It took years before the whole system worked for me. It has only been within the last 12 months that I have been able to achieve the Photo-focus state. I could not see stereograms or Magic Eye pictures.
I used the imaginary "X" for the photoreading step.
My breakthrough came after doing one of Win Wenger's exercises ... and for the life of me I cannot remember what it is called. Perhaps someone can help? I have seen it described on one of LS's forums before. It is where you lay on your back and have your feet in the air. The position is much like you are seated in a chair but your back is on the floor. Then, I go thru the "sip breathing" exercise. After doing this exercise (I have no idea why), I was able to diverge my eyes and enter the Photofocus state. I can now diverge my eyes any time I need.
Wishing you the best.
