I cheated.

I read his book while standing in the store.
I'm so slow. it took me hours, and a few trips, in between looking at and buying other stuff.

My speed reading friend who can slurp up a whole book in near minutes ....makes me feel slow.

Poor Carmody. I so know that feeling.
Speedreading is my secret 2013 wish, what with this thread never letting up.

Which is why I like to communicate with images, more and more.
Like any comments about the PTB....
just photoshop the point one wants to make:

Speedreading is easy guys, there is really not much excuses not to do it.

Average reader speed in between 200-250 words per minute, speed readers easily reach 800 to 1000 words per minute. Once you know the technic, the rest is just practice, practice, practice.

I was working sometimes with a big training firm and was meeting the president. They had advertised a speedreading course to test the waters, and the course filled itself. However, the date of the course was fast approaching and they had nobody to teach, nor was the course written. So the president turn towards me and ask me if I could write a speedreading course. I told them I knew nothing of speedreading. They told me they were caught, what they had done, and asked me to check if I could. I told them I would answer them by Monday.

So I had the week end at the national library, skimming books from the 30's up to 2005, on speedreading. Looked at the basic framework over time and the different technics and came back on Monday with a potential table of content and a decision on the best method. They gave me the contract. So I wrote the course, but still could not speedread.

On the first day of teaching, the participants asked me how fast I could read. I lied and said 800 words per minute. I was feeling quite shaky. I was pushing them to read faster and faster, gave methods for skimming the architecture of their reading and pushed again and again. One of the trick is to let go of verbal auditory reading, learned in primary school and accept to do visual only reading. The brain has to be retrained for interpreting correctly.

On the second day, people were starting to understand what their eyes saw. At the end of the second day, people were reading anywhere between 500 to 800 words per minute. The mark of 400 is important, below this you fall back on auditory/verbal reading.

At the end of the course I was myself amazed and told myself "My Gosh, but it works"! And then I thought "Oh my Gosh, I do have to follow my own courses". Which I did. I went up to about 1000 words per minute. If I do not practice the technic regularly, I fall back to about 400 words per minute. Sometimes when in a rush, I speedread the threads lol.

So, take a book and practice the technics.

Oh, I just remembered- if I started speed-reading in serious
I'd no longer have an excuse to ignore the posts of justoneman and 9eagle.
Maybe I'm better off staying the way I am.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Synchronicity!!Number plate!!! 216A >>> 216x2=432 >>> A=432Hz back to music!

On another note Ulli, so Astrologers have always defied the speed of light, I'd never thought about it that way, very interesting....

Number plates know best. You have good eyes!

Sorry to say, but most astrologers have never heard of the speed of light...

I didn't realize how many pages I was behind, and so I'm probably not making much sense.

Does playing 'catch up' mean I'm not in the here and now?

This thread has gone through a few mutations since it's inception, and it might look to many like a there and then scene.
You're ok playing catch up, as long as you do it in your own here and now
and aware enough of seeing connections ...the way you did with that number plate.

As long as just one Villager remembers to be in the Here and Now every five hours
we are all ahead of the curve.

Hello Nora

[Ol' Roy]

I killed my dog, almost!

Making excuses for not taking him out on his evening walks(as the sun goes down)!

As I approach 62, it is essay to make more excuses.


Let it be said, he keeps me young. As Ulli said Here and Now! Today was a beautiful day here in Kentucky, USA. Tempuretures about 35 degrees in winter.

We are blessed to live on a golf course. No, we are not rich! My wife and I live on disability. But it is a beautiful setting, one mile from town.

Any way, I let the dog(Copper) go for a cuople of weeks without his walk. He came to me every day wanting his walk. What I am saying is, I don't want to kill the sprit of my dog. He lifts me up, in all my trials and efforts.

A lot of famous visitors to Barbados came after me because I was the only astrologer they could find there.
Doesn't mean that I was good, but at least I got experience. this is all really a long time ago now, but I recall Rosie was particularly interested in me because my birthday was one day before Fagan's, and she wanted to know what made him tick, so she could figure out a strategy.

Now that's a set up for failure, IMO....

(personal experience here, Russian*-polish jew bits of genetics, who is a Virgo, chasing a particular woman.) (the tie in, she is/was a Capricorn) (which due to human psychology, of this one not being awarded the job of heating up the bedroom with her, causes this one to try and use the past tense in her indicated existence) (I mean, it's all over now, man. not a chance. bummer )

*From the film 'The Hunt for Red October'. A very nice and direct explanation:

Hi Ulli,

The moon and Venus


Another strong powerful night in the forest. Very revealing, I'm surrounded again.
Beautiful clear cold winter sky. The stars are bright and the Milky Way path is clearly defined. The stars look so close that it feels like they are falling all at once.


Love


Nora

Do like me, Calz. Pretend.

Major fault of mine ... that being honesty.

Has not worked out well in my lifetime ... but I *really* believe that thangs are a changin'

I thought it was liars who kept saying 'I don't recall', 'I've forgotten', 'I can't remember'

Is this Moon-Venus conjunction/ eclipse today? I haven't checked yet. Wow picture...how come Venus looks bigger than the Moon?

Edit: the moon today is in Sagittarius, and Venus has just entered Capricorn. The moon will be conjunct Venus tomorrow.
But Mercury is now at 13'55 Cap, forming a trine angle with my natal moon...
Angles like that happening on one's solar return mean that the whole year ahead will be a happy one.

Simultaneity is as complicated as time. The solar alignment at dawn is spread over space and time, first gravitationally (the sun is geographically above the horizon), and only later visually. Eight minutes of time corresponding to however many arc-minutes of angle. And of course at dusk, what you see going down has already disappeared.


Reading literally in the here and now Merleau-Ponty (on painting): ‘We must take literally what vision teaches us: namely that through it we touch the sun and the stars, that we are everywhere at once, and that even our power to imagine ourselves elsewhere–“I am in Petersburg in my bed, in Paris, my eyes see the sun”–or freely to envision real beings, wherever they are, borrows from vision and employs means we owe to it. Vision alone teaches us that beings that are different, “exterior”, foreign to one another, are yet absolutely together, are “simultaneity”; which is a mystery psychologists handle the way a child handles explosives.’
