I was wondering if to see those 3-D pictures would mean that you would have to be in the photofocus state. I am having a hard time achieving the relaxed mental state, and even seeing those pictures is a challenge to me.
Also, if anyone could tell me some tricks to getting into this relaxed state I would definitely appreciate it.

Those 3-D pictures certainly helped me develop my photofocus state. Now I can see the blip page instantly. I would recommend looking at few of those pictures each day.

One way I achieve a state of relaxed awareness is to close my eyes for a few moments and to keep them shut as I roll my eyes up as if I'm trying to look through the centre of my forehead. I keep my eyes rolled back like this whilst I take a few deep breaths and mentally repeat the word "relax". I find I enter the relaxed state instantly.

The reason I roll my eyes back is because I've heard it stimulates the production of alpha waves in the brain, which are conductive to relaxation. Hope this helps a little.

hello friends
i have tried to photoread a book for the first time after listening to the tapes "Paul s startling discoveries" at 36th minute he said that just intend the purpose and start fliping the pages in photofocus state that will get u into the state required for pring so i got a book insted of dictionary at that movement and made my purpose like this "what is the first word in the page 72 of the book and consciously repeated the purpose to maintain the present movement as told by cris payne in her tips to photoread and fliped the pages as i was fliping the blury pages in photofocus and suddenly i felt something bloom like a flash and turned the page back to my surprise it was 72 page i saw the word that's funny and i tried two more words that seems to be working but do we really get into the state reqired for pring just fliping pages in photo focus state?
once i went to mr svk my phsics lecturer and psyciatrist,he know brain functioning he knew about pringand long ago said that to enter theta state dont do all that just do the thing which u want(he ment fliping) and the brain will adjust itself but i didn't get him at that time but i tried it after listening to above tapes
plzzzzzzz help me out whether we get into state by just fliping pages.
when i mailed alex he replied like this:-
If you want to get into the flow with PhotoReading. Close your eyes take a deep breath
touch the top back part of your head and imagine the tangerine there. Affirm your
purpose and intent and flip the pages. PhotoRead the book.

Do that for 30 books over the next 3 days and you'll get into the flow state for PhotoReading.
will it really work
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 02/15/12 09:40 AM
Try it and see. Because I can and will say, yes. And you'd already know for yourself by now if you'd just do it.

I have tried it like this
i entered photofocus and kept the tangarine in position and tried pring after that i fliped the pages only once but didnot activate the book
is it better to activate the book after repeating the procces 3 to 4 times or can we activate it after once as a biginer
Posted By: vinay kumar Re: Photofocus state - 02/21/12 07:17 AM
I heard in a tape by paul scheele he said that once a qigong master observed photoreaders and said that they do not send information through the eyes but through the third eye to the lower dauntain position
as i came accross sfq i tried to absorb the book maintaining the above proccedure and visualise energy absorption through the third eye after few movements i feel some pleasent energy absorbing above my eye brows in the middle and i suddenly closed my eyes and there was a closed book in front of my eyes and it appeared like image in mt mind
does it mean that i was doing correctly
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 02/21/12 08:29 AM
Activate some books and see. If you need me to validate what you're doing, you ain't got it.

Alex
any way i didn't try to activate the books but i felt a small vibration i n my fore head above the center of eye brow
i have read in a forum that when third eye activates it vibrates a gland connected to it very violently

as i started regular reading it stopped to vibrate
and i tried to do the process of flipping pages after flipping 10 pages it stated to vibrate again
for few times i switched between pring and regular reading
but the feeling continued and i tried
suddenly while i was pring stopped it in the middle and started regular reading but the feeling continued
and i observed the things going on but
i observed that though i was doing regular reading i was not focusing on words instead i was focusing on the white space which was done in photofocus
i feel that the dazling feel of vibration is something related to energy transfer from the forehead to the book and back to forehead again
as stated by paul scheele in his discoveries related to absorption of the book
haven't u ever experienced these feelings while pring
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 02/23/12 02:51 AM
Follow the steps, after PhotoReading the books activate. Stop analysing and start benefiting from the process.

What I experience I don't discuss because the learner starts analysing and not doing the process.

See what benefits are in all your feelings by activating some of the books you've PhotoRead. If it's good for you you're good to go.

thank u for not writing about ur experiances bcozz i was really analysing things without following the benifits of the system
i tried to activate the matirial which i proccessed while pring
i feel little past connection with the material though i have never read that part of book before
though i can't mentally remember the photograph of the page
and i experianced some difference while reading is that
some how i was seeing the white space in the book while doing regular reading

should i do pring multiple times a book
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 02/23/12 07:49 AM
PhotoReading isn't about remembering the photographed page. It's processing the photographed page. An appreciable difference. It's the difference between being able to recite like a parrot or teach/ explain like a professor.

If photographic memory were such a great tool in conscious understanding we would never have dropped it as we grew up. Once we started understanding concepts we started compressing the information from photographic memory into meaningful units. It makes sense for me to say sit on a chair (a meaningful unit or idea considering how different chairs look in every home) and know you can understand what a chair is without you having to go back through your folder of photographic memories (which we still have but access faster because we've processed the information for meaning) to figure out what I mean by chair.

There is little point in PhotoReading if you plan only to store the information to "read later" from a photographic picture of the page.

Your mind will have processed the information. Learning the PhotoReading system helps you tap that knowledge rather than leaving it in storage. That's why I keep saying activate.

The more you activate the faster you get and the less you need to activate because you trained your body mind connection to tap that information.

PhotoRead once, Activate in multiple short layers. If you maths is poor take my word for it 6 times 20 minutes is less than 1 time 15 hours. (or 1 times 900 minutes)

hi alex
do u mean with photoreading we can understand the written material many times faster than regular reading the same material but not a photographic recall of the page
it means just to precess the page to understand it the best with meaning isn't it
LIKE PARALIMINALS WE DO NOT KNOW that we have learn't them implicitly but we are learning things
so u say that we are integrating them into our brain like a stimulus to the question rather than the photograph of the page which is of no use
then i have atlast photoread the book
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 03/05/12 07:42 AM
It's not a Photographic memory technique because the mind processes the information. If it relied on photographic memory you'd just be turning your head into a library and still traditionally reading the book to get what you need from them.

PhotoReading uses our natural ability for implicit learning.

After PhotoReading you have little to no conscious knowledge of what you saw. Start asking the right questions and looking at the right parts of the book you get it together much faster than traditionally reading. Remember one of the tips of superreading and dipping - stop dipping before you think you're finished. Once you understand you don't need to read more however our habit is to finish reading anyway, which in itself is just unnecessary time, since you "understand'.

i have a problem with comprehension as it was very less
and i have to read more to activate the text is there any paraliminal tape to improve our skills as a photoreader
Posted By: vinay kumar Re: Photofocus state - 03/06/12 05:32 AM
Alex any way i have problem with photofocus state i tried pring and i entered als and into focus and started again to photoread but i can't get any thing by sr and dipping i was very much vexed learning the system but i believe strongly that pring is possible
i have been trying to learn the system for one year using the personal learning course but unable to learn it

i can see the blip page but i can't see the stereo-gram though i can maintain three dots still but i can't see the word photoreading
i tried the 7a tape entered the als and after that into the photofocus but it is of no use i would like to interact with some person lively online to get suggestion
i want to learn it from webinar but i can't afford it
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 03/08/12 07:38 AM
Comprehension requires that you ask activate with questions and a purpose in mind. If you have no purpose and no questions for the author there is no point in activating the book.

If you see the blip page you have an excellent cue that you are in photofocus. Quit stressing the PhotoReading step.

It's not the PhotoReading step that is the problem it's missing the importance of step one which should be applied prior to every step of the system. Every time you start with a book (and that includes activation you apply step one.

it was fine ok to say that
i was doing correctly up to photreading
as it has only purpose followed by the Als
which is just focusing inward that can be done by me in 15seconds or less and next to photofocus which is just as seeing the double books or three pages and I can see three dots in the stereo gram provided in the prwms plc though i can't see the inbuilt text photoreading i can even see the blip page maintaining clarity to the print
and next to tangerine followed by breathing deep
to keep the state i even had one copy of photoreading activator
which i had listened more than 10 times up to now
i can see the page blurry when photoreading and


i tried the dictionary game
and photoread the book
a
with purpose to improve my vocabulary and word recognition
then tried to activate by positioning some words visualising the words in the book but it didn't came any response correctly



what do u mean by saying the first step is it the purpose u say about?
i came across the photoreading deluxe course DVD


i feel that long term practice to learn the system developed emotional stress but i supported myself by saying the phrase
"i won't develope any stress "
but i ca't get any thing even activating the dictionary

Posted By: vinay kumar Re: Photofocus state - 03/09/12 08:15 AM
Alex
i tried the dictionary game after reading the post and made 5 out of 8 words correctly using the image streaming as a tool to find the solution and it seems working
i tried in my past like this
when i got a new book to read example "six thinking hats" and "seven habits of highly effective people", "lateral thinking"and some other books
i don't know that i have learned photoreading and say to myself like this if i had learn photoreading by know i might have flipped the pages like this in fantasy and do enter photofocus in seconds and flip the pages for fun many times
but it worked but i don't know that
and continued reading the book in regular manner (no activation steps used by me)( i was in an illustration at that time that photographically remember the page)
i read the books in less than 6 hours with commitment as i was very much interested i will automatically think of the content as it very much useful even
i some times suddenly open the book to see some content which is more useful for me depending on the situation but the most amazing thing is that though i read it using regular reading technique and after some multiple passes through the book i have the information useful for me just working less than 9(6+3) hours on the book which is around more than 300 pages
i even discuss the things with my buddies as the material is useful to them with ease.
i read the PRWMS about activating the book which we proccessed
he stated
1.awareness
2. familiarity
3. knowledge
4. expertise
but
how can we improve the comprehension more easily after photoreading i have the paraliminal tape memory super charger photoreading activator and deluxe DVDs

can u conform from my experiences that i have learned the photoreading system excluding comprehension
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 03/28/12 10:09 AM
The first step of the PhotoReading system you seem to skip entirely.

Prepare, There you decide your pupose.

A purpose of improving your vocabulary is fine, provided you have a way of measuring and seeing your results. Guessing the words on a page is not the same purpose so if you start playing at guessing where the word is on the page you are incongruent with your purpose.

Quit the dictionary game, it's a "Game" and one that most get bored of playing real quick.

Prepare,
Preview,
PhotoRead
Postview

Then Activate A 200 page non-fiction book Use the 5 day test.

Make sure you know your purpose before each step of the system. You will note in the 5 day test it says "Prepare" at the beginning of each day.

To improve comprehension, you need to know your purpose, Activate by asking the author questions.

Do all the steps.

hi
I have a quick question also about being on photofocus state:

Should I focus onto the page as i see the whole page sharply (all the letters clearly), or just I should watch through the page but then all the letters are totally blury. Or third option: I watch with both of my eyes through on the page and I am having a doubled focused picture at front of me, due both of my eyes are focusing paralery onto the page.

Sorry I am not a native english speaker :P hope its understandable.

Is there any kind of edited picture (edited in photoshop to illustrate it) on the net what kind of picture I should see? I mean some example...


thanks . really.
Posted By: vinay kumar Re: Photofocus state - 04/02/12 04:43 PM
You can see two books, one book with each eye means u are doing it. The print is blurry dont worry nothing wrong with photofocus. Make the pages between the two center of creases to overlap and a round page is formed. To practise photofocus u can watch 3d stereograms by searching in google and by doing lazy 8 exersice to improve pheripheral awarness in www.braingym.com. No there isnt any images like that. Hope it will help u good luck
Posted By: vinay kumar Re: Photofocus state - 04/02/12 05:00 PM
Hi alex thank u very much i didnt try 5 day test but i started using the system for book and i can drift through the books and understand at a faster rate than before but not satisfied with the results. would like to improve my activation skills how can i do that? I am practising brain gym exersices to improve brain cordination. Thank u
Posted By: Alex K. Viefhaus Re: Photofocus state - 04/10/12 09:04 AM
If you want to improve your activation skills, do the 5 day test on many books.
