Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer How are we to view our subconscious..?

Im curious as to how we are supposed to look at our subconscious. Im tempted to think of it as a second intellegence inside of me that i can communicate with. I dont have the affirmations memorized yet so i make them up when closing/opening a photoreading session. However, i talk to it to it with a powerful casualness. What i mean by that is, im like a coach or something... some kind of encourager saying "oh man, I so got this.. the information is totally there. I have it. its mine)" and things to that effect. Will this achieve the same results?

Also, we are to look for cues from our subconscious? My "cues" are often wrong. Im curious, are these not really cues, but just me making stuff up, or is it a bad connection between me and my subcon. As i get better.. is my subcon becoming more accurate or am i just having a better connection with the REAL thing. If so, then what i currently feel, (when i choose to dip and get it wrong) is actually going to feel different from the real thing, is it not?

I'm not even going to try and answer your question on this one.

I will give you one word of advise though...

If you want to become proficient as a photoreader a time comes when you get over your analysis paralysis and actually put the process to work.

You've listened to the tapes and analysed it in depth now listen to them and actually experiment with the steps. Once you actually do it you start discovering that like for regular reading we cannot explain "how" it is possible for our mind to give meaning to these abstract grouping of symbols and take it as having communicated with, or received information from,a fellow human being or long deceased author. Thankfully it isn't even necessary to understand how we decipher this in order to be able to receive information. We do it on faith (for lack of a better word).

We have 2 choices; we can become good at something by actually doing it or we can sit on the sideline using a lot of time analysing whether it's safe for us to test the waters.

Reminds me of wine tasters, spend ages describing nice colour, lovely bouquet, crisp texture and all that nonsense. Then after their long winded gasbaging they finally taste the stuff they pull up their nose and purse their mouth and cann't spit it out fast enough.

My advise is try it before you look for ways to describe it.

hmm, well said Alex. Dont get me wrong, im not just sitting on the sidelines, im out playing the game as well. (photoreading a book or two a day). Im just trying to get advice from people who have been doing it for a while because they know what is supposed to be felt.

The reason why im asking:
if the feeling im getting right now (when i think i should dip and it turns out wrong) is a common thing that the experienced photoreader recognizes but has identified as a false lead, then i will learn to seperate that feeling from real one that leads me to correct dips. However, if it IS the right feeling, only underdeveloped, then i will keep following it, practicing so as to improve my chances of getting it right.
I hope that makes sense. As always, im extremely grateful that you and everyone else would put the time in to answer my questions.

I'm no way an expert, and I'm still going through the "transition" so to speak.
However, I have been doing this a few months, so I'll give you some advice.

When I first started, I dipped into the words quite often.I would go into passages just for the heck of it, with no real goal.

One day, I realised that it was all about purpose.This realisation was probably some kind of spontaneous activation.You know, that "aha" experience, when you finally just "get it."

I decided that I wouldn't bother ever photoreading again if I didn't have some kind of end goal/purpose.This helped tremendously.It focused me, and the activation went to so much better.

What you'll find, is that when you first start activating, you'll dip more, and probably read stuff that you think is relevant now, but in fact you could probably do without.That's normal, it'll change.

I'll tell you something GnarlyOcelot.I've photoread books and not needed hardly any activation in order to make sense of those books.This is completely different from when I first started.I used to worry about missing stuff.

I no longer worry about missing stuff.In fact, it's like the inner mind is directing me where to go, I just follow, like on autopilot.Very strange, but I've accepted that if that's how it is, then that's how it is.If it works, then it works.

Just stick with it.Gradually, you'll just know where to dip, you'll be on autopilot.
That's when you'll realise the power that the photoreading process gives.

Happy photoreading.

As Paul says in the book. In the beginning you may have the urge to over dip. Go with it it's the learning experience. In fact it's your learning experience. The only thing you need to be sure of if the material isn't relevant or doesn't serve "move on quickly"

The biggest mistake beginners make is comparing their experience to the trials and errors of others too much. In the end we found what works for us by experience. The real comparison is your experience with each activation session.

Did you move on?
Did you allow yourself to get bogged down in stuff you already knew because it was easy reading?
Do you think it was time well spend?
Would you do it again next time?
Why was it important to read stuff you already recognised as knowing?
Ultimately did you find the answers to your mind probing questions?
How much more do you want from the book?

What others feel, see, experience is a very poor signal for comparision if you don't yet know your own typical experiences.
