Hi my names Ron white and I hold the record for the fastest to memorise a deck of cards
in the United States. I’m also the two time national memory champion; I won in 2009 and
2010 so I am the current memory champion. 20 years ago my good friend Matthew invited
me to church and he also recently directed me to your website, the Roman’s VIII movement.
Matthew thought that I might be able to use my memory skills, the same ones that I use
to memorise a deck of cards to teach you how to memorise bible verses. I’ve been memorising
scripture using this technique for almost 20 years.
If you take my advice and do what I am going to suggest to you, you should be able to memorise
Romans chapter VIII in two days. The first day is spent mastering the system that I am
going to describe and the second day is memorising roman chapter VIII. You should have it memorised
in two days. I recently used this technique on the Martha
Stuart show when I memorised her magazine word for word.
so we gave you our magazine back stage to look at, I don’t know how many minutes you
had to look at it but I know you’re probably pretty aware of what’s on every single page
right every page but no advertising
ok no advertising
yes we don’t want you to great magazine
yeh isn’t it good yeh
oh yeh, what did I write about in this magazine for my monthly column
you wrote about page 25 from my home to yours, you wrote about your porch at your home in
Bedford. and you remember what kind of plants I had
on my porch or I can tell you the first couple of paragraphs
of that oh you can really word for word
yeh I think so, we’ll see ok
I think it says “before moving to my Bedford home I never envisioned having a cover balance
railing porch, a real outdoor room, furnished with seating areas and decorated entirely
with many usual varieties of exceptional potted plants. The porch
it looks like he’s reading right right hahaha
it looks like he’s reading but he’s not what’s balanced railing mean by the way
Martha well balanced rating is this, there that’s this railing that goes around because
if I didn’t have railing you’d fall off in the rest of the garden
ok and you’d kill yourself
so it’s a great write, a great article about your porch and the plants on the porch
so I’m going to pick a page ok I’ll look away so I do look like I’m
reading 113
page 113 is a page that had a bunch of flowers on it which was covering the whole page with
flowers look at this
(Applause) So how do I do it, how do I memorise all these
numbers or cards in record time and become a national memory champion and how do you
use this system to memorise bible verses. Well to tell you the truth it’s actually
pretty simple. Most of the people who compete in international
and national competitions such as the world memory championship or the USA memory championship
would see the task of memorising a chapter of Romans as very very simple. And after I
get done of explaining this to you, you’re going to see it as very simple as well.
The system that we all use to memorise information is called loci, L O C I and it’s a Latin
word and it menus places. The key to this system is just as you’ve seen me on several
different places on this short video here your mind has maps or places in your mind
memorised. Imagine this, imagine you went for a walk
around your home or your gym or your office or the town that you lived in and as you walked
around this town or as you walked around this neighbourhood you numbered spots or you numbered
places, different location ned then you remembered which one was two, which one was three, which
one was four, which one was five, which one was six, which one was seven. Imagine if you
did that. And then says as you took this walk you numbered
fifty spots around your town, or your home, or your office, or your school and you remembered
them and I could say “what’s number twenty five?” and you could just like that. Good
things to pick are things like desks or beds, stoves or TV’s, refrigerators or microwaves,
or if you go outside stuff like trees or a car that’s always parked in the same spot
or a mailbox or a street sign or a school or a gas station. I really like the concepts
of numbering rooms in a house. I normally would pick five rooms in a home and then I’ll
pick five pieces of furniture in a room and then that house will have twenty pieces of
furniture or twenty five pieces of furniture numbered and then I memorise them forwards
and backwards. Then this is where is starts to get fun. Then
you take a list of words, whatever you want to memorise and the first word you want to
memorise you visualise on your number one piece of furniture or what we call file. So
if the first word you want to memorise is a dog, and your first file is your bed, you
visualise a dog tearing up the sheets on your bed. Your next word is a camera and your next
file is the window, then you see a camera taking pictures of the window and smashing
through the window. If your next word is a fan and the number three piece of furniture
is a dresser, you see a fan tearing up your dresser.
It’s exactly how I memorised Martha Stuart’s magazine and how you can memorise scripture.
So here’s my living room, number one is the cabinet, number two is the balcony, number
three is the couch, number four is the computer and five is TV. One, two, three, four, five.
Then we take what want to remember and we turn it into pictures and we attach it to
these spots. The first part of the verse says “therefore there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus.” You do not have to memorise every word in the
verse. If you read the verse a few times you’re going to be familiar with it so you just need
a brain trigger. Imagine this, imagine there’s ketchup and mayonnaise and mustard and there
all dripping down there, condiments for the word condemnation, really that’s the key
word in that verse, if you want to turn more into that picture you can images Jesus in
here and then put condiments inside of him, your putting condiments in side of him and
that is the brain trigger for the verse “therefore there is now no condemnation for those who
are in Christ”. The next verse says “because through Christ
Jesus”, on this one, on my balcony right there imagine Jesus and your cousin is walking
through him, I use my cousin to represent the word because and then through Christ Jesus.
So go back to number one therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus because through Christ Jesus, then right here in this piece of furniture you see a
law book, imagine a law book right there and its being held up by a spirit, the law book
that’s being held up by a spirit, that represents the verse, “for you the law of the spirit
of life” and then on the next one “set me free from the law of sin and death” another
book right here on your computer and see an escape artist, he’s escaping, he’s getting
set free and then he falls off and dies. That picture represents for you set me free from
the law of sin and death. And then over here on your TX, imagine that your TV goes blank
and there’s nothing on your TV because they have passed a law they can’t broadcast anymore,
your TV is powerless, that represents they passed a law to make your TV powerless, that
represents “for what the law was powerless to do”
There you have it. So don’t over complicate what I’m suggesting
here, it’s really actually pretty simple. If you numbers 100 or 200 pieces of furniture
which is not that hard to do, pick four homes that you’re really familiar with, and then
number thirty pieces of furniture in each home, maybe pick a few more homes or businesses
or schools that your familiar with, number spots in them and then just walk back around
the homes mentally and you should be able to memorise Romans chapter VIII very easily.
This is the memory method used by the top memory masters in the world. The guy who holds
the record for memorising a deck of cards in twenty one seconds, Simon Reinheart, this
is how he does it. The man who holds the records for the most numbers memorised of five minutes,
a 405 digit number, memorised by Johan Mellow, this is how he does it. This is the system
used by the top memory experts in the world. I hope this was helpful and I’d love to
help you out even more on memorising scripture. If you ever want to contact me my website
is Ronwhitetraining.com, Ronwhitetraining.com, I also have website brainathlete.com, brainathlete.com.
Use this system, build files get yourself one or two hundred files and you spend one
day doing that and then the second day memorise Romans chapter VIII, there’s no reason you
can’t have Romans chapter VIII memorised in two days.
This is Ron white, the USA memory champion saying so long and I look forward to hearing
about your success.
