Hi,
I am on the forth disc/tape of the photoreading system and I have photoread the photoreading book.

My purpose was: 'to learn photoreading so that I can read faster with 100% comprehension'. (Any purpose is better than no purpose!)

For activation, I tried out the 20 sample questions. One of the ways to make questions of your own is to super read the material that catches your attention. What if nothing catches your attention. I mean, nothing made me think that I should go on a particular page or section because I need more info.

Does this mean that my goal has been achieved or that my purpose was not clear enough or something else?

Alot of the stuff that is in the book is covered in the tape and the manual so how do I know that the stuff that I am activating has come from the book. Does this make any sense?

100% comprehension is impossible. Really that's not a very useful purpose.

Since it is the PhotoReading book the purpose learning PhotoReading is fair enough but why do you want to learn PhotoReading? where do you want to apply it? That's your real purpose.

Because any a poor purpose is no better than no purpose. What do you want to use PhotoReading for? Then you get to the questions like, How does one PhotoRead, Why would I need to say the chant. When should I activate, Why should I activate.

You know it makes sense when it makes sense... to you. And believe it or not some details are covered more in the book than on the audio.

'Since it is the PhotoReading book the purpose learning PhotoReading is fair enough but why do you want to learn PhotoReading? where do you want to apply it? That's your real purpose'.

When you say Where I want to apply it, are you talking about where I want to apply it in the real world or where I want to apply it in the book that I am photoreading.

I said that I wanted to photoread to read faster. Do I need to improve on this purpose.

Also in a previous post someone says how they know that they have got 80% comprehension but you and 'photoreadforme' said 'you should not limit yourself to 80% comprehension. You should always aim for 100% comprehension.' Or something along the lines of that. So how is it impossibe to get 100% comprehension.

I don't want to memorize the whole book but I want 100% understanding of the book.

Real world.

Now why would you want to do that when you could watch a DVD, catch tadpoles, walk the dog, make the bed? Why is reading faster important? What's the Point? The answer to that is your real purpose.

quote:
Do I need to improve on this purpose.

Consider why you want to read a book then double check your answer and ask why do you want to do that?

What you do then move from a broad purpose, That gives you broard answers to a more specific need for which you expect to find answers in the book. You'll also find activation becomes more details but easier because you have a speciifc focus or need to meet

You won't get 100% comprehension of the whole book.

You do want and can expect 100% comprehension of the parts of book that is important for you, for the reason (your purpose) that you are activating the book. The rest of the book can wait and will be there if you need it but whatever you take from the book right now, well, you want 100% of that.

To see the how I used the code. Click on the edit, the paper and pencil, icon in my post you can't change anything anyway.

By default the stuff is there when you hit the reply with quote icon, last one on the right, of the person you want to quote.
