I bought the PR home study course about 2 years ago but have never really applied myself to learning the principles involved. Having recently been laid off and finding myself with some spare time on my hands I have finally started to make a dedicated effort to listen to the tapes and try the exercises in the workbook.

One exercise involves looking at a dot matrix picture using the PR "gaze." Superficially the dots appear to make a random pattern, but the idea is that if you have the correct gaze technique, you will be able to distinguish the word PHOTREAD within the picture.

I have spent some effort in trying to get this to work, but with no luck so far. I find that when I attempt to employ the PR gaze, I do get a sense of 3D to the image and horizontally across the middle of the image I see what appear to be a row of the number "9" in 3D and repeated 5 or 6 times, i.e. 99999, but after hours of trying I have yet to see the word PHOTOREAD.

Has anyone tried this exercise and been successful?. If you have seen the word PHOTOREAD, do you also see the number 9's, and where would the PHOTOREAD appear in relation to the 9's i.e. in amongst the 9's, above, below?

Any tips would be appreciated.
