How do you distinguish a goal from a purpose?

I have been photoreading the photoreading book at least 3 times a day for a little over 2 weeks now. So far I've only had one spontaneous experience, it was an awesome feeling. But it was only for a short while. I have read the whole book the old way, but it feels like I'm still missing something.

This is what I usually say to my inner mind when I state my purpose.

I desire the information in this book Photoreading Whole Mind System by Paul Scheele (picture the cover page) to accomplish my purpose of "Learning how to photoread by understanding the techiniques within this book and be able to apply them into my daily life. This book will shift me into a new paradigm of reading."

Is the aforementioned a goal or a purpose?

Also I notice that when I'm photoreading I adjust the speed of my chant by how fast I flip the page. Am I suppose to keep the same speed for every photoreading session?

Alex, If you don't mind, could you please elaborate more on how to make your mantra? This sounds like an intriguing technique.

If you folks don't mind, I would like to share my experience with photoreading a chapter in my textbook. I did the five day test on this chapter. Although it is not recommended for beginners to photoread educational books, I did so anyways because I had to. I would photoread the previous chapter and the following chapter atleast twice a day. I followed the five day test iterinary. When I would super read I noticed that i'm dipping into the bolded letters which are the key definitions. I don't know if I was doing it right because it was the bolded text that was the one popping up. When I tried skittering I would read the first sentence and move my eyes everywhere on the paragraph, it was weird but for some reason i was understanding the paragraph. But not fully, it as if my mind was close to understanding the content but it felt really unorganized. This would work on some paragraphs and some not. I reviewed my trigger words after every session. Nothing was coming up though, but I still answered them and guess what they meant. I checked my answers later and realized that most of my answers were correct. There were some that were close but just didn't hit the spot. I don't really know if it was the photoreading system that answered those trigger words correctly or just my logic.

I rapid read the sections I wasn't certain of, the last section of the chapter, which I didn't have enough time to super read and skitter. I noticed rapid reading was easier it felt like I read the section already. After rapid reading I notice that this section didn't have anything to do with my purpose.

As I'am writing this i have to realized that i have met my purpose. My only doubt is did the photoreading work or was it just me going through the chapter multiple of times?

I apologize for the long story, I just wanted to share and hopefully get some feedback.

Thanks,
Braxton
