Trouble Retaining Knowledge

[Drea]

I've found that after I get done reading the material on here it is difficult for me to recall what I had read. Part of the problem is the candida thing and being fuzzy headed. Also, I believe one of my programs is the rejection of knowledge that came from years of trying to avoid my school work. Only recently am I realizing just how much I am not taking with me from my reading experiences here and how handy it would be if I could just remember.

This was one of the topics that came up with my other half a couple of days ago, and he told me he creates shortcuts from keywords that help him remember other important things. Perhaps I never learned the proper way to learn! One of the ways that helps me is to write things down, but with the mounds of information here, writing seems too time consuming. It would be interesting to know the processes that some of you go through to help retain and categorize information.

By the way, if there is another topic like this I apologize, but could not find it and would be interested in the link.

Hey drea, I am also kind of new here and yes, it is hard remembering everything you read especially considering the sheer volume of information there is. In my opinion I dont think it is possible for anyone to remember everything they read. Especially if it is for the first time. I also think that the issue shouldnt be remembering but understanding, asking yourself if what you've just read makes sense to you... However, I do think the more you cover, the more you learn the easier it will become to remember. I read somewhere that new information is put into the short term memory part of your brain. If you dont refer to this information again or use it, the brain will just forget it or put it down the pecking order as it has quite alot of information to process.. The key is to keep on going, keep reading, keep thinking about it, try and understand it, maybe talk to other people here about what you've read and how you think it relates to you. This way the mind will not forget this easily. Atleast this what I think.

So maybe the problem is not utilizing the information. It isn't very often that I get to discuss the things I have learned. This reminds me of doing homework. It always seemed pointless, but it was the only thing to really get things sticking in the mind. I just got an idea though. My mother told me she used to doodle and color code things when she was in college. If I made some kind of activity out of learning I might be better off.

I'm curious about the EE breathing. I have not gotten the chance to complete the exercise all but for once, because of pain during the breathing. It seems to me if EE could clear out some programs, maybe my brain would stop trying to run so much at once. It feels like I'm on overload all the time. ..Brain lag

Hi Drea,

I don't have a method but I think it helps to read and re-read what's available whenever you have the time and keeping notes or questions that pop up in your head might indeed help.
Things won't always make sense at first but the more you'll keep reading the more it will "click" and make sense, then you'll know and won't forget :)

Sure try the EE program again as it can tremendously help, maybe try to do it gently to avoid any discomfort or pain.

Thank you both for replying and so quickly too. I will try the breathing part of the program laying down next time. When I really start making some progress with my diet I think the fuzzy head and pain will start clearing up a bit. As for now, I'm going to set a little station up on my desk for notes and doodles.

Hi Drea.

Perhaps one way of approaching this is to concentrate on the spark which drew you here in the first place, rather than trying to remember things verbatim. For me, it was the issue of psychopathy, which due to my own life experiences and experiences of those around me, wholly grabbed my interest. I couldn't read enough about it but as with all things, it's not an isolated subject unto itself; it overlaps with other topics and so, you quickly find your reading material diversifies and understanding expands exponentially.

Einstein once said, don't waste your brain power trying to remember that which can be readily referenced .. or words to that effect. I can't say if it's true for everyone, but I find that through a propper understanding of a principle or concept, remembering becomes almost irrelevant. The brain can quickly rerun the logical processes needed to reattain the answer in most cases. I've tried to concentrate on understanding, rather than remembering detail

Changing your diet, doing the EE program AND taking the right supplements are all very important to detoxifying the mind, body and emotions. Which will help you in many other aspects such as thinking critically and remembering, along with starting to "see" things in a more objective light, along with eventually connecting you to your higher consciousness, or subconsciousness....or whatever you may want to call it. The benefits are too numerous to mention.

I would like to suggest that you read the Ultra Mind Solutions Quizzes section and take the tests to see which supplements would most help you. Also browsing and reading the thread in the Diet and Health section for other ideas will greatly benefit you.

Good luck. :)

Hi Drea,

You've received some great advice, and the one thing I'd add to it is to be patient with yourself. The material here is extensive, and takes time to absorb. Often it happens that in order to understand one concept, you need knowledge of other concepts, and gradually things start to fit together and make sense and become knowledge that you will remember. As the C's often say, take it step by step!
