Aboriginal Memory Code

Rock Art

Long before the ancient Celts, Aboriginal people were recording vast scores of knowledge to memory and passing it to successive generations.

The people from the First Nations demonstrate that their oral traditions are not only highly detailed and complex, but they can survive – accurately – for thousands, even tens of thousands, of years.

Yet most of us struggle to remember what I did last Tuesday. So how did they do it?

Researcher Lynne Kelly was drawn to this question while investigating Aboriginal knowledge about animals for her PhD.

It was evident to Kelly that Aboriginal people catalogued huge scores of information about animals – including species types, physical features, behaviour, links to food and plants – and wondered how they do it.

A MEMORABLE THING
Aboriginal elders explained to her how they encode knowledge in song, dance, story and place. This led to a theory that may revolutionise archaeology.

It has long been known that the human brain has evolved to associate memory with place, referred to as the method of loci. This means that we associate memory with a location. How often do memories come flooding back to us when we visit our childhood haunt?

Loci (Latin for “place”), can refer to landscape features, ceremonial sites, abstract designs – anything with distinct features where information can be linked to memory.

Kelly developed this into a framework that may explain the purpose of famous sites such as Stonehenge, the Nasca lines and the Moai of Easter Island.

The meanings of these sites have been a topic of controversy for decades. What Kelly proposes in her new book The Memory Code is that sites such as Stonehenge and the Nasca lines are actually memory spaces.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
In oral cultures, knowledge is power. It is imperative that the most important knowledge be maintained and preserved by a few select custodians who have proven their worth.

In Aboriginal cultures, elders who have passed the highest levels of initiation hold the deepest levels of knowledge.

This is reflected in ceremonial sites where knowledge is passed down. Aboriginal initiation sites include a secret area where the most sacred knowledge is discussed.

We also see this at Stonehenge, where the perimeter of standing stones shields the centre of the ring, where the most important aspects knowledge are passed on through ceremony.

These sites include features that are unique in shape and form. At Uluru, the Anangu elders associate every crevice, bump, and notch around the perimeter of the mountain with knowledge that is stored to memory.

STAR MAPS AND MEMORY
But loci is not only linked to places you can touch or visit. Aboriginal people also use the stars as memory spaces.

For example, groups of stars can represent features on the landscape. Aboriginal Law Man Ghillar Michael Anderson explains how the Euahlayi people were able to travel long distances for trade and ceremony.

The Euahlayi would memorise star maps at night and learn the songs that talk about their relationship to the land. Each star was associated with a landscape feature, such as a waterhole.

Later in the year, they would sing the song as they travelled across country by day. These songline routes became the foundation of some of our highway networks that criss-cross the country.

Rather than navigating by the stars, the stars themselves serve as a memory space.

In The Memory Code, Kelly provides new insights into how oral societies are able to store vast quantities of knowledge to memory without it degrading over time.

It may explain how Aboriginal memories of land that existed before it was flooded by rising sea levels during the last Ice Age survived in oral tradition for more than 7,000 years.

To test it herself, Kelly used the technique to memorise all of the world’s countries in order of population by linking them with features around her neighbourhood, including buildings and gardens – making up her own stories for each one. And she can now recite them flawlessly.

You might be surprised how easy it is to do yourself.

Pfizer’s Clinical Trial papers prove COVID Vaccines destroy the Immune System

Covid Vax Destroys Immune System

I have discovered some extremely concerning findings in the Pfizer Phase I-II-III clinical trial data. The Sepsis death rate in the 21,926 double vaccinated group of the Pfizer Phase III Clinical trial was twenty-one times higher than normal, and the Cardiovascular death rate was two times higher than normal. 

This strongly indicates that the Pfizer Covid-19 injection does in fact cause a new form of ‘acquired immunodeficiency syndrome’, as has been suggested by a mountain of data available from the UK Health Security Agency, because sepsis is caused by failure of the immune system.

Sepsis/Septicemia results from immune system failure to defeat a microbial (viral yeast or bacterial) infection…

…Now we turn to the double vaccinated cardiovascular and sepsis rates and we see (52.9% and 23.5% death rates) compared to the general population (and the unvaccinated) who suffer only (26.3% and 1.1% or 25.3% and 0%).

And there is the toxicity of the Pfizer vaccination laid bare. It weakens the immune system to the point where people succumb to microbial infections and die at 21 times the normal rate in the first 6 months after vaccination.

When you combine these figures with the weekly 5% immune response degradation catalogued by the UKHSA from Weeks 35-41 , you start to see a picture that suggests the vaccinated are developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Immune System Change Bar Chart

However you look at this, the numbers flag up two major concerns which these days have plenty of other statistical, mass media, clinical and anecdotal evidence to support.

These findings absolutely necessitate further investigation specific to immune system degradation and cardiovascular inflammation. But Pfizer un-blinded the placebo group and permitted them to get vaccinated at the end of the 6 month trial period. So it is difficult to see how we can get any more data from Pfizer.

To be frank we are lucky to have the death data they have so far provided. Let us face facts. There are no long-term clinical trials ongoing into the safety of these vaccines. Quite the reverse in fact. For one can argue that the purpose of the Pfizer lobbied vaccine mandates is to eradicate any unvaccinated control group from existence in order to prevent a proper evaluation of vaccine side effects over the medium term.

Further evidence also exists confirming Covid vaccines destroy the immune system, in the form of an admission by the CDC in response to a Freedom of Information Request.

The CDC states that they have no record of a person with natural immunity becoming reinfected and transmitting the virus to anybody.

Whereas the UKHSA had 450,992 records of people with double vaccine immunity who became infected with Covid between October and November 2021 alone.

So it’s quite clear the Covid-19 vaccines prevent people from reaching full natural immunity by damaging and degrading their immune systems?

Prioritorising Time Allocation

Prioritorising Time Allocation

True. Whatever you make the priority will consume your time. There’s a great line I read decades ago, “The job will expand to fill the available time.”

So the tool to handle this is a block timetable where you assign blocks of time in your day and week for the tasks to which you need to or wish to allocate your time.

If you block out time for the necessities and the desirables then you are more at cause over your schedule and life.

Of course there are nearly always unforeseens that come up (like the dog peeing or pooping where he shouldn’t) and need to be handled which is why some slack to handle them is built into a well structured schedule.
