It’s not the typical way we learn, memorize and recall in our culture (in fact we effectively don’t memorize at all), but its historical precedence goes back to the Grecian scholars and perhaps even further back. My guess is that this method of learning has fallen out of practice in part because we have such easy access to printed publications, and so it’s not important to remember anymore. I don’t know a more effective way to memorize quickly and retain longer than the techniques mentioned in the book. In fact, you become capable of memorizing at a level that most think is impossible.

I have always wondered if the command to bind God’s Word to the hand or forehead, or to inscribe it on your doorposts or your gates were an allusion to the peg method and loci method, except in Scripture you are using physical reminders rather than mental. You might even say the same about the command to fix blue tassels to your cloak. Adam Clarke believed the passages alluded to the ancient practice of attaching physical reminders to yourself (eg. knot on the finger) to aid your memory. “Unlimited Memory” varies by instructing you on the use of mental–not physical–reminders.

“God, who knows how slow of heart we are to understand, graciously orders us to make use of every help, and through the means of things sensible, to rise to things spiritual.” – Adam Clarke
