Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Photoreading Step

Hello all!

I'm just curious: has anyone experimented with using every step except for the photoreading step? I'm not saying that the step itself doesn't do anything. In fact, I'm a huge believer in the power of the inner mind. However, I'm just interested to know how effective the photoreading step is to an already great reading system. What does it actually add? Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
In the beginning, you might not notice such a big difference with the photoreading step, however, with practice and with time the connection between the part of the mind that is active in the photoreading step and the part of the mind which is active when you are consciously thinking and reasoning becomes much stronger and more flexible.

In short: There is a huge difference, but unless you actually learn the whole system and use it all (no voo-doo, no short cuts), then you won't know it for a fact.

If you search the archives you will find quite a few posts which ask this same question, as well as a few very good answers by experienced photoreaders.

The photoreading step speeds up the whole process.

It's like taking the freeway instead of the suburban roads to get to where you want. Both get you to where you want. The freeway saves time if you don't stop the traffic.

The whole program is good. Without the photoreading step, you would still learn at a faster rate, though not as fast as if you had the PR step.

One of the most important concepts in the program for me was that learning happens in layers. Not trying to force everything in with immediate recall the first time through has helped tremdously. If you approached learning in a "layering" method, you would learn much faster.
