POWERFUL POINTS OF YOUR BRAIN

 

                                      THE BRAIN POWER

                                                      ❤

                           FASCINATION IS THE MANIFESTATION OF MENTAL INFLUENCE WHEN THE TWO PERSONS ARE TOGETHER, WITHOUT PASSESS OR THE USUAL HYPNOTIC METHODS. HYPNOTISM IS THE USE OF THE POWER, ALSO, WHEN THE TWO PARTIES ARE TOGETHER, BUT ACCOMPANIED BY PASSESS OR HYPNOTIC METHODS.

                         FASCINATION IS ONE OF THE OLDEST FORMS OF THE MANIFESTATION OF MENTAL INFLUENCE. IT CONSISTS OF ACTING UPON BY SOME POWERFUL OR IRRESTIBLE INFLUENCE, POWERFUL FORCE, INFLUENCING THE IMAGINATION, REASON OR WILL OF ANOTHER IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE MANNER. 

                      FASCINATION IS THE RESULT OF THE EMANATION OF STREAMS OF ACTIVE THOUGHT- WAVES FROM THE MIND OF A PERSON, CONCENTRATED AND DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE WHOM THE PERSON WISHES TO AFFECT.

                     (1) THE THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU WISH THE OTHER TO DO IS HELD FIRMLY IN THE MIND, AND 

                      (2) THAT THOUGHT IS PROJECTED TO THE OTHER, SILENTLY, IN THE SHAPE OF UNSPOKEN WORDS.

                                 HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE

                                                                                  ❤

                      MODERN HYPNOTIC INVESTIGATORS MERELY INDUCE A PASSIVE STATE IN THE MIND, NERVES OR MUSCLES OF THE SUBJECT SUFFICIENT TO REDUCE THE POWERS OF RESISTENCE, AND THEN GIVE ORDERS OR "VERBAL SUGGESTIONS" ACCOMPANIED BY A PROJECTION OF THEIR THOUGHT-WAVES INTO THE MIND OF THE SUBJECT.

                       WITH A LITTLE EXPERIMENTING IN USING THIS TECHNIQUE, YOU WILL SOON DISCOVER THE POWER OF YOUR EYE UPON THE OTHER PERSONS. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ALMOST FEEL THE FORCE PASSING FROM YOUR GAZE TO THEIRS. AND THIS IS TRUE IN THE CASE OF THE PASSESS AND STROKING OF THE HANDS. YOU WILL FEEL THE VIBRATORY WAVES FLOWING FROM YOUR HANDS INTO THEIR NERVOUS SYSTEM. IT IS WONDERFUL WHAT POWER IS AROUSED.

                       BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS PUTTING THEIR HANDS TO YOU, OR PATTING OR STROKING YOU, OR WISHING TO HOLD YOUR HANDS A LONG TME. MANY PERSONS DO THIS FROM FORCE OF HABIT, AND INNOCENTLY, BUT OTHERS DO SO WITH THE INTENTION OF PRODUCING A MILD FORM OF HYPNOTIC INFLEUNCE UPON YOU. YOU CAN COUNTERACT THEIR INFLUENCE BY SENDING THEM THE THOUGHT. "YOU CANNOT AFFECT ME - I AM TOO STRONG FOR YOU - YOU CANNOT PLAY YOUR TRICKS ON ME".

                                          INFLENCING 

                                                     ❤

                     THE PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING MENTAL INFLENCE AT A DISTANCE ARE PRECISELY THE SAME AS THOSE UNDERLYING THE USE OF INFLUENCE WHEN THE PERSONS ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF EACH OTHER.

                     ONE OF THE MOST ELEMENTARY, AND YET ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHODS KNOWN TO OCCULTISTS IS THAT OF CREATING A METAL IMAGE OF THE PERSON "TREATED" IN THE SENSE OF IMAGINING THE SUBJECT TO BE SEATED IN A CHAIR IN FRONT OF THE PERSON TREATING HIM OR HER AT A DISTANCE. THE TREATOR PROCEEDS TO GIVE  BOTH VERBAL COMMANDS, AND AT THE SAME TIME DIRECTS THOUGHT-WAVES TOWARD THIS IMAGINARY PERSON. THIS PROCESS ESTABLISHES A PSYCHIC CONDITION BETWEEN THE TREATOR AND THE ACTUAL PERSON, ALTHOUGH THE LATTER MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE TREATOR BY MANY MILES OF SPACE.

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

 

                                      THE BRAIN POWER

                                THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO NEVER OR RARELY FORGET A NAME IS EXCEEDINGLY SMALL, THE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO HAVE A POOR MEMORY FOR THEM IS VERY LARGE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS PARTLY A DEFECT OF MENTAL DEVELOPMENT AND PARTLY A MATTER OF HABIT. IN EITHER CASE IT MAY BE OVERCOME BY EFFORT.

                                  THE DIFFICULTY IN THE RECOLLECTION OF NAMES IS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT NAMES IN THEMSELVES ARE UNINTERESTING AND THEREFORE DO NOT ATTRACT OR HOLD THE ATTENTION, AS DO OTHER OBJECTS PRESENTED TO THE MIND. SOUND IMPRESSIONS ARE APT TO BE MORE DIFFICULT OF RECOLLECTION THAN SIGHT IMPRESSIONS, BUT THE LACK OF INTERESTING QUALITIES IN NAMES IS BELIEVED TO BE THE PRINCIPLE OBSTACLE AND DIFFICULTY.

                          SUGGESTIONS ON IMPROVING 

                                   MEMORY OF NAMES :

                       * MAKE A STUDY OF NAMES - START A COLLECTION - AND YOU WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE IN DEVELOPING A MEMORY FOR THEM.

                        * LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE NAME. INSTEAD OF MERELY CATCHING A VAGUE SOUND OF A NAME, LISTEN TO IT SO CLEARLY AND DISTINCTLY THAT A FIRM REGISTRATION IS OBTAINED ON THE RECORDS OF YOUR MEMORY.

                        * REPEAT THE NANE AFTER HEARING IT TO STRENGTHEN THE IMPRESSION . IF IT IS AN UNUSUAL NAME, WRITE IT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES, AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, THUS OBTAINING THE BENEFIT OF A DOUBLE SENSE IMPRESSION, ADDING EYE IMPRESSION TO EAR IMPRESSION.

                       THE PHASES OF MEMORY MAY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO GENERAL CLASSES, NAMELY 1. MEMORY OF SENSE IMPRESSIONS, AND 2. MEMORY OF IDEAS.

                        MEMORY OF SENSE IMPRESSIONS OF COURSE INCLUDES THE IMPRESSIONS RECEIVED FROM ALL OF THE FIVE SENSES, SIGHT, HEARING, TASTE, TOUCH AND SMELL. BUT WHEN WE COME DOWN TO A PRACTICAL EXAMINATION OF SENSE IMPRESSIONS RETAINED IN THE MEMORY, WE FIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF SUCH IMPRESSIONS ARE THOSE OBTAINED THROUGH THE TWO RESPECTIVE SENSES OF SIGHT AND HEARING.

 

                          THE MORE IMPRESSIONS THAT YOU CAN MAKE REGARDING A THING, THE GREATER ARE THE CHANCES OF YOUR EASILY RECOLLECTING IT. LIKEWISE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTACH AN IMPRESSION OF A WEAKER SENSE. TO THAT OF A STRONGER ONE, IN ORDER THAT THE FORMER MAY BE MEMORIZED FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE GOOD EYE MEMORY, AND A POOR EAR MEMORY, IT IS WELL TO ATTACH SOUND IMPRESSIONS TO THE SIGHT IMPRESSIONS. 

HOW TO REMEMBER GOOD THINGS (MIND POWER)

 

                                               THE BRAIN

                                   REMEMBERING FACT

                             READ WITH ATTENTION . THIS IS THE RULE THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OF ALL OTHERS. IT STANDS INSTEAD OF A SCORE OF MINOR DIRECTIONS. INDEED IT COMPREHENDS THEM ALL, AND IS THE GOLDEN RULE.

                                IT IS NOT NECESSARY, NOR IS IT ADVISABLE TO ATTEMPT TO MEMORIZING THE TEXT OF A BOOK, EXCEPTING, PERHAPS, A FEW PASSAGES THAT MAY SEEM WORTHY TO BE TREASURED UP WORD FOR WORD. THE PRINCIPLE THING TO BE REMEMBERED ABOUT A BOOK IS ITS MEANING - WHAT IT IS ABOUT.

                               IF THE BOOK IS A HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, AUTOBIOGRAPHY, NARRATIVE OR STORY OF FACT OR FICTION, YOU WILL FIND IT OF VALUE TO VISUALIZE ITS OCCURENCES AS THE STORY UNFOLDS.

                           IN ORDER TO FULLY ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH A BOOK, BEFORE READING IT YOU SHOULD FAMILIRIZE YOURSELF WITH ITS GENERAL CHARACTER. TO DO THIS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE FULL TITLE, AND THE SUBTITLE, IF THERE BE BY. YOU SHOULD READ THE PERFACE AND STUDY CAREFULLY THE TABLE OF CONTENTS.

                          WHEN LISTENING TO A SEMON, SPEECH OR DISCOURSE, ATTEND TO WHAT IS SAID, AND RECORD IN YOUR MIND SO THAT WHEN YOU REVIEW IT AFTERWARDS, YOU WILL BE PRESENTED WITH A GOOD SYNOPSIS OF IT. YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO ABSORB AND RECORD THE IDEAS AND GENERAL THOUGHT EXPRESSED. INTEREST - ATTENTION - PRACTICE - REVIEW - THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT POINT IN MEMORY.

                                          NUMBERS

                        THE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN REMEMBERING NUMBERS, TO THE MAJORITY OF PERSONS, IS THE FACT THAT NUMBERS "DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM" THAT IS, THAT NUMBERS ARE THOUGHT OF ONLY IN THEIR ABSTRACT PHASE AND NATURE, AND ARE CONSEQUENTLY FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER THAN ARE IMPRESSIONS RECEIVED FROM THE SENSE OF SIGHT OR SOUND. THE REMEDY, HOWEVER, BECOMES APPARENT WHEN WE RECOGNIZE THE SOURCE OF THE DIFFICULTY. THE REMEDY IS : MAKE THE NUMBER THE SUBJECT OF THE SENSE OF IMPRESSIONS OF SIGHT OR SOUND, OR BOTH, ACCORDING TO WHICH ARE THE BEST DEVELOPED IN YOUR PARTICULAR CASE.

                  A GOOD WAY TO MEMORIZE DATES, SPECIAL NUMBERS CONNECTED WITH EVENTS, ETC, IS TO VISUALIZE THE PICTURE OF THE EVENT WITH THE PICTURE OF THE DATE OR NUMBER, THUS COMBINING THE TWO THINGS INTO A MENTAL PICTURE, THE ASSOCIATION OF WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED WHEN THE PICTURE IS RECALLED.

                   IN MEMORY, THE THREE RULES ARE , "INTEREST , ATTENTION AND EXERCISE" AND THE LAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, FOR WITHOUT IS THE OTHERS FAIL.

                   LET FIGURES AND NUMBERS "MEAN SOMETHIG" TO YOU, AND THE REST WILL BE MERELY A MATTER OF DETAIL.

                                              FACES

                         THE ABILITY TO REMEMBER FAES IS POSSESSED BY ALL PERSONS, BUT IN VARYING DEGREES. THOSE IN WHOM IT IS WELL DEVELOPED SEEM TO RECOGNIZE THE FACES OF PERSONS WHOM THEY MET YEARS BEFORE, AND TO ASSOCIATE THEM WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THEY LAST MET THEM, EVEN WHERE THE NAME ESCAPES THE MEMORY. OTHERS SEEM TO FORGET A FACE THE MOMENT IT PASSESS FROM VIEW, AND FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THE SAME PERSONS WHOM THEY MET ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE.

                    THE STUDY OF A GOOD ELEMENTARY WORK ON PHYSIOGNOMY IS RECOMMEDED TO THOSE WISHING TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY OF REMEMBERING FACES, FOR IN SUCH A WORK THE STUDENT IS LED TO NOTICE TEH DIFFERENT KINDS OF NOSES, EARS, EYES, CHINS, FOREHEADS, ETC, SUCH NOTICE AND RECOGNITION TENDING TO INDUCE AN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT OF FEATURES.

                   A GOOD PLAN IN DEVELOPING THIS FACULTY IS TO VISUALIZE THE FACES OF PERSONS YOU HAVE MET DURING THE DAY, IN THE EVENING. TRY TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY OF VISUALIZING THE FEATURES OF THOSE WHOM YOU KNOW - THIS WILL START YOU OFF RIGHT. DRAW THEM IN YOUR MIND - SEE THEM WITH YOUR MIND'S EYE, UNTIL YOU VISUALIZE THE FEATURES OF VERY OLD FRIENDS, THEN DO THE SAME WITH ACQUAINTANCES, AND SO ON, UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO VISUALIZE THE FEATURES OF EVERY ON YOU "KNOW". THEN START ON TO ADD TO YOUR LIST BY RECALLING IN THE IMAGINATION, THE FEATURES OF STRANGERS WHOM YOU MEET. BY A LITTLE PRACTICE OF THIS KIND YOU WILL DEVELOP A GREAT INTEREST IN FACES AND YOUR MEMORY OF THEM, AND THE POWER TO RECALL THEM WILL INCREASES RAPIDLY.

HOW TO INCREASE OUR MEMORY POWER

 

                 

                           MEMORY ESSENTIAL    (MUSIC)

                 

       

                      THERE ARE TWO PHASES OF MEMORY ESSENTIAL IN THE "MEMORY OF MUSIC" - THE MEMORY OF TUNE AND THE MEMORY OF THE NOTES. THER MEMORY OF TUNE OF COURSE FALLS INTO THE CLASS OF EAR-IMPRESSIONS, AND WHAT HAS BEEN SAID REGARDING THEM IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO THIS CASE. THE MEMORY OF NOTES FALLS INTO THE CLASSIFICATION OF EYE-IMPRESSIONS, AND THE RULES OF THIS CLASS OF MEMORY APPLIES IN THIS EASE.

                      AS TO THE CULTIVATION OF THE MEMORY OF TUNE, THE PRINCIPLE ADVICE TO BE GIVEN IS TO TAKE AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN ALL THAT PERTAINS TO THE SOUND OF MUSIC, AND ENDEAVORING TO REPRODUCE IT IN THE IMAGINATION OR MEMORY.  ENDEAVOR TO ENTER INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE MUSIC UNTIL IT BECOMES A PART OF YOU. DO NOT BE CONTENT WITH MERELY HEARING IT, BUT LEND YOURSELF TO A FEELING OF ITS MEANING. THE MORE THE MUSIC "MEANS TO YOU" THE MORE EASILY WILL YOU REMEMBER IT.

                         TRY TO ASSOCIATE SOUND AND VISION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT WHEN YOU SEE A NOTE, YOU WILL HEAR THE SOUND OF IT, AND WHEN YOU BEAR A NOTE SOUNDED, YOU WILL SEE IT AS IT APPEARS ON THE SCORE. THIS COMBINING OF THE IMPRESSIONS OF BOTH SIGHT AND SOUND WILL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBLE SENSE IMPRESSIONS, WHICH RESULT IN DOUBLING YOUR MEMORY EFFICIENCY.

                                          OCCURRENSES

                           IF YOU WILL GIVE TO THE OCCURENCES OF EACH DAY A MENTAL REVIEW IN THE EVENING, YOU WILL FIND THAT ACT OF REVIEWING WILL EMPLOY THE ATTENTION TO SUCH AN EXTENT AS TO REGISTER THE HAPPENINGS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE IF EVER NEEDED  THEREAFTER.

                         THE HABIT OF REVIEWING AND "TELLING" TEH THINGS THAT ONE PERCEIVES, DOES AND THINKS DURING THE DAY, NATURALLY SHARPENS THE POWERS OF FUTURE OBSERVATION, ATTENTION AND PERCEPTION.

                        YOU MAY FIND IT USEFUL TO KEEP A JOURNAL AND WRITE DOWN YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES. THIS WILL PROVIDE AN ADDED TOOL OF DEVELOP YOUR MEMORY.

                            A PSALM OF LIFE

                     OUT OF THE NIGHT THAT COVERS ME

                           BLACK AS A PIT FROM POLE TO POLE

                     I THANK WHATEVER GODS MAY BE

                            FOR MY UNCONQUERABLE SOUL.

             IN THE FELL CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE

                    I HAVE NOT WINCEL NOR CRIED ALOUD

              UNDER THE BLUDGEONINGS OF CHANCE

                     MY HEAD IS BLOODY BUT UNBOWED

                                                        ❤

                   BEYOND THIS PLAE OF WRATH AND TEARS

                         LOOMS BUT THE HORROR OF THE SHADE

                  AND YET THE MENACE OF THE YEARS

                         FINDS AND SHALL FIND ME UNAFRAID

                   IT MANNERS NOT HOW STRAIT THE GATE

                        HOW CHARGED WITH PUNISHMENTS THE SCROLL.

                  I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE

                  I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL.

                  KEY POINTS    ❤

                    THE NATURAL SYSTEM OF MEMORIZING IS BASED UPON THE PRINCIPLE THAT CONSISTS OF THE LEARNING OF ONE LINE AT A TIME, AND REVIEWING THAT LINE, THEN LEARNING A SECOND LINE AND REVIEWING THAT, AND THEN REVIEWING THE TWO LINE TOGETHER, AND SO ON, EACH ADDITION BEING REVIEWED IN CONNECTION WITH THOSE THAT WENT BEFORE.

                    IF YOU WISH TO ACQUIRE A GOOD MEMORY FOR WORDS, SENTENCES, ETC. BEGIN AT ONCE, SELECT SOME FAVORITE POEM FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE DEMONSTRATION. THEN MEMORIZE ONE VERSE OF NOT OVER FOUR TO SIX LINES TO BEGIN WITH. LEARN THIS VERSE PERFECTLY, LINE BY LINE, UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REPEAT IT WITHOUT A MISTAKE.

                    CONSTANTLY REVIEW WHAT YOU HAVE MEMORIZED FROM BEGINNING TO END. YOU CANNOT REVIEW THEM TOO OFTEN. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THEM FLOW ALONG LIK THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET, FROM "A" TO "Z" IF YOU REVIEW PROPERLY AND OFTEN ENOUGH.
