I see where you're going. Trust me, most clever beginners want to fine-tune the system to make it even more effective. The truth is, it's already designed at it's optimum level, and like AlexK says, it's impossible to be in mid-Theta and photoread: This is particularly true to me as mid-theta is more of the level reached when you are in quiet meditation, beta movements make the coordination of PR and mid-theta impossible.

I think you're hitting the same realization as I did when activation started working for me, I realized it was not what I had glorified the whole thing as and felt a bit bitter for everyone making it sound like you're truly reading at the speed of sight, or the mumbo jumbo of "25,000 wpm mininum". However the more you PR and Activate, the faster you're mind because in-tune with the whole process. I believe at an expert level, the PR strategy truly becomes a skill to be reckoned with as your subconscious improves comprehension to a level within a shortened time that regular reading truly can't merit against.

Cheers and have a happy new year!
