· Quicker and clearer thinking

But let’s talk about TANGIBLE benefits, something you can use to your benefit today:

· Business owners and Entrepreneurs gain important skills in decision making, problem solving, #timemanagement, and #stressmanagement

· Learn English, Mandarin, French – ANY language faster than you ever thought possible

· Learn Math, Science, Chemistry or Biology — in fact, any subject whatsoever in record time

· Mentally Photograph all your text books – whether you’re at school, college or post-graduate course

· Prepare for high school exams, or for Medical Doctor exams in hours instead of weeks

· And many more limitless opportunities to expand your mind and your knowledge

· Solve Complex Problems and Questions by allowing your brain to naturally find solutions through your natural neural networks

· Improve your driving with 360 degree perception

· And many more

This information has been presented over the last 30 years in a live seminar. Of course you can continue reading and learning the way humanity has done so for the last 6,000 years or so. If you think that’s the most efficient way, no problem. We’ll leave you to it.

Humanity first learned to ‘read’ about 6000 years ago – first for stock keeping (before this they would use devices like knots on a rope), then for other uses.

That doesn’t make it efficient.

Due to its very nature, reading actually slows down the minds capabilities. By the way, this page has 1,202 words and it has taken you over 4 minutes to read it.

Information Overload – how to cope with it…

Did you know that Mental Photography is “light speed” reading and is

faster than two pages per second with 100% retention?

For the nearest Brain Management Seminar to you, please contact us at brainy@ebrain.com.au We look forward to hearing from you.

Your BRAIN is the most personal thing you possess.

YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE IN CHARGE OF IT !!!

From Mind To Mind (MINDtoMIND.com), Thank you for taking time to read this important information. Mental Photography is one of the the greatest assets you can ever obtain for yourself. It is important that you not ignore how much impact it would have on your life. Mental Photography is the natural basis of ALL learning!

Do you Know Every Problem has a Solution

More than One Way to Skin a Cat: Adventures in Creative Thinking

People have Problems…

How many times have you caught yourself saying that there could be no other solution to a problem – and that that #problem leads to a dead end? How many times have you felt stumped knowing that the problem laying before you is one you cannot solve. No leads.  No options.  No #solution.

No Solution in Sight

Does it feel like you had exhausted all possible options and yet are still before the mountain – large, unconquerable, and impregnable? When encountering such enormous problems, you may feel like you’re hammering against a steel mountain. The pressure of having to solve such a problem may be overwhelming.

But rejoice! There might be some hope yet!

Creative Problem Solving

With some creative problem solving techniques you may be able to look at your problem in a different light. And that light might just be the end of the tunnel that leads to possible solutions.

First of all, in the light of creative problem solving, you must be open-minded to the fact that there may be more than just one solution to the problem. And, you must be open to the fact that there may be solutions to problems you thought were unsolvable.

Now, with this optimistic mindset, we can try to be a little bit more creative for solutions.

Solving Problems Consciously…

So that you can learn though this experience, I will first point out what most people will do to solve a problem whenever you are working only from the #conscious side. I want to point out just how laborious and consuming this is. It takes on a life of its own.

Qualify Your Problem

First, maybe the reason we cannot solve our problems is that we have not really taken a hard look at what the problem is. Here, in a conscious way, understanding the problem and its workings is integral for solving the problem. This is a typical strategy most people use. If you know how it works, what the problem is, then you have a better foundation towards solving the problem.

Not yet making a simple statement of what problem is, identify the participating entities and what their relationships with one another are. Take note of the things you stand to gain any stand to lose from the current problem. Your potential gain or loss is a point of stress. It tends to block you from seeing the obvious. Keeping that in mind, you can develop a simple statement of what the problem is.

Take Notes

Take note of all of the constraints, and assumptions; including your stress you have. Qualify which assumptions are valid, and which assumptions need to be addressed.

Solve your Problem in Layers

When working from your every-day conscious state of mind, you would likely choose to solve the problem by parts. Solve it going from general view towards the more detailed parts of the problem. This is called the top-down approach. Write down the question, and then come up with a one-sentence solution to that from the question. Your solution should be a general statement of what will solve the problem. From there you can develop the solution further, and increase its complexity little by little.

Creative and Analytical Solution…

Before I reveal this next part, I feel obligated to tell you something important. I am telling you about the conscious way of dealing with problems… But analytical and creative in this case are in opposition because they come from opposite sides of your brain. That in itself will cause a conflict and can directly influence and endanger the results of your efforts to reach a solution. Even though this is a step by step logical approach, you are in serious danger of things spiraling out of control.

Therefore… Although it helps to have critical thinking aboard as you solve a problem, you must also keep a creative, analytical voice at the back of your head. When someone comes up with a prospective solution, consciously think how you could make that solution work. Try to be creative. At the same time, look for chinks in the armor of that solution. There is a good chance you will find some. each one must be addressed as well.

Good Memory Pays Dividends…

It pays to remember that there may be more than just one solution being developed at one time; possibly by more than just yourself. Try to keep track of all the solutions and their developments. Remember, there may be more than just one solution to the problem.

If More than One Person involved…

Remember that old adage,” two heads are better than one for problems solution.” That one is truer than it sounds. Always be open to new ideas. You can only benefit from listening to all the ideas each person has. This is especially true when the person you’re talking to has had experience solving problems similar to yours.

You don’t have to be a hero to solve the problem. If you can organize collective thought on the subject, it would be much better.

Commitment to Solve the Problem

Be patient. As long as you persevere, there is always a chance that a solution will present itself. RIGHT!!! Hah! Actually, it more likely that your subconscious is what steps into the fray, even without your knowledge, to present a clear path to the solution. It usually happens overnight, when you have slept. But in most cases your conscious mind will be given the credit.

Creative Thinking Works…

Creative thinking exercises can also help you in your quest be a more creative problems solver.

Here is one example.

The next time you have a problem you want to solve (Yes, you actually must want to solve it.), before going to bed to sleep, think about the problem. Then tell yourself you will know the solution when you wake up. Eureka! When you wake up in the morning, there is the solution. This method is called “Sleeping on it.” Most everyone has done this before, because it works.

So, next time you see a problem you think you can not solve, think again. The solution might just be staring you right in the face. All it takes is just a little #CreativeThinking, some planning, and a whole lot of work.

The SECRET to Problem Solving…

I hope you got this far in this article. The method I described to you above is truly time consuming and labor intensive. Sure, it may look good on paper when the Boss asks you for a progress report. But, at the end of the day, what is most important? Satisfying the Boss’s attention to detail or solving the problem? Probably a little of both; with the end result of solving the problem, which makes you the Champion!

You can still do all the remedial work if needed. But when faced with a fast #ProblemSolving, put it to the real doer of your brain; your subconscious mind. It will give you results far faster than writing down the details in your report.
