How many activation layers do you usually do for a book? Have you ever reached the point after say 4 layers of activation and mind mapping where you can't think of any questions and just for one last activation session turned each chapter and subheading into a question and found you can answer each question?
I know that for some this seems like going backward and taking more time to get information out of a book however that is the training ground of the system that makes the whole process faster in the long run. You will soon have trained your mind to notice the important information in the book and be able to know what page the information you seek is on at a later date. If you try to skimp on the activation stage you'll be depriving your mind of the training that teaches it what you want out of a book. That's why rapid read is the last stage usually applied. When you have the sense you want to know more but cannot say exactly what it is. With practice of the activation stage the need for rapid reading reduces unless you find a book that really interest you and you'll know that after a postview or first activation session.
When learning some people will activate once then rapid read and complain that they missed important information to them the first time they tried the system. However that is a sign that you mind is still conditioned to regular reading. When you are first learning the photoreading system expect to do at least 4 activation layers spending about 2 hours on the book. If you want to make the photoreading system work. Practice activation and do an extra layer. Yes for speed readers this seems to be going backwards on a short 200 page book but it's training. A few books later you burn through the books because you still got the speed reading skill to use while dipping.
