I am running behind on my goal to finish 30 books in 30 days. Lucky for me, today begins a long four-day holiday! I am not travelling either.
I should be on book #14. Yesterday I finished #6, “The Long Tail” by Chris Anderson. Today I finished #7, and it was a short one, Eugene Sandow’s “Health and How to Get It.”
I have six books on my bookcase that I have still not read. I figure to be done with these by Saturday. If I pick up a few more at the used book store over the weekend, I will be back on track.

Thank you for the running reports on photoreading, I have been toiling with the “to buy or not to buy” decision, and until now have been unable to find real reviews of the product anywhere but here. I have subscribed to your blog and look forward to hearing more about your experience.
Cheers!
I bought the photoreading course a few years back and am decent up to the photoreading step. I’ve never really mastered activation, because I somehow got spoiled on letting stuff come to me when I need it.
I’m working on using Lucid Dreaming to enhance my Photoreading activation. Imagine photoreading something, then living out the book in a Lucid Dream.
Hi Bill, how long have you been practicing the techniqe? For me, I am finding the exact opposite. I do the photoreading, but really find that the activitation seems to tell me everything. I don’t tend to get much “spontaneously” from the book as a result of actually photoreading…the skimming/skittering seems to do it all.
Did it take you some time for the stuff to just come to you when you needed it?
Wow, this is quickly becoming the perfect forum. In my younger and more vulnerable years, I lived in Guatemala, as a gringo expatriate. I spent a lot of time on Lake Atitlan, where there was a retreat that taught lucid dreaming, sensory deprivation, and many other meditative subjects. Unfortunately, as a young stupid boy, I couldn’t get past the “you have to stop smoking pot for a month” pre-requisite…Now, as a father and entrepreneur, I realize the amazing opportunity I passed up for some cheap, dry weed. Lucid dreaming is still a skill that escapes me most of the time, to combine it with photo reading would be quite simply perfect…thanks for the great conversation!
Hi Bill, agree with Charles that the Lucid Dreaming is a fasciating way to have a “conversation” with the author! Could you expand a little on the technique you use to do this? Is there a post on your blog about it?
