The words are supposed to be blurred because you are sending information to the other than conscious mind. If you consciously saw the words it would go to the conscious mind and that would prevent you from sending the information to the other than conscious mind and that would not be photoreading. So you are on the right track you should not be seeing words when photoreading because the whole point is to send information to the other than conscious mind.
You consciously see the words when you are activating with superreading and dipping and skittering. You do not see the words when photoreading and the words should be a blur when photoreading.
You can learn photoreading from the book. There are photoreaders that have learned photoreading from the book only. The photoreaders that did learn photoreading from the book did also use this forum as well to help them learn photoreading.
