Strengthen Your Long-Term Memory

By Dr. Jay Polmar

Did you realize that everything that you read, by using SPEED READING, you unconsciously store in a part of your long-term memory. This happens because of intense concentration also called focus. Intense concentration, focus, causes the change of your states of consciousness. Focus takes you into the storage area and allows access of long-term memory just by concentrating.

Another factor is photographic or tape recorder memories where you see pictures or hear conversations. You really can remember everything you have ever seen or heard, even if you weren't focused. Your brain/mind, works like a camera, an audio recording device, and a computer, storing all memories and computer data.

When you start to learn BE DYNAMIC THROUGH SPEED READING methods and techniques, you'll notice some repetition! It is techniques repeated over and over, with visualization and various other brain/mind that will help you achieve the targets you want and be the best you possible.

All of this will make you a better student, employee, communicator, and decision maker in your life. And only one of your benefits will be that you will cut reading time on reports, memos, correspondence, newspapers, novels, non-fiction, magazine, etc. You will save time, and the saying goes ..."time is money".

Writers get paid word count in articles and by % of gross sales (royalties) in book publishing; usually the thicker the book the higher the price and the higher the royalty. Have you noticed yet that writers are unnecessarily verbose. That means that there are many words within sentences that are just there as fillers. What you learn to do in Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading, is only read the words that are essential. You will learn how to do this through this. For example, read this paragraph:

You are a slower reader because you read word-by-word and you say every word to yourself. Instead you should use your hand as a pacer.

Now search for the important words ... like those in capital letters:

If YOU are a SLOW READER it is BECAUSE YOU READ word BY WORD and you SAY EVERY WORD TO yourSELF. Instead what you need to do is USE YOUR HAND AS a PACER. T

If you look at that paragraph, you will notice the words in all caps; these are the only words you need to read to get the meaning of the paragraph; the other words are just fillers. What you need to be reading is this:

"You slow reader because you read by word say every word to self. Use your hand as pacer."

Sure it sounds like Tonto of the Lone Ranger. But, you can understand what that means and you can easily eliminate the need for all those filler words.

Dr. Jay Polmar, founder of www.speedread.org, was the instructor classes in colleges and universities for 16 years. Be Dynamic Through Speed Reading program is the his 7.5 hour course recreated so you can learn these valuable tools yourself at home or in the dorm through reading faster, listening to the audio mp3 files, and using the software, you'll be a top student who gets the most out of your reading experience.
