I am not sure if I am pushing too hard or not with doing sessions. People have said to try and go through the book multiple times in sessions of like 30 minutes or so, going through the whole book each time. I am finding this VERY hard. I gave myself the past 45 minutes and have only done 58 pages out of 300. Obviously I wasn't going fast enough. although this is just my first time through, I feel like I should have a better idea of whats going on than I do. Im reading "The Scarlet Pimpernel" for history, and it seems like the last 5 chapters all ive gotten is there are a bunch of people at a restaraunt/place to eat and talk, talking. Two more people showed up, the king and his wife, then some two other people showed up and I have no idea who. But I feel like after 5 chapters of having them talk, I should have some idea of what they are talking about because 5 chapters probably includes something important. I havent been able to pick up anything on what they are talking about really, and Ive been going slow!
I am finding it hardest to keep up with all of it also, because its been about 5 chapters of straight dialogue, not fun, or easy to follow with skipping around and not going straight through. When someone is talking, I have no idea who is talking. Half the time it has no name. Its been conversations between people and things like that, and it just slows me down and I pick up nothing about the conversation or whats in it, but only pick up that there is a conversation going on.
Is this how it should be for the first time through the book or should I be learning at least a little more about the book? And what can I do about sessions? At this rate, itll take me a few hours or more to make one pass through the book, which is pitiful considering I am understanding nothing.
By the way, I feel like I should add, I did go through the process before activating. I looked for key terms, people, places, things of the sort. Read the back of the book, introduction in the book. I feel like I learned more from that than the actual book. I did the mind probing and all those steps, setting what I want to get out of the book before photoreading. Ive done steps in the book. Just thought I should say that, it may make a difference.
