Hi
To be frank, if it's memory you're trying to cultivate, you might be better off looking at memory courses. (I happen to have the set of Dominic O'Brien's Super Memory Course brand new, by the way. You want it half the usual selling price?
)
I find it difficult to understand why you would want to read a book before you PR it. PRing doesn't take that much time, and you are probably best off doing that before you read it. As for the "sublime experiences", you might wish to note that very few people get spontaneous activation immediately. 
I suggest you try manual activation first.
As to your manual activation, I can only say that you are not doing enough activation layers at this point. In fact, working it up as you are, you should probably expect to do no less than six 30-minute superreading sessions. During the first one or two, you will get the structure, as you are already doing. You then go on to fill in the details. It is only fair to say that as your demands for comprehension increase, the more time you would want to spend with the book. During superreading, you need to open yourself up. If you're expecting your inner mind to hit you on the head with a bat at every dipping point, well, it's not likely to happen. The bridge between the conscious and inner mind takes developing.
On your comment that you expect PR to "fill in the dots", it can, but doesn't always. Most of the time, you need to superread for that. Spontaneous activation comes with practice, as I have said.
Can you help me make my dreams come true?
Nope. That's something you need to do for yourself. We can only help you help yourself.
