Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer so the seminars

dizanggg, they're so expensive($750). I'm in the seattle area, and I know I won't be able to attend the one that's coming up(22ndish of this month), but whoever has attended one of the seminars, please tell me what you thought of it. I already have the photoreading cassette system. I know I haven't been utilizing the photoreading techniques and also, for me the techniques were also sorta vague. But if anyone has the tapes/cds and also went to the seminar, please tell me what you possibly gained or if you gained anything at all from going to the seminar.

also, does anybody know when the next Seattle seminar would be?

I haven't been to a live seminar. I think the biggest gain from a live seminar is the motivation factor. Other people in the class keep you going and if you don't understand something during a class you tend to do one of 2 things. Ask for clarification or fake it and just keep going with the class to discover understand it later or have it clarified later.

Another gain from a live seminar is, you booked a date in your calendar to "do it". You are less likely to break that committment than with a home study course that you can do 'just about anytime'. Perhaps even leaving too much time between tapes and thus forgetting something that didn't seem important until the next tape. Or worse feeling that you have to start over because you left too much time between tapes.

Robert Anton Wilson said that "reality is a constant negotiation between the observer and the observed." When I sit down, I hope that my chair is understanding my expectations to have it observe certain Newtonian laws.

In a live class of any sort, the teacher is both the observer and the observed. In a recorded class, be it recorded on video, audio, or simply text, the teacher is innert and cannot rapidly adjust to the needs of the student.

I'd consider a live seminar, although I have confidence in my current level of abilities. It is expensive, but the cost is on-par with the cost of learning software at a company I used to work with. That is to say, what they are charging is rather standard, even if they are teaching something rather unusual.

The best way to get something like this paid for is to have your place of business swing it out of its education budget. For most people, that is not going to apply. It is also possible that the company can reserve an in-house training. The question is on the value of the skill, and how it relates to one's job. Every job requires literacy, but not all place equal value on it.

Hope this helps.
