Practice and demand would be the short of it.
You have got this far, now just be willing and allowing by practice placing yourself to 'use the information'.
This is often where formal learning fails miserably.
No immediate demand to use the information or ideas presented. Find a way to remedy that and you will propel your mastery.
As far as reading a book without opening or reading books while sleeping (I do this and write down notes afterwards) except they always seem to be books not in my possession, would I imagine quickly get you and I into a 'religious or philosophical discussion'.
Not that I mind, but most consider 'knowing a well constructed thought-form' just by a touch to be well, 'woey, woey' as it were.
And I can not blame them as this is entirely subjective even when the proof of use is put plainly on the table.
Anything 'subjective' can admit to many a 'label'.
But I know 'all things are possible' to those who know to dare and do and the rest of the old injunction continued with this warning; 'keep silent'.
