From the moment of birth we start to memorize every experience instinctively, because it is only by comparing what is happening now, with what has happened in similar situations, that we can begin to make sense of the world.
Visual, smell, sound, touch, taste, movement, balance, falling, pain, hunger, fear, comfort and pleasure.
`I like this taste its my favorite`, `It hurt real bad when I touched that hot kettle`. `That`s my mothers voice, I like her to be close to me`,
These first experiences are essential for survival, and so they are stored in a part of the brain where they can always be quickly and instinctively recalled.
As the years go by we acquire millions of facts, and countless relationships, conversations, and good and bad experiences. And these we often store away in a messy, untidy heap somewhere in our brain, from where it requires a huge effort to recall it. However, the key memory compartments will always be those that nature has genetically designed for us to hold memories essential to our survival.
Later we will see how to make new memories easy to recall, by linking them by imagination and association with our unforgettable instinctive memories.
Also, we will investigate, and show how to overcome, a major reason for jumbled thinking and scrambled memories .... that as we grow from childhood to maturity, some of our painful emotional experiences will make us suffer a loss of confidence in our abilities.
Leaving us with that self fulfilling prophesy `I don't think I can do that`.
