I should have written
No less than one page every two seconds
I stand corrected on clarity.
That's the starting rate for beginners. The slowest we let them go in a class and is the speed it takes to PhotoRead 25,000wpm. It works out 1 page per second when you turn every two second. The ones flying through the books faster were going faster than 25,000 wpm. Which is great too because they find it helps them stay in Photofocus and in the ideal state better. If you want to go faster go fast but say the chant to keep you focused because going faster you will miss pages and you have to be able to accept that your mind can handle missing a page here and there. Considering it is only about 600 words when you miss a page and only 11 to 20% of those words carry meaning the mind can do an excellent job of filling in the blanks anyway. The challenge is to change your reading Paradigm... that you must read every single word to understand what the book is about.
Beginners have trouble with it because they analyse as the are doing the step and you cannot be doing the steps if you are analysing them.
They forget to let go and play (experiemnt) with it and hold themselves back until, they think they got this, that or the other right. They stay with one part of the course "till they get it right" but that's like trying to learn to roller skate when you've only put one skate on. It's Okay... Even eagles need a push before they spread their wings.
