Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Same 'ol...same 'ol

I know this has probably been on here before but I'm really trying to get the hang of this b/c I'm trying to recover from past grades that weren't so good and also other things. Anyways...how exactly are you supposed to feel when you are in the Accelerated Learning State? When I usually feel I'm in it, I am easily distracted and when I attempt to photoread I am also easily distracted. I can't seem to diverge my eyes either and when I do, a few moments later they re-focus. I feel as though I'm forcing my eyes to stay diverged, but when I try and relax myself they focus again. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You.

hi there.

what u need 2 keep in mind r 3 things:
1.first u must stay relaxed..& u need 2 let go of the need of doing this correctly. this is one of the most potent points in this system. every 1 experience problems with the system as they begin..every baby fell when it tried 2 walk but in the end u walk like a king dont u?..
2. tangerine. check that u did it correctly, just let it naturally rest there. this grabs ur attention in a much more focused manner so u can read with less distractions.
3. affirmations. did u affirm urself? its very important 2 affirm urself & have a positive attitude toward the upcoming experience.
3. as 4 photofocus, in the begining u dont have 2 struggle with divergence, after u know that uve relaxed urself completely it is also adequate to notice the 4 corners of the page & imagine an X connecting them. the blip will come in time & its not a must. and u should know that there r many photoreaders who r using this skill today without never seing the blip.

oh 1 more thing. ever had the feeling that ur in total control yet calm, that u can do what ever you wish, that you can just hack through all the obstacles in the way? still ur totally in control, ur concetration is absolute & ur mind is swift & flows gently?
thats about what i feel when im in the state.

like you im still a beginner. i started using the system more seriously about amonth ago. the results r astonishing. i almost wanted 2 kill myself when i understood the ease which i can now do stuff in which took me exponental amounts of time in order 2 achieve the same goal. so just keep doing it,

Thanks...much appreciated.

Thanks for the motivation. All the positive talk by Paul on the tapes just doesn't match up when hearing it from a fellow beginner.

Simply wanted to reiterate the thanks - Reading progress from other users has been the best motivation and help to date. I just started the program because of the wealth of information I want to acquire to excel in my chosen field. I have reached the point where I can easily see the blip - am working at manipulating the size. When it is large I sometimes find that distracting. Activating is still a bit hard for me but, I know it is because I am trying to change a more entrenched habit. Progress is being made as I saw one of the pages in my sleep just before awakening. Talk about incentive and motivation to continue!! I would like to know if anyone found the seminar a necessary component or are a lot of you doing well with either the book alone or the home study course?

Hi,
I did it with just the book about a month ago and am activating books regularly without problem.
