Thanks Pete, and by your last comment do you refer to direct learning as it is explained in the book?, if so, I have a few questions, (I'm sorry that I posted so many questions but this method has been so extraordinary to me that I want to use it in everything),1st of all it's possible to use DL for material like medical books, and if I choose to use the direct learning approach, in order to prepare my medical board, how I schedule my work in relationship to PR the whole material, I have now about 7 books to read of about 1000 pages each (more or less), and if I already did PR on those books and I'm activating some of them would it be the use of direct learning opposite to what I'm doing with concious activation in order to get the details of the text, or both activations by rapid reading, mind maping, etc etc, and DL could be both a complement of each other. Hope you can get the idea of my question. Thanks in advance.
