Do you know what second guessing your brain means? It means your brain has provided you with the information you have asked for but instead you choose not to accept it by blocking it and then through effort you try and pull the information you want from your head. I bet you are a person who feels that you need to stress a little bit to get want you want from your memory (i.e. recalling data). This is the total opposite of what photoreading is trying to teach you.
By photoreading your eyes separate (i.e. move to the outer corner of your eyes, rest close to your temples, referred to as divergent gaze) allowing you to take in more of the big picture. Just as a side note, the martial arts known as Aikido helps to train you in the ability to see the big picture by helping you to discover the divergent gaze of seeing the world. By seeing the world this way you are opening yourself up to receiving all information.
Please test this for yourself. When you feel someone is trying to dominate you by calling you names and such notice what happens to your eyes. I can guarantee that they will look towards your nose. This action by your eyes helps you to forget what just happened. It is a self-defence mechanism. Now, instead of letting this happen to you, use the soft gaze (divergent eyes) looking from the corner of your eyes. You will feel in control.
Now getting back to your story. If you keep practising photoreading there will come a time when you realise what Learning Strategies is trying to teach you. You will see both pages of a book clearly (through practising photofocus), flip through it at a page a second, and voila, things will just pop into your head that you can then relay to a third person.
You must remember that when you read without applying the photoreading system does the information 'pop' into your head any different. NO it doesn't. PHOTOREADING ALLOWS MORE INFORMATION TO JUST MAGICALLY APPEAR IN YOUR HEAD BECAUSE YOU ARE SEEING A WHOLE PAGE, MAY TWO PAGES, INSTEAD OF SEEING ONE WORD AND AT WORST ONE SYLLABLE.
DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND.
