Practice makes the memory perfect. Or the Art of Photographic Memory and Information recall
Anonymous
>>11709008 Meditation is only a small part of the process. A tulpa is a small part of the process, I've got five of them for different tasks. This however is the full method to creating a mind that absorbs information and presents it correctly everytime. If there is time this morning I will discuss how to perform flash calculation. But before any of the neat and super fancy mind tricks can be used, a person's memory must become the hardened tool it needs to be. And that requires kicking in the back door of your mind to expand memory. Think of it like sticking 64 gigs of memory in your cabesa's.
You are going to need space to move ideas around and it's got to be organised.
These techiques do not require a website or a book or anything. Only thing needed is yourself, this information and 30 minutes a day. So first some basic meditation techniques used in Old School Catholic school. If you think buddist monks were the only ones floating off floors and performing mental gymnastics, you would be mistaken. Catholic monks were trained to be living libraries and calculators. They would be sent to areas of the world with a collection of millions of pages of religious nonsense, procedures, processes, law. Everything. TO this day, I still have no idea I still have no idea why I recall the entire collection of philosophy of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite nor why it was that important in fifth grade.
However you all were born with a photographic memory. We never lose it. People just lose the ability to USE it. Actually, more correctly, people misplaced the access to it.

>>11709011 You learned phenomenal things as a small child — languages, social skills, etc. THEN, you went to school to learn a superior way to learn, or so we are led to believe. Statistics show that once we enter school, based on the rote – memory system of learning, learning slows down from that point on.
So, what is the primary thing that changed? You learned how to read! By learning how to read, no matter how ineffective it may be for you, you were force fed to learn it, or you were ostracized. A renegade! Some of those renegades are the same people that have carried over their photographic memory as an adult.
You see, the mechanics to learn to read, such as entrained tunnel vision, directly oppose you natural ability to access and utilize the photographic memory. By learning reading, a learned brain function, you gave up access to your natural brain function of the photographic memory.
Solution: You can learn how to access your natural photographic memory again by learning Mental Photography. What’s even more amazing is that while you are learning how to access your photographic memory, you start to see many other things start happening from exercising your brain this way. This can be done by anyone of any age.
So let's start with how to prepare yourself to actually take Mental photographs. Sorting them is a different task altogether, that's where Tulpa's or the original memory management system happens. First though you need to build the foundation to drop a Tulpa into. A tulpa without real world information to access is worthless and a toy that serves zero purpose.

Process 1 - Relaxing the mind with the Kundalini visualization.

>>11709017 Image association is another way to help remember people, places, and numbers. Basically, it is the use of images to invoke recall. So using the same example of a tall man named Ben. Instead of thinking of the words Big Ben for association, you would picture the Big Ben tower. This is one of the ways to enjoy the benefits of a photographic memory without having to be born with it. It makes remembering things easier.
These are just two examples of how you can train your own memory to take on the benefits of a photographic memory. There are a number of places that you can pick up more information on how you can train your memory. There are books, video and audio series to assist you and it is important to remember that practice is essential to being able to train your memory.
Since most of you are easily distracted because the modern education system has built you useless on purpose plus given 99% of you really dumb ideas on how the mind works. Kundalini practice has some great tools to use in order to slip into the required mental state to start the process of association and honing the mind to crystal clear lucidity.

First step is learning how to zone out and fix the mind in the proper receptive state and placing your mind outside your body in a good mood. Mood, the way you feel, has a lot to do with association.

>>11709029 5. Next, imagine you are going down in an elevator, 20 floors downwards. As you count each passing floor, from 1 to 20, you become more and more totally relaxed. Then, when you reach the bottom and the levator doors open, you find yourself in a beautiful scene:
perhaps a garden, a mountain vale, or a solitary beach…It is some place where you have been before, and so you easily you recall those earlier feelings of being at peace with yourself, with nature, and the entire Universe….
6. Suddenly, you realize that you are no longer alone...there is someone with you. He or she is someone you trust and like very much....It is a person you are or were very intimate with, someone with whom you are totally relaxed....It feels so good to be with that special companion that your whole being is filled with joy....contentment with yourself without judgement

>>11709032 Second Step now that your body is relaxed, you must shut down the monkey mind. Chattering, noisy, full of thoughts zipping around. Like a tree full of monkeys making a lot of noise about nothing. Don't bother contemplating it, that's your subconcious and concious mind throwing ideas around and battling over them. To get the memory bank working for you, you have to act as your own referree. Both your sub-concious and concious brain need to be given some box time to settle down. So you distract it, or 'trick' yourself into letting go for the moment.
(B) Relaxing the Mind.
1. Then you realize that you are alone again....You find yourself lying there alone in that relaxing place, fully grounded to the earth beneath you. And you now begin to imagine a fine tube inside you, extending from the bottom of your body to the crown of your head. You imagine that there is a fluid inside the tube, rising slowly within it like the mercury in a thermometer....
2. The fluid in the tube begins to rise, and to change colour kaleidoscopically as it rises, taking up all the colors of the rainbow....At the bottom of the tube the fluid is violet; midway to your navel, indigo; navel, blue; heart-region, green; throat, yellow; forehead orange; and at the crown, red....
3. Finally, when the fluid reaches the crown of your head, it magically fountains out through a very fine hole there. It covers and bathes you entire body, and your very being, with a feeling of peace, total calm, and contentment....You feel as through you have become an inert doll made of salt, which has been dipped into the sea, so that you melt totally....You become one with the surrounding ocean….

>>11709033 Third step. Auto-programming or Tupla's. I mentioned earlier that I have five of them. The first one I built when I was 8 years old was a house and in my house I have hundreds of rooms. Each room has something unique and different in it to associate a task. The rest of my Tupla's are librarians that understand the house. Each tulpa acting as a librarian understands different things. I have a handy man that memorizes fixing stuff, very handy when I need to absorb youtube videos of car repair or carpentry or whatever physical stuff I need to learn that I don't have the physical process down. Another knows where technical information is and sorts it for me like a infinite database of useless and useful facts, stats, news, places, names, things. I even made a cook to memorize recipes to impress friends and family with a recipe I see happen once. My fourth is a 'wizard', he wanders around spouts spells, meditations, psychic defense, etc. Anything that I don't need in the other 99.9% of my life he deals with.
To make that happen though, you need to build a foundation to contain and visualize the information you have at your disposal. The next three sections is the meat of getting it going.

>>11709037 (C) Tulpa construction
1. Next, imagine that you are in a "special place" of your very own. It is your sanctuary, where you can be highly creative and productive....It is a secret place, where you can also meet your personal adviser or guru....Perhaps it is a room with a panoramic view...a room that you have furnished with great care....There is a large whiteboard with highliter pens, two full-length mirrors, and other things that you need....
2. So you are now in that "special place" of yours....You are facing the whiteboard, and you slowly walk up to it. You pick up a yellow highliter pen, uncap it, and begin to write the syllable “Kleeng”. You also say this to yourself mentally, say six times....If your mind wanders, as it possibly may, let it do so….when you remember the sound again, just repeat it some more, for as long as you wish, until your mind is calm and relaxed....
3. Then, on that whiteboard of your mind, you begin to write in yellow again...You write a brief, positively-worded affirmation about your goals....It is in the present tense, as if you have already achieved what you wanted....You also repeat the affirmation to yourself mentally, or even out aloud if you wish: "I easily achieve...(whatever your goal is)....And finally, you visualize it too....You visualize a past success in detail, and then visualise in full detail that your present goal too is already achieved….Your friends and wellwishers are shaking your hand and congratulating you…and it feels truly wonderful to be such an outstanding achiever....

>>11709038 D) Reinforcing & Anchoring
1. You are now in a deeply relaxed and self-confident state. You are therefore ready to reinforce your own self-programming, by looking into the mirror of your mind and visualising the positive outcomes you want in your life. You do so by using all three of your thinking modalities (see "E" below)--viz. the visual (i.e. images), the auditory (i.e. sounds), and the kinesthetic (i.e. feelings).
2. So you turn next to the two mirrors that you have in your "special room"....The first mirror has a blue frame, and in it you visualize in detail your problem situation, whatever it is that you want to change. Immediately thereafter you look into the second mirror, which has a white frame, and is to the left of the first one....In it you see the solution, the desired new situation, clearly and in vivid detail....And you feel the joy of achievement....
3. Repeat this process of seeing the problem and the solution a number of times....Each time you see the problem in the blue-framed mirror, you immediately see the solution in the white-framed mirror to the left of it....And each time you see that solution, you form a circle with your thumb and forefinger, and say "Yes, I can". This anchors your feelings of confidence and enthusiasm, and triggers them off each time you repeat this special gesture or anchor....
4. It is now time to invite your personal adviser or guru into your "special place". He or she may be someone you actually know, or someone that you simply imagine....It is a being who is very wise and resourceful....Visualize the person clearly, and ask for advice....Imagine getting exactly the advice you need....
5. Finally you end your meditation, by gradually counting from 20 to 1. As you pass 15, and also at 15 and 10, you tell yourself “I come up feeling relaxed and alert"....You then go about your daily activities enthusiastically, feeling progressively better each time you practice the technique....

>>11709041 Like anything practice makes perfect. This includes building your memory to uber status and the stuff you want to memorize and recall.
(E) Daily Practice
1. Regular practice makes the process more and more enjoyable, and also improves the effect. So do it twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes, just after waking up in the morning, and just before sleeping at night...and if possible, a third time at midday. And do it regularly for 21 days, which is the time needed to create a new habit.
2. The Visual, the Auditory, and the Kinesthetic modalities refer to the three main ways in which the human mind thinks, according to Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)--viz. images, sounds and feelings, respectively.
3. The colors in the tube are the rainbow colors “VIBGYOR”.
4. While visualizing, it is not important to have your images picture-perfect: it is the feeling of vividness that causes the effects of relaxation, not the perfection of the imagery.
5. You will be able to use the syllable “Kleeng” as a keyword or mnemonic--along with your thumb-circle anchor--anytime in your daily round, and it will trigger off your feelings of relaxed confidence, optimism, and enthusiasm.

>>11709044 I hope this helps some of you build better lives. Again, it's sad that most of the schools do not teach kids how to think, or use their brains. Instead, education has become a mass of bullshit and propaganda to make people feel better about their shitty countries respectively. I've groomed the techniques above to help ANYONE develop their memory.
In a month or so I'll write another one of these to teach you how to do incredibly complex math in your heads without anything but your minds.
If you have ANY else to add, throw it below. I'm always interested in new learning techniques and brain hacks.

>>11709062 Now you understand what a Tupla is really used for in the context of a Monk.
A tulpa is a memory manager. More specifically your memory manager. The trick is making sure there is something to access on demand.
The above spread the word of every religion on the planet without carting around thousands of books. A belief only needed to deploy a person to place their faith anywhere.
I find that there are a lot of ideas floating around /x/ but none of the tools to manage them or a system to leverage the information.
Knowing something is fine. Using it is another thing altogether.

>>11709071 For music I have a room in my house with guitars (I play rather well over 35 years, on par with Satriani, other than a bit of arthritis I can finger pick like a demon). My wizard handles the fret and finger placement memorization.
As I stated it takes practice.
Combine this with lucid dreaming and the time difference, you can literally practice physical actions for "days" if you wanted to with full access to your house of information.
It is limitless.
>>11709079 Correct. The tulpa's are also responsible for house cleaning the psychic waste thrown at us every day.
Sharpening the mind is as easy as throwing out un-neccessary information.
Since I don't have a name for my process I leave it up to you guys to figure out a name for it.

I suppose it's not k to listen to music (ambient or just nature sounds) while doing this? what about if I'm in a noisy area and having difficulty concentrating?
Cleachtadh a dhéanann maistreacht
>>11709315 I listen to music nowadays. When I was younger you have to understand that the aid of music wasn't an option.
The TV and stereo in my house were in the family room and usually only on from 6pm to 9pm. Maybe later over holiday season.
I learned how to tune out noise, not bring more noise in with four other brothers and sisters. Quiet time was hard to come by unless you made it yourself.
The trick is to make sure it's you controlling the stimulus. If you learn the techniques with sound, then you associate that sound to the memory and it will be difficult to make your mind switch into the state you need to absorb information.
The preferred way is to make your own mental tools and avoid things you might not have on you. Self efficiency is a tool unto itself.
You come into the world with all the tools you need, and leave it with the same tools given. I understand this sounds rather ascetic and hermit like. But between an MP3 player and myself, I'll choose to rely on myself.
That doesn't mean though you can't write your own script to focus your meditation and listen to it.
>>11709314 Learning how to learn is the only piece of education that should be drilled into people. I believe the Montessori method is built on the practice in part, it is even rather flimsy when it comes to offer direction.
There still has to be a purpose to the education if someone is young. They need to develop their livelyhoods and a way to feed/clothe/house themselves. Learning for the sake of learning is really a place you want to be when you are older to develop and refine your business practices.
It was taught to me like this.
- At 20 a man learns his trade.
- At 30 a man perfects his trade.
- At 40 a man manages his trade.
- At 50 a man reinvents his trade.
First things first though, need knowledge to build a trade.

The world has turned into a shithole over the 50 years I've been on it. I did however have people around me in my family at that time that taught "common" knowledge like cooking, cleaning, herbology, medical, etc. This was just shit people learned passively because options weren't available (like computers, phones).
Shit even phones. My house didn't have one until 1986. People just visited each other, knocked on the door and talked. We weren't 'poor', but greed is good shit didn't pop up until the 80's and the complete destruction of the private and public education system.
Here's the weird thing, out of my kids and me passing this on to them, they all graduated earlier and earlier than the next. my oldest finished school at 17, and my youngest at 14.
It exactly showed me what was happening. Kids weren't getting dumber, kids just weren't being taught at all.
Between work and teaching the kids what they needed to know to survive, the weeks were pretty full, but nice thing about a bunch of kids is they teach each other.
Needless to say all four, no debt from school, all scholarships in what they want to do. Using the exact method I was taught in Catholic school decades ago by really mean women that married god (are you in God?). I didn't hit my kids while teaching btw, if you do your job right, your kids don't have to question if you are serious or not. You use your eyes. Hugs work too.
Feed them everything you find really really cool. They take it from there.

My concept of a Coke is a tiny bottle with a nickle deposit on it, because of my age. Your concept of a Coke might be a Aluminium can for a buck, because of your age.

>>11709383 Throughout my years of "schooling" I kept this little mantra close to my heart (even more so once I grew enough perceptively to understand it in it's entirety) courtesy of Samuel Clemens;
>"Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education." I think that might be where the Prussian system of education, and those that have emulated it, have gone wrong. Where that system instills very strict character defining traits such as ethics, duty, obedience and discipline, from my experience the focus of those traits was not to be turned inwardly and applied to the students self development, but taught for the benefit of the teacher and their management of pupils. Thereby, already creating a conundrum in young minds as they must limit their critical thinking in order to project those traits in the way they were taught.
I'm glad to read that you favoured more of a "Pestalozzi" approach to teaching your children than the "angry, deranged and violent nun" approach. Shit - simply the fact that you were aware and involved and wanted to help your children with their learning is endearing, given the state of parenthood today.
Keep on keeping on, OP. You are the Snake Plissken of mental fortitude.

Probably the most dangerous television education series on the planet. In ten shows it explains how to rebuild a society from scratch with nothing by clearing showing the technology leaps in historical context.
This one is my favorite, it's one of the shows that turned me on to Engineering as my life long trade.

If you have boys, they'll drink all your booze and steal (borrow without asking) the car. Those have other consequences like grounding for scaring the crap out of you.
Just make sure they have lives outside the house before grounding or the motivations aren't the same. If I had a total home body out of the four of them I would have dropped them at an Animal shelter or soup kitchen to volunteer for a weekend.
Main job as a parent is not to raise an asshole that eventually someone is going to pay to doing things for them. Doesn't matter if in their own business or someone else's. Everyone has to answer to someone at the end of the day.
I always thought of Carlin as today's counter part to Clemens. Of course Huck Finn never described how the word fuck was used...but at least the introduction of human language in literature was properly introduced.
Could you imagine what type of author Vonnegut would have been like without the influence of Clemens? Stick him on the shelf with Asimov (dry as crackers).
BTW: Anyone watching James Burke Connections, this is the type of educational programming I used to watch on the rabbit ears. I believe it was on Discovery Channel, you know, before it sucked a bowl of horse cock full of show on people shopping for other people. Pickers and Pawn shop shows. Seriously how is that remotely educational...and people pay for it.

And if my old man caught wind of anything shady, I'd catch hell from him too! There's only so much skin on a man's ass.
Most of these practices saved a lot of Catholic kids a lot of beatings. I'm talking about a day and age any adult could beat the tar out of you for being an ass in public.
I didn't like it, I figured if the kids wanted to get slapped around they have each other to do that or their friends at school. If you teach reasoning skills early, you get to explain instead of argue. Lowers the blood pressure, keeps life mellow and nobody questions an explanation. Life doesn't have to be drama.
I've gone to PTA meetings listening to these parents whining about how tough it is. They don't trust themselves enough to teach their kids so their first reaction is to get pissed instead of a reasonable reaction of teaching them what they did wrong.
I don't like people screaming at me unless they are looking for a broken nose. I certainly understand that I should offer the same respect to anyone else, unless I was looking for a broken nose.

I'm new to the concept of tulpas but is D4 how you made your tulpas? It seems a little to easy,
as quoted from /mlp/:
>A tupper is believed to be an autonomous >consciousness which also exists in a self imposed >hallucinatory body, which is usually much of your >choice. A tupper (sic.) is entirely sentient and in control of >its opinions, feelings, movements. Is that easy to create a tulpa? Do you repeat this step over several weeks until it achieve consciousness?
Or are your tulpa some other variant?

Most people choose the opportunity to blather on about religion in school. It wasn't the religion, it was the 3 R's, pain and the human mind's ability to force itself into a different shape to avoid getting a beating for something as simple as timing on a hymn. Not kidding, out of tune, you wouldn't even see it coming. Pow! No one in line dares miss a note and roll with it.
Nobody was singled out, like most Nuns then everybody got it because they were pretty angry about being surrounded by the product of sex. That they weren't having. I understand the model had been the practice since 300AD with the first monk franchises. Sexless old men kicking the crap out of students for getting it wrong, sometimes right. Somewhere women got it in there heads they wanted to be as angry as the old men. lol Most of the Nuns I know today though are women taking the option after their husband dies and they've had families. Similar for Older men. The day's of young clergy and some very badly managed choices by the Church have left it a shadow of what it once was. It is closer to a retirement home than a place of knowledge.

>>11711027 It really depends on how serious you want it to be. I use my "bots" or tulpas as category owners. The goal is association with something meaningful to you.
To a Musician maybe their Tulpa is Jimmy Hendrix in Wizard robes. He is only a construct, but as people we like to detail stuff for meaning. Rock god and wizard. About as close as I thought a Rock god and a wizard when I was 15.
Children do it all the time until they become embarrassed by it. We all know them as imaginary friends and as I've mentioned years 1 through 6 kids soak shit up like a sponge...until school. Suddenly every kid is retarded. The wife was teaching them how to recognize words, shapes, shit Mom like doing...then school happened and suddenly zombie kids. Had no clue what was going on until I sat in to help out. They were all bored out of their minds. All of them. Stupified.
You know how a kid isn't interested? Nothing comes out of their mouth. Kids won't shut up about what they like. Perfectly natural, somehow today, that's a reason to write kids a prescription for pills.

>>11710465 That goes without saying. I remember doing many things as a child that would have made my mother want to beat me senseless though I can't remember her ever having done so. If I didn't know better, I would say that I was raised by the saint of patience herself. All three of us children were encouraged and loved just the same, though not all of us utilised that strong foundation. My oldest brother should have, by the way you were taught, perfected his trade by now yet he's pretty much a failure - in all aspects of life. A startling change compared to the potential of the promising young man that he was.
I lost my best friend of almost 10 years very recently due to the stupidity of another. Without transferring the blame for this entirely(or even mostly) to myself, had I been more exalted in knowledge on their condition, I may have been to intervene when they were given the deadly and ill-prescribed cocktail of medicines by the boorish and underdeveloped fuckhead that brought about their end. Just another example of how knowledge can lead to happiness.
George does a brilliant job of disseminating the principals and ideals that Clemens did, though I feel that a lot of his fans are similar to fans of Bill Hicks; they love watching him lose his shit, as it's hilarious and the meaning or the point of his rant is both admirable and rings true, yet very few of them allow a continuation of those thoughts.They don't expand or dissect their beliefs and statements in an effort to understand them better - they simply share them with their friends. A wise man once told me that "you can't teach others (in which I assume he meant adults of today) to think for themselves, you can only give them with new rhetoric."
While that might seem like a cynical perspective, it actually inspired me to continue to expand my knowledge and understanding of every facet of life, before hoping to incite that change in others.

Sorry guys, I'm trying to be open-minded here, but... That sounds like BS to me. First you talk about improving, sharpening your mind, but then it turns into a self-esteem therapy, convincing, imagining yourself happy, calm etc. Then it's about imagining yourself successful, content, whatever. The best part: you think of a problem and you instantly imagine the solution. If i knew the solution, then was not a problem in the first place! Same with advice. Or is the knowledge supposed to magically appear in my head? What does any of this have to do with memorisation? I understand that a kid could create 'a world of their own' inside their head (especially since they'd been beaten by a nun for years) as a coping mechanism. But that's all it can be. What am I missing, /x/perts? And don't give me the open your mind' crap, i don't buy it.

>>11715576 That's sort of the reason you develop your auto pilots/Tulpa's. Your brain wants to give you a guided tour of your subconcious. Your Tulpa's should be stepping in like fussy assistants with a clip board of stuff for you to do.
I'm a fan of letting go in dreams and letting it happen while attempting to see what my mind wishes me to see, eventually though one fo the tulpa show up. Usually the cat to remind me I have other more pressing items to do.
The drained feeling, I've had that if I'm working on a IRL project that is consuming 12 hours a day. I push too hard and manage to completely wipe myself out.
Remember the mind might be limitless, but your body isn't. Sleep serves a function of the body. We know that certain bodily processes like repair happen, bile is dumped, muscle regeneration happens. Body builders have work out routines and most importantly sleep schedules to maximize the amount of HGH and other fun body chemicals.
Having things in balance is important. Otherwise it sounds like you have some issues to work out if your mirrors are telling you to hang yourself.
The spinning thing? Who knows. The mirrors are really to help develop the Auto pilots, but you can manufacture them by meditation for a month. You have to be focused on their purpose and not inject personalities into them. They will gain their own insights as you do. You aren't looking to create a secondary personality for your body, you are seeking to duplicate your attention and create a 'bucket' to put information into.
So keep that in mind. What a lot of the Tulpa recipes floating around here hope to do is to create multiple personalities. You want to avoid doing that or someone will end up throwing you in the nuthatch. The goal is only to make a better mental filing system.
It's not that weird you can't go down the elevator, you aren't ready to peek into your subconscious yet. I usually try to stay out of there if I can and stick to the models I've built.

A question though, how do you manage your memory and memorization?
Anonymous
>>11716217 Usually I try to understand things in order to learn them. As in, when i have to learn something new, i process the new and/or old info until i can fit the aquired knowledge into my current idea of how things work in this world. This does the trick, as instead of memorising a new concept, i add it to an existing one. With things like history where one simply has to cram an amount of dates, events etc. i am forced to resort to good old learning through repetition. Repetitio mater studiorum. (or something like that) Is that what you wanted to know? Or am i misunderstanding "manage"?
Cleachtadh a dhéanann maistreacht
>>11716272 So you are memorizing through association and creating an anchor to the memory from a past memory. Chaining the association.
You don't use your right brain as much then. You can short cut what 90% of the population do with images or visual aid. Speeds up recall in studies done with lefties or ambidextrous people.
It is a good indication of linear thinking patterns. You can get stuck. The leap to discovery is hard and you usually have to tank through the idea for hours/days/weeks because that's left brain methodology.
Which isn't a bad thing, the world needs the engine in the lab where people follow process to the letter and don't get inventive with it.
That'll change as you get older, by the time you are in your mid 30's a person's sense of self is a bit more relaxed. Eventually you'll just soak up ideas and inter-relate them for no other purpose that you think of them as neat.

Practice does make perfect. I thought I stressed that. Managing memory is more of the topic at hand. Some folks though have difficulty in starting to learn and retaining knowledge.
Obviously the subject of the memorization happens differently than it would on /sci/. Most of the people on /sci/ have the tools to learn and sharpen their professions.
On /x/, well...if the folks here develop their own tool box on how to memorize, it translates into learning. It can be applied to any part off their lives. I'm not saying we're going to see another Hawking, Hemingway or LaVey come out of here. But it certainly increases the odds of that happening. For good or for bad.
Besides worse case scenario is a whole dogpile of really interesting conversationalist come out of it. Nothing worse that chatting with someone and the entire conversation is full of pockets of dead air. Ever talk to someone under 30, cat got their tongue most of the times and they constantly reference to a device of some kind.
Useless once the power goes out.

My oldest sister is a fruit loop born again Christain. To keep the order between us we keep the religious discussions at zero. My parents don't need to be hearing their kids arguing about meaningless shit when there is a family gathering.
To get there though we had to have a big ass fight to learn from it and to accept things we cannot change.
If your brother is a boozer or a crack addict, you can't help that regardless of psychologists dire warnings. People have to hit bottom and do their own assessments in their lives.
If he's not going anywhere in his career, maybe that's where he's happiest. Common theme over the last twenty years is pink slips and layoffs to harden corp bottom lines. Someone has to get canned eventually, sometime repeatedly.
Carlin, Hicks, Henry Rollins and even Bobcat Goldthwaite, I agree. People are mostly waiting for their reaction, but listening to the other 80% of their material is where the beef is. My belief is we have paid philosophers in society, they stand in front of a brick wall and make us laugh at ourselves, force us to think about uncomfortable things and relax our stereotypes of one another. Open up a bit more.
Shame to hear about your buddy. Good friends are hard to come by. The cure to that is easy though. Meet more people. Odds are good you bump into someone you have something in common with. As a Man over a certain age, our options are pub/band or lodge or sports or gaming. Pick one or all four. Just remember to keep a bit of time for yourself to unwind.

>>11716519 Correct. We are still big bags of chemicals and as people we're all built different with different mental skills.
This is more highlighting process that most right brained people can use to sharpen their memorization by tricking their minds (a big bag of chemicals and minerals) into creating the association artificially.
Meditation to a scientist or an engineer is part of the job description. We get paid to think about problems, categorize them, determine unwanted outcomes that we need to avoid and of course measure the success of the outcome of a project/thing/widget.
Visualization is a powerful tool to help that out. Letting your mind wander on an idea for 30 minutes a day to focus your intention for a solution.
The theme park aspect of creating a memory palace is kind of a side show to the real power of having it available. That takes time and practice to build it. And course the "memory palace" has to actually contain real knowledge.
For instance, 20 years ago I couldn't have moved from a G cord to an A without it sounding like garbage. However in my memory palace I have Rock Wizard illustrate finger position and replay body form, finger placement and timing. When I'm in my 'office' (aka dad's fuck around room) and I'm feeling too lazy to power up the laptop. Quick mental reference and I'm in business. And like a puppet, I can get the Rock Wizard to try out stuff without annoying the wife when she's around.
If you think the fear of sounding bad on a guitar goes away after the first couple of years it doesn't. It gets worse, like golf, the harder you try...there have been many times I wished I could just rent someone's fingers to pull the correct sound out of a 10 lbs piece of wood with strings. lol

We all naturally do it eventually when something is bugging us. Toss and turn, the monkey brain chattering, thousand thoughts rolling around robbing us of sleep. Trick is letting go, making sure you don't take it seriously, for the moment.
Some people drink heavily, others smoke weed but the majority of the human race count imperfections on the ceiling while attempting to work it out. Or have an energetic session of fucking with your better half, for men at least, triggers Tryptophan and forces the body to sleep. In women, not so much, wakes them up. At least in my experience. If you are a woman, my old lady likes her feet rubbed and her hair played with, that pulls the battery out of her if she's had a rough day.

As demented as the process may seem that fully grown adults follow a show about ponies, it seems to work. They are developing relationships on a theme, but there is a underlying trust there. What happen though once the show is gone and there is no more external input.
It's how external validation is a dangerous thing. I hope though that most of them see beyond that when it does happen and maintain the friendships they've developed. The loss of a TV show might be the end of a couple of them.

He has effectively and willfully retarded his outlook on the moral and obligatory responsibilities of an adult and while I'm pretty sure that I've discerned why, that knowledge hasn't helped me help him and I shut that book, a long time ago.

I've got a 50 year old back, yoga once or twice a week. Keeps things limber and ready to use. Unlocks the body from tension you didn't release you had.

Maybe that's your catalyst to get the mind away from it's busy work. Let body go and the mind will follow...maybe you are built in reverse. Never know.

Some of my more interesting projects are under non disclosure so it's a big no-no re-purposing material directly from a project. Thousands of pages of documentation and process, if you can get it on paper fast, lab fast then you can deliver it and move on to the next gig.
I still do 12 hour days if the project calls for it. mostly I'll hire a guy to help out because the way taxes work it's cheaper tax wise if I do.
However this is memory management, not money management. There are a million guys out there selling schemes right now and I wouldn't trust any of them.

>>11717205 It certainly does. I've had a few dogs come and go throughout my life so far, yet their passing was a lot easier to stomach as they lived full lives and went when they were ready to. I'm particularly bitter over this as he was about 6 or so healthy and painless years shy of the average life span of his breed the fuckhead that I paid about a fortnights wage to, to kill my dog wasn't even adept at reading test results correctly. Either that or he was just a heartless faggot who couldn't be fucked pursuing a worrisome and unusual portion of the results. Either way, I hope they lose a lot of sleep over it. My first dog was one that I adopted from the pound, he was great and got me in to the habit of donating food regularly to the animal shelter. It's no wonder that people have no qualms about the horrible way they treat each other. If you haven't already seen it - this link is to an advertising campaign by an animal shelter named SPCA they taught three dogs saved from death row at the pound to actually drive a mini. Amusing and cool as fuck. (watch it on mute though, the "soundtrack" they decided to place over the video does it's best to try to diminish your level of amusement)
