Hi Matt,
"I would expect if you have previewed the book for you to have some familiarity with the book. By the time i've done a quick preview i already know which sections are most likely to yield the information I need. So I wonder if you really have your goal in mind when previewing."
I thought that familiarity means that when I Superread and Dip I have the feeling that I already know everything in the book as if I would have finished reading it conventionally five minutes ago.
"Are you saying you don't get the blip page at all?"
I've seen it twice or thrice altogether since I try PR. But those were more flashes. I couldn't hold it. I tried to find the right way to look at the book but I'm not able to do it intentionally.
I'm also unable to see stereograms. I've read a bit about it and came to the conclusion that I'm not able to see them because I have a very dominant right eye.
I'm farsighted (not much), wear glasses and my left eye is weaker than my right one which seems to be the reason for it's dominance.
In the book Paul Scheele writes that it's recommended to do vision training.
But could this really get my eyes even?
I've asked my ophthalmologist if it's possible to improve eyesight naturally and she said no. And I don't want to have a laser-op.
In a Blip-Page-Thread on this forum Alex Viefhaus says that it's not necessary to see the Blip-Page to be able to PR, that it's just a visual cue that you're in Photofocus.
When I'm in Photofocus I recognize the whole book without being able to identify the words. After a few pages I fall into some kind of trance. It feels very intense, nothing exists except the book and there's a comfortable feeling in my brain.
I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right. I mean I follow all the steps but today I recognized that I'm too passive with the conscious parts of PR. I'm just awaiting that my sub-con does all the work.
With every book I PR I understand it better, but it takes more time than I thought to overcome my old reading habits or better said my concept of how the reading process has to happen.
In another thread I read a comment by you that one has to think of PR as a communication with the author. This was a very interesting point.
I used it with the last book and . . . I don't know how to describe it but it felt like I had made a step forward.
More and more I understand that PR is not just a different way to read but a different concept of thinking. Or rather a conscious imitation of the brains natural processes.
Thank you very much for being responsive to all my questions.
