Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer trouble getting started

I have taken the PR course and have read the book several times. I get really excited about my potential when I read it. I have the Activator tape and use that to get me started. The problem is I have a 900 page technical book to digest for an exam. I previewed the book for 3-5minutes and felt so overwhelmed that I couldn't get into a state and do it. I have a hard time separating things, concentrating and mediatating. Any advice? Should I take a class in mediatating?

You know, your question is even overwhelming.

I once had a 800 pg. book on stuff i knew zip. I, too, experienced overwhelm. What i did was PhR the book every day for about 10 days. I was very conscientious to state affirmations and get into my quiet scene before and after.

Then, one day, i felt a total shift in my confidence & i started activating different places that were relevant to passing the certification exam. I ended up skipping hundreds of pages because my intuition or just peripheral vision told me to. I mindmapped all the rest though & studied them. It was said that only 11% pass that certification the first time & i did pass it the first time. But, i did intentionally get into the alpha level for taking the exam. Meaning, i carried everything i learned in the whole mind system over into the taking the test.

You have also done something unreasonable:

900 pages and a 3-5 minute preview is disastrous. Anyone would be overwhelmed especially if, down the road, testing is involved. Gotta factor in the added pressure.

All i've done is tell you what i did. But, it's disheartening to read that you took the course. I would think that when some one attends the seminar, they would impress upon the participants the need to layer and how to tackle huge books.

I think the Home Study Course could be better than the seminar because you can listen to the tapes over and over again gleening additional insights over an extended period of time...imho..<

good luck and do any and everything you can to take pressure off yourself; you'll never experience success w/ that kind of pressure to perform

gotta dance our way to success all whips are banned from the success club

no, you don't need to take a class on meditating

just assimilate all the PhRing steps and practice them for real...meaning, not in your head but in real-time

even after so many years of PhRing, i still practice peripheral vision, tangerine, 3-f and anchoring.... in the beginning i practiced to learn it all and get it down Now i do it b/c it's a good feeling and i have experienced deeper more all-inclusive learning skills

Some people no doubt stop after achieving a proficient level of success. That's But i have found that when i just make some technique a part of my life, that level of success is broadened in unpredictable ways, i.e., other stuff kicks in automatically.

Recently, in Germany, i used my 3-f technique to find a disposable camera. I went w/ my logical mind to the camera shop & they had none. I went to a couple other logically minded shops and they had none either. So i did my 3-f & walked into a shop that had cell phones and NO camera in sight. I asked the man in German if he had a disposable camera and he went into a drawer & pulled one out You know, i almost walked out when i saw no cameras there...i'm so glad i didn't.
