So what? He's still human. He did it shortly after learning the process. That means everyone has that potential.

Most people need information from a book consciously. This is why manual activation techniques were created into the system.Many people cannot have a hit or miss situation for example "well i will photoread & hope i will pass the examination" or "i will photoread this information & hope i have this information for my boss."
True but these days we don't always have to read the time and just keep our fingers crossed that we don't need to know or prove it. PhotoReading is better than nothing add a short activation and you've got a heck of a lot more out of the book than one sitting on the desk collecting dust hoping that 'one day" you'll have the time to read it.

Once again this is why manual activation techniques were created so people could have effective, reliable techniques to get the information they needed.
Yest that is what manual activation techniques are about.

Think of it this way. Paul Scheele is a genius. It took him years to get where he is today it didn't happen overnight. Another great photoreader Pete Bissonette who has some fantastic, incredible experiences with photoreading that took years to get to that level.
To quote Pete on a post in 2000 http://www.learningstrategies.com/forum/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000264.html
693,000 words a minute.
What does it take? Just try it. That's what I did. I first did the superhigh speeds back in 1985 before we even coined the word "PhotoReading."

What i am trying to get you to see here is that it is a unreasonable expectation to think that a novice or beginner or someone just starting to learn Photoreading should be expecting the same type of results as Paul Scheele the creator of Photoreading who spend years to get to that point.

Nope not true unnecessary limitation on the human potential Photoread4me.
I Read the PhotoReading book in March 2002 by the end of that month I signed up on the forum.
By June 2002 I had some 500 posts and was asked if I considered becoming a PhotoReading instructor in August (right here on the forums the question was posed) October 23 2002 I signed an agreement that an image stream predicted would change my life. (I had posted the prediction on the GC forum and later confirmed that not only on the day but to the hour I committed to the agreement.
March 2003 I did the instructor candidate training in Minneapolis.
It didn't take me years to learn I could have done it in one weekend but spent 2 weeks working through the course. Let go of the breaks that it takes years to learn and that in itself will help you to progress faster.
What did I do to learn so quickly? I just saw it as an experiment.. what happens if. Pete PhotoRead 10 books a day for a couple of months... what happens if I photoread 10 books a day for a couple of months?
Paul did the comprehension test... he went what if what happens if I just flip the pages then take the comprehension tests?
Pete when he did his 693,000 wpm... it was what if? How fast can I go and what would I score on a comprehension test?
We weren't looking to pass or fail anything we were only going what happens if?
