you choose at any given time depends on the level of comprehension you desire. If you want full comprehension, you will follow one process. If you want core concepts, you'll do something else. If you want specific facts, there is still another process to use.
There are primarily two ways to activate information: automatically or manually. Automatic activation is when things come to you when you are PhotoReading or after PhotoReading. It is when information just bubbles up. The challenge is that the information comes from the intuitive side of you so it feels as if you are remembering a dream, or a flash of intuition, or a piece of creativity, or a hunch, or as if you may be making it up, or as if you don't know whether it is true or false. So, the more intuitive you are, the better you are with automatic activation.
If you are not intuitive, don't worry. PhotoReading stimulates that part of the brain where your intuition hangs out so as you PhotoRead your intuition improves. Additionally, we have developed a set of manual activation techniques where you can manually take chunks of information from the right brain and put it in the left brain, where you can manually activate information from your nonconscious mind into your conscious mind...so that you can use the information.
We recognize that just as regular reading is deficient because it is primarily a left-brain process, PhotoReading is deficient because it is primarily a right-brain process. There are times when PhotoReading is not the technique of choice. It is easier, for example, to read a one-page letter than to PhotoRead it since PhotoReading works best on multiple pages. It is probably easier to speed read a letter...so we teach you a simple speed (super) reading technique.
You will have more success with our speed reading technique than you will from a traditional speed reading school because of the way we teach it. Typically, you start at 212 words per minute which is the average reading speed and go faster. You get into the higher speeds but you have the tensions and stresses, and you are primarily in the left brain.
We start you off at 25,000 words a minute, and we say slow down. Guess what? It is a lot easier to slow down than to speed up. You are in the relaxed state of alertness so when you slow down for super reading, you maintain the relaxed state. And, you will actually bridge the gap from the right brain to the left brain when you slow down. You get your whole brain working for you.
The 10% of traditional speed readers who keep using the technique do so because they've been able to bridge the gap going from the left brain to the right brain.
To give you the skills so that you can literally approach any type of material, pull from it what you need, in the time available, we teach a variety of reading skills. This gives you the flexibility you need to be a skilled reader. It also gives you the power of your whole brain working for you. You get the benefits of the logical, analytical nature of your left brain working in tandem with the intuitive, holistic, creative nature of your right brain. This is phenomenal processing power.
In essence, you are getting a whole brain reading system of which PhotoReading is a dramatic part.
Have you ever wondered how the brain works?
Information goes in. It gets processed. And, it comes out.
The quality of the output depends on the quality of the input. Garbage in. Garbage out. Just like with computers.
The quality of the input depends on your motivation, needs, expectations, and self-image. If your self-image is lousy, guess what? The input is lousy, the processing is lousy, and the output is lousy. The best way to improve your self-image as a reader is to listen to the recordings that are a part of the PhotoReading program including the Memory Supercharger Paraliminal.
Motivation. Well, it is like cleaning the garage. Have you ever cleaned a garage? Of course not. Cleaning the garage is not possible, unless, maybe, the neighbors are coming over for a party and you will be sitting around in lawn chairs. Then the garage gets cleaned. That sparkle of motivation does wonders.
Reading is the same thing: so many people look at reading as being a tedious, laborious, arduous activity. But if you put a sparkle of motivation in your reading, miracles can happen! All you have to do is take just 15-20 seconds before you read anything and ask yourself what you are going to get out of the materials. What is in this that can benefit me? What did the author intend me to get. What do I need to know so that I may perform this task. And so on. Don't wait for answers. Just ask, and that will get the circuits going. Besides, your nonconscious mind which can handle 20,000 pieces of information at a time will begin churning away to find what you need as soon as you start reading.
Expectations. Then spend 15-20 seconds and tell yourself what you are going to get from the materials. I'm going to get out of this whatever I need to perform this task. I'm going to get out of this the author's main points. I'm going to get out of this whatever I need to talk intelligently on the subject, to give a speech, to ace a test, to write a report, etc.
The power of positive expectancy. The power of affirmation. It is incredible. Take an attorney who was at lunch with an expert witness during a court recess. The witness said that what was needed to get the case thrown out of court was in a book, but it would take hours to find it. The attorney took the book, entered his accelerated learning state, affirmed his intent, did a couple other things, and PhotoRead the book. Then he immediately turned to a page, pointed, and said, "What we need is right here." And sure enough, that very passage was what they needed.
A heating and air-conditioning specialist was called to a new office tower in downtown Minneapolis. The system was down. He had never worked on that system before but he knew that two blinking lights had something to do with the reason. He went down to his truck to get the operating manual, entered his accelerated learning state, affirmed his intent, did a couple other things, and PhotoRead the manual. He was paged, went to the phone, and asked the person whether he knew anything about that system. As those words were coming from his mouth, he opened the manual, and his eyes automatically focused on the words describing the blinking lights. The paragraphs beneath told him exactly what to do to correct the problem.
An auto mechanic was back at the garage. The workers couldn't find information on a particular part. He said, "Wait a minute. I've paid for
