Mnemonics vs. Pneumnemonics

A mnemonic device, or memory device, is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval in the human memory. ^[1]

Dennis Congos ^[2] identifies nine types of mnemonic devices. These devices consist of ideas imposes upon the subject matter to be learned that have no relationship to the subject, but are merely mental hooks to assist in the retrieval of information from memory. And example is the classic "Roy G. Biv" used to remember the order of colors in the rainbow. In Music theory, "Every good boy does fine" helps remember the notes associated with the lines on the score. The mnemonic devices aid only in memory and add no new information. One must learn gibberish in order to remember the important information.

Imagine if the knowledge of "Roy G. Biv" could assist in helping you to understand more sophisticated concepts of color, rather than simple the order of colors in the rainbow. What if it told you something about how each color affects emotions, or contributes to heat retention. What if "Every good boy does fine" helped to define chords, melody, or to understand music.

Pneu-mnemonics does just that. As you learn the Hebrew alphabet, the memory tools form a catechism of doctrine. They also help one shift from a Western-Greek way of thinking, to an Eastern-Hebrew thought process. There is a look-ahead function, where the mnemonics learned for the alphabet, get built upon as you learn vocabulary.

Mnemonics are invented, based on studies of how the human mind works. Pneu-mnemonics are observed in scripture, placed there by the one who invented the human mind.

The nature of learning

The chair

You have entered a foreign land and no one speaks your language, not do you speak theirs. the master of the house points to a chair and says "beebop". So you point to the chair and repeat "beebop" assuming he is teaching you the language. He has you beaten. He was commanding you to sit. The idea behind "beebop" was not the same in your head and his.

To pass an idea from one head to another, there must be sufficient shared experience with the idea. A servant has been assigned to teach you your manners, but he is cleaver enough to understand that you don't know the language. He points to the chair and says "beebop" then sits in it. He points to the rug and says "aybop" and sits on it. He points to the chair again and says "beebip" and begins to clean it. He points to the rug again and says "aybip" and starts to clean it.

You determine from this short interaction that a chair is a 'bee' and a rug is an 'ay'. You also determine that 'bop' means to sit and 'bip' means to clean. You have collected experiences around the symbols; the words, which now form the basis for the ideas.

Understanding is a process of filtering experiences in various contexts. Consider the word 'bear'. It is used in the context of carrying things, and also in the context of the zoo. The other words around it help to filter your experiences with 'bear' to understand what the current context means.

Adam

The servant who taught you 'beebop' forced four experiences into your head which helped you filter the ideas and produce understanding. Hebrew does a similar thing, but in a different way. Hebrew pneumnemonics would take the chair apart, and teach you what a leg, seat and back are, then put it all back together.

Ground

The Hebrew word for 'ground' is adamah אדמה.

The ground is where Adam came from אדמ. It is Adam the doesn't understand ה.

The ground doesn't understand, but apparently Adam does. We are told as much later. When Adam sinned, he was not deceived like the woman. ^[3]

Adam

Adam אדם ^[4] is made of the Spirit א and the blood dam דם.

Blood

Blood dam דם is the commandment ד fulfilled by the Son ם.

The mnemonics for Hebrew contain more information about the subject being learned. You will quickly see that the system of pneumnemonics is not imposed upon the language like common mnemonics, but is observed to already be there.
