Hi Mkat,
No problem, you're questions are not disturbing.at all.
Amount of time needed to fully activate a 400-500 page book? It all depends on the level of comprehension you want. As a rule of thumb, the higher the level of comprehension, the more 30-minute Activation passes you will need to spend.
If you have a highly technical book, you might want to consider treating each chapter as a book in itself. Start with a couple 30-minute activation passes covering the gist of the whole book and a branch out for each chapter title trigger word or phrase.
Then, go back and fully activate one chapter at a time, and mind map for each chapter.
