Un-Stupiding Myself - a Memory Training Journal

@LynneKelly
Dr. Kelly, I won’t lie to you. I’m having a bit of trouble. Been studying Memory Craft for a few months. Trying to understand everything. I got most of it, and I’m experimenting, combining things and what not. But… I… think I’m still missing something. Now, I’m fairly dull and possibly a bit autistic, so I might just be too stupid to ever properly wrap my head around the stuff. But I won’t give up. Now, I’m gonna ask some questions, amd whether or mot they even make sense to ask in the first place is uncertain. You might be able answer them though, so I’m just gonna leave them here just in case:

Is possible to turn the core concepts of a book into mythology? I understand memory method and facts and lists, but like, a book has much ramblier structure and lots of fluff, compared to like, a dictionary. How do you, like… convert… that…???

What exactly are rapscallions, and how exactly do they differ from your ancestors? How do you USE them? I’m still confused on that even after reading the chapters.

How do you implement singing in the stuff? And dance? I think my imagination probably just really sucks. But I have trouble coming up with anything memorable or good in regards to those.

Perhaps most importantly: how does layering work in a mind palace/songline? You’ve got your initial associations for each bird- now what? How do you remember that it was first discovered in blah and has ex amount of blah color on the blah, or that its beak is usually this long, or whatever?

I hope you’ll forgive my ignorance and stupidity. And God bless you for the work you do and have done.
