People who think they are extremely self-aware are often doing nothing more than turning themselves into a permanent psychological project. Every reaction is analyzed, every emotion is interpreted, every insecurity is examined, every childhood event is revisited.
They call it awareness, but most of the time it is simply self-preoccupation with intellectual decoration around it. The ego has not disappeared, it has become the observer, the analyst, the therapist, and the patient all at once. Years can pass this way. The prison remains exactly where it was. Only the description of the prison becomes more sophisticated.
Le vieux du quartier m’a dit : « N’oublie pas que la boussole a été inventée avant l’horloge parce que la direction est plus importante que le temps. »
If you want to improve your memory, I have a technique I use that I find very useful called Memory Scenes.
It's similar to the Memory Palace technique, but rather than creating an imagined palace where you store your memories, you create a certain scene that contains what you wish to remember.
I find it much more powerful.
An example:
I often think of the topics of the tweets I want to post in a given day when I have my morning shower.
Lets say I have the following ideas for tweets:
1. A tweet about learning how to dance
2. A tweet comparing meditation to sinking into a pool of water
3. A tweet about the intelligence contained within the gut
4. A tweet about how to improve your memory
In this case, I will imagine a scene such that contains references to all of these things within a single image.
For example:
I will imagine a man who is dancing (1), inside a swimming pool (2), with a white light shining from his belly (3) and a thought bubble representing memory (4) floating above his head.
Its very easy to add more details as I think of more things I wish to remember.
I then just meditate on that scene for a short few moments, imprinting it on my memory.
Then, when it comes time to recall the memory, I just bring the scene to mind.
I find that creating a scene like this has been much more powerful for me than the Memory Palace technique.
Would be curious to see other people give it a go and report back as to whether it works for them.
Doing the work is hard, but what's even harder is not doing the work and spending the rest of your life coping with unrealized potential. The fatigue from hard work is surface-level; the regret from inaction runs deep.
