Hi Matt,
I'm sorry for the late answer.
"Great news... you've made my day. The fact that you are now active in the conversation between you and your book means that you are already in the top percent or so of readers in the world!"
That's nice to read.
"And it's so much more fun, isn't it?"
Definitly.
The first three steps of PR work pretty well now. I'm a bit slow yet and easily distracted if I'm not in this kind of trance-like state during Photofocus but it will get better with consequent practicing.
Otherwise I have some problems with activating.
Or better said I don't know what to do.
Until now I waited with activation until the next day.
I start activating with reading my notices(title, author, trigger words, purpose) and take a look at the book cover and the first few pages.
Then I close my eyes, enter my imaginitive relaxing place where I'm welcomed by the author. We shake hands, have some small-talk and finally I ask him about the book using the trigger words to formulate my questions.
I forgot to mention that before I enter my relaxing place (but after closing my eyes) I restate my purpose.
First I state my BIG purpose (I want to improve as a man), to which I link the purpose for reading the book. I think of the BIG, more holistic purpose as an ideal help for the "book purpose" as it gets a clear goal and focus which (I think) makes it easier and more effective for my mind to process the following information from the book.
After talking with the author I start Super reading. And that's where the misery begins.
Should I have all my (MP) questions in my mind while reading or just the trigger words? Should I also think about my purpose all the time?
At first I picked out a single (trigger) word and then started SR.
I seemed to be able to "read" whole paragraphs and if my word was part of it my eyes didn't move on. They sticked to it.
But I didn't know what to do with it. Should I read the prior paragraph or the following or the whole page? Some trigger words I found in about every second sentence of a chapter.
Sometimes the author writes so much to the point that I have the feeling I can't leave out anything without missing something important, other writers just tell stories and to understand what they want to tell me I have to read the whole story.
Maybe it's just my lack of confidence and experience with using SR and Dipping but I don't know how to extract the information I need without reading most of the book.
(Besides this: The fact that I'm able to activate the book, that my sub-con leads my eyes to the trigger words, makes me happy as I see it as another step forward.)
Could you give me some advice, Matt?
If other people from the forum are able to give me some input they are naturally welcome too.
