Just as we can understand that it’s possible to identify Family history through DNA It’s not something that you can actually do for you until you actually learned to do it. So on one hand we have knowledge and on the other, we have knowledge with the ability to apply that knowledge.
To learn a new skill someone first had to figure out what they did and how they did it and then develop a way of instruction to show others how they can do it too. This is only part of the learning equation. There is still the part that relies on the learners ability to apply to the training.
The courses often have specific material used to demonstrate the method that ultimately, one must apply the method to learn through practice how it is done. The material selected is usually what has proven to be the most useful for the majority of learners. Some will require more and
others less.
There is one part of learning that is still being researched because all learning has a subjective element that cannot be explained or shown. No one can explain the shifts and levers that must be pulled in our brain before we “get it”. Those moments where we say ‘oh, now I get it’, are purely subjective. It’s an essence that no one else can touch or see.
Think about it. When you learned how to tie your shoelaces. You weren’t taught what to think, you are shown a sequence of tying shoelaces there are many parts that no one could explain, like how tight to tie them or how hard to pull. You only learned this through doing, and it’s still subjective because you too can only teach the sequence not the part that comes with experience. No one could tell you when you got it and at some point you did get it. Your shoelaces stayed tied. If you learned to ride a bike you might want to ponder, how do you keep your balance, how can you explain it? You just do it, don’t you? That’s because part of the knowledge is only learned through experience, and it is subjective.
One challenge to face is findings the subjective point where you can say, ‘I have learned this. I have accomplished my goal’. We never really do, we just know that we know.
Learning is not just memorising information. When you learn something, rather than just memorising it you develop a new skill. Riding a bike, learning to walk, trying laces, buttering bread, building computers and fixing cars. Training can be given, grades and tests set to measure your memory of these steps. However, only the learner knows when they have learned something so that it is a skill, something they can do, rather than a memory back and talk about. It’s something the own.
Ultimately, the subjective experience can only be achieved through doing. The theory of riding a bike can be explained. And skill can only be acquired through doing, so that the individual gains that subjective experience.
That is why if someone asked me to prove that PhotoReading works, I have to say, “Try it and see”. No-one can give you that subjective experience. It is earned through doing. Just like you learned to read and write in the first place. When you learned to read you repeated the action until you understood what you were reading. It was through your subjective training that reading became possible. Now, if you choose to learn PhotoReading you need to allow yourself to have that experience again. Learning by doing. Analysing the system can only take you so far.
The PhotoReading Course is designed to take you through the course in a step-by-step way. Ultimately, it will become a natural ability like tying shoe laces. It becomes something you know how to do, because you acquire the subjective knowledge through doing and gained a unexplainable understanding of what it is to be PhotoReader. You know it works because, implicitly, subjectively, you know how to what to do. This is true for anything that you have ever learned.

Have you ever had to do something but were not in the mood for it? You’re probably looking for a technique that will help you to become alert and in the flow instantly.
Even if you are in the mood for something it is useful to be able to switch yourself on when you are learning something new. Apprehension about your performance can lead to frustration. That makes learning difficult and something you want to avoid. Especially when the student no longer likes the subject. To avoid frustration we need to be alert and relaxed a place where you are calm and present to the learning task. Or we need to be able to return to that open-minded state where can continue to learn.
There are techniques and as you practice them and start using them regularly they become quick and easy to do. There will be times when you need to spend a little longer at getting there. Normally it only takes 3 to 5 minutes even for a beginner and is useful to practise occasionally to help keep the trigger strong.
It helps to practise a short relaxation exercise. You can use techniques you may already be familiar with from audio recordings. The good ones will have helped you to create anchors for each stage of relaxation. Anchors like 3 Physical Relaxation, 2 Mental Relaxation, 1 the target state. The target state has a few names, Accelerated Learning State, Level, ideal state for learning, ideal state of relaxation. The prominent feature of this state is that you are producing more Alpha. It readies your mind and body for instructions and whatever the purpose was for clearing your mind. So the name given to the state often reflects the purpose the instructor had for it. I call it the Accelerated Learning State (ALS)
I like the term Accelerated Learning State or ALS because it most accurately describes the what we can use this state for. To speed up our learning passage. We can to learn; to heal, change a habit, know our spiritual selves, learn information (ESP, Remote Viewing senses) a subject for school. Accessing this state speeds up our progress.
Finding that ideal state for learning, a technique
Create a trigger by using the same symbols each time you use your technique. The symbol can be a number, an animal, a word or phrase. When you think your symbols one after the other they will trigger the memory of your experiences. This makes it easier and faster to enter the target state each time you use it.
Close your eyes. Take a moment to take a deep breath, breath out slowly. Think relax the body Think of the number 3.You can do a head to toe scan to relax your body. Noticing any places with tension and allowing that tension to release. If you have trouble releasing tension make a fist while focusing on the tense area and think of it relaxing and relax your fist at the same time. The physical action will show your body want to do.
Take another deep breath. Breathe out slowly. Think of the number 2 or a symbol. Mentally relax. You do that by letting go of thoughts about the past or the future, You can also think of relaxing scenes for you. When distracting thoughts enter you just put them aside for later and bring your awareness back to the present. Back to what you are doing now.
Take another deep breath breathe out slowly. Think the number 1 or a symbol that for you says you’re there. It might be an image of a plant or flower, something that represents peace. You might hear some words or a phrase that signals you’re there. You might even hear the binge of an elevator door opening (indicator you’ve reached your destination). It might be a physical sensation. In this case create an easy one like a twitch of the finger or toe and use it deliberately. Twitch your finger or toe on purpose when you want to enter the target state.
What to do when you get there.
When you read the Accelerated Learning State you need to set your intent into action. This is were you give yourself affirmations. Not the kind that you parrot over and over to try and change your reality. (‘I am slim and healthy‘ when you are overweight or ‘I like to exercise, when you don’t). No, the affirmations you make here are statements of fact. You’re telling yourself what you want to get out of being in this state.’ When I open my eyes I will… ‘ I am going to notice… I am looking for… I will be alert.. my concentration is…
These affirmations are statements of your intent. They help you focus on your purpose. What you want to do next. Why and how you are going to do it. They clarify your thoughts, You moved your mind to the present moment away from the scattered thoughts and confusion.
Places where you can use Accelerated Learning State
Beginning of class. Affirm (tell yourself) how you want to participate in the class. Understanding the instructor? Asking questions? Wide awake and alert? Focused with sharp concentration?
Before exams
Relaxed & calm? Answers come to you easily? Focused? Understand the questions easily? Answers flow? Finish it with time to spare? Correctly answer the questions for your best passing grade?
For reading
To get the information swiftly? Focused concentration?
Remote Viewing ESP
To access the information important to you? Decide what to do in the future?
Healing
To shrink a foreign growth? To empower the body to fight an illness? To calm the nerves?
Sport
To make the right moves? To play tension free. the easy shots go in without fault? See the best openings?
Job application and interview, training, presentations. sales. writing. programming, meetings.
the Accelerated Learning State is even the best state to be in for prayer.
So if you are already familiar with a method use it. Once you’ve used it 2 or 3 times a day for about 21 days you’ll notice it had already become faster. Three deep breaths and you’re there because just thinking about getting into the Accelerated Learning State will trigger it.
