Unlock Your Memory - Dean Johnson
Introduction
Many in the history of mankind have performed remarkable feats of memory. Brahmins in India can recite the entire content of the religious text Mahabharata verbatim consisting of 300,000 verses or slokas. Slavonian minstrels can recite epic long poems from memory. Mithridates was said to have known the names of every soldier in his army and converse fluently in twenty-two dialects. According to Pliny, the Athenian statesman Charmides could repeat the content of every book from his library. Even in more recent times, Tom Meyer, also known as Bible Memory Man, can recite 20 books of the Bible verbatim. On 21st March 2005 at the VIT University in Vellore, Indian Rajveer Meena recited pi to 70,000 digits as recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records!
The same record keeper also mentions how Bartholomew Parker Bidder, born in 1809, became an actuary to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company in 1838, and after the records of the firm were destroyed by fire, he was able to reconstruct the business records from memory in just six months.
History abounds in similar feats of memory that anyone can learn and master. The reason these people were able to accomplish such works of marvel is not that they won the genetic lottery, or because they were prodigies or were privileged in terms of brainpower, such as IQ or a natural-born talent or other uncontrollable factors, but simply because they possessed the secrets to memory, which anyone can replicate given he or she has enough persistence, diligence and work ethics.
Yes, even you!
In this book, I will teach you all the secrets of memory passed down from the dawn of civilization. Whereas the ancients never had access to modern medicine and nutritional secrets, you shall learn that coupled with modern research in diet and exercises, as well as good habits and positive psychology and a plethora of robust techniques, anyone can become experts in memory in just hours! By the time you finish this book, you too shall be able to demonstrate similar feats of memory and unlock your hidden power.
Your subconscious mind remembers everything. However, just like a tool in the proper tradesman can be invaluable, unless you learn to make your mind your servant instead of being at the throes of your untrained mind, it will seem impossible that anyone... anyone will be able to perform such feats.
As Robin Sharma said: Your mind is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.
However, given the proper tools and techniques, you too shall learn to harness the hidden power of your subconscious mind and be able to drive it to do remarkable feats of wonder, nothing short of a miracle.
Imagine the ramifications of a well-possessed memory! A mortal equipped with superhuman memory will not only increase his or her productivity tenfold but just like the movie Limitless or the protagonist of the TV show Suits, he will be able to translate that ability whether applying in the decision making of stocks or dominate the cutthroat world of litigation. A powerful memory is invaluable whether you are pursuing med school or trying to learn a language as fast as possible.
According to Deutsche Welle, a Spaniard by the name of Ramón Campayo was traveling to the World Championship of Memorization in 2003 held in Munich. Bored during his flight, he figured that he would surprise the attendees by giving a speech in their native language. So he opened a book and in two hours learned an entire language from scratch! Not only he astounded his audience but even after a decade later when he was in Germany he discovered he could still remember it all. Furthermore, the Guinness Book of World Records notes how he was able to memorize 68 binary numbers after looking at them for just 3 seconds!
Parts of the brain involved in memory
Before we delve deep into the mysteries of mind and brain it is only imperative we get acquainted with the domain that shall be serving us. An interesting question that often arises if memories are stored in one section of the brain, or distributed amongst many different subsections?
About a century ago Karl Lashley began to study this aspect and he made lesions in the brains of animals such as rats and monkeys. Lashley was searching for the presence of the engram which are neurons that serve as the physical representation of memory and trained rats to find their way through a maze. He created a lesion in the brains of the rats, more especially in the cerebral cortex and tried to erase the engram, or the or the original memory trace that the rats had of the maze.
However, Lashley did not find
