dijinan1......I'm just going to say it. Your posts here do not strike me as being grounded in wanting to serve, but rather to promote an agenda that is based on some measure of personal bitterness. To say photoreading didn't work for you is one thing, but to say life got worse from photoreading?
Your posts just scream "victim". This forum is not the place for you to vent your own personal failures and frustrations, in my opinion.
Want to meet someone who has gotten more from Photoreading than they got before? I'm one of 'em. And I periodically stay in touch with several people from the group I went to the seminar with and I'm not alone. I don't process information at 25,000 words per minute, and I haven't had any magical moments from the photoreading step itself, but that is just one step of a larger process. I can say this without hesitation: when I diligently apply these principles, I can get the information I desire from a book in about a third to half the time it would normally take me, and I get more information from it and have more access to that information.
That's not opinion, that's fact that I've verified over and over and over again. I'm a fan of the process because it works and I'm going to the seminar next month for a refresher course.
Do it, don't do it, I doubt most people in here particularly care. But using this forum as your personal venting ground is not appropriate. It's like you have some vendetta or something. Write 'em a letter, leave this place be, and move on with your life, man.
I truly wish you well and I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for.
