Memory Techniques act associatively as objectively they would make no sense it is this metaphorically experiencing reality which makes it easy to conceptualize and as per this website remember “information” .
What is information? Using language data I construct this post . I’m using Dragon speech technology there is a filter between what I’m trying to convey and what is perceived , >who is more correct the perceiver or creator when someone says “you just don’t get it” does that have any equitable “reality” value or in less words (always better) does it mean anything?
Even in making this post there have been hesitations , and grammatical queries such as does that make sense in English?
Aldous Huxley said the mind was a limiting valve, which means we perceive what we want to or what we want being shaped by our desire to stay alive we perceive what will keep us alive. What are we keeping alive ? Fear of Ego death is the fear that keeps us perceiving narrowly, it keeps us fighting over petty perceptions because death to the tribe, death in our capacity to seem, means death for us as we are, which brings me to our dualistic nature of seeming and being.
Our natural memories are merely snapshots of being or seeming we make a statement and our minds are eager to confirm or deny the statement as it relates to our identity (I see ego and identity as interchangeable although in other circumstances there may be a distinction) we are constantly inundated with informative memories it is like we have a24 7 news program in our minds revealing memories as it suits our “internal” (political) purposes.
it’s our emotional depth and personal values which involves the world that creates the perceptions and concepts that can become memory . What exists persists and what exists is remembered.
But it sounds like you mean that you can visualize easily by opening your eyes and noting the wealth of imagery you can use to compare against the images you wish to see in your mind.
Does any forum member know of blind persons using memory strategies?
After reading Metivier’s comment it occurred to me that:
A great deal of knowledge is taught using visual media (e.g. Written word, Pictures, Tables, etc).
Although I learnt of mnemonic strategies using my sense of sight, it shouldn’t be impossible to teach a blind person the same using braille.
In fact, the more I think about it the “journey method” should have an enormous amount of detail for a blind person who obviously must heavily rely on touch, smell, and hearing.
Sorry, due to a bug, the blog post text didn’t get imported correctly during the upgrade. I’ve just migrated this one in manually, so you should be able to see it now.
@SimpleGuy: if you haven’t seen it yet, there is a thread about that here:
