DISCOVERING THE MEMORY YOU
DIDN'T KNOW YOU POSSESSED.
The "ALPHA 3"
Course of Memory Training is the outcome of many years of study
and research into all known systems of developing the faculty of
memorising. Ancient and modern method, as a result, an
astonishingly simple system which enables even dull minds to
achieve remarkable results with the minimum of effort. This
system incorporates principles as old, at least, as the ancient
Greeks, as well as others from the Middle Ages and modern
times. It is based upon simple faculties possessed by every
human being. Few people know how to use the mental power they
have. We are not referring here to any mysterious or unusual or
rare faculties: we refer to the most commonplace everyday
abilities such as seeing, hearing, feeling, knowing, realising.
These faculties are not used to one hundredth of their capacity
by the ordinary person. Certainly not one person in a thousand
realises what a wonderful memorising power he actually already
possesses - until he is shown. This Course shows you how to
discover the memory you didn't know you had.
THE ABSOLUTE SIMPLICITY OF THE COURSE
We insist on
the fact that the ordinary person has no difficulty whatever in
mastering the methods put forward in this Course. The reason
for this is that, as we mentioned above, it merely calls for the
simple exercise of qualities already possessed by every human
being. You are not asked to master a new and difficult
technique. You are merely shown how to do what you have always
done with your mind, but to do it in a new way - and a very easy
way.
We are not
exaggerating in the tiniest degree in this booklet. Every
statement made here has been proved up to the hilt hundreds of
times. We draw attention to that fact because many people,
hearing for the first time the claims we make on behalf of the
average mind, simply cannot believe these claims. They do seem
unbelievable. It is unbelievable that a slow and dull student
can be turned in a few weeks, without any mental effort worth
mentioning, merely by exercising faculties he has been using all
his live, into a quick and accurate learner. It seems
incredible to suggest that, for instance, a salesman joining a
new firm and handling, say, several hundred articles, could
comfortably learn the prices of them all in an hour or so. It
does not seem possible to claim that by means of a steady
application of the system any ordinary person can remember
everything he or she may read or hear.
SOME STARTLING FEATS
We make even
more ambitious claims than that. We know that the ordinary man
or woman can do, with the aid of this system, things that are
almost completely impossible without it. Take an example or
two. If a friend were to shuffle a pack of cards and then deal
them out one at a time before you, could you tell him, when he
had finished, the name of the 3rd, the 19th, the 25th, the 17th
or any order forwards or backwards?
This system shows you how to do this.
Could you
multiply a five-figure number by a four-figure number, in your
head, without putting pencil to paper?
This system
shows you how to do that...
Such feats,
of course, are of little or no practical value - they are merely
interesting as examples of the extraordinary things the ordinary
person can do with his or her mind, when it is directed into the
right channels.
Note the word
"ordinary". It is deliberately chosen. This is a Course, not
only for the ordinary mind.
NEGLECTED EDUCATION
For the
reason the course is a wonderful boon to people whose education
has unfortunately been sketchy or unfinished. It enables such
people to catch up on lost ground at a surprising rate, and to
overcome in a very short time the serious handicap that
insufficient education imposes upon a man or woman today.
Backward
children find that it improves their capacity to learn by
hundreds per cent, that it improves their whole mental make-up,
and raised them to a position of equality with children who have
in the past, often outstripped them. Parents have found that
this Course removes from the child's mind in a few weeks, at
most, the fatal feeling of inferiority, which attacks some
sensitive children and makes them appear backward, when, as a
matter of fact, all they need is to be shown how to use their
faculties properly in order to show their real ability.
THE STUDENT'S MEMORY
It is obvious
that upon his memory depends every student's success.
Practically every student's success. Practically every subject
of study from the simplest elementary facts to the complex and
elaborate details of a university course, makes a tremendous
call upon the memory. The very idea of "learning" is merely
another way of expressing "memorising". Learning is
remembering. Without a good memory the student is handicapped
from the very beginning. We feel that it is not going too far
to maintain that the "ALPHA 3" Memory Course ensures the success
of every student who studies and applies it. It is the open
sesame to scholastic success.
THE PROFESSIONAL PERSON'S MEMORY
The memory
plays an absolutely crucial part too, in the professional man's
life. A lawyer who has complete command of all the facts
relating to the matters that concern his clients has an
obviously tremendous advantage over the lawyer whose memory is
liable to let him down on details. The doctor holds life and
death in his hands. No - not in his hands, but in his head, for
upon his memory quite as much as upon his skill depends his
capacity to diagnose, compare and cure illness. And so it goes
through all professional activities; the accountant needs a good
memory; the clergyman must have a good memory; the teacher
depends directly upon his memory for his livelihood. To every
professional man or woman this Course offers the boon of an
utterly reliable memory with (let us repeat) the very minimum of
effort needed to acquire it.
THE BUSINESS PERSON'S MEMORY
It is a
curious fact that the outstanding successes in the business
world have, practically without exception, had remarkable
natural memories. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, Lord Melchett,
Lord Northcliffe, Lord Beaverbrook - these names spring to mind
at once as those of men who were capable of assimilating and
holding in their minds for instant use an absolutely incredible
number of facts relating to the most diverse ramifications of
the vast concerns they controlled! The mark of the executive
genius is his power of grasping and retaining the facts about
every branch of his business and myriads of other facts which
might conceivably be of value to him at some future time. He
knows how to delegate authority, it is true, but even more
vitally he knows how to know what the authority he delegates
does. A successful business man with a bad memory is a
contradiction in terms. Upon memory depends success. Other
factors, of course, are also required, in business, as in every
other field of human endeavour. But memory is undoubtedly the
keystone of the arch.
THE MEMORY IS THE ESSENTIAL
CHARACTERISTIC OF HUMANITY
It has been
pointed out that man alone, among the animals, has a complex
memory. Dogs, horses, cats can remember a limited number of
simple sense-experiences - sights, smells, sounds, and so on.
But man alone can store his memories, compare and utilise them,
use them for the fashioning of his life, for the achievement of
success and the unique pleasure that control over our minds
gives us. It stands to reason, then, that the more efficient a
man's memory is, the greater the control he can exercise, not
only over himself, but over others. He has an automatic "start"
in a race where his competitors are handicapped by the lack of
control that a bad memory always means.
The "ALPHA 3"
Memory Course guarantees that control. In a few hours, the main
principles of the Course can be understood.
In a few
weeks they can be completely mastered and applied. This is
emphatically not merely the simplest, it is also the speediest
and most effective method ever devised for developing the unused
memory we all possess by the mere fact of being human. It is
our unvarying experience that every student of this course is
astonished at himself, after an hour or two's experience of what
the system enables him to do. You simply cannot realise what
you can do, in your own mind, after a few short hours, until you
follow the simple directions which comprise this system, and
grasp the striking facts by actually doing what would have
previously seemed impossible to you.
HOW THE SYSTEM IS TAUGHT
The "ALPHA
3" System of Memory Training consists of eight lessons. The
student is invited to read the first lesson, which will take
about half an hour to do carefully. In this lesson he is given
certain instructions of a highly practical kind to carry out.
He is told exactly what to do and how to do it. He is shown how
to practise the processed described. He will derive very great
enjoyment and benefit from these exercises of the mind - and we
guarantee, will be able to astonish, not merely his friends, but
himself by what he can do - after half an hour's mild study!
When he has mastered this lesson he writes out the answers to a
series of test questions, which appear at the end of the
lesson. The student will have an adult questioning their
results, using the Course Books as a guide and advise of their
success. If you need us - phone or email us for answers to your
problem/s.
When the
first lesson is mastered (and this should take only a few days,
practising the methods laid down for, say half an hour a day),
the second lesson is read and used, in the same way, and again
the student answers the test questions, and gets our criticism
and help before going on to Lesson Three.
The same
procedure is followed for each of the eight lessons. The whole
Course takes the average person rather less than six weeks to
master thoroughly. But after the first few hours (not weeks) it
is applied to your daily life, and to your work. The basic
essentials are all quite clear from the beginning, and the
system develops in a simple, pleasant-and-easy-to-follow fashion
from first lesson to eighth.
NOT MERELY A MEMORY SYSTEM
It is a very
important fact to note that although we present this as a method
of developing the memory, pure and simple, and not as a vague,
general system for developing the mind as a whole, - in spite of
this fact, the "ALPHA 3" System has astonishingly beneficial
effects on certain other mental faculties. It gently, almost
subconsciously, develops the power of concentration. It does
not set out to do this; it just happens that by merely following
instructions, the student finds that his ability to concentrate
has apparently miraculously, been enormously strengthened.
Again, it develops the imagination faculties. It actually
trains the imagination to develop along constructive lines.
This is a deliberate and conscious part of the training, and one
of its most important benefits. Upon the imagination rests the
progress of the world - all the thinkers, all the inventors, all
the writers, poets, musicians, artists, all the great leaders
and business men have known how to use their imaginations, how
to envision new, more beautiful, more powerful, more beneficial
creations. That marvellous faculty can be developed in every
human being. It is not the least of its achievements that this
course compels the student to develop his imaginative power.
The combined
development of concentration and imagination has its inevitable
effect upon the Will. The power that the student feels welling
up in him as he progresses with the Course, helps to direct his
will into the channels most beneficial to his life and
happiness.

merest skeleton of what the Lessons contain but they make clear
the remarkable breadth of application of the System and the
completeness with which it revolutionary change in outlook. It
quite literally and exactly changes the direction in which your
mind works. It takes faculties which you have been using all
your life, strengthens and freshens them, practically, so that
your whole mental outlook is radically changed for the better.
A veritable painless revolution!
It is
absolutely essential that the reader should clearly realise that
this Course, in spite of its far-reaching effects on personality
and character, is extraordinary simple. We wish to insist on
that. There is no difficulty, no straining or striving, no
pressure put upon the mind. Actually it is easier to remember,
to concentrate, to develop a mental quickness and power by this,
the correct and natural way, than it is by the old slipshod
happy-go-lucky, hit-or-miss methods that most people adopt
simply from never having been shown the better method.
This absence
of difficulty, the speed with which our methods are mastered,
the astonishing difference they make to one's mental make-up, as
a whole. In addition to the really startling effects on one's
memorising power - these are the basic features of the Course
that hundreds of students who have applied themselves to it.
