I assume the photoreading step has to be done in a quiet place while preferably alone. But what about activation, is it a must to enter a relaxed state of alertness. I sometimes like and enjoy reading while others are present or from time to time I’ll also try to acknowledge what’s being present on TV,- and I find it rather boring sitting alone in a room totally isolated from others with no distraction doing super reading and mind mapping. Of course I understand that the results will be less extraordinary and it wouldn’t maybe be wise to use a “noisy” environment when dealing with important material, like schoolwork etc. But sometimes it’s just comfortable to just read all the sentences and word on subjects I’ll find very interesting and enjoyable in a none preferable atmosphere.. Activation under noisy surroundings has to do some good, but to what degree??
