Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Answer keeps hidden during activation

Hello,

I'm currently doing 5 days test(s) and a question appeared.
How to proceed, if during activation, answer to mindprobing question persistently denies to appear? (keeps hidden or simply does not exist in the book).
I guess one shouldn't try to find answer for too long, or?
If yes, is there a rough timelimit, which I can use?

Any hint is appreciated.

Hey Hermi

You have obviously determine from the preview that the book is worth your time reading. So, I must ask you this: did you pull out trigger words, 20-25 of them.

Normally you start formulating questions from these trigger words. You cant go wrong that way because you have seen these 'mind-triggering' words in the book. So there is information about these words/phrases in the book. Once you start to explore the book, you will no doubt come across new 'mind-triggering' words/phrases that you can write down again or mentally note. Then on your second activation gel session use these to formulate new mind-probing questions. It is the questions that are the magnets for the information and also the pegs to which the information eventually becomes glued to. Never underestimate the power to questions

Hi JoeBlogs,

thx for reply.
Yes after postview, I've pulled such an amount of triggerwords. I used titles of book to create triggerwords. Out of these triggerwords I've then created mind probing questions.
Of course, I agree that there is/must be some information about these triggerwords, but may be not every possible information and in some rare cases I created mind probing questions, where I couldn't find the answer in the text. So it seemd, this specific info, I've asked for, was not contained in text. And question now was, how to proceed in such a case?

Hermi

My suggestion is if this book is not going to be examined then the answer to your mind-probing question will be found in another book.

But if the book is to be studied for school, then the question you asked will not be examined, obviously, because the answer doesn't exist. If on the very rare occassion you went 'blind' when searching and passed over it, then you must determine if this is probable and decide how much time you will spend searching for it.

You must dominate the book, take control. Make a decision to whether you will spend another 20min pass on the book (i.e activation section)

Hermi since you pulled trigger words the and you're curious about those trigger workd there might be one or two things going on that prevents you from finding the answers.

First consider the type of question. Ask Who, What, When, Where, Why and How in relation to the trigger words.

If you're still not getting anything from the activation try turning bold type, subheadings and chapter headings into questions. By default the answers will usually be in the paragraphs that follow also look at the index the items with the most page numbers after them is what the author considered important.

The other thing that may happen is you're expecting too much from the first activation pass. It may take 2 or 3 activation passes in the beginning before you feel like you've got a grasp of what the author is talking about. In the first activation you may only be getting an answer or two. That doesn't seem like everything to know in the book and it's not that's why you are building with more activation passes the next day (or session). So at this point you might just need to "go easy on yourself' You're learning.

Again thanks for the hints. This helped.
Especially the "1 or 2 answers in 1st activation pass" hint was also my experience. After pulling about 25 triggerwords and turning it into, let's say, 30 mindprobing questions, a small calculation after 1st pass leads to <=30 passes. Result is a frightening feeling, that someting is going totally wrong
OK, I'll take it much more easier now.

Hermi

Of all the mindprobing questions formulated, you just might end up answering them all in the first activation pass.

Just because you pulled out 20-25 trigger words doesn't mean they are all germane for deeper probing. Remember your purpose when formulating questions as well, so you don't end up becoming side-tracked.

Remember your purpose. Those 20 - 25 trigger words (30 says you're spending too much time previewing) are like filling the tank to reach a destination. For most books thats more than you need for a textbook you might need pull some more trigger words to refuel. Textbooks are longer usually a longer journey. And the tank is ready for the next trip. You will reach a point where you no longer write down trigger words for the average book you'll notice 5 to 8 and proceed from there.

Form one or two questions to start it's much less intimidating.

In the seminar we activate for 3 to 8 minutes and then talk about the activation. What they noticed and what they considered important. Everyone throws in their findings and they notice that with the stuff they hear from others they are saying yeah I saw that but didn't consider it important for my purpose. The point is they were able to confirm they too are aware of that being in the book. No one has ever gone... "Where did they say that?" The difference is in the purpose of the reader.
