Good day! I am a new PhotoReader and I have to say that PhotoReading is indeed something amazing.

However, I have some questions which I hope that some experienced PhotoReaders could assist me.

Q1: When entering into PhotoFocus is it compulsory to see the blip page? I have difficulty seeing the blip page not that I can't see it but rather I would consciously read the words on the blip pages and the words would be all out of focus. I chose to sofly gaze on the center of the book and expand my vision on all 4 corners of the book. I feel more comfortable this way. Plus, the words on the pages seem to be 'alive' and 'pop out' from the pages although I have to stare at the pages for quite sometime (more or less 5 seconds). Am I on the right track?

Q2: After PhotoReading, I closed my eyes for the closing affirmation. There are images of the pages that I have read flashing in front of my eyes. So fast until I cannot see a thing and its all out of focus. Did that happen to anyone before?

Q3: I have problems activating. If I tried to Super Read and Dip or Skittering, I would overdo it. If I try to ask myself questions or mind probe, all I got back is just what I previewed if I can remember any. Any tips on improving activation?

Q4: About the tangerine affect, I can feel the tangerine but instead of feeling nice or pleasant about it I kinda feel like a really big lump at the top back of my head. Its weighing my head down after PhotoReading for a long time. And the longer I read the bigger it got and kinda trying to force my skull to grow bigger. Help?!

Q5: I know this is probably a dumb question but whenever I PhotoRead in the campus library, people keep looking at me like I'm some kind of moron who 'flips' his book 'upside down' and seem to be staring 'blankly' at the book. Anyone know how to shove this feeling off coz I can't really focus on what I'm doing with all this folks around me.

Lastly, PhotoReading is indeed something powerful. Using this technique I can do something in half an hours time which usually requires me 2 hours to complete. I hope to learn more and improve on my PhotoReading.

Thanks. Spontaneous Activation Rulez~~~~!!!!!
