the beginnings of a trained memory.
You see, most of the things you have ever remembered,
have been associated subconsciously with something else
that you already knew or remembered. The important word
here, is, "subconsciously." You yourselves do not realize
what is going on in your subconscious; most of us would
be frightened if we did. What you subconsciously associ-
ated strongly, will be remembered, what was not associated
strongly, will be forgotten. Since this tiny mental calisthenic
takes place without your knowledge, you cannot help it any.
Here then is the crux of the matter—I am going to teach
you to associate anything you want to, consciously! When
you have learned to do that, you will have acquired a
trained memory!
Keep in mind that the system that I teach in this book
is an aid to your normal or true memory. It is your true
memory that does the work for you, whether you realize
it or not. There is a very thin line between a trained mem-
ory and the true memory, and as you continue to use the
system taught here, that line will begin to fade.
That is the wonderful part about the whole thing; after
using my system consciously for a while—it becomes auto-
matic and you almost start doing it subconsciouslyl
