Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Which is better? Blip page or X with corners?

Is one method actually better than the others?

1) Making a blip page and hence diverging the eyes, or
2) Normal vision, but making sure you can see the four corners of the book - i.e. enlarged field of view

Paul says in his book that many photoreaders never manage to get the blip page. Hence, I wondered why would he even bothers to teach the blip page because it's blatantly much more difficult to explain and practice.
Unless... the blip page method is actually the better method of the two

So my question is - is the blip page the best method?

The blip page is great because, provided you can do it, it is much easier to get all four courners in your field of view, and it makes consciously looking at the actual words in the text a little more difficult.

That said, the method that is best is the one that works for you.

If you have problems getting a blip page after what you consider a decent effort, try going without it. The great thing about photoreading is that you can play with it and get it to suit you the best.

Let me put it this way. Due to strong eye dominance, I found it neigh impossible to see the blip page. I did the four-corner method and I haven't switched methods. I now see the blip page.

You can combine If you happen to lose the blip page you're still seeing the whole 2 pages. Saves you worrying about whether or not you are taking in the information through photoeading because you are.

Once you kick this doubt out of the way. The rest of the photoreading process becomes so much easier.

One of the best purchases I ever made from E-Bay was the "Belief" paraliminal. The advice to use it on PhotoReading is nothing short of sublime. You see, PhotoReading is not some bizzare "advanced mind trick" that only the select few will ever be capable of. Rather, PhotoReading is a natural talent of human beings which only needs to be refined. The "Belief" paraliminal takes you through a process of undoing your beliefs and replacing them with new beliefs. When I did this with PhotoReading, I broke through my inertia of only using the skill on "safe" books - books I didn't need more than a few isolated facts to know "enough."

The paradox about subjective methodologies is that you'll see it when you believe it, rather than the other way around. While PhotoReading can be empiracally tested through comprehension tests, it's still a subjective experience in the raw act. Doubt is a barrier your conscious mind uses to keep the whole safe from the credulity of the other-than-conscious mind. (To many parts of the mind, anything that can be experienced is real - thus we pay $7 for movie tickets). That being said, doubt can also be wrong. Fear, doubt, disbelief. You have to let it all go. Free your mind.

That being said, everyone falls on the first jump.
