Hey, I've been trying something and I have seen a small glimmer of sucess. When I photoread, instead of stating my regular goal of "to gain supreme understanding and assilmation of this material", I tried something like this (in reference to mathematics) "To effectily increase my brain mass by photoreading this material in the area of mathematics". That was my first attempt, my second was "To stimulate my mathematical/logical region of my brain and by photoreading, accelerating the growth in mass of that part of my brain."

What I am trying to do is since it has been established that to increase the size of your brain in any region, you must give it stimulation by thinking anything that is relativent to that brain region (thinking about how to solve a math problem goes with the mathimatical/logical region). I want to use photoreading to stimulate my mathematical region of my brain to make it grow in size and efficiency. I hope that by causing heavy stimulation in that region, that will increase my efficiency and accurcacy of solving math problems.

I still don't know what I got on the finals...............

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to achieve this? Does anyone have purpose statements that can relate to mine? Can anyone give me some kind of purpose statement to follow on?

Finally, has anyone ever succesfully tried to have a purpose statement that commands your unconscious mind to retain all the information you've photoread? Is that even possible?

Instead of

Why not

since that is your final goal anyway?

Your original goal of

still didn't necessarily reflect your final use for the photoread material. What did you want to gain understanding of the material for?

Your other-than-conscious mind already does retain all the information. It's simply a matter of retrieving it.

insincerity - lack of a true tangable purpose.

I personally would never use an affirmation like that. The mind is very literal and while you may only really wish to increase the neural pathways and connections so that your mathematical skills improve. That affirmation could cause harm in the sense of giving you a brain growth of an undesirable nature.

Perhaps a self suggestion of, 'I am photoreading this material improve my maths skills so that I can... (add what you want to use the skills for). Or I am photoreading and activating this text so that I can... (add your purpose e.g. answer the the questions in the upcoming algebra exam.)

When you have an affirmation make it specific, state the end result you really desire. PhotoReading so as to increase your brain mass... well you might get the results you asked for but is that what you really want?
