Okay. You are still looking at Brainwaves as being in a straight line which is the reason why you find it difficult to understand that Alpha is suppressed during PhotoReading.
So lets look at a couple of basic concepts that we generall can agree one
One; Brainwaves are just measurements of Frequencies that are being put (played) by the brain.
Two 'CDEFGABC' are the letters given to frequencies on a musical scale (AKAs notes). When you hit one note it resonates at a certain Frequecy.
Making music;
Music is created by the silence between notes. Which are hit in a rhythm. It's not necessary to play the notes in accending or decending order because the silence between the notes create the music. In a given piece the G note may never be played (it could be said to be suppressed) and the absence of this note creates the rather unique melody.
The Brain Frequencies;
The brain plays frequencies similar to a musical instrument. All frequecies are is vibrations at a measurable range on a scale.
The active brain puts out frequencies Alpha, Beta, Theta Delta (in the order of discovery) frequencies like huming(playing) a tune that coincides with certain mental and physical activities. In the melody (mental and physical activity) of the PhotoReading Step itself, the alpha frequency is not hummed.
Does that make it easier to understand?
As already mentioned I have come across data that points to additional brainwave frequencies. Ephilon Gamma and Lamda. (making a total of 7 Brainwave frequecies.)
An interesting co-relation when think about it... 7 colours in a rainbow, 7 notes in a muscial scale, and so far 7 (3 still being researched) brainwave frequencies.
