Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Contempt Prior to Investigation

When I first got the PR course about 2 yrs back, I was so excited about first learning it and then sharing it with my sons who were then still in college. One in law school. Well ... to make a long story short, they didn't want anything to do with it. The one in law school said that he had enough to read without reading all that too. And the others basically said that they didn't need any help. Go figure ~

So, he complained about all the reading, and I set about learning PR - also reading everything here at the forum that I could. I practiced. I was getting the hang of it pretty well. But eventually all the skepticism, also from husband, got to me and I put it away around 5 months later. But the seeds were planted, and it incubated, and I still read here at the message board and practiced some, and now I am a student again myself and giving it (PR) a full shot. And yes, I am astounded by the results - plus I am using the tapes more this time. My memory has shown a marked (and I do mean observable) increase. I aced (100%) a recent memory-only test in crminal justice interviewing (no essay). Yet my family isn't impressed. Well, what can I say; we can pick our friends but we can't pick our relatives. So to speak.

Anyway, I was thinking when I was over at the library this week how interesting it would be to set up PRing at one of the tables there. A stack of books that I need/want to read and go through them!! Then, like what was said above, if anyone is interested I can tell them about this neat course they can get, and if they scoff (sp? - why isn't there a spell check here...) then I will take that as proof that I am ahead of the pack! Plus I can get over my shyness at expossing this new skill I am evermore aquiring. Why keep it in the dark?

I shall now go to my alpha level and program that in.

Note: It is a bit disheartening to know that something is good (PR) and not be able to convince those that .... what can I say - do not want to be convinced. *sigh*

I have photoread in the aisles of the local library, upside down and backwards mind maps and markers on the floor. No comments from anyone

I haven't really discussed photoreading in fact I avoid the subject with my family. I've been caught out though.

One evening my I was looking after my brothers kids, he caught me with the kid's encylopaedia brittanica. He asked me about photoreading and I used the books to explain the technique. He was surprised when I gave him a summary of every article in the book. He knew I could not have spent more than 15 minutes with the books cause his kids were still awake when he walked in.

On then with my mother, I photoread a book and she said. Now I have to read it to test you to see what you know about it. I could only grin cause wasn't the type of book she would understand. Recently she was showing me a book and I was photoflipping through the pages and I said wow now is an interesting book to read. single woman with a son and 2 suitors, set in the 1800s... she quickly took the book off me and said, 'how can you tell?' I said, 'I'm previewing the pages.' Now that's a book I'd like to activate. Though I don't think mum would lend it to me knowing what I did with the book that I read on the plane in an hour during my flight kangaroo flight to Minnesota from Australia. I threw it in the bin and bought another at Auckland airport.

They know it works but don't think it's something that will work for them. Even if I can teach them. So I save myself the trouble. If they really want to know they will come to me. Oh it looks like my brother is more likely to have people coming to me to learn it than learn it himself.
