I would like to especially thank my best friend and
cousin, Dave W. McClory, who has loved me unconditionally
longer than I can remember.
I would also like to acknowledge my many brothers and
sisters who have walked with me. You know who you are.
I would like to thank my good friend and mentor, Keith
Lute, God bless his soul, for recognizing my potential and
being the inspiration that goaded me to a lifetime in the
pursuit of excellence and the study of learning.
Also, I would like to acknowledge the many experts
whose works I have read and applied. On the Book List page
I have listed their contact information for your
convenience. These pioneers in the field of learning and
education have been of inestimable help to mankind, and
their materials should be researched, studied and absorbed
by all who have embarked on the endless search for knowledge
and wisdom.
Lastly, I would like to thank Elizabeth Clare Prophet
for her perseverance on the path and spiritual teachings.
Autobiography
I was born in Pittsburgh, PA in August of 1945. My
family moved to a farm in Illinois where I lived until the
age of 5. Shortly thereafter we moved back to Pittsburgh.
In June of 1952 my mother died from cancer. On February 22,
1954, our house burned to the ground. I guess my teachers
let me slide on my homework because of early childhood
disasters and lack of supervision. My father remarried in
1956 and my stepmother would sign my report cards with the
2
comment that just because she signed the cards it did not
signify her approval. As a result of a lack of supervision
I flunked 3
rd
grade twice and never passed another grade
until I reached high school. I tried very hard in high
school and barely managed to graduate. I was not stupid,
just a slow learner. I had near perfect attendance in
school but I was a consummate daydreamer. I wasted 9 years
of grade school. I never saw a test I could not flunk.
Because of a lack of mental discipline I did not create the
normal neuron pathways. My dendrites did their own thing.
One day while in second grade I visited the corner
grocery store and bought 7 cents worth of candy. I
tendered a dime and received 3 cents change. I was
elated. I came to a very unfortunate conclusion. I could
communicate! I could calculate! I do not need school!
In third grade for the second time the teacher was
reviewing the math lesson from the previous day. She called
on me to stand up and to tell her what was the position to
left of the unit’s position. My mind froze. I could not
recall a thing. Finally, after a very long time standing
next to my desk, she announced that it was the TENS
position. I felt embarrassed and humiliated. It took me 40
years to learn that
fear blocks the higher mental processes
.
Another incident that I remember was the time we had to
memorize Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. I studied hard for a
whole week and managed to memorize the first half perfectly.
The teacher called on the guy in front of me to recite the
first half and then called on me to recite the second half.
I died again. I figured, “What is the use in trying?”
Another bad decision.
My spelling, grammar and handwriting were atrocious.
Math was not too bad but my computation was. My study
habits were nil.
After having my IQ tested in high school, I discovered
I was of average intelligence. How was it possible to have
an average IQ and be at the bottom of the class in almost
every subject?
I guess the biggest problem was that I could not
remember my lessons long enough to pass a test.
I managed a paper route for several years and worked in
a dairy store during my senior year of high school. I guess
I could be successful without academics!

I was 21 years old before I could spell my middle name
and still did not know my right hand from my left. I said,
“Why me?”
In 1968 I saw my smart friend Roy in the recruiting
office. He told me he was enlisting. I figured that I
could do electronics in the military because I did okay in
electronics classes in technical high school. After turning
in the entrance examination I asked the sergeant to give me
the electronics test. He said that I just took the
electronics test. I said, “But there were no electronics
questions.” He said that the entrance exam tested whether I
had the ability to learn electronics, not actual knowledge!
The Air Force concluded that I did not have the ability
to learn electronics!? The USAF did not factor in my desire
to become an electronics technician. So I ended up being a
dental assistant for four years.
While stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska
I met Sgt. Keith Lute. He was also from Pennsylvania and we
became instant friends. He was a master of the English
language. His eloquent speech made me an instant admirer.
We played chess and Scrabble together. He would take me
with his family on camping trips or just over to his house
on Friday nights to have dinner. It was time for me to
begin my quest to undo the damage that I had done to myself
through sheer ignorance. I ordered Sleep Learning tapes on
spelling and vocabulary and supplemented them with library
books. I attended night school for two years with the
University of Alaska.
So you ask: Why should I read a book written by a
dysfunctional flunky? Think again. I have risen to the
level of Computer Engineer while working as an electronics
technician at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. My
supervisor at CMU evaluated my skills. The only category
where I was lacking was in adapting to new situations. This
was basically the same problem I had in grade school with
comprehension and recall. That was then.
I wrote this book to help those students who have
either not connected their neurons properly or who have
given up on the system. I hope this book will make its way
into the hands of the so-called slow learners. I would also
like to see this book in the hands of anybody who would do
better if they knew better.

Being a student of learning for over 30 years and
having achieved success, I feel that I have something to
offer any sincere student.
How long shall we ignore America’s greatest natural
resource, the human mind?
Will you help me find and feed these lost sheep?
For the love of God,
Charles McClory
