Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer A few thoughts and questions

First off, when I photo read the text is kinda blurry. If I focus or try to read the text (without losing the X nor the soft gaze) the text is still too blurry! Am I doing this wrong? Have I just been sending blurs into my sub-concious mind?

Secondly, this type of reading skill is pretty darn powerful. So powerful it could probably be used as a weapon. It's hard to explain so I will tell a story, it's a lot or interesting and funny. Give me any feedback on what you think.

One day Jack decides to purchase the photo reading course program. He orders the program and it arrives in the mail in a week. After 3 weeks Jack masters his photo reading skills. He takes a trip to his local book store and looks around (9.00 AM). He heads towards the Computer and Software section. He grabs 20 books and photoreads them, then activates them (I'm guessing it's now 1:00 PM). Then he heads onto the Cooking section and does the same thing, then the Eletronics section, Gardening section, Photography section, Home Improvement section and Dancing section. Let's say Jack does this for a week with the same books.

My question is, by the end of the week, doesn't Jack have the knowledge of a Computer Technician, Chef, Electronics Engineer, Gardener, Photographer, Tool Man and Dancer?

That is so powerful.

I have thought about the bookstore scenario a little, and I wonder if in the future when photoreading becomes a more well-known and widely taught subject, that bookstores will have to be on the lookout for people doing more than just previewing a book.

I dream of having my breakthrough experience and finally getting everything I've learned about photoreading flowing, so that I can zip through my collection of 200+ books and then go on to the Barnes & Noble on the weekends and absorb every bit of information I want there.

Look at the book as if you have X-ray vision, make sure you can see the whitespace between the paragraphs and you're fine.

With time and experience the text will achieve a certain clarity.

That scares me, when I do the soft gaze the text book has so many different colors, pictures and diagrams that it's hard to spot out the white spaces. Maybe the textbook is too big? It's like 600 pages using 8x11 sized paper.

As long as the conscious mind keeps trying to do the work the inner mind doesn't take it up fully. Ever had the experience of someone teaching you something and while you have them around watching you, you were like, all thumbs, and worse was, they kept taking it off you, to do it 'for you' or show you 'again' how to do it, while you just wanted to try and 'get' it right, just once? Then when they finally went away and let you struggle on your own, it may have been a bit of a stuggle, but once you got it, you got it?

That's how it is when we hand over the task of 'reading' to the inner mind through photoreading. Chanting, steady page turning blurred focus of the page are all methods aimed at getting the conscious mind to quieten down while the inner mind does the job for a change. Yep practice makes perfect

probably not ... an ounce of experience in worth a ton of theory. ... you see you might have read everything about cooking, gardening, photography, but that doesn't make you an expert! I can read a hundred books about exercise but that's probably not going to make me stronger

cheers

Both of you have a very good point! Pratice and experience is needed for anything! I'm going to keep practicing photo reading but I've decided to read my textbooks traditionally and pratice photo reading on other books. Thing is, I'm using photoreading on my text books but it's not working for me yet. I'm kinda behind actually, I thought if I photo read my text books then during my lectures I would have more enthusiam to activate them or something! Now I'm kinda behind (I have 7 courses, 7 chapters a week). So I've planned to practice on other books and as well photo read my text books 'after' I have read them traditionally.

Absolutely It is particularly good to use before an exam. After you do your study for the exam the night before, pop in the tape tell yourself you want to have a good memory/recall of the information you've just studied.
