Has anyone tried reading books or other pubs upside down as per "The Einstein Factor" example? In early experiments this was supposed to be quite effective. My only experiences with PR is in connection with Win Wengers's book and this forum, Thanx, Dragha

I always read upside down when i'm looking for specific info. It cuts me off from my conscious mind & allows my other than conscious mind to find the answers. It's never failed to work effectively for me.

I love reading upside down... My brother has now got landslide insurance on his property. The council wouldn't confirm that the building next door is meeting building codes. Issues were raised whether the neighbours put in a proper foundation. We were talking to the building inspector and asked whether they have confirmed about the foundation. He said it was passed and that was on the documentation in the office... He flipped the docs to make a note and on that page upside down I read that council has not seen the foundation and not received a satisfactory explaination why building work proceeded without inspection. This was before I learnt to photoread.

So far the house has only shifted 2 feet in the last 18 months.

I actually learned to draw by copying pictures upside down, the principle being the same, bypassing the clumsy old left brain.

Yes, as a comic strip artist, I highly recommend learning to draw upside down pictures, for the exact reason you stated.

Interestingly enough, this applies more so to forgery. Many forgers practice signatures upside down, because the way we write letters is so a part of us that if we try to forge a different handwriting, it'll still have some of our own handwriting in it. So a forger learns it upside down, because the curves and loops are no longer "letters" or anything internalized, but something completely different, bypassing the logic part of the brain and getting a better forge (but don't forge signatures )
