I never said the photofocus state was hard, what I said was, "I use a soft gaze looking at the four corners. This is hard, and requires practice to keep you attention on the corners..." I am saying that it can be difficult to keep attention on the four courners, consciously, because if I dont' occupy my mind with the chanting, or somethign else, then I find that I begin to consciously realize the words on the page, even though they are still out of focus and I am still in photofocus. Maybe I need to relax more, which I have hit periods while PRing that I do hit the zone and just flow with it, that does require me to let go of all distractions in my mind. When I do that however, I do nothing but intenstly concentrate on the action I am doing with no chanting, just pure concentration. I feel like the info is getting absorbed much better when in this flow state. I can already see someone saying that I don't need to concentrate hard, I need to relax, I am relaxed and in Photofocus, but I have a deep feeling of concentration on the material I am PRing.
