If that is so, how can you understand what you were looking at if it was blurry and if...I'm confused about that

During the course of the Photoreading, you enter the Photofocus, which is the blurring you may have read about. In this state, you absorb the information straight into your other-than-conscious mind. At this point, you will have no conscious comprehension of the material yet. There are other activation steps in the Photoreading Whole Mind System to bring the information out. It helps both memory and comprehension to have the information already in your other-than-conscious.

PR is about putting the information into your other-than-conscious and then retrieving it. Because it is already in your other-than-conscious mind, reading and comprehension both become faster even if you do nothing else. If you employ the other steps of the process, then you should be able to bring your reading time down to one-third.

3. I have heard about "reading genius" that could be better, i read a website (very slowly i might add) that said people prefer reading genius over PR, what information can you give me about that??

I am not overly familiar with RG, so I'll leave that for someone better qualified to answer.

Yes, you can still enjoy the novels and fiction which you might still wish to read normally. In this case, one might use the Photoreading step alone (without other activation techniques), blasting the information into the other-than-conscious, and then just reading it normally. You will probably find that it is easier to follow and more engaging.

With the PR seminar, I believe the percentage of people who successfully grasp Photoreading is over 95%. If you're considering the home study course, then more effort will be required on your part. In both cases, it is possible to succeed as long as you're willing to play with the system and stick it through. Naturally, the forum provides a useful resource, and if you get stuck, you can still call up LSC for personal coaching once you buy the course.

6. How does this compare to regular old speed reading?

As you have probably gathered, the techniques employed are quite a bit more advanced than speed reading. I think the distinctions are quite clear based on what I've said, but if you need some more specifics, please do tell.

To begin with, I don't see why one would want to return to regular reading after using Photoreading. Even if you're reading for enjoyment, you would still Photoread first to put the information in your mind, and then activate it from there by regular reading. Once you've done this, your regular reading should speed up. Furthermore, I have found that the activation steps train you to pick up information more quickly anyway, so even without Photoreading first, you should still see an increase in your speed.
