You failure has nothing to do with the blip. You're impatient. Make haste slowly. Give yourself room to play.

Your struggle with looking for the blip page make me suspect that you're not even hitting the ideal state.

Soft focus and flip the pages for 12 pages and the brainwaves will show you are in the PhotoReading pattern. However Your anxiety to "see the blip, to get it right" is pulling you right out of the experience.

If you're not willing to take my advise and quit worrying about the blip page and work on the other steps you will continue to struggle. It doesn't have to be a struggle.

No Blip no problem.
