@AnthonyMetivier Perhaps that price can motivate someone to seek the source. @AnthonyMetivier has linked many free older original texts. Either pay for the distillation or work through original Greek work (for memorization texts)
@kkmemorise@dmvmemorytips@Celine_Memory Walking through virtually can simulate a real experience. Look up, down etc to specific spots. Might help in some circumstances. Stairs for example have a certain “feeling”
