Lesson 2
“...your memory is a peripheral device...You use your brain to call up images, but they appear on the periphery, somewhere outside of your brain....” 3 How We Remember If you will accept the theory I am about to present to you in this passage, you will not have to take the painstaking steps involved in trying to understand the difficult process of where your memory resides, or even if it resides in the anatomical structure of the brain. Take a look at past experience as in Carol A. Turkington’s book, 12 STEPS TO A BETTER MEMORY, where she offers some insight into how memory works: At present, the seat of memory cannot be found in any one place in the brain. Instead, scientists believe memory actually functions on a much more basic level: the level of synapses scattered in web-like patterns throughout the brain. In fact, scientists don’t really make any distinction between how you remember and how you think. No one completely understands either process. While people often think of memory as a single phenomenon, in fact there are two distinct mechanisms, corresponding to different mental processes, voluntary and involuntary memory. The smell of your mother’s perfume may trigger an involuntary memory if the sensation comes by surprise, or your memory of her may appear as a voluntary memory if you choose to search for it.
The theory, or concept that will give you immediate access to the photographic memory you wish to enjoy using right now (and which you already possess) can be realized in the following: your memory does not reside in the physical or anatomical structure of your brain; your memory is a peripheral device. You use your brain to call up images in your mind which is a very intricate process involving neurological pathways and chemicals that, if I listed here, would cause you to nod out and never open this book again. Accept my theory for now and you will be able to use your photographic memory immediately by circumventing the rhetorical clutter. Understand that your memory is outside of your brain and on the periphery somewhere. Yes! Again I say: Contrary to popular belief, the memory does not reside in the brain, but is a peripheral device to the brain. You use your brain to call up images, but they appear on the periphery, somewhere outside of your brain. Just as a computer calls up images by searching its hard drive, then finding the image and placing it on the monitor’s screen, your mind operates the same way: your brain allows you to search images in your minds eye (on its hard drive) and will then display them somewhere on the periphery of your mind (the screen). Try it for a moment. Attempt to see a purple cat. Close your eyes right now and see in your mind’s eye a purple cat. Open your eyes and determine where that purple cat appeared. Was it in your brain somewhere? Was it out in front of you six feet or so? Or was it in another room in your home, or perhaps in another location altogether?
