In the interest of discussion, No. Not because we don't have the ability, it is because driving a semi truck is a completely different skill to achieving a drivers license. Developing a new skill requires learning the procedures and techniques involved. no exceptions.

Ah that being said is there not a possibility that when we are new to photoreading that we have not yet acquired the procedures and techniques involved. Could we also say that learning to photoread and activate is a skill to be learned. Normally people would learn to drive a car before they would learn to drive a giant truck. Can you understand the logic of learning to use the photoreading system on more basic books before using it on complex, difficult books. I am not saying never use photoreading on complex books it has been used successfully i can give you examples of people using photoreading with physics i am saying learn it on a basic book first. This goes back to my statement first we learn to crawl, then we learn to walk, then we learn to run. Not immediately i am going to run when i have not learned to crawl or walk yet.

Absolutely! I completely agree. Practice, Practice, Practice.

If you agree then why would you say have someone try to activate advanced books when they have not even attempted to active a regular book. To practice, practice, practice i would suggest Paul Scheele's statement use it,use it, use it.
If you cannot activate a simple book how in the world are you going activate a complex, complicated textbook? What is the problem with activating a simple book.

There is no problem, it is a valid method of gaining confidence and experience during the learning process. My question to you is; Why must a person follow a strict and rigid set of rules and procedures for what they are trying to achieve? This entire concept is exactly what Paul is trying to draw us away from, the same system drilled into us from day one K through Graduation. The genius behind Paul's entire system is the belief that humans learn through mistakes, trial and error and Creativity. If we try to steer people along a straight paved road we are simply enforcing the very system which has stifled the creative and genius minds of countless millions throughout the course of last century or more. If they feel comfortable learning from a Textbook, I say let them!

My suggestion is to guide people. Don't tell people. Let them experiment for themselves, they will be far more inspired when they discover for themselves what amazing and previously unimaginable heights they can attain. They will respect you more for it.

There is a problem with people attempting to active a complex book when they haven't even learned to active a simple book. Do a search on textbooks you will find plenty of examples of people struggling with attempting to active textbooks. The photoreading system is not a bunch of strict rules and procedures. Why make it more difficult on people? Why not let them have some successes on basic books first then let them transfer that skill to more complex books. If someone can successfully activate complex, difficult textbooks wonderful! That would be great! However the reality is most people start with the basics and as i said earlier do a search you will not find loads and loads of brand new photoreaders instantly successfully activating textbooks.

I am not here to give people orders. My intent was based on my previous experience of how i saw so many people struggling with textbooks was to give people the best information i had to put people in the best position to succeed with photoreading.

I don't believe its resistance to the concept, people are searching for answers to legitimate questions. Tell me, how would you classify these books?

A self help book about relationships.
A book about Computer Programming.
PhotoReading Whole Mind System.
and a Physics Text.

Me? Id say they are all educational. Each contains the information that we need to put into practice the skills involved with each subject. So why would you use one over any other to learn the skills involved with Photoreading? In fact, in the program, Paul suggests doing just that, to photoread his book.


A self help book i would consider a regular book.
A book on computer programming i would consider a technical book.
Photoreading Whole Mind System i would consider a simple book.
A Physics Text i would consider a complex textbook.

I would say you want to consider where a person is in their stage of development with photoreading. Why should we make it intentionally more difficult for the new photoreader to learn photoreading. I never said never use photoreading on complex books. I said learn to use it on more basic books first. Why make it harder?

In my opinion, the reason Paul suggests, as you mention, "don't practice Photoreading, Just use it" is because the act of practicing brings to mind conscious effort on the part of the student, and as we all know, the conscious mind filters all that we try to do and makes learning the skills much more difficult.

Then why would you say "practice, practice, practice"?
