Thanks for that. I won't take that recommendation now. I'm altogether disinterested in that sort of low attitude.

I don't think about it the same way as >>9841341.

In fact, I don't think about it.

I started by speed reading single lines - running my eyes over the lines at a predetermined, steady pace. Simultaneously, I would do focus exercises, wherein an object of focus is chosen, stared at for approximately 15 or 30 seconds and then the eyes are closed and the object is viewed in as much detail as possible within the mind's eye. At the moment the vision begins to fade, the object is momentarily glanced at before quickly closing one's eyes and meditating upon the object once more. This is done for about five minutes at a time, daily.

After a while, I just started to be able to read paragraphs at a time - taking the entire paragraph in at once as an image, and entire pages would be read in about three seconds this way.

I cannot access this ability perfunctorily. I have to have been reading for a while already, and then I begin to be able to do it.

However, I have realized, once accessed, this ability can be sustained for any length of time, so long as I do not subvocalize, or shift my attention from the work.
