Hello
i have the self study guide.Paul scheele said that you need with photo reading at the beginning around 1/3 of the time then with normal reading by the same understanding.But how much time do you need when you are not anymore a beginner?
Have a great day

I have to say that I dont think their is any limit. Everybody who photoreads, and does it normally contiunes to become faster and faster, and makes their consious/ subconsious mind connections greater and greater.

Like almost everything else in life. If you work hard and practice you will become better and better.

Benny, just out of interest, would you elate me with a bio of your progress to date?

I've made a lot of progress myself with activation working beautifully and consecutively better each time, but I remember you when I was just starting out and whining of the whole progress so I'd like to really hear of your progress thus far.

Happy Holidays by the way Benny

When you're no longer a beginner you'll work through each book on the time you merit it to be worth. Some books you'll be done in 20 to 30 minutes (or just by photoreading at the bookshop, you'll know whether you want to activate the book further) Others will be 1/3 the time of regular reading because you want/need to know more from the book. Others you'll allow yourself the luxury of a regular read falling near your current regular completion time.

Only when you understand the significance of purpose when it comes to reading are you no longer a beginner.

Alex

I have one question more.
When i photoread a book and then start aktivation on the next day,but i could not finish my aktivation because i had a lot to do.Can i still aktivate on the next day?
Have a great day

I think your question is answered with the 5 day test where one activates the book a little bit each day.

Alex

yes thats right.
i am sorry i had forgotten it.
Have a great day

I appreciate your insight to this Alex I have been photoreading on and off since 8/2001 when I got the self study. Only about aug this year have I found the purpose to be the axis on which pring turns.

I spent a lot of time being frustrated that I wasn't immediately having the success I wanted. I now know that if you follow the steps of the system and just use it you'll get the fastest results. I think it took me almost two years to follow the directions.

Phew! 2 years... Yet I can totally relate to that. It's absolutely enigmatic as to why it seems to be so difficult for us to simply follow a series of steps as-given! Fortunately, for me it's only taken two months instead of years...I'm activating at least twice a day now in order to use my WHOLE mind!

Yeesh. Maybe it would have been more obvious if I had invested the extra two hundred dollars on the tapes!?

Oh well. The hardest part is certainly over hehe. Now, practice, practice, practice. Yes, I must use that word. Because otherwise I might not get to it

Glad you're having success, fritz.

Thats interesting.. that purpose is so important. Being the kind of guy who really wants to get in the head of a successful photoreader, im curious as to how some of you strengthen your purpose, how you get it rolling. I get the impresssion from the tapes/book that i am merely to state it once and then go on. Would it be wise to sit down and talk to myself a bit about my purpose? really imprint it into my mind? Unfortunately.. when i photoread or activate, i totally forget about my purpose.. in fact, i have to think a second or two in order to remember what it was, and its usually something simple like "i desire a general understanding of the concepts in this book". and as i have mentioned before, im have been coming out dry. perhaps this purpose thing is the reason..? i dunno, just some thoughts.

Your purpose becomes like a thirst for knowledge. Just to desire something out of a book for me is wussie. It has to be significant if I'm going to invest time in it.

If I see a book titled "Use More of Your Mind" my question is yeah, right how? What tricks do you have that I don't already know? How do you substantiate that and how easy or complicated is it for me to apply? Do you expect me to stand on my head and wiggle my ears my ears to master how to remember a shopping list? How long does it take to learn?

As you can see my purpose to learn how to use more of my mind is in agreement with the title of the book. My questions are based upon my personal line of experience and naturally colour my questions. Comparing what I already know to the text at hand. I'm giving the author the opportunity to show me what's new to me. Naturally I'm not going to spend a lot of time superreading and dipping stuff I'm familiar with. Those pages I'll probably gloss over with the photoreading speed but with a more focused vision to be aware of minor variations that may show me something that I had missed in the technique that I know but in reality I consider this the last 20% of the book. I want the 80% of the book that is new to me. Might be only one chapter so I aim to read that in the bookshop and save myself some $

When it comes down to it, purpose is really the answer to the question... "When you have information from this book; what are you going to do with it?"

The purpose
"i desire a general understanding of the concepts in this book"

Why? What are you going to do with it?

If you know what you're going to do with the information you ask better questions, speed your way through to the answer and dump books that really don't serve the purpose and get moving to the ones that do.

School books... "Teacher says we have to read this". Okay so what's your purpose for reading that? To please the teacher? To understand what the teacher is explaining so that...?

Always, and I mean always find your own purpose.

Alex

holy cow Alex, what an incredible explanation. i just have to say thanks a bunch for that.. lots of GREAT stuff in there. wow. you rock.
