No it means when you do enough activation layers it comes together. Like a painting one stroke at a time.
So do 5 or 6 20 minute activation layers and it will start coming together around then. It can seem like nothing happens. The mistake is to give up too soon.
If you spend only 30 minutes with a book with traditional reading and only read the first chapter, you know you're not done. You usually have another 12 chapters to go (on a 200 to 300 page non-fiction book). Even after reading for an hour you're not going to say your finished.
Beginning PhotoReaders give up in the first 10 minutes. Give it some more activation layers for it to gel.
Spontaneous activation is spontaneous. It's unplanned and cannot be co-erst into being because anything you then do becomes manual activation.
