Hey moparman,
You might want to try one thing I accidentally did. I had just finished the Silva Mind Control book, and was going to walk to the library to return two other books, and do the activation there. When I got outside, the beautiful but windy weather had turned into a temperature just below freezing, and a wind chill of about 9. I drove to the library, and forgetting my plans to activate the book (as I was incubating and not conscioussly bothering myself with its presence), I dropped it in the book return and drove home. When I got home and realized what I had done, rather than try to get it back from the library, I got out my markers and gel-pens and started to mind-map the book, based on what I had learned in my preview and postview, and what I already knew about the brain and how it worked. While it's probably not as complete a Map as it could be if I had actually superread and dipped more, it gave a good summery of the book's information. I know that if I want to, I can always pick up the book again and rapidread, or do more superreading and dipping.
Maybe my other-than-conscious mind was trying to say, "Hey, I think I can handle it from here; consider yourself as having direct-learned your first real book."
