Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Mind Probing

I haven't understood the "idea" of mind probing at all.
When i do mind probing i should formulate specific questions on what i have just photoread. But how can i formulate questions about something my conscious mind doesn't know at all? And even more, if i forget asking questions about some important concepts in the book, when i super read will i lose these concepts because i haven't done questions about them?

oh, i was forgetting: should i write the questions i have done during mind probing?

Mind probing is simply asking yourself questions. Deciding what you would like to know. Mind probing could also be called musing. What you think about the topic, what you are curious to know more about how you could apply it in your life. Stuff like that.

Just thinking to get your curiousity going.

yes alex. just to make an example, i have to read something related to philosophy, you know, Hegel.
my questions could be:
what does hegel think about cristianism?
why does he talk about absolute as humanity?
what does he say in contrast with kant and romantic people?
what does he talk about in his dialectical method?
something like these or more like these:
what should i know to do well in my oral exam?
what is there which can help me in my studies?

sorry for my so poor english

That's the idea of mind probling. Then you can pick one or two of those questions to start activating.

Sorry, alex, i could seem redundant, but i haven't understood if my questions should be generic like these (what should i know to do well in my oral exam?
what is there which can help me in my studies?)
or more specific like these(what does hegel think about cristianism?
why does he talk about absolute as humanity?
what does he say in contrast with kant and romantic people?
what does he talk about in his dialectical method?).

so, what kind of questions, generic or specific (much more related to what i have read)?

thanks.

My dear friend. The answer to that question depends on your purpose. It can be a combination of both where your purpose is concerned.

What do you plan to do with the information beyond the exam? How should it serve you? And what do you need to know so it can serve you that way.

It's perfectly fine to ask what do I need to know to pass the exam. You'll need an answer to that when it comes to knowing what parts you should concentrate on activating. If you don't get an answer to that go for questions that relate to the book.

The purpose of mind probing is to build your curiosity for the book. Then when you get to activating you've got a desire to know what the book is about and an idea of what it is you desire to know. You don't necessarily need all the answers to all your mind probing questions.
