I'd have to go with andy on this. You're getting into really detailed stuff, and making it seem much more complicated than it is.
Also for not having recieved the course or having looked at the book yet, a lot of your questions you're asking will be answered on the first tape.
I wouldn't say I'm very skilled at PhR'ing but I've seen it work already for me. As much as anyone here with stress, the 'gaze' you look at a page with will refer to, time and time again, is the "coctail weenie" effect. You should find an explanation on the board about it, and for sure you'll learn it in the study course.
If you can do 3d magic eye pictures you should have PhotoFocus down. If not, there are other ways Paul Sheele explains you can get PhotoFocus by making the imaginary X connecting the pages.
Just know that it's easy, it works and get ready to blast through books, magazines, and text at amazing speeds. Enjoy the course when you get it.
