I noticed that Dana, you were mentioned on page 4 or the introduction, but I get images like that all the time, I dont image stream on a regualar basis or anything like that. Would this really be worth it if I have already gotten Dr. Wengers courses already?
How quickly can the methods be implemented? Does the course take a lot of exploring before the methods can be used for practical purposes?
That's it for now. Thanks
Paul has worked hard to make sure the course was immediately practical for people. That said, more benefits will come with use.
I would truly like to believe that the Learning Strategies is on to something special. But I haven't seen any improvement in my photoreading skills since I bought the personal course 9 months ago. Until I see some results, I am not buying any more products from LS.
About your PhotoReading skills: I'll be happy to help you. First, tell me how many books you PhotoRead in the past 9 months, and how many of those books you fully activated. Then estimate how many minutes you would spend on a book in activation.
I await your response.
Anyways, i was talking about the marketing aspects. I dont have any doubt that that photo reading is a great system and helps many. So far, it is helping me in various aspects of my life, but i cant critique it well without proper commitment. It does give me confidence and relaxation. I just agreed a little with designer about the marketing involved with it.
I dont understand why some people get upset when some ask a question about finishing their degree faster or similar questions. With the advertising claims, what do u expect?? like for instance, obtain info as "easy as drinking water".
Photo Reading has helped so many people improve thier lives, its just that the ads that appear to good to be true. U do have to be relaxed for it to work which makes it easy, but i guess people give up when they learn they have to activate, rapidread,etc, because the ads don't mention this. That's probably why peeps get frustrated.

In addition, i just wanted to say that the G Code looks awesome. Hopefully, people wont give up on this before they have tried it properly. Could it be applied to singing?- for my boyfriends sake, anways.

Pal, I would HIGHLY recommend you take up Dana's offer.
Now as far as my photoreading progress goes, I went twice through the exercises on the casettes up to photoreading and activating Natural Brilliance book. I also tried photoreading dictionary several times (each time listening to the instructions on the first casette). None of this produced a visible result - improved my comprehension of the material. I've also photoread and activated about ten books. I used dipping and skittering techniques for about 15 minutes each time to help me to get to the answers I was looking for. And every time I felt that I needed to re-read everything in order to find the answers.
Spend 1/3 the time activating the book that you would spend reading it.
Then report your results.
You are not being fair to yourself or the system.

I've spent up to 3 hours on activation. Try doing 2-4 30 minute activation sections, building information in layers from whole-to-parts. Then, if you feel you need more, but are lost on what you might have missed, RapidRead the entire book.

I brought your question to Paul Scheele. Here is his response:
"I suppose both "borrowed genius" and "advanced civilization toolbuilder" techniques in the Genius Code would have direct impact on singing. Certainly the "Genius Activator" paraliminal would help as well."
An important piece of it that seems new is the process of learning to decipher all that image streaming content you get. That should add very real value to the image streaming process.
Dana, will it have its own forum or will it fall under the paraliminal section?

Dana,
Am I unclear on what you are saying?? If you assume that the avg person reads at 200 wpm. Than if you spend 1/3 the time on activation that you would spend reading the book "normally" you would be reading at 600 wpm.
You can expect those results initially. Over time, the more experience you have using the system, the faster you will become.
When I took one of the seminars, there was a boy of the age 12 or so in the class. He was initially tested at about 150wpm. By the end of the seminar, he was at 1000wpm. Most everybody else, enjoyed a 3x increase. There were experienced photoreaders whose speed was significantly higher.
LSC is playing it conservative. While LSC says you can photoread some 20,000+ wpm, Win Wenger, who wrote The Einstien Factor, says that number is paltry- one can photoread over 60,000 with above average comprehension. However, initially, your speed, per LSC, will be about 3x faster. And that is reasonable.
Look at it this way, before one is able to reach the peak of Mt. Everest, they must get to the base camps via other mountains. No self-respecting adventurer would settle for one of these smaller peaks when their goal is to climb Mt. Everest. Once they get to the base camps, it is not an immediate climb to the peak. It takes months for the human body to get acclimated to the increased elevation. Photoreading is the same. Give your body time to adjust to the assimilation of all this material. Get over, the smaller peaks first, such as getting better and better with each step of the process. Each step is important. Learn what works for you and what doesn't. Then you will find steady increases in your speed. Be glad you found the right "mountain".
I wish you all the best with the system,
BReeves
If it would take you 10 hours to fully comprehend a book with regular reading, you'll comprehend it better, understand it more deeply, and retain it longer, spending about 3 hours with the PhotoReading process.
And as time goes on, you become more and more proficient.

You said that PRers can get up to 60,000wpm. Does this factor in the time it takes to activate the material? Or would this be spontaneous activation?
I know this would be true for spontaneous activation. However, I heard the 60k figure directly from Paul Scheele in one of his seminars last year. Maybe LSC could help out here. I guess the point here is that pr as we know it is not the end of the speed journey- I feel it is only the beginning. For right now, I'm content with pr.
However, let's qualify "activation". Not all the material that you activate will require you to super read & dip, rr, and mind map. You may choose just to super read and that will give you the comprehension you desire. Other times, you may mindmap- end of story. Pr speed should be considered in context. For example, you may drive 45mph on a country road at 6am and it is safe. However, drive on that same road at 7am in a school zone and 45mph is not safe- being ready for quick reaction neccesitates a slower speed. Let's take your literature you need to read for college. And let's say he wants you to read "Romeo & Juliet". Depending on what your professor wants you to get out of it (read detail), you may choose to activate using 2 or 3 methods thus "slowing" you down- still fast but slower. On the other hand, if you were to read Romeo & Juliet for the purpose of impressing your girlfriend, then pr and super read....(..or just read Cliff Notes) may suffice for your purpose; thus your "reading" will be at a higher wpm. (Of course, there maybe an exception to this. You may wish to find the topic "Planning for spontaneous activation" written by CommenSense- excellent reading! I have not tried yet- but I will.)
After much trial and error...(sorry, "undesired results"), the first question I no longer ask is, "How fast can I get through this material?" It is now, "How much detail do I need to comprehend?" I will then adjust my speed accordingly.
Hope this helps comrade,
BReeves
