Just for the record the brainwave pattern at the accelerative learning state is more likely to be Alpha. You don't need theta at that point. You know when you're at alpha when you have your eyes close it takes about 15 seconds for a person who uses the process of going into the accelerative learning state on a regular basis and does the exercises. Once the brain knows what's coming it starts moving ahead. So while a beginner might need 90 seconds to reach the ALS and be able to state their purpose and affirmations. After about 3 weeks of daily use 15 seconds is probably all it takes (for someone who now trusts the process).

The theta state comes naturally at the right time.

In fact the right brainwave patterns always show up at the right time when you are working in the flow of whatever you're are doing.

You're not in the flow when you start doubting, worrying, judging whether you are doing it right or wrong, fearful etc. The predominant patterns belong to the predominant emotions. If your mind is busy worrying then your mind cannot be actively learning. If you're busy doubting you cannot be actively doing. If you're busy paying attention to your fears you cannot see your weapons of courage.

So let go of the judging of whether you're doing it right or if you inner mind put the gears in the right place. Just do it.

A stone gets a nice polish while you rub it not while checking it.
