Giordano Bruno devices over 30 different kinds of Memory Palace. Ars Combinatoria is just one, and it is very powerful.

Sometimes called The Combinator, this memory wheel is a mixture Memory Palace of his "seals" called The Field and The Tree.

Seals are something we'll explain later in The New Art of Memory Playlist. If you're new here and need to catch up, you can start the series here:

Let me know in the comments if you give this "Decision Memory Palace" a try. Obviously, you will want to meet the "requirements" Giordano Bruno has in mind before the real results start kicking in, but I believe using these techniques can itself help get you there.

Who was Giordano Bruno and what is a Memory Palace?

Although you may have heard that he is a hermetic wizard and whatnot from Frances Yates, it is not clear that this was the case. I throw some nuance on the topic in this analysis of her book, The Art of Memory:

   • The Art of Memory: Frances Yates, Gio...  

My thesis is that Bruno was simply a very good master of the Memory Palace technique and quite likely someone who experienced what we sometimes call "enlightenment."

If this is the case, the feelings he described as being achievable by anyone likely arrived because he trained his procedural memory through extensive memory practice and use of the method of loci.

He also used his memory to work on topics like math, physics and philosophy and seems to have started quite young. He lived from 1548 to 1600 when he was burned at the stake.

This is a sad outcome, but fortunately many of his memory improvement books survived. We are very blessed to have them and I look forward to diving deeper into more of them in future videos.
