We keep the conscious mind out of the way by saying a mantra. It gives the conscious mind something to do. Your intention that the material does become accessible to the conscious mind still needs to be set. If you let the mind wander off then you're telling yourself it's not important. Technically you've been PhotoReading as long as you've been reading. You just never used the resources of the mind.
Keep doing what you've always done you keep getting what you always got. If you want to succeed using PhotoReading you need to make some changes. Prepare.
