The Art Of Memory And The Bible

'Bible mnemonics' is a specific set of skills. However mnemonics in general and the ever developing 'Art of Memory' is worth studying. Here is a useful compendium of ongoing research. May you find it useful and time saving in your quest to hide the Word of God in your heart. My core inner reality is a living set of memory verses (including 1 Jn 1:9 and Jn 3:16). My core Bible summary is the 'Jesus Prayer'.

A mnemonic is a memory and learning aid.

Mnemonics rely on associations.

-Both of these words refer back to mnema - remembrance.
Mnemonics is the Art of Memory.
There are three sorts of memory: the natural memory, the trained memory, and the Holy Spirit.
Natural memory is inborn, and is used every day.

-The latter two perform feats of memory that are extraordinary.
-Feats impossible to carry out using the natural memory alone.

I have always been fascinated and looked at various methods to improve my weak or small retention memory.
Tried to practice a few times and even adopted aids to help including paying to learn but somehow lose enthusiasm after all the struggle and not winning in remembering the things I need to.

Example, write a list of things I have to do - and I cant remember where I put the list.
Remember acronyms - yes i remember the acronym but dont remember what they represent- perhaps I am doing wrong -I dont want to remember only the acronym i.e. the tool - I want to remember what I need to remember by using that tool and I forget what the acronym represents!

So frustrating but should I accept what I am and cannot change or am I not understanding what I can change?
