The Big Idea
This is my second experiment in memorization after Memorizing the Lords Prayer. This time I want to try using spatial and imagination to add another layer to the ten commandments.
I have always had issues recalling them by number so this will be interesting to see what additional memory strategies may be able to add.

Layer One - Two Great Commandments
Matthew 22:36-40 ESV
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Love God Hook
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind
Love Neighbor Hook
You shall love your neighbor as yourself
