Mark simply transferred the imagery from the Yom Kippur festival and applied it to the trial of Jesus. One lamb or goat was killed for our sins and one had the sins of the people symbolically transferred to him, after which he was chased away. He says the original crucifixion story could have been related to Yom Kippur. They chose to release Barabbas and to crucify Jesus.John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that in his research, Spong has been able to find no evidence that there was a custom of releasing a prisoner at the time of the Passover. In the crucifixion story, the Jews were asked to choose between Jesus, the Son of the Father, and Barabbas, whose name also means, in Hebrew, Son of the Father.

This is the ability that Temple Grandin and Nikola Tesla described as a vivid, lifelike, photorealistic visual imagination.Why did the crowd choose to free Barabbas the murderer but wanted Jesus crucified and what does this tell us about human behaviour? However, I don't plan on becoming autistic through my efforts, or even gaining a perfect memory, but rather "eidetic imagery." I know autistic individuals struggle with more brain activity than the average person, and I'm glad you have found something that helps. Its really hard to find the right words and if I had enough time I could fill books of how it does feel to live with that condition. So what I mean is that to much brain power is not always fun as you have to keep everything in balance or it will escalate and leaves you in a state of awkwardness and confusion.Īnyway, I hope I could somehow illustrate my thoughts on this topic. On the other hand substances like NMDA antagonists (like ketamine or diphenidine) and gaba agonists or positive allosteric modulators are helping a lot with my symptoms.
#Eidetic imagery autistic how to
Now I am almost 20 years old and over the past years I did intensive research and self experimented to figure out how to control my memories and keep my mind cool.Īll in all it seems everything potentiating glutamatergic signaling (modafinil and sunifiram would be examples) worsens my symptoms, gives me headaches or exaggerates visual disturbances (crazy blurring vision, flickering, color changes, etc.). Nothing is filtered and all the memories are circulating in my mind. Since elementary school I am not able to sleep without medication because my brain is flooded with all the stuff happened over the day. The huge problem is about keeping everything organized and in control. Well, I was born with autism spectrum disorder (more specific Asperger syndrome) and I really dont know if you want to achieve this "ability".Īnd yes I ve got this so called photographic memory but it doesn't make life easier. I have tons of ideas for how to develop this ability once sufficient neural plasticity has been established, and I am also interested in other experiments to correct early life emotional development phases while in this state as well. That topic didn't have any replies, so I want to discuss that here. I doubt without reopening this early "critical period" that it would be possible to develop this ability fully later in life. I came across this thread which was very interesting to me: It seems that many of the autistics that developed this amazing mental imagery ability may have done so because they developed verbal abilities later than normal, and had to rely on mental imagery for thought more than the average person did in early life. And about the various neurological differences and brain connections that seem to be very overdeveloped and probably contribute to the ability to visualize "photorealistically." I have been reading about autistic savants who have this ability, for example Temple Grandin.

I am interested in, among many other things, developing an eidetic memory.
