thinking about what we did before and what we will do later, and we're trying to memorize everything as we go. Before we know it, we've used up the seven pieces of information and something has got to go. It is usually what we just read.
The nonconscious mind can handle 20,000 pieces of information. Twenty thousand. You can imagine seven pieces, like a telephone number, but can you imagine 20,000? No way. It is physiologically impossible. The little voice in the back of your head, which is the conscious mind, can only understand seven pieces of information.
You know what this is? Blasphemy. It flies in the face of traditional education, of everything we were brought up believing. PhotoReading breaks all the rules.
Who does the best with PhotoReading? People who love to break rules. Who has the most difficult time? Police officers. All day long they are out there telling people to follow the rules, and then they come into the class and we say, "There are no rules! If you don't like it change it so that you are comfortable with the process."
If you are not willing to suspend your beliefs, to break the rules, then by all means stay away. Save yourself disappointment. But if you are willing to break rules, to approach PhotoReading with a childlike curiosity, a go with the flow attitude, in a discovery, playful mode, then by all means take the PhotoReading class now, and you will have a blast.
PhotoReading is grounded in leading-edge technologies
Three powerful technologies of human development make the PhotoReading course work.
The first is superlearning; it is also called accelerated learning, integrative learning, or suggestology. It was developed by Dr. Georgi Lozanov in Bulgaria in the '60s and '70s primarily for the rapid acquisition of language. Peter Kline, one of the nation's top accelerative learning experts, hooked up with us in 1985 to integrate accelerative learning into the PhotoReading program. This is of value to you for two reasons: the first is that we can teach the PhotoReading system to you in an incredibly short period of time—just two to three days; and the second is so that when you get out in real life and use the system, you'll be able to process information at an accelerated rate.
The second technology of human development is neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP. This was developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. Among other things, NLP says that if one person performs a particular task he or she must click a certain set of circuits in a particular order. If another person is to perform basically the same task, this person must also click those same circuits in that same particular order. With NLP you can figure out how one person is clicking and teach another to click the same way.
That is what Paul Scheele did with PhotoReading. He trained with Bandler and Grinder in the late '70s and early '80s, and he used his expertise in NLP to figure out how natural PhotoReaders were clicking their circuits. He then developed a program to teach everyone to click the same way, so that everyone gets the same results, so that everyone can PhotoRead.
The third technology is with preconscious processing. This is about learning below the threshold of conscious awareness. Subconsciously. Learning with the unconscious mind, the inner mind. And that is what PhotoReading is all about because we bypass the conscious mind and dump the information directly into the nonconscious.
PhotoReading leaves speed reading in the dust
About the only similarity between speed reading and PhotoReading is the word "reading."
Speed reading is basically regular reading hastened up. Instead of going for words you are going for phrases, complete lines or paragraphs. It's still primarily a conscious-mind, left-brain function.
PhotoReading, on the other hand, is a nonconscious, right-brain process. You learn how not to rely on the words that are on the page, but on what goes on in your head. It's not about moving your eyeballs really fast; it's about using your brain more efficiently.
Speed reading is about getting comprehension of the words on the page while PhotoReading is about getting comprehension of the meaning of the page.
Speed reading may get you up to 5,000 words a minute, though 1,200 words a minute is more the case. With PhotoReading you start at 25,000 words a minute, and where you go from there is anyone's guess.
With speed reading, 90 percent of people quit using the techniques within a few months. This has to do with the way it is taught. You are taught to go faster and faster, and the faster you go the more doubts will start to creep in as to whether or not you are getting anything. And with these doubts come tensions and stresses, and who wants that?
With PhotoReading there is no stress; it is a calming, relaxing process. This is the case for two reasons. The first has to do with super learning, accelerated learning. It suggests that if you enter a relaxed state of alertness where you slow down the little voice in the back of your head and relax the body, you will be in an accelerated learning state in which you can learn and process information more optimally. Guess what? When you are in this relaxed state, you cannot be stressed. The other reason there is no stress has to do with the fact that you are not worried about whether you are getting anything consciously while PhotoReading because we tell you up front that you won't.
With PhotoReading you will be relaxed and comfortable.
PhotoReading gives you more than one way to read
When you PhotoRead, the information is blasted into the right brain. Because it is in the right brain, you cannot perform left-brain functions on it. You cannot think about it, you cannot chew the fat about it, unless somehow you can bridge the gap from the right brain to the left brain, unless somehow you can activate the information from the nonconscious storage bins into the conscious mind.
There are a half dozen ways to activate information. The technique
