Who is Martin Faulks?

In addition to being a memory expert, he is an expert in the field of meditation.

On top of that, he’s a martial artist, yoga teacher, and author of over half a dozen books on subjects such as enlightened living and tai chi.

His newest book, A Mosaic Palace: Freemasonry and the Art of Memory explores the link between the ancient tradition of memory techniques and the secretive fraternal organization, the Freemasons.

In our conversation we explore memory as an internal transformative art that can change the very core of our being just in dedicated practice.

He argues that while in antiquity inner transformation through memory was a common association, but it has been lost in our modern age. The secret then to restoring this idea lies in your approach to committing to the techniques themselves.

Our talking points in this video interview include:

Memory training and the potential for learning leading to inner transformation (and how what you put into your consciousness can change who you are)

How the Renaissance caused the art of memory to become a path of cultivation of virtue instead of simply utilitarian

How Memory Palaces are useful as a form of meditation

The impact of adaptive strategies on our personality and coping and life skills

The way your mind is always trying to help you

The method in which you learn something affects how easy it is for you to reference it

Why the church banned texts like the Ars Notoria as a “sorcery version of memory”

How the memory method of corporeal similitudes is the most powerful way to create associations for memory

The debate about whether Sherlock Holmes is a figure to look up to (otherwise known as a hero of an extra level of functioning) to when it comes to memory goals

Comparing and contrasting memory and sorcery, and memory palaces and magic circles

Why Giordano Bruno was a memory master and “terrible” teacher

The differences in the definition of a memory master according to various cultures
