Wow. I listened to the PhotoReading Activator tape. (This tape, by the way, activates the skill of PhotoReading - it is not a shortcut to activating PhotoRead materials). As I was listening to it in my Quite Scene, which started as Janeway's Da Vinci Workshop program and then turned into a modern park in Australia (because it's too damned cold to "relax" in Wisconsin), I saw the stack of books I had PhotoRead on Da Vinci. At the words "you are the master of the books you read" (or something to that effect), I pointed at the books and exploded them into word-dust. The letters swirled around me and transformed me into Da Vinci. I then went back into the park and I saw as he sees things.
It's a multi-level thinking that deals with the internal structure of things. He's good at drawing people because he understand anatomy, and he's good at making *striking* paintings that don't have to use anything surreal, because he knows the internal structure and functioning of the mind.
I also understood that his John the Baptist picture is Pan. Every time I PhotoRead a book with that picture in it, I would have to turn back and examine the picture and postview the caption. There's something about that picture that really captivated my imagination, and now I know what it is.
This is the most fun I've had in weeks. I read five books in under a half hour, made a new imaginary friend, and have acquired new eyes to see the world through.
