bdwells,
Thanks for your post.
Your next step is to connect your conscious mind with where all the patterns of text have been imprinted in your "other-than-conscious" mind. Here's how to master the basics of "Activation":
-find 3-5 books you want to read, on topics your interested, but haven't read yet.
-have them be non-fiction, around 100-300 pages, and not too technical.
-work with one book at a time.
-Prepare/Preview/PhotoRead, and wait at least a half hour before activating.
-craft several Mind Probing questions with the list of key words and phrases you wrote down during your 8-minute Preview.
-then, you can begin SuperReading & Dipping in multiple 30-minute sessions.
-begin each Activation session with several Mind Probing questions.
-add a set of branches on your Mind Map from each Activation session.
-when you've gotten the structure of the whole book, then you can shift into 30-minute sessions of Rapid Reading to get all the specific detail you want. Watch for the point where it all "gels" and you have full comprehension. It can happen anytime during Activation.
Hope this helps!
