Q & A
What is the Memory Palace technique traditionally used for?
-The traditional Memory Palace technique is used for memorization by associating items with specific points in a familiar location, allowing the person to recall information by mentally navigating through the location.
How does the concept of a 'purely geometrical memory palace' differ from the traditional Memory Palace?
-A purely geometrical memory palace uses abstract geometric shapes like cubes, circles, triangles, or squares instead of real-world locations to create a structure for memorization, offering a potentially infinite storage space for information.
What is the significance of using geometrical shapes in memory techniques according to the script?
-Using geometrical shapes can help impose a structured, logical, and mathematical approach to organizing memory palace journeys, which can be beneficial for those who don't have access to many physical locations for traditional memory palaces.
Can you provide an example of how a cube can be used as a memory palace for a history exam?
-A cube can be used to encode different aspects of a historical event on each face and corner. For instance, one face could represent key figures, another could list major battles, the timeline on the top, causes and effects on the bottom, allied powers on one side, and Axis powers on the other.
What is the potential issue with using an infinitely expanding memory palace?
-The potential issue with an infinitely expanding memory palace is the cognitive load it may create, which could make it difficult to remember the directions followed or the number of memory 'stations' laid out in the mental space.
What is the historical reference to geometrical shapes in memory techniques mentioned in the script?
-The script refers to Giordano Bruno's '30 Seals' as a historical example of using geometrical shapes in memory techniques, suggesting that these shapes could represent spaces for memorizing things and also universal truths.
How can the shape of a country be used to remember information for an immigration exam?
-The shape of a country can be used to remember information by associating different parts of the shape with various pieces of information, such as bordering countries or internal regions, using basic geometrical shapes to help with recall.
What is the role of spaced repetition in the context of memory palaces?
-Spaced repetition is crucial in the context of memory palaces as it helps encode the information into long-term memory, allowing for easy recall during exams or presentations without the need to mentally navigate through the memory palace.
How can a pyramid or a triangle be used to structure a speech or presentation?
-A pyramid or a triangle can be used to structure a speech by assigning different sections of the speech to different faces of the shape, such as the introduction at the top, main points on the sides, and the conclusion at the base, creating a hierarchical structure for the speech.
What is the final exercise suggested in the script for practicing memory techniques with playing cards?
-The final exercise suggested is to memorize playing cards while listening to a podcast, using the cards as a memory palace and associating points on the card with different pieces of information, challenging the memory by multitasking.
Outlines
đ° Introduction to Geometric Memory Palaces
This paragraph introduces a novel approach to the Memory Palace technique, which traditionally relies on familiar locations. The speaker proposes using geometric shapes like cubes, circles, triangles, and squares as the basis for this memory enhancement method. The idea is to create 'purely geometrical memory palaces' that could revolutionize the way we memorize information, such as key points from books, new vocabulary, or even speeches, without the need for physical locations. The speaker emphasizes the importance of following the tutorial in sequence to grasp the concept fully and invites viewers to subscribe for more mental adventure content aimed at improving memory.
đ Expanding Memory Palaces with Geometry
The speaker elaborates on how geometric shapes can be used to expand the traditional Memory Palace technique. By using abstract geometrical forms, one can create more 'stations' for information within a Memory Palace, potentially allowing for an infinite number of storage spaces. The paragraph discusses the possibility of imposing geometrical shapes on real-world locations to extend Memory Palaces and introduces the concept of using hands as Memory Palaces, combined with spherical techniques for more storage options. The speaker also touches on the historical aspect of memory techniques, mentioning the possible use of geometrical shapes in ancient structures like Stonehenge and the influence of thinkers like Giordano Bruno.
đČ Applying Geometric Memory Palaces Practically
This paragraph provides practical examples of how to use geometric shapes in memory enhancement. The speaker suggests using a cube to memorize different aspects of a historical event, like World War II, by assigning each face of the cube to represent key figures, battles, timeline, causes and effects, and alliances. The importance of encoding and decoding information through spaced repetition is highlighted, as well as the idea of placing multiple geometrical objects within a Memory Palace to increase memory capacity. The speaker also shares personal experiences of using the shape of Germany to remember its borders and internal states for an immigration exam.
đ Abstract Geometric Memory Palaces for Language Learning
The speaker explores the use of abstract geometrical shapes, such as a sphere, for memorizing language parts of speech. The idea is to divide the sphere into latitudinal and longitudinal bands, assigning different parts of speech to each section. This method can also be used to categorize words and phrases thematically. The paragraph emphasizes the need for proper recall rehearsal to move information from short-term to long-term memory and suggests that while this technique can be complex, it is a powerful tool for organizing and remembering information.
đș Utilizing Geometric Shapes for Speeches and Presentations
The speaker discusses the application of geometric shapes, specifically a pyramid or triangle, for organizing and delivering speeches or presentations. The idea is to use the different faces of the shape to represent the structure of the speech, including the introduction, main points, and conclusion. The paragraph also touches on the use of acronyms and mental pillars to guide speeches without memorizing them verbatim. The speaker shares personal anecdotes about using memory techniques in public speaking and emphasizes the importance of practice and rehearsal to solidify the information in long-term memory.
đ Advanced Geometric Memory Exercises with Playing Cards
In this final paragraph, the speaker introduces advanced memory exercises involving playing cards and geometric shapes. The idea is to memorize cards while performing other tasks, such as listening to a podcast, to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of memory training. The speaker also suggests using the structure of a deck of cards, including Jokers and the memory wheel technique, to create complex geometric memory systems. The paragraph concludes with an invitation to subscribe for more memory training content and a teaser for an upcoming book on memory exercises.

what if I told you that there's an
approach to using the Memory Palace
technique that doesn't require using
familiar buildings or even locations at
all at least not locations in the way we
normally think about it imagine being
able to memorize the key points from
books to improve your understanding of a
foreign language by adding new
vocabulary and sometimes even phrases
and possibly even delivering simple
speeches without using notes
simply by using instead of a building
something like a cube or a circle a
triangle or a square as a Memory Palace
today I'm going to reveal the secret of
purely geometrical memory palaces a
revolutionary approach that may make
your use of traditional memory palaces
go away at least some of the time now
please don't skip around this video
tutorial because I don't want you to
miss any of the detail on how you'll
harness the power of geometry to create
potentially and I do mean potentially
infinite storage spaces none of us are
going to live that long for Infinity to
kick in assuming Infinity is what most
of us think that it is because it
probably isn't because most of us aren't
physicists or mathematicians but this
isn't just a silly memory trick and even
if it were a memory trick I once asked
Harry Lorraine what he thought about
calling pneumonics tricks and he said
well it's like magic whether it's a
trick or not is irrelevant as long as it
creates an effect I've always loved that
memory of discussing that with Harry
line it's not a trick using geometry
could be the key to unlocking your
mind's true potential especially if
you're a person who doesn't have access
to a lot of buildings locations Etc upon
which to base your memory palaces and
this key it's been hiding in plain sight
for centuries now before we dive into
all the details hit that subscribe
button if you're new here and you love
mental Adventures that improve your
memory better memory equals Better
Living In Our Little World here and make
sure you hit that notification Bell so
you don't miss a thing cuz there's a lot
coming up in our journey to better and
better memory and Better Living as a
result and for those of you who are
already here For the Love of memory hit
that thumbs up to help our community
keep reminding those robots that we
humans care about the memory that we
carry in our cranial or calic shaped
skulls or is this skull perhaps best
described as an irregular ellipsoid or
is it an ovoid shape well it's something
to learn over time every time I look in
the mirror using the shapes themselves
as memory palaces to help me remember
the words and is isn't it cool to be
able to remember words like that no
matter how challenging they are memory
techniques are the way forward for most
of us so appeals to you know getting
subscribed and all that aside what shape
is the Subscribe button by the way would
you
say we're going to work directly with
geometrical shapes and how they can be a
game Cher for you but I want to quickly
review what the traditional Memory
Palace technique is just for those of
you who are new to it and it's always
good to review these things cuz
repetition is the mother of learning so
A Memory Palace uses a familiar location
like your home or your workplace or a
school or a church or a movie theater
Etc and you place items that you lay out
at specific points in your imagination
and it's this familiarity with the space
that allows you to go from the corner of
a room to a chair that helps you recall
the way that you've placed that
information there now you don't just
Place information in cold you warm it up
by adding associations so when I
memorized megason Topo santagar Cori
which is from taes the idea that space
is Ultimate because it contains all
things well I just had a place where I
put Megatron from the the uh Transformer
Series right and so then that's in a
corner of a room and I go back and
recall the information by so to speak
mentally walking through the apartment
where I place that and retrieving the
items in order and in this case it's a
series of items that help me get back
the entire phrase and it doesn't matter
if it's in Greek it doesn't matter if
it's in whatever language it might be in
what we're relying on is a heavy
personal association and familiarity
with the chosen location so what makes
geometry any different if I want to take
a triangle or a circle or a square or
indeed a cube well not to be captain in
obvious here but instead of using a real
world location I'm using the abstract
geometric shape and the space that is
created by the lines of the shape no
matter what shape it might be it's based
on Geometry using points lines planes
solids and not necessarily referring to
any actual location in the world but you
do have the benefit of being able to
impose
geometrical shapes on locations
extending A Memory Palace so if I wanted
to expand that area I could have a
triangle or a prism or a sphere in the
corner of that room which would allow me
to have more stations in the Memory
Palace so it's a really really great
technique because instead of having like
one piece of information in a corner or
on a chair the pyramid would potentially
give you several tiers and then you can
arrange information in those tiers
according to hierarchical importance and
I'll give you an example of what I mean
later but just as a general overview
this is what you can do if you think
about using hand memory palaces which I
do more and more often these days since
I learned about it from Tyson Y koraa in
Sant talk well you can combine using
your hand as a Memory Palace with the
sphere technique to turn a fingertip
into a globe with many more options so
in Sant talk I believe of memory serves
it is uh connect respect no connect
reflect respect direct now those are
just one piece of information for each
fingertip but if I were to imagine a
sphere on each fingertip then I've got
at least the four cardinal directions if
not more to make more stations per
finger so what the approach potentially
allows you to do is organize Memory
Palace Journeys in a structured logical
mathematical way
that when done well can be added to many
many other locations or just expanded
potentially infinitely because you're
not limited by physical space you could
have these spheres not on your
fingertips but just going out into
Infinity right now this can lead to
consequences such as not being able to
remember which directions that you
followed not being able to remember how
many spheres that you laid out in the
void of your mind so it's important to
use this technique cautiously sparingly
or at least it is for me because
sometimes the cognitive load that it
creates is not that
[Music]
useful now as you know it's the Mandate
of this channel to also always wherever
possible talk about the history of
memory techniques so we want to pause
where does this idea of using
geometrical shapes come from ultimately
I don't think we know I mean if
Stonehenge was a Memory Palace it's
essentially geometrical shapes that are
in some place which then could be
referred to mentally as shapes in order
to use as a Memory Palace so there might
be that we know as as I just talked
about the hands thing from Tyson yonga
that hands have been used in the
Aboriginal tradition for a very very
long time offloading information that
needed to be remembered onto these
physical structures is it geometry and
an abst sense no but as we've seen it
can be expanded and it can help you
offload more information onto objects
that are built by the hand such as
lucasa memory sticks Etc but perhaps the
way that I've first seen it in the
deepest possible historical sense
expanded to be purely abstract is in
Bruno's 30 seals and this Edition has 30
seals and the Seal of seals which is
produced by Scott goell who translated
it and if you look inside of this guide
well it gets deep into using geometrical
shapes you've got a means of imposing a
geometrical understanding onto the sky
for example or you can use a tree in a
particular way as a reference circles
squares triangles all of this becomes
the basis for complex memory systems and
as far as I can tell Bruno believed that
these shapes could represent not just
spaces for memorizing things but also
Universal truths and the knowledge of
geometry itself could help you encode
more things so it's kind of like the
more you know the more you can know
principle in any case if you haven't
read Bruno I know he's really tough but
it's worth it and it's groundbreaking
work and frankly it's still
groundbreaking work even though it's old
because as David Burgas reminds us in a
question of memory we all have to
interpret the traditional wisdom of the
memory tradition in our own way we have
to contend with it and the more that you
contend with it the more you're going to
get out of it so you know hop to it and
I hope that this channel encourages you
to do so and gives you ideas and ways to
think about it but it's nothing I can
say is ever a replacement for going out
doing your own study and your own
experiments so let's just get started
with how this might work if you're going
to do something like this pick a shap
shape it might be a cube for example by
the way these cards are created by John
Michael Greer they come in a box and
it's the sacred geometry Oracle book and
card deck and I got these for several
reasons my research and so forth but
they are really cool in terms of giving
you a bunch of shapes to learn about the
mathematical formulas are there there's
some ideas in the realm of sacred
geometry what they all might mean this
one says stability and rigidity as a
potential metaphorical meaning or
however you want to think about that
anyway there's visualization exercises
that you can do and reflection exercises
I I I think it's it's quite fun uh to to
work with and basically all you have to
do is pick a shape you know maybe keep
it simple start with something familiar
like a cube or a sphere or a pyramid a
cylinder you could go maybe to a Taurus
which is a dut shape or an octahedron or
a do decahedron which is one I really
really like in any case pick something
that's quite simple and let's use an
example here using a cube let's say
you're studying A History exam on World
War II and you could more or less use
this kind of structure to help you
encode the overarching details of just
about any War actually so if you think
about assigning to a cube on its faces
the major aspects of a war you might
have on one face the front face the key
figures involved in the war maybe using
the four
corners on the back you would have major
battles and then on the top face maybe
you'd start to encode the basic timeline
so when it started and when it ended and
then on the bottom you might have causes
and effects left side you could have
maybe if they were allied powers like
World War II and then on the right side
the Axis powers Etc now let's say that
you've done this for an exam well a lot
of people I still don't understand why
this happens they say Well when you're
in your exam just go into your memory
Palace or go to your Cube memory Palace
and then recall what you placed there no
no no no no no this is Sherlock Holmes
fantasy I must go to my mind Palace
nonsense you don't want to sit in an
exam and mentally rotate cubes around in
your head to the relevant face where you
have the dates of Churchill or something
like that no you just want it to be in
your long memory so you see the question
and you answer it so in order to do that
whether it's a traditional Memory Palace
or a geometrical Memory Palace you want
to give yourself time to encode but also
to decode and use spaced repetition this
is something covered in depth Elsewhere
on this channel especially in the spaced
repetition video so you may want to go
through that thoroughly but the point is
is that you have this option not only
can you just in the void of your mind
rotate a cube around and have on the
faces or different parts of the cube
information that you want to remember
but you also have the option of placing
multiple cubes in memory palaces so if I
had a cube here that's going to give me
a number of faces that expands the
amount of space that's right here in
this part of the Memory Palace and then
I can have another one here so this no
longer is just one space but in the case
of a cube as many faces as possible in
the case of a do decahedron as many
faces as is on that object right if it's
going to be a prism then you have that
amount of spaces you've multiplied the
amount of space by having an imaginary
object there right you could do this for
example if you were studying German so
this is a little bit different uh in
terms of geometry it wasn't a sphere or
anything but I had to pass an
immigration exam in order to have
permanent residence there I had to show
language skills in German but also an
understanding of Germany so it wasn't a
sphere exactly but that country has a
particular shape and I used the shape of
Germany itself to help me remember the
bordering countries and then the bundas
sler within it and I was able to think
of where different borders were by
thinking about basic shapes so that's
another thing that you could do but you
could impose mentally a circle on it and
help yourself by dividing it into a kind
of pie shape that would give you a
better sense of quadrants right so the
Northeast quadrant versus the Southwest
quadrant that sort of thing is really
really interesting to play around with
but let's say you want to apply it to uh
just an abstract sphere right for the
parts of speech well one thing you could
do is divide the sphere this is totally
abstract and into latitudinal bands and
it would represent maybe you have the
North Pole is going to be where you
think about nouns you have the upper
Northern Hemisphere where you have verbs
like Arbon by the way this would be hard
work to do it this way but you could
because you need a really really big
sphere to have in the northern
hemisphere all kinds of words but you
know if you like Arbon well then you've
got it uh and would you fan which means
to earn uh much memory this way well
it's up to you to to explore and find
out you could have on the equater
adjectives on the lower southern
hemisphere you could have adverbs the
South Pole you could have prepositions
and Junctions something to experiment
with or you could use the longitudinal
lines to categorize words and phrases
thematically so at Zer degrees you going
to have family and relationships 90
degrees work and education Travel and
Transport at 180 90 would be food and
drink Etc but you are not going to avoid
wanting to have proper recall rehearsal
it's the key so that you don't have to
navigate to the position of Arbon in
your sphere or on your sphere to figure
out you know a verb you know or a
thematic category I doubt jordano Bruno
ever did any such thing when he had to
remember something oh I must find my
globe and the 90th degree you know no I
don't think so I think he would have
used it through reflective thinking any
geometrical shape that he used in order
to get it into longterm memory by
revisiting it on a pattern and if not
then he was probably kind of slow at
recalling information anyway if you're
loving these memory boosting techniques
you're really just scratching the
surface of what's possible so if you
haven't already taken the free course on
my site feel free to grab it using the
link in the description soon I'm going
to be opening again my inner circle
where you can access advanced training
modules there's live Q&A sessions and a
supportive community of people who love
memory and we get together and we have
these really in-depth conversations but
it's only offered to people who have at
least taken this free course so make
sure you grab that link and when
registration opens for the next Inner
Circle don't delay because we are going
deeper and deeper into these topics in
the
program now how about using a pyramid
perhaps for a simple presentation so I'm
talking about keywords and bullet points
only not like when I did my tedex talk
when I did my tedex talk I used a
traditional Memory Palace not exactly
verbatim but in some parts of that
speech totally verbatim because I had
either already memorized some Sanskrit
passages or there were Parts where I
memorize quotes there's two quotes uh
from different authors who wrote in
English in that speech and I memorize
them word for word in the Memory Palace
but if I was going to do a speech and
use say a tetrahedron or maybe just a
straight up triangle as a Memory Palace
I would I'd probably do do do this
because this is kind of like something
that I've done just based on acronyms
actually I would have just one face and
then have the speech laid out in a kind
of hierarchy of what it is that I'm
going to do so let's say you're going to
do a full-on prism right on the front
face you could have your introduction on
the left face you could have main point
one main point two on the next face and
then at the base you could have your
conclusion or you could just divide a
straight triangle into thirds and have
the introduction in subsections or key
points laid out so what I've done it's
not a triangle but it's a a pillar it
doesn't have the progression of roots in
it either but basically I have this kind
of shape in mind when I give some of my
public talks and rather than memorize a
speech for btim which would be very
unusual I just go in and then at the top
of the this pillar I have the letter F
then I have R and E and E in my mind and
while I'm talking to people I just base
my speech around F re and I won't give
that speech now but you know it's
beautiful because I am following a
pattern I know what I want to say first
I know what I want to say second third
and fourth and I just keep it very very
simple and I don't have to use a
traditional Memory Palace but I can see
myself mentally descending in this case
because I start at the top of this
pillar and move through the parts of the
free acronym and I have other acronyms
like do for example which I used to use
a lot on live streams and I'm just
mentally moving through it and you know
it just keeps things free and flowing
and it's a lot of fun and if I was just
starting and I really needed those
shapes I might think about using a
triangle or so forth but at the end of
the day I mean there there's 's no way
to use space as a Memory Palace that I'm
aware of that doesn't use space whether
it's an imagined space or a real space
there's going to be geometrical shapes
involved so no matter what you do you
got to make the journey in such a way
that you can navigate logically from
point to point to point and you do want
to use it in terms of recall rehearsal
to get it into your long-term memory
because while you're talking I can't
imagine rotating from left to right to
see different faces and somehow call
back my main points I would want them to
be in long-term memory and in a way when
you think about a traditional Memory
Palace when I'm looking in my mind to
get the information into long-term
memory moving through the Memory Palace
to
practice this it's it's me that's
rotating it's my perspective that moves
around the space stays solid but there's
still rotation around geometrical shapes
a tree is a geometrical shape or a
series of shapes Al together so really
the question is how viable is it to use
geometry and I would just say megason
too saagar Cori space is Ultimate
because it contains all things and when
I memorize that the shape is already
geometrical it's just that it's not
abstract because the corner of that
Memory Palace is fixed in space and
because it's a corner I often think of
it as an eternal
station but it's me that or my viewpoint
that rotates around the space but it is
a great mental practice and just
rotating shapes in your mind will
strengthen your visualization it will
change what you think mental imagery is
and that's a beautiful thing because
you're going to be exercising your
memory as well so the examples we talked
about today it's really just scratching
the surface of the versatility of what
you can do not just using geometrical
shapes to Source possible memory palaces
but to completely rethink what
traditional memory palaces are the cube
offers quite a structured approach for
placing information on different faces I
think it's a lot easier than a sphere
but you may resonate more with
practicing with the sphere and the prism
has the problem of you know rotating
around these different faces and it's it
doesn't exactly roll like a memory wheel
might but potentially you have with a
triangle a hierarchical structure that
may be perfect for ordering in your mind
as you're thinking about your speech
what would be the highest point that you
save for last what would be the
foundational part that you start with so
it can be useful just in terms of
organizing information even if you don't
use these shapes as the Memory Palace at
the end of the day I got one more
geometrical exercise for you that I
think you're going to love but first
thanks everybody for those thumbs up for
being subscribed if you're new here and
uh speaking of these kinds of exercises
I've got a new book coming out soon
called the memory Advantage 52 weekly
memory exercises that you can dive into
over the course of a year so make sure
that you are subscribed for
notifications about that especially on
my website and thank you thank you
always uh it's always an honor to do
these trainings for you so when it comes
to geometrical shapes one last thing you
can try assuming you have a deck of
cards and even if you don't you can look
up pictures of decks of cards actually
let's would it be all right if I did two
different additional suggestions here
for you the first and this is something
that I've practiced of and on and it's
it's a lot of fun to do is memorize
cards at the same time as you're
listening to podcast and use the cards
as a Memory Palace so if this is the
four of clubs let's say I'm going to
have my image for the four of clubs
because I got to remember that it's the
four of Clubs and as the podcast is
going I place a point on this corner so
whatever that point might be try to
imagine almost like the having a a
sphere or a fingertip right here imagine
what you're going to place on that
corner and then the next Point comes and
use that corner that corner and that
corner so that's really really
challenging and you know to be fair it
falls apart it doesn't work very well
but if you think about John Graham who
won the USA memory championships three
times and he's been a guest on the
magnetic meth the podcast at least three
times well he talks about chaos training
literally going out of your way to make
it as difficult as possible and this is
one solution that I came up with to make
things chaotic listening to a podcast
memorizing the card and then memorizing
a couple of points while I'm listening
to a podcast and then moving on to the
next card and thinking okay so George
Orwell and Animal Farm is my image for
the three of Hearts so now I've got to
remember that you know this was four
clubs I think I said and three of hearts
and so I got to remember now those two
things interacting but another four
points on the shape of the cart again it
falls apart but it's great great great
exercise so that's one thing the other
thing is that if you take just any card
I I'll use a concrete example here first
this has two wheels in it so if you use
the memory wheel technique well you
could actually have two memory Wheels on
the bicycle deck Joker and if you are so
lucky to have a black and white Joker
and a color Joker well now you've got
even more so inside of two cards you
could have four memory wheels that
encode different things and so now this
is geometry inside of geometry so you
could have the four corners and then the
two wheels each wheel has at least north
south east and west oh man this is
amazing isn't it uh not to mention the
points on the king's crown Etc and you
have the color crown and you have the
black and white crown and to get get
more
abstract you can think of all the
possible shapes just on the on the three
of Hearts right so there's the heart
shape which has multiple shapes that you
could think of unto itself and
well there's things about three if you
really think about it and how that three
is reflected throughout the deck in the
way that threes are constructed that is
actually different than how aces are
constructed this is a deep deep Secret
from the realm of magic card magic that
is that I shall reserve for the future
so as always get subscribed if you're
new here hit that thumbs up if you love
using your mind and your memory and more
trainings are coming soon on this
channel if you want to carry on with
some of these issues and think about how
to teleport from one Memory Palace to
the other whichever cards you're using
and teleport from here into a real
Memory Palace go ahead and watch my
video on how to master multiple memory
palaces next because we have some
suggestions about teleporting between
memory palaces no matter what they're
made of
