Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Questions, Questions, Questions

Okay, this might or might not end up being quite a long post. Throughout the course of time that I learned PhotoReading, I practiced it a lot. Now, my pace in which I decide to use the system has slowed down, but that's only because I've run out of things to obtain information on! If I had some money, I'd get some more stuff to PhotoRead.

I have a few questions, and comments that some may be able to answer, or feel inclined to reply.

1. Does Learning Strategies Corporation have any future plans to take PhotoReading itself to new heights? Is there any studies currently being done to improve the system even futhur?

There are more people who claim the system is either too hard to learn, or refuse to believe it can work. Many skeptics, several from this forum I could directly quote, saying that it's "impossible." What is LSC's opinions of some of the aqquisations like "photoreading is satanic," or "PhotoReading is a scam!" I know that I, and nearly all the people here agree that a scam with a 30 day money back garentee doesn't exist, but I just feel that people could be futhur convinced. Perhaps not by the speed of it all, but by the other features?

2. I have tried a hand at teaching two of my peers how to PhotoRead and activation information. Both of them close friends, and admiring at many of my projects as only a 14 year old. However, they, and many others who have either tried or already been successful with the system claim that only certain people can learn. What does everyone here have to say to this?

Myself, I believe that anyone can learn the system. They don't even need the home study course, either. Myself, I learned from the book. I may not be a certified instructor, and I admit that that may be the case in my two friends' failures, but I believe it is within their minds saying "That's your thing. Only you can do that. I can't do it."

My questions and comments I realize may be very vague as far as if there is a point to them, I know. I just can't bring myself to gather my thoughts effieciently enough to express what I'm wanting to get at.

Is there any way to prove, or to convince some of these students that have failed at learning the system, that they should try to persist when their attitudes lean toward the opposite?

I'm living proof that it works. Some can simply look at my vocabulary, and the way I write things to know that I've become successful with the system. Many times I find myself making jokes that no one else understands around me. I can't help but blame PhotoReading.

It seem so me you've discovered the impact of self limiting beliefs. Unfortuantely there are few methods to overcome "other" peoples self limiting beliefs. In fact there are many occasions when we impose them upon ourselves and cannot see them or refuse to see them.

The only way that we can get around it is by demonstrating the skill ourselves. Yes initally you are doing something unique .. then you find one person that is willing, who has the belief that what you can do, they can learn too. They let you teach them, they don't give up either. Then it becomes possible to teach more... the 100th monkey effect.

The problem is that most readers have forgotten that it took them 2 to 3 years to get basic reading skills building a volcabuary and comprehension skills. Some people haven't even got reading comprehension under their belt using the old method. They expect to learn a new way of reading in less than 2 days? They don't notice that even basic computer skills can be explained in 2 days but it takes week or even months of practice till they are skills that are second nature to them. Yes PhotoReading can be taught in 2 days. The live seminars attest to that. The practice and application of the skill is up to the individual.

Your school doesn't have a library either?

Reminds me of the science textbook that was issued to me in my first year of high school. It was pristine new undamaged. Printed in 1921... the year it was given to me was 1974. The only use we found for it was intially lugging it back and forth to school (no lockers either) till we wised up and left at home. Handed it back at the end of the school year. They gave it back to us the following year. All our other reference text were much more recent in comparision... 1942 averaged their years of publication.

My youngest brother had informed me that in 1983 they finally had a science teacher that said "you got to be joking.... throw those books in the bin". 32 American science books in mint condition ended up on the town dump.

Ah well. Enstein was kicked out of school so it's not a school education that a genius makes. It's an open mind, that even for a moment will let go of limiting beliefs, just to see what would happen if?... that discovers new solutions to old problems.

OFF TOPIC:

sorry, really i dont want to mess around with anyone but please, stop believing that einstein was "a bad student", "kicked out of school" etc... that's completely false, he attended one of zurich's greatest school after a special school where he had medium results (i wont call it "a bad student" anyway....). And he was very friend with his school director wich heberged during his studies (He is not just the tongue rebel you know.... )

Nor he said that "memory is useless when you have the references". He just thought that he had a bad memory (he wished he had a better one).

Nor he said "we use 10% of our brain". That was William James in early 20's and electro brain test proved that he was wrong. We roughly uses more than 20% of our brain AT A GIVEN TIME. We just generally dont do maths, drawing and violon at the same time...

Just wanted to clear some misbeliefs...

Well, to Alex - my school does have a library, but there are not really many books left there that I haven't read that are interesting to me. I'm lucky to find one that even looks interesting. I'll admit that you "can't judge a book by the cover," but you'd be amazed at my ability to predict some things. Most of the best books you'll find in my school is OUTSIDE of my school. I'm not impressed with my school's reading programs, their educational "methods." I'm not impressed with any single way they go about doing things. Many students with tremendous potential at my school fall below average because of certain methods that are not attuned to them.

And Ash - I really don't know what to say, because my knowledge of Einstein is quite, QUITE limited. Hrm. . .perhaps I can find some books on him? My personal opinion:does it really matter what Einstein did? People should worry about their personal genius, not compare it to another.

youngprer,

I know what you mean about school libraries, I finished reading all the interesting books in the first year and 90% of the library was novels...

The school library was the town library... I tell you when I left that town just about every pay went out on books... I suppose you're looking for all the ebooks you can find... I know I am Remember where there is a will there is a way.

Actually, I'm really working toward writing my own works. If I ever get the time, I'll definitely finish my book. It's about the past five years of my life. It's quite dark, as far as the storytelling style of it.

As for normal old routine stuff having to do with novels, I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of Crooked, which is supposed to be some kind of disturbing story. . .hrm. . . .

Then there's also the infamous Mind Over Matter, by Loyd Auerbach. Been trying to get that since the telekensis topic back in February. As well as something I have been putting on the backburner ever since Ramon told me about it:The Mind of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman.

On another post you asked whether GC or SFQ is the way to go... for enhancing your writing skill GC is the way to go .

Good luck with the book.

For your interest in telekensis and other mind powers. I suggest you get hold of the Silva book. It serves as a good basis for grasping some of the metaphysical skills.

Hummm when I think about it... it was that book that started my interest in the topic of metaphysics back in 84.

Alex

Ah, yes. The Silva Methods. I've heard of that in the past, and I actually did some research. I would rather be trying to get my hands on the Silva book(s), but after seeing Mind Over Matter, and what I know about the two, Mind Over Matter looked more attractive.

The Silva stuff may get it's turn in the future, or it may not. Developing something like telenekenisis, as you may read in that original topic, is nothing new. I was trying to master the skill as a child when I was about 5-9 years old. Then, after I "matured" my mind went to sleep with it, saying "this can't be real." Even though, there were some things that conflicted with that statement.

Genius Code could likely help with writing, but SFQ is one thing that may help with my health, which is definitely less than even close to perfect. I get sick every two months or so with something, and have a very hard time with allergies. Those two things have actually taken their toll with PhotoReading, as I haven't been able to enter the state while sneezing and SNEEZING.

Anyways! Thanks a lot for the link on Mind Maps.
