Thanks. This brings up an interesting point: when the material is very difficult, meaning you get confused and frustrated when reading the material (i.e. reading a detailed finance book versus a magazine article on an easy topic), maybe you should photoread more since the unconscious mind must do more processing before your conscious mind can understand the material. In the program, Paul said that you must have unconscious understanding before you can have conscious comprehension. For difficult studies, multiple repetitions of the photoreading step force your unconscious mind to grapple with the material. (This is not a substituted for activation techniques.)

In a word yes, It's also helpful if you photoread other sources. Not necessarily activating them but giving your mind enough information to ponder. I personally think it's in the incubation that the material gets sorted out and the repetition of photoreading it is only to show your mind the intention that you want the problem solved.

One of my goals is to use photoreading to master complex financial concepts which are difficult and confusing. It’s not memorizing facts, it’s building complex understandings. This is not about quickly getting through an article, it’s about going over the material many times to slowly peel away layers of understanding. The extra photoreadings would not be on consecutive days, but spaced weeks or months apart. Just wondering what you thought.

You might be surprised that the application of rapid layering will help you get to that point a lot faster. Much understanding comes with doing even if it's only playing out the senario in our minds.
