REMEMBER

 

Embarrassing…  isn’t it?

Picture yourself in the company of many respected people in your line of work or profession. It can be a highly charged situation, with jousting and sabre-rattling. You must be at your best. You bump into someone important or want to introduce someone, just to find you have forgotten their name.

This is the typical stressful situation you are most likely to forget – when it is most important. When you know your memory is not as sharp as what it should be it raises the stress level. Your confidence plays a big part in allowing memories to traverse the canyon into the now. Likewise, if you are not confident, even the correct memory can fall into the abyss. Opportunity missed.

If you are not affected by this, then you probably know someone that is; a friend or family member, a colleague or co-worker, or perhaps a manager. Of course business managers are supposed to know all the people they come in contact with right? Only in a dream for most.

 

What does Your Memory mean to You?

Your memory and the ability to use it is a precious asset. Your memory contains the sum of all of the experiences you have had throughout life. If there is any one thing in life that defines a person, it is their memory. It has made them what they are, it shapes the way they react to events, and often shows the experience level a person achieves in life. Take every step possible to keep it functioning well. Without memories, a person becomes empty and separated, with feelings of loneliness and uselessness.

If you find you have difficulty remembering your children’s names, then you better take a firm grip on your reality and get some help fast. If it is nothing, then you have not lost anything in having it checked.

 

Memory Misplacement

This has become  such an issue for people, there are tons of memory courses on the market, that are positioned to salvage your dignity along with your memory. Many of these follow the “Peter Principle“, and will only take you to the highest level of incompetency.  It is likely that you would rather stay in a system that is unwieldy and difficult for you, than to find a different system that works for you. (The same thing happens when people are ‘readers’.)

Often we see demonstrators that make a living from grandstanding to promote a memory course. They will enchant us with how “they” can memorize names and occupations of 100 people in a couple of minutes, using a particular technique.  “Wow!” screams the audience, ” that is we want! …no more embarrassment!” Yes, there are courses that will train you how to do likewise. What is involved? Will it automatically be there for you at any time you need to use it in the future? Unless you continually refresh it, probably not. Is that type of training for you?

 

My Experience in the Brain Training Game…

I have reviewed far too many memory trainings than I wish to think about over the years. Perhaps I was looking to stumble over the “magic pill” romance that many are led to believe. I have never found any sign of that magic pill, unless you just happened to be wired up that way to start with. Granted, most are not.

Memory training is a critical part of what Brain Management is all about. Brain Management first deals with accessing the NATURAL Photographic Memory, then stimulating memory growth naturally as a by-product of exercising the brain in this fashion. I have been presenting Brain Management for many years, and have consistently heard from our clients our training should be marketed more for the memory enhancement you get from it.

IMPORTANT: There is one thing above all else to consider when discovering the best memory training for you. If it does not feel natural, then you will probably stop using it.

 

Memory Trainings

There are relatively 4 different types of memory training. (To keep things easy to understand, we are stopping at 4 styles, although more are available.) I have listed them in order to the frequency how often they are taught to the public:

Rote Memory – This is the method you learn in school. This is when you simply keep going over the same information time and again until you have memorised it. Consumes the most amount of time and effort. Efficient only for the specific information you have dealt with in this matter. Once this type of information is forced over into the long term memory, you feel like you learned it.

Taught – First

Efficiency – Low

Lasting Long Term Memory – Yes

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cup & Hook (associative) Method – This is the method you will usually see in action when the demonstrator is going around the room learning names. The basic premise is similar for this style – you will assign something that symbolises or represents certain characteristics around the specific thing you want to remember.  This is a good method and it is effective in most circumstances. It gives you a structure you can follow. If you stop using it for a period of time, you must go back to the beginning and start building all over again. It does not permanently build structure in the brain, at least not in the short term. Maybe those areas would improve over a great amount of time and continual practice.

Taught – Second

Efficiency – Varies with the amount of ongoing practice.  Loses effectiveness fast.

Lasting Long Term Memory – The efficiency of the method fades over time. But some memory may be picked getting through rote, from exposure.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mnemonics – This is a series of 9 different types of memory strategies. Once you learn all of them and how to properly use them, then you can use them in such ways:

 

  1. music or lyrics
  2. names (ROY G. BIV= Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet)
  3. words or expressions
  4. models and diagrams
  5. rhymes
  6. notes or note cards
  7. outlines
  8. images
  9. connections and spelling

 

Each type is different and can be applied differently.  To become good at all of them would be a considerable undertaking.  If a person is willing to put in the time to understanding and using them, it is quite a formidable package. To have a good understanding in all of them should come with a medal; for sheer determination.

Taught – Third

Efficiency – High, but comes at a price.  Best used for passing detailed testing, and remembering specific details.

Lasting Long Term Memory – similar – due to cross-exposure of information, memories are likely to last longer in this format, as they often have a connecting structure built around the concept or word, and building links to other associative memories.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mental Photography – Mental Photography works in a very different way. This method places memory as second to photographic memory.

Even though being very effective for memory building, Mental Photography uses and exercises another natural brain function first – the Photographic Memory. By stimulating the photographic memory (eidetic memory) and delivering information at high rates of speed that pushes the serviceability of the brain. Through neuroplasticity, the brain triggers production of more neurons, synapses, and dendrites. All of this action in the brain essentially adds or grows more memory. Once more memory and connections are available, then accessing memory for any purposes is much easier.

This building process does not happen overnight. There are billions of connections within the structure of the brain. This action creates more neurons that will be connected into the rest of the system to increase memory.

Since Mental Photography is usually used foremost for large volume information retention, it is a wonderful benefit that you are actually growing more usable memory as by-product  of exercising the brain in this way.

Taught – Forth

Efficiency – Excellent…

Information Retention >50,000 wpm or more

Memory gain – High to infinity.

More use  will stimulate further growth. No limitation known. Time spent creates results in many areas using 1 basic set of exercises. Daily use gives better and ongoing results.

Lasting Long Term Memory – Excellent – approximately 100% for life.

More than any other method, Brain Management (and ZOX Pro Training) uses Mental Photography at the core of its’ teaching. Mental Photography was invented by Richard Welch, PhD, my Mentor and colleague. I have worked directly with him since 1986.

If memory is important to you, and you want to make 2017 a Year to Remember, then you should consider your options as I have presented here. Brain Management, Mental Photography, and ZOX Pro Training have many more benefits than have been discussed in this article.

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.

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.
