New Mnemonic Storybook-“Trying to be creative takes too long to "create" the desired effect!”“Learn the Major SystemThe Major System is a mnemonic technique that converts numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels, making it easier to remember long numbers. This exercise will guide you through learning and practicing the Major System using your memory journal. Step 1: Understand the Major SystemThe Major System assigns consonant sounds to digits from 0 to 9. Here is the basic code:0 = soft c, s, z1 = d or t2 = n3 = m4 = r5 = l6 = ch, j, soft g, sh7 = hard g or k8 = f or v9 = b or pYou can memorize this arranegment using a Memory Palace or think about it logically. For example, if you look at your left hand with the thumb extended, all 5 fingers will look like a kind of L. N has two downstrokes in it, 7 looks vaguely like an upside down K with parts missing, etc”“exercising your own creative muscle to come up with personal solutions.”When I was in business, as a sole proprietor  My Moniker was Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare Products Distribution-“I believe the true art of memory is not about creativity at all, but rather constraining ourselves to observation and rearrangement.”Trying to be creative takes too long to "create" the desired effect!”“Learn the Major System“magic and mnemonics produce an effect. That's exactly what you're looking for: the effect, not a debate about what counts as creativity and what doesn't.”

Illich begins his analysis by establishing the goal of the medieval reader, which Chapter 1 (Danny Thomas) shows is Wisdom, or the First Cause. This wisdom isn't relative; it's a fixed truth, much like the huge 'S' Danny is pointing at. It rests on sentences that carry their own authority, detached from the writer—the floating sentence. But how does one acquire this fixed wisdom? Chapter 2 (Nick Nolte) answers this by stressing the necessity of internal Order and Memory. Nolte's desperate need for bread shows the necessity of internalizing the text's objective order—the reader must literally press their will, like Nolte pressing his gown, into the fixed structural lattice of the text. Finally, Chapter 3 (Mickey Mouse) reveals the practical method required for this integration: Monastic Reading. The communal act of making a meal, represented by Mickey, becomes the physical, lifelong discipline of 'chewing' the text (ruminatio), transforming the reader until they literally become the text, just as Mickey's dress transforms into verses."#KennelKelp,#HolisticHealth,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#ReadingSmarter,#BillHolt,#GrandpaBill,#Trivium,#MemoryPalace,#MajorSystem,#LifelongLearning,

Welcome back, wellness seekers, to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour. I’m your host, Grandpa Bill. Today, we’re moving beyond physical vitality and diving into cognitive fitness—the deep, integrated strength of the mind.As many of you know, I’ve been a dedicated student of Dr. Anthony Metivier’s Magnetic Memory Method for years. This isn't just about passing a test; it's about building a robust, resilient mind. I’ve recently been mentoring my granddaughter, Adah, a college freshman, and her latest challenge has proven to be the most profound holistic exercise we’ve done: The Backward Walk from Metivier’s advanced curriculum.Before we even begin the walk, we must remember the lesson of Peter of Ravenna. He taught us that our memory structures—our Palaces—must be real, finished, and stable. Adah chose her quiet church. This isn't superstition; it's holistic architecture. If your environment is chaotic, your mind will be chaotic. Ravenna demands a stable, moderate space so the mind can be still.Adah built four stations for her Political Science class, encoding the clauses of the 14th Amendment using PAO and the Major System. The images are striking—a Roller Skater laughing on a tight rope for Equal Protection, and the Tin Man dancing on noodles for Citizenship. They stir the emotions, as Ravenna instructed.The problem with the Forward Walk (Station 1 to 4) is that it's easy. It’s a habit. Your brain is only saying, "Okay, I remember Station 1, so I’ll automatically look for 2." This creates a weak, linear chain. If you forget Station 3, the rest of the chain breaks.The Backward Walk—from the end to the beginning—is the ultimate cognitive diagnostic tool.When I ask Adah to go Backward to the Beginning of the Memory Palace, I’m forcing her mind to do three things, each with massive holistic benefits:Dismantle the Chain: It proves that every piece of knowledge is directly and independently anchored to its specific Place, not to the piece before it. This promotes a non-linear, resilient thinking pattern, which is crucial for problem-solving in life, not just academia.Test the Architecture: By reversing the process, we expose any weak links or "clutter" in the Memory Palace—the very chaos Ravenna warned us against. If Adah hesitates between the Altar Rail and the Baptismal Font, we know the place wasn't truly mastered, and we must revisit the station distance or imagery.Achieve Deep Presence: Dr. Metivier always stresses the three-breath pause at each station. In the reverse walk, this pause is non-negotiable. It forces deep active recall and anchors you squarely in the present moment, turning a memory exercise into a powerful form of meditation and mental centering.Holistic healing isn't just about avoiding disease; it’s about achieving mastery and calm. When Adah successfully sprints backward—from the Roller Skater back to the Tin Man—she doesn't just feel relieved; she feels profound confidence. She knows the information is integrated into the core of her mind.This ability to command your own knowledge, to retrieve information from any angle under pressure, is the ultimate antidote to mental stress and anxiety. It’s about being the director of your mental theatre, not just an audience member waiting for the play to start.So, I encourage you all to try this cognitive strength test in your own Palaces today. Choose three simple stations, encode three easy facts, and then go Backward to the Beginning. Feel the effort, feel the resistance, and then feel the immense reward of true, integrated knowledgeThank you for tuning in to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour. Until next time, stay grounded, stay magnetic, and keep those cognitive pathways clear.#TheBackwardWalk, #MetivierMethod, #PeterOfRavenna ,#CognitiveFitness ,#HolisticMemory, #GrandpaBill, #BHHealingHour, #MagneticMind,The Ravenna Foundation: Stability FirstThe Dissolution of Linear Thinking The Healing Power of Mastery

Grandpa Bill & monthly Guest Byron Athene talk-Logic-Establishing the Core Conflict1.    "Defining the Gap": We've talked about the ideal of Formal Logic versus the reality of Human Logic. Can you explain that difference in terms of a clinical symptom? What does it look like when a patient's 'psychological logic' completely overrides objective reality, and how much emotional pain does that conflict cause?Logic in Modern Therapy (CBT)2.    "Cognitive Restructuring": Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is largely about identifying and challenging illogical thinking patterns. Could you give us a concrete example of a common cognitive distortion—like 'all-or-nothing thinking'—and walk us through how a therapist logically 'disproves' that internal rule for the client?Logic in Historical Therapy (Psychoanalysis)3.    "The Logic of Dreams": You mentioned Freud's Primary Process Logic which governs the unconscious. How is the 'logic' we see in a client's dreams or neurotic symptoms actually a form of illogical problem-solving for the unconscious mind, and how does tracing that 'logic' help the analyst?Logic and Development4.    "Regressing Under Stress": Piaget showed us that Formal Operational Logic (the ability to reason hypothetically) is a late developmental achievement. When an adult is under extreme stress or trauma, do they often emotionally or cognitively regress to a simpler, more concrete logic? And if so, how does that regression make their problems seem inescapable?Logic and Emotion5.    "The Logic of Feeling": Many people use the phrase, "It felt true, so it must be true." How do you help a client separate the validity of a feeling (the feeling itself is real) from the validity of the conclusion that feeling suggests?Cultural and Contextual Logic6.    "External Logic": Logic is often treated as purely internal, but how much is a person's 'logical' framework actually shaped by their family history, cultural background, or societal environment? Can a perfectly logical person in one culture be considered wildly illogical in another?7.    "Teaching the Logic Habit": For our listeners who want to start thinking more clearly and suffering less from their own internal illogic, what is one simple daily mental exercise or habit they can adopt to begin strengthening their Formal Logic muscles and challenge their ingrained cognitive biases?#ByronAthene, #Logic, #Philosophy, #CriticalThinking ,#LogicalFallacies, #Rationality, #Mindset, #SelfImprovement, #CognitiveBias, #YouTuberInterview, #Podcast, #GrowthMindset, #PersonalGrowth, #AppliedLogic,

Grandpa Bill simply smiled and said"But look at how high you’ve grown, Adah," he replied. "A tree that grows too fast is weak. Yours is strong, rooted in daily effort. Those tiny tools are turning your wobbles into powerful steps. Keep growing, little scholar. Keep growing.

The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour: Wellness Wisdom ShowGrandpa Bill -Pisces, Narrating the Analysis:"Welcome back, seekers! Grandpa Bill here, closing out October with Tam Veilleux's Energy Almanac in hand. If the first half was about digging up our fears, this second half was about re-planting our roots for long-term growth and getting a spiritual re-calibration. The overarching theme of shifting 'Fear into Wisdom' really crystalized in the final two weeks.The first major shift came mid-month when Pluto stationed Direct in Aquarius (around the 13th/14th, though its energy was strongly felt after the 16th). Pluto's power is huge. After months of inner reflection, this transit pushed forward necessary social, technological, and collective shifts. For us, it meant the long-overdue shifts in power dynamics—in our businesses, our families, even in our communities—started to gain momentum. As a Pisces, I felt this as a powerful surge of collective subconscious change; a massive wave we had to ride with awareness.Then came the beautiful New Moon in Libra (around the 21st). This was the cosmic clean slate! Following the intense Aries Full Moon, this was the moment to set intentions for balanced relationships, new agreements, and harmony. It's the perfect energy for anyone looking to reset partnerships in business or at home—a true win-win opportunity that Venus's earlier entry into Libra had paved the way for.Right on its heels, we plunged fully into the intensity with the Sun Entering Scorpio (around the 22nd), marking the official start of the Season of Transformation. Our focus turns deep, intense, and to the emotional truth. This is when we look at shared resources, intimacy, and the shadow aspects we're still confronting—perfectly echoing Tam's monthly theme.But for me, as a Pisces, the most resonant event was Neptune Re-entering Pisces (Retrograde) on the 22nd. This is a Spiritual Re-calibration. Neptune is our co-ruler, and its dip back into its home sign brought back themes of dreams, compassion, and the subtle realms for a second look. It was a time to check our spiritual boundaries and clear up any illusions that were still clouding our intuition. It truly grounded the holistic healing we talk about right here on the show.Finally, the month closes out with Mercury entering Sagittarius (around the 29th) in opposition to Uranus. This opens the mind, encourages the expansion of faith and trust, and disrupts old thought patterns for one last burst of authentic self-expression. We end the month not just having faced our fears, but having successfully alchemized them into genuine, long-term wisdom."Grandpa Bill's Pisces Energy Almanac Recap (October 16th - 31st, 2025)TitleTransformation Finale: Scorpio Season, Neptune's Reset, & Pluto’s Power Surge#,TransformationFinale #PlutoDirect #NewMoonLibra, #SpiritualReset, #OctoberAstrology,#New Moon Focus,T#NewMoonMagic #LibraNewMoon #RelationshipReset, #BalancedLiving, #EnergeticReset,#Planetary Shifts,#Pluto Direct & Neptune's Dip, #Harnessing Massive Change, #Inner Alignment,#PlutoInAquarius, #NeptuneInPisces, #CosmicCalibration, #IntuitiveAlignment, #Astrology2025,#Scorpio Season Focus,#ScorpioSeason, #EmotionalTruth, #ShadowWorkHealing, #Depth and Growth, #HolisticHealingHour,#Holistic/Healing Focus, #ClaimYourPower, #FearToWisdom, #WellnessWisdom #GrandpaBill, #Tam Veilleux,
