First of all I would like to talk about my experience with the photoReading whole mind system. Please reply so I can get to the bottom of this and start noticing some positive results.
I am typing this fast and have a lot of stuff to cover so my spelling and grammar may be off.
I've listened to the Photoreading Whole Mind system course several times and have completed all the excersise as I was told by Paul Scheele. After 9 months of continuous hard work with the system I still haven't gotten any positive results. I've also used tape 7A to practice on applying the system. I understand the importance of taking breaks. Anyways...
This is what I did.
First of all I make sure I state a clear purpose. I make sure the purpose I create is something that is easily controllable by me.
Here's a couple purposes:
"By photoreading the book ____ by ____ I will understand how to ____ and be able to apply it to ______."
"The reason for photoreading this book is so that I can do this and be able to apply it to this area of my life."
1.) Prepare - This is where I get into the accelerated learning state. I do this by closing my eyes, breathing deeply (until relaxed), using my mind to get the feeling of a tangerine resting on the top back part of my head (sometimes i imagine myself pressing the back part of my head), imagining a beautiful flower in nature (with moisture on the flower for extra detail) and then gently opening my eyes which leads me to the 2nd step of the system.
2.) Preview - While in the accelerated learning state I photoread the table of contents first then I super read and rapid read the table of contents. Then I regular read it. Then I go through the book like 5 pages at a time to pick up some trigger words until I reach the end of the book. The whole preview step takes me about 10 mins sometimes 15 mins. Then I take a 15 min break. Before I go into the photoreading step I photoflip through the book.
Blip page: When I see the blip page sometimes i see like a yellow glow or a 3rd page bridging 2 pages.
3.) I get into photofocus. By closing my eyes taking some deep breaths until I am relaxed. I Imagine myself on a beach relaxing on a recliner in hawaii and listen to the waves. Then I notice the smile around my eyes and do the tangerine technique. Then I open to the page I want to begin on. When I photoread I imagine an X joining the 4 corners and notice the white space between the letters. And chant relax-relax-4-3-2-1-relax-keep-the-state-see-the-page over and over again until I am done photoreading the book front to back and back to front upside down. Then when I am done I do affirmations. "The information from this book by ______ title: _____ has made a lasting impression on my inner mind and is now available to me". "The information from this book is purposeful and now allows me to ____". And I've created a few other positive suggestive affirmations.
Aside: After I am done photoreading if I look through the book I notice I get recall of the pages in the book. But little if any comprehension of the material in the book (it's mostly recall of the pictures and structure of paragraphs). I understand that at this point I shouldn't be an expert or know very much about the book at all because I haven't activated it yet. It's interesting how i get recall of how the pages look but I get very little recall of the book when it isn't in front of me.
4.) Superread - I get into the accelerated learning state. Then I look from the top of the page down to the bottom one line at a time (I spend about 20 seconds a page). Again I do my affirmations to allow the information to go deeper into my inner mind. I've tried superreading the same book 10 times and still have little if any comprehension of the book. What's happening here? Hmmm I must have questions to probe my mind so I ask myself questions about a book and still haven't succeeded in getting anything significant.
As another activating technique I create mind maps with colors, pictures and symbols that have meaning to me. I am as creative as possible with it.
5.) Rapid Read - I feel that I am forced to rapid read the books that I have used the whole mind system on. There must be something that I am doing for me to get the results i don't want. After all the photoreading whole mind system is supposed to have a high success ratio. I know that I am capable of doing anything i set my mind to. I am an engineer and would be happy to see the HUGE benefits people claim they get from this program.
Now I am going to talk about the paraliminals that I listen to:
Here is a list of paraliminals I've listened to:
1) Personal Genius 100 times
2) Memory Super Charger 50 times
3) Instantaneous personal magnetism 20 times
4) Abundance 10 times
5) Sales leap 10 times
6) Dream Play 10 times
In general I haven't gotten any benefits from any of these paraliminals after listening to them 100 times. I always refer to the paraliminal case cards. All I've expereince was more dreams and some negative effects. These tapes have taken over my life for 9 months because i keep listening to the tapes expecting some gain from it each time. I am a tapoholic and self-helpoholic i think this stuff is really taking over my life. I'm begining to think that the conventional way of doing things really is the easiest way to do things. Because listening to this tapes over and over again is just nuts!
1) Personal Genius - I did get an effect from it but it was negative. It seems like whenever I finish listening to this paraliminal I get increased levels of anxiety and feel stressed for absolutely no reason. I try and do some work but it really hasn't enhanced any of my natural abilities. I've tried several purposes while using this recording but haven't noticed improvement in those areas of my life. Will this paraliminal make me smart by making me crazy first? Is this why a lot of geniuses have their crazy ways?
2) Memory Super Charger - I haven't noticed a substantial benefit from this paraliminal. I was using this paraliminal to help me activate material from books i've photoread. But haven't noticed any gain. It feels like I am using the same memory I've always had. Not a better memory.
3) Instantaneous personal magnetism - No noticed results
5) Sales leap - Hasn't increased any of my sales or success when it comes to presenting things to people.
6) Dream play - Still haven't experienced any lucid dreams. Hasn't improved the complexity of my dreams. Hasn't given me dreams to help me problem solve. I've actually started experiencing more dreams after using the other paraliminals first.
7) Talking to win - Hasn't improved my presentation skills. It has made me notice people's talking patterns. It made me more aware of my own voice.
Things i've tried:
I was always optimistic while using the program
I've used visualization (Law of Attraction)
I've looked at pages and imagined pages going to life to replace the imaginary X joining the 4 corners in photoreading
I've read several posts on the forum
I've tried reading other self-help and psychology books to help benefit me.
Getting little if any benefit from these products is very frustrating especially when you think positive and expect positive outcomes. This stuff seems like these products are make me delusional instead.
Please reply so I can get to the bottom of this and start noticing some positive results. I hope this post helps me and all other people who read it.
Thanks.
