If you did I'd have to say that you're very ignorant to other truths. Converging your eyes allows you to soft focus and if you paid any attention to what I was trying to explain you'd see that there are other methods to accomplish the same soft focus. As I typed before you don't need the x technique either. All you need to do is focus on the center of the book and concentrate on the white space outside of the text. You only use the x on the four corners to visualize and widen your focus so you can see the blip in the center, other than that you really don't need to imagine any x. Once the blip appears the text blurs and that's what matters. The idea is allow only your sub-conscious to absorb the material and keep the ego from taking in anything. Which ever method anyone decides to use is up to them!

As I said in the email explaining why I deleted your post. I don't want people to use cross eyed viewing. It inhibits the access to the preconsious processor and makes activation miserable as if you haven't absorbed the information. You won't get the feeling of familarity with the text.

It's much easier just to slightly defocus the eyes and see both pages of the book with a relaxed gaze. It's bad enough we don't blink enough when we read on a computer screen due to squinting. It makes for sore dry eyes lets not add to eye strain by crossing the eyes. It doesn't even serve PhotoReading anyway

So folks Alex says, "Don't cross your eyes to PhotoRead. Now I won't say that your eyes will stay that way. However can you imagine how you would look flipping pages of a book upside down with your eye crossed in a book shop? Add the touch of concentration where you start sticking your tongue out. :P

If I can't convince you that crossing your eyes isn't PhotoReading I hope that image will make you think twice about straining your eyes
