Phenomenal Memory, known as Pmemory to the who have gone through it, is a 60 lesson course that teaches you the
fundamentals to memorize anything, even, as their website claims, entire books.
In Russia, there is a guy known as Vladimir Kozarenko. He is well-known for making a system of memorization, and
writing several books on memory. According to Pmemory, he’s a highly sought after lecturer and speaker over in that
country.
Kozarenko created a memorization system called the Giordano Memorization System (GMS). A man by the name Ruslan
Mescerjakov went through it (in Russian), and was so impressed with it, he created the course in English, for English-
speaking people to take a part of.
The Giordano Memorization System uses images and visualization to help you memorize anything you need to.
Pretend you want to memorize a list of something, like a shopping list, or a list of exotic animals. To memorize the list,
you could memorize it with rote memorization – that is the process of saying it over and over again, to make sure it sticks
with you.
GMS works a little differently. Instead of using rote memorization, they use the process of association, as well as
visualization, to memorize something.
Apples, Cocoa Powder, Plastic Plates, Coffee, Noodles, Yogurt, Meat, Eggs.
Because it’s a short list, you could easily memorize it with rote memorization. But what if you memorize it by associating
each thing with a certain image, and memorized it by visualizing that image in your mind?
It’s with these basic principles that The School of Phenomenal Memory is founded on. To get a better idea, and several
exercises worth trying, take a look at their introductory lesson, which explains in more detail how to memorize through
visualization.
You’ll learn how to store information using the chain method, the Cicero method, and even the FAT (Free Association
Technique) method. You’ll even learn how to make a strategy to memorize a book, from memorizing just the table of
contents, to memorizing the entirety of the book in question.
When you start the course, the creators tell you to plan to do a lesson in about 2 hours. Some people take a little more, and
some less.
The reason it’s so long (2 hours per lesson), is because you’re training your mind to start thinking differently, and because
as you train for extended periods, you’ll start to be able to use that in day-to-day things, like memorize a 2-hour lecture
that you’re a part of.
With 60 lessons to get through, this course isn’t for the squimishy of heart. Some have completed the course in 60 days,
while most take around 3-4 months to finish the course.
The first course is 12 lessons long. In this course, you begin to lay the foundation of what GMS was founded on. You’ll
learn to memorize large amounts of data, up to 100 elements in just one exercise. You’ll learn how to properly use various
techniques, and practice a lot with your visualization, in order to clearly see all that you’re memorizing.
Many can get caught up with the first course, because they don’t see any correlation with what their memorizing and how
to apply it to everyday life. But, in reality, the first course is teaching you how to memorize, so that, when you progress
further, you won’t be confused when you’re taught what to memorize.
It’s like learning an instrument. You’ll start out learning a lot about the technique of playing the piano, like, for example,
where to place your hands, how to keep your fingers curled, etc. If you follow the technique, you’ll do so much better
when you actually go to play a certain song on the piano.
In the second course is when you finally put your techniques to use. Over the span of some 12 lessons, you’ll learn to take
information, and store it in a database that you can easily search through within your mind. The process is fairly simple.
As you progress through these lessons, you’ll learn the steps of reviewing the material that you’ve memorized, as well as
memorize some 125 pieces of information (all of which, you’ll keep in the first database that you’ve made).
At the end of the second course there is a simple little test, where they’ll ask you to recite certain parts of your database, in
order to make sure you’ve actually been doing the work, as well as showing you just how easy it is to search through your
database.
The great thing about the course is that if you’re interested in learning a different language, it is easy enough to learn how
to memorize a foreign language, and apply it to your specific language. In these 11 lessons, they teach:
Course 4 is where many people are interested in getting to. In this course of 16 lessons, you’ll learn the art of memorize
entire books, and well as seeing how easy it is to memorize lectures, and even recite lectures and speeches, all from
memory.
You’ll learn how to take apart books, so that you can memorize them more efficiently, as well as how to use various
methods of memorization together, so that you can quickly and easily memorize those books.
It should be said that it’s not a complete memorization. While you can memorize the books word-for-word, that takes a lot
of effort, and a lot of planning.
The memorization you’ll mostly be doing, is taking the phrases in the books, putting them in your own words, and
memorizing them that way. While it will result in slightly different wording/phrasing on your end, you’ll achieve the same
idea as what the book was trying to convey.
Have you ever wanted to be able to memorize your credit card info, or all the phone numbers of you family members?
Have you wanted to be able to remember the serial numbers of a particular product that you’re trying to fix?
If so, then this course is just for you. In it you’ll learn how to memorize and remember long passwords, so that you can
keep your accounts safe. You’ll also learn how to remember bank info, pins, and any other number-type-thing you want to
memorize.
In this course, they’ll also teach you how to make strong passwords, how to remember zip codes and where people live, as
well as fax numbers, and email addresses.
