If you watched Darren Brown's video on PhotoReading, you know 1) he is a master illusionist and 2) he has a misguided idea of what PhotoReading is. It is not at all as he described it on film.
If he did attend a PhotoReading seminar, and we do not have any record that
he did, he no doubt came in with some preconceived notion that hotoReading
will give him perfect recall of the book. (Granted, he could have signed up under a presumed name as celebrities often have, and there are knock-off courses.)
Let's get back to your experiences. Instead of saying "PhotoReading doesn't
work," talk to yourself about any indications that you have seen progress with PhotoReading.
There are several ways presented in the book such as:
* Slowly PhotoRead a book with high emotional content in a space free from distractions. Notice the thoughts and images that go through your head as you are flipping the pages. Now and then stop and see if they have anything to do with what is on the pages--flip back to where the images started coming.
* After PhotoReading a book with high emotional content, draw images and pictures that come to mind. Then go back through the book and see how they relate.
* PhotoRead a book with high emotional content before bed, and notice your
dreams. How do they relate to the book? (That's one reason we always suggest to PhotoRead positive or inspirational books before bed.) Don't try to analyze the process to death. Play with it. Be curious aboutit. Draw it out, and see how you can use the system in your life. I did that with an interesting book today. My dreams asked me some great questions. Leading to some interesting insights on awakening.
Often the more intelligent or educated a person, the more challenge they
have in embracing the system and many things outside their paradigm because they are left-braining it so much.
If you have a lot of internal resistance, I recommend Hale Dwoskin's Sedona
Method, or Byron Katie's Inquiry Process, or Arnold Patent's Feeling Exercise, or Chris Payne's CAP, or even the Belief or New Option Generator Paraliminals. If you are interested in those processes, get their books or hunt down one of their self-studies (Our Abundance For Life Course has Byron's and Arnold's process, our Euphoria has Hale's, and our Effort-free Life has Chris's, in case you have any of those.) Yeah it sounds like advertising but resistance shows up in so many areas of our lives these courses help you become open to being all you can be. (Don't aim to do them all pick one and stick with it for a while.)
You may have noticed by the reviews on Amazon that people either love PhotoReading or they hate it. I've never been able to figure that one out. But it is clear that PhotoReading provides great benefit. If you don't or can't or won't make PhotoReading work in your life, don't discourage or discount the others who find great benefit.
If you want help go to the PhotoReading forum at LearningStrategies.com and
read advice from others. There have been others with the same issue as you who have resolved them. Or...call in for coaching. Or, take a seminar to be in a group of like-minded supportive people.
