POINTS TO GET CONCENTRATION POWER

                               

                                GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

                  HOW TO GET CONCENTRATION POWER

                               POINT  1 : GIVE TO THE THING THAT YOU WISH TO MEMORIZE AS GREAT A DEGREE OF CONCENTRATE ATTENTION AS POSSIBLE.

                            THE DEGREE OF CONCENTRATTED ATTENTION BESTOWED UPON THE OBJECT UNDER CONSIDERATION, DETERMINES THE STRENGTH , CLEARNESS AND DEPTH OF THE IMPRESSION RECEIVED AND STORED AWAY IN THE SUBCONSCIOUSNESS. THE CHARATER OF THESE STORED AWAY IMPRESSIONS DETERMINES THE DEGREE OF EASE IN REMEMBRANCE AND RECOLLECTION.

                            POINT 2 : CONSIDERING AN OBJECT TO BE MEMORIZED, ENDEAVOR TO OBTAIN THE IMPRESSIONS THROUGH AS MANY FACULTIES AND SENSES AS POSSIBLE.

                            AN IMPRESSION RECEIVED THROUGH BOTH SOUND AND SIGHT IS DOUBLY AS STRONG AS ONE RECEIVED THROUGH ONLY ONE OF THESE CHANNELS. YOU MAY REMEMBER A NAME, OR WORLD, EITHER BY HAVING SEEN IT IN WRITING OR PRINT, OR ELSE BY REASON OF HAVING HEARD IT, BUT IF YOU HAVE BOTH SEEN AND HEARD IT YOU HAVE A DOUBLE IMPRESSION, AND POSSESS TWO POSSIBLE WAYS OF REVIVING THE IMPRESSION. YOU ARE ABLE TO REMEMBER AN ORANGE BY REASON OF HAVING GREEN IT, SMELT IT, FELT IT AND TASTED IT, AND HAVING HEARD ITS NAME PRONOUNCED. ENDEAVOR TO KNOW A THING FROM AS MANY SENSE IMPRESSION AS POSSIBLE - USE THE EYE TO ASSIST EAR IMPRESSIONS, AND THE EAR TO ASSIST IN EYE IMPRESSIONS. SEE THE THING FROM AS MANY ANGLES AS POSSIBLE.

                            POINT 3: EXERCISING THE PARTICULAR FACULTY THROUGH WHICH THE WEAK IMPRESSIONS ARE RECEIVED MAY STRENGTHEN SENSE IMPRESSIONS.

                         YOU WILL FIND THAT EITHER YOUR EYE MEMORY IS BETTER THAN YOUR EAR MEMORY, OR VICE VERSA. THE REMEDY LIES IN EXERCISING THE WEAKER FACULTY, SO AS TO BRING IT UP TO THE STANDARD OF THE STRONGER. THE CHAPTERS OF EYE AND EAR TRAINING WILL HELP YOU ALONG THESE LINES. THE SAME RULE APPLIES TO THE SEVERAL ONES WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. THE ONLY WAY TO DEVELOP A SENSE OF FACULTY IS TO INTELLIGENTLY TRAIN, EXERCISE AND USE IT. USE, EXERCISE AND PRACTICE WILL WORK MIRACLES IN THIS DIRECTION.

                          POINT 4 : MAKE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION STRONG AND FROM ENOUGH TO SERVE AS A BASIS FOR SUBSEQUENT ONES.

                          GET INTO THE HABIT OF FACING A CLEAR, STRONG IMPRESSION OF A THING TO BE CONSIDERED, FROM THE FIRST. OTHERWISE YOU ARE TRYING TO BUILD UP A LARGE STRUCTURE UPON A POOR FOUNDATION. EACH TIME YOU REVIVE AN IMPRESSION YOU DEEPEN IT, BUT IFYOU HAVE ONLY A DIM IMPRESSION TO BEGIN WITH, THE DEEPENED IMPRESSION WILL NOT INCLUDE DETAILS OMITTED IN THE FIRST ONE. IT IS LIKE TAKING A GOOD SHARP NEGATIVE OF A PICTURE THAT YOU INTEND TO ENLARGE AFTERWARD. THE DETAILS LACKING IN THE SMALL PICTURE WILL NOT APPEAR IN THE ENLARGEMENT, BUT THOSE THAT DO APPEAR IN THE SMALL ONE, WILL BE ENLARGED WITH THE PICTURE.

                       POINT 5: REVIVE YOUR IMPRESSIONS FREQUENTLY AND THUS DEEPEN THEM.

                        YOU WILL KNOW MORE OF A PICTURE BY SEEING IT A FEW MINUTES EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK, THAN YOU WOULD BY SPENDING SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE IT AT ONE TIME. SO IT IS WITH THE MEMORY. BY RECALLING AN IMPRESSIONS A NUMBER OF A TIMES, YOU FIX IT INDELIBLY IN YOUR MIND IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT MAY BE READILY FOUND WHEN NEEDED. SUCH IMPRESSIONS ARE LIKE FOVORITE TOOLS THAT YOU NEED EVERY LITTLE WHILE - THEY ARE NOT APT TO BE MISLAID, AS ARE THOSE THAT ARE BUT SELDOM USED. USE YOUR IMAGINATION IN "GOING OVER " A THING THAT YOU WISH TO REMEMBER . IF YOU ARE STUDYING A THING, YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS "GOING OVER " IN YOUR IMAGINATION WILL HELP YOU MATERIALLY IN DISCLOSING THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE NOT REMEMBERED ABOUT IT. BY THUS RECOGNIZING YOUR WEAK POINTS OF MEMORY, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PICK UP THE MISSING DETAILS WHEN YOU STUDY THE OBJECT ITSELF THE NEXT TIME.

                            QUERY TABLE : ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE THING UNDER CONSIDERATION. IT WILL DRAW OUT MANY BITS OF INFORMATION AND ASSOCIATED KNOWLEDGE IN YOUR MIND:

   

                          WHAT ?

                        WHERE ?

                         WHEN ?

                            HOW ?

                           WHY ?

                            WHILE THE ABOVE SIX QUERIES ARE GIVEN YOU AS A MEANS OF ACQUIRING CLEAR IMPRESSIONS AND ASSOCIATION, THEY WILL ALSO SERVE AS A MAGIC KEY TO KNOWLEDGE, IF YOU USE THEM INTELLIGENTLY, IF YOU CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS REGARDING ANYTHING, YOU WILL KNOW A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR THING. AND AFTER YOU HAVE ANSWERED THEM FULLY, THERE WILL BE BUT LITTLE UNEXPRESSED KNOWLEDGE REGARDIG THAT THING LEFT IN YOUR MEMORY.
