i get the same feeling, isnt it just skimming and the placebo does the "wow this X thing that happened now must be my unconscious working" thing?


I havent had any experience yet that i felt could be the Photo Focus part of the program really working. So far it has been like just skimming to me, very disappointing.

I agree with you completely. It is time to just let it go and let us move on. Just from my own experience on the forum i have seen this occur repeatly on the forum when someone is struggling with photoreading and experiencing a certain level of frustration and confusion so they tend to lash out or attack photoreading.

So maybe i sometimes get a little impatient with people rushing to judgement without at least giving photoreading a fair trial.

Again, i agree with you it is time for us to move on. Let us see how we can help each other to get the maximum benefits that we can get from photoreading.

Hey

Totally agree - people vent their frustration on a bunch of people trying to help each other.. it's easy to get annoyed with it!

Yet for every 1 who starts flaming, your suggestions help 10 or more so big smiles for taking the time to help.

I feel all warm and fuzzy now :-)

If you think PhotoReading is just a placebo... wait until you experienced spontaneous activation or Direct Learning. That isn't going to happen until you've worked on a few books. Of course anyone who persists with the system will continue to build the body mind connection and get the same level of comprehension in 1/5th or 1/10th the time.

Is it a placebo? I wondered too when I started but now I can PhotoRead a book and know where to find useful information. That I can dump it and I can even finish a novel with full comprehension and enjoyment in 1/8th the time it used to take me.

PhotoReading instructors also teach the course without the PhotoReading step in one afternoon. That allows the average reader to double or triple their reading speed however they will never know the satisfaction of getting everything they consciously need from the book in a mere 5 minutes if necessary. And skimming isn't what we do we superread. We can superread because we've already mentally processed the information before. It's surprising how much difference there is in understanding of the information thanks to the PhotoReading step.

For those who doubt set up a project for yourself. get two books similar style and size. Apply the 5 day test to both books one you PhotoRead and one you don't. Then make sure you rapid read them both and then compare which was easier to connect with.
