I am involved in some heavy-duty self-exploration work that has me much more aware of my inner-dialogue than in the past. In case you are familiar, I am a graduate of the Landmark Forum and many seminars in the year since. What I am saying is that I have a decent chance of seeing where I stop myself when I am completely honest with myself and others. But even so, some decision making processes are so strong that they remain hidden. TO whit: it doesn't make any sense that I am still smoking. Not only do I logically know why not to smoke, I also take prescription medicine to alleviate withdrawls and enjoy going through the Paraliminal Tape "New Behavior Generator to address that behavior. But still I go smoke. I am not asking this forum how to fix that, but to set a context for my actual question.
But more background...
I have been reading the heck out of posts here on the PR Forum looking for the answer that fits me. Alex and other accomplished PR'ers get close and people with questions get close, but I am not quite satisfied. That could be my 'hidden agendas' stopping me.
The subject, "will saturation make a difference?" is not "will it do any good?" because I get that saturation may actually hinder the learning process.
I am going through boxes of books to gather a certain batch of role-playing books to sell on e-bay. What happens is that I come across a lot of 'good idea' books and have set them into another pile. I have a lot of books but I can never have enough. I am eager to capture the info within these books and as some people know, your purpose for a book can change over time, even to the point of disinterest.
So here's my plan: Let go of the neceessity to actually become an expert on each book. Just preview, establish a GENERAL purpose, and then PhotoRead and set it aside. At some point I will revisit the book and re-photoread it, adding to the 'saturation'. Due to the general nature of my purpose, I am not counting on activiation to make me 'suddenly smart'. But being a person that is committed to 'instant gratification' (a trait which I am working on) I desire to magically discover stuff from my sub-concious. In fact, having blasted myself with a few philosophy books, I think I have shaped my own philosophies wihtout knowing the origins of the thoughts, but I can't claiim that as a result.
What I am looking to do is to PR so much that eventually I bypass the thing that stops me from getting results and find a specific, measurable result. That, I feel, would be the pebble that starts the snowball downhill. It would take a while to happen, but the sudden insight would give me that AHA! that would reinforce my efforts and cause positive results. See the philosopher at work here?
I have noticed in the PR book(don't have the course...yet) that there are a number of instances/examples where somebody casually PRed a book and suddenly found they had unexpected answers when they had no purpose or just general interest. Like PRing 6 books on a subject and a situation activates. I know from the book not to count on this for results, but I am looking to have it happen such that the light goes on and I KNOW what caused it.
So back to this pile of books. If I just go throught the pile with 'whistling while I work' attitude, is it feasible, or even expected that something could occur which would begin the impetus?
I feel a bit ashamed to phrase my query like this after having some great conversation with Pete about 'just do it' because I know he's right. But I have built up so many stories about my reading that I am looking to set-aside my logical self and just cause something through feelings and numbers.
Gimme a clue?
