Gimmy, On of the biggest bottlenecks to reading is the fact that the sub-consious mind interprets the visual data, then by reading the material "aloud" in your mind, you force your consious mind to take over. So you are limited by the speed of your consious mind. This is why some "speedreading" cources teach you to not say the words in your mind, that alone speeds up your reading. But by photoreading you skip the consious mind all together. The sub-consious mind interprets the visual data, orginizes it, then sends what is needed back to the consious mind. Almost everybody has experianced the following, if you have ever heard something say a week ago, then you are talking to someone and they say something, maybe tring to figure out a problem, and you remember what was said a week ago, combine it with the current problem, and solve it. Then you have used your sub-consious mind to do the exact same thing that photoreading does, taking information in your mind and making connection between that information. There is nothing cryptic about what goes on in the sub-consious mind, it is just not as understud as most people would like. Hope this clears some of the confusion. Daniel
