Iam2 gave decently good advice, and everything in activation DOES revolve around layers.
One thing, I noticed though, that when I first began, books would be coming together for me in strange ways. I would be able to go through the text at lightning speed, doing a single activation on a book within 20 minutes, and then go. "Wait...what'd I just read?" I UNDERSTOOD NOTHING. Sometimes, it's all a matter of focus.
Now, I've heard about the texts of The Scarlet Pimpernel, and by no doubt in my mind is it probably simple & easy to understand for an average joe, sometimes. Where do you feel your focus lies? Is your focus on the speed? The comprehension? Doing the system correctly? You'll find that often times a block can sometimes be created just from worrying too much about time, comprehension, and doing the system correctly, that by the time you get through with the book, OH NO! There's just NOTHING left in my mind!!
The first time I PhotoRead and Activated a book successfully in under an hour, was the book Battlefield of the Mind, by Joyce Meyer, topping in at 45 minutes. I got 80% comprehension from the questions that I had my mother/brothers ask me about the book. But let me make a point that I believe...so what if I did that?
