Hi Alex,
Yes, you are right again converging your eyes will not result in successfull activation it would just be a waste of time. As a matter of fact looking in the center of the book and seeing the blip is not the right way either. I looked on page 46 in the photoreading book and realized that everything I've been doing to photofocus was completely wrong well, not all wrong but, just the wrong approach. As I looked back on 46 It stated "Seeing the cocktail weenie demonstrates you are diverging your eyes instead of converging them on a fixed point of hard focus. When you do this your peripheral awareness expands..." If I had looked and read the book word for word as it stated I would not have wasted so much time on converging. Although, I am happy I learned converging for other practices besides PR. Now I've been practicing the Cocktail Weenie technique for a bit and I must say that it is challenging. I am trying to fix my gaze and do it to the point that I will see the weenie without converging the eyes inwards. Using this method while looking on top the surface of the book I'm reading is also a bit challenging. But, atleast now I've reached a step further in my PR because now I know I've made errors and this gives me an edge in progressing. I will make another reply once I see what happends to me next.
Crumb,
