Ok been having problems. I think it would be easier to just give you all the steps I am using for example "Awaken the Giant Within":
Purpose:
I whole heartedly desire to learn, understand, and put to use the powerful techniques found in "Awaken the Giant Within" to take control and improve my health, beliefs, emotions, relationships, career, and life in general.
Then I do a fast preview of the book writing down trigger words - My mind usually forms questions from those words so I just jot those down along with the trigger words. I made general questions out of the chapter titles.
After the preview I go into Alpha - Tangerine - State intention/purpose.
Photoread (no problem with that really). Most books I make 3 passes one front to back, upside down back to front, then front to back. (Lol - just because it is fun and I like this step). Doing the 1-2-3-4 turn chant. Sometimes I state purpose again between passes (did that on other books). This particular book is long so I did 2 passes.
Affirm when done.
Wait at least 20 minutes (usually I try photoreading before bed when it is quiet and wait until the next morning). I get a buzzing sensation for a bit afterwards - this only happens on books I have NOT read or photoread. To me it seems/feels like new material just gets shoved right in the ol' noggin. Love it!
Activation I am having a bit of a problem. I activated only a few books so far and it was amazing but not this particular book. I've done nothing different really. (Could be purpose I don't know).
Anyway, on this book I tried activating in 2 chapter blocks instead of the whole thing at once. I began my mind map by just using the 2 chapter titles as a starting point. With purpose in mind and armed with my trigger words and questions I immediately took the primary questions on the chapter titles and added those to the mind maps with links to the center.
Now when I did that I felt compelled to answer and felt I knew the answer but couldn't remember or think of it. So I began pass 1 on the chapters superreading spending about 8-15 seconds per page - sometimes quicker. That pass I felt the need to read several times. I just dipped for investigation to see if related to my questions. If it didn't I bypassed yet kept them in mind if other questions were raised.
At the end of pass 1 I was able to map out adding a couple tidbits to the answer of the questions. Yet was not getting the "gel" or the click.
5 minute break...
Pass 2 I superread and dipped again. When done I answered bot primary questions. But I had more questions stemming from those answers and various words I did notice.
5 minute break...
Pass 3 same... My mind map was growing and coming together...yet no mental "gel" or click.
5 minute break...
Etc...through 10 passes.
Now my first few activations on other books I got a "gel" which the whole thing came together instantly around pass 3-4. Most of it came to me through images -- like a video playing of the concepts of those books -- and also conscious recall of finer details from the inner mind of knowing. Darn near could answer any question I didn't ask or answer previously.
What am I doing so wrong with this book that it just doesn't click? I tried different purposes even but nothing. I re-pr'd the book on changing purpose. Just to know avail. Anyone have any suggestions or clue as to what I may be doing wrong?
