Clearing the Cobwebs
A Simple Mind Exercise
As today is Halloween or as the Druid refer to it “November’s Eve,” and Halloween makes me think of spiders and cobwebs, I thought it would be fun to share a mind exercise with you all. This is an exercise in brain/information recall. It is thought that the brain is a super computer and if we learned how to use it as such there is no limit to the potential of the power of the human mind.
As I quickly approach the age of 50 years, I sometimes have trouble remembering things. Years ago I read a book by David St. Clair titled ‘Lessons in Instant ESP’. What a great book, each chapter was a quick and easy guide to using your brain power. One of the chapters was on memory re-call. The following is the lesson in a nutshell.
Imagine yourself walking through a door and when you enter, you are in a room that resembles a post office teller or maybe even a windowed bank teller. Sitting at a desk behind the partition is a little person, (male or female your choice, after all this is your exercise). His/her work area is filled with all kinds of file cabinets, baskets and bins. Go up to the window and ask the little person “what is …..(ask your question here).
Depending on how long the event, the place, or the person is that you are wanting to re-call, that will determine how quickly you receive the answer. If it’s fairly recent he/she will dig through the baskets and bins on their desk. If it’s been a few weeks or months he/she may dig through the file cabinets. If it’s been years, don’t be surprised if he gets up from his desk and exits through the door behind him. If that is the case then he is going down to the basement to look through the old files down there.
OK, now here’s the hard part. Once you have asked your question, forget about it. Don’t keep asking the little person over and over if you don’t get an answer immediately. Every time you do this, he has to stop searching and come back to the window to see what it is you need.
I have used this technique for years and it has never failed me. The only down side of the little person’s search for information from years past is it seems he finds the answer at 3 am in the morning. When he yells out the answer to me I wake up from deep sleep and now I have the answer but the moment for needing the information has past. Use this exercise often and the answer will come more quickly.
