Seeing the blip is NOT important
Divergent gaze is what you use to see the imaginary X as well as the blip.
Convergent gaze is crossing your eyes it means you are still trying to see with your primary focus. With the soft gaze you are using more of your peripheral vision. The peripheral vision is what allows the mind to process the information preconsciously. With PhotoReading you are deliberately accessing your preconscious processor.
