Whitehair, what are you really looking for or expecting from the system. You say that you are doing all the steps but cannot mind map.
What method of notemaking have you used in the past? Did it work? If it did why not use it now?
On the activation issue you only tell us that you are doing all the steps withoout mentioning how you are doing them. Perhaps if you explained how long your activation time is. How you form mind probing questions. Whether you have establish if you like superreading and dipping better or skittering. What material you are working on. If it is study related material... Have you tried the system on something that you are personally interested in that is not study related.
As I said in another post. If you're learning photoreading and studying something new at the same time you leave yourself with a problem.
You're learning 2 things at once. So how can you tell whether photoreading is giving you the problem or the subject you are studying. Or how can you tell the subject you are studying is giving you problems and not photoreading? If you are not knowledgeable about either how can you see where the problem might lie?
Learn photoreading seperately from your studies first. In doing so you might have to approach your studies learning the way you usually do it. But by photoreading and activating 2 or 3 books that interest you, you'll be able to transfer the skill to studying.
The fact of the matter may be you are doing everything just right but you need more activation layers and time, as well as to go easy on yourself. Without that information we cannot make suggestions as to what you might need to adjust to activate successfully for you.
Since you are seeing benefits go easy on yourself. your breakthrough can come with the next activation pass.
If you would like to consider other ways of making notes besides mind mapping email me I for a copy of and article I have written on the subject.
