Manual activation is a lot less time consuming than regular reading. You can photoread and hope for spontaneous activation. You can wind up waiting a lot longer than the 30 to 90 minutes it takes to fully activate manually. Photoreading 100 books on one subject doesn't necessarily bring about conscious comprehension about any one of them.

Is there a reason you use only upper case? More people are likely to respond to your post if you use lower case. It helps with reading speed and activation to have text in lower case. You slow yourself down unnecessarily in re-reading your text.
It is difficult and unnesessary to read text in all upper case. Hence the reluctance of other members to repond you your post. You're making it hard for us to read.
