My issue of speed imaging is now resolved! Woo!

Hey all,
I previously posted this https://www.reddit.com/r/Bengston/comments/1u8tj60/looking_for_some_clarity_on_images_v_feeling/ and then this https://www.reddit.com/r/Bengston/comments/1ueyywn/too_fast/

In summary my issue was that I was able to see the images, able to go about 1 image per second no problem but i was finding that as soon as Bill sped up past that, I lost track of the images and it was extremely frustrating.

I had assumed because of the way Bill does it that I was supposed to see the images clearly and vividly. But then I did some more research and I found this post below:

When i learned live with Bill, he had us go to rapid cycling way before we felt ready. He told us to do it anyway. We went from one image every few seconds to one image per second in a matter of minutes. And even if we couldn't keep up, we had to keep going. In fact, he said we must get to the point where we can't go any faster and let go of the images. Trade them in for speed. Know that they're in there. Put them in the blender and watch it cycle into a smoothie. You know you put in strawberries and greens, but all you see is the spinning. You have to get to the point where there are no images, and based on the training, he took us there very quickly. After cycling one image per second, we quickly transitioned to all 20+ images per second. And then doubling that, and doubling that, and doubling that. If it feels hard you're not doing it fast enough.

No talk of having to memorize the images. Some people slow down and see an image, but it's not necessary.

Be sure you have spent at least 5 minutes with each one really marinating into the feeling and details of having it, before you add it to your cycling list.

Any fast movement may work. Some shoot rockets into space in their minds. I suppose this rockets are spinning, but maybe they're not. He does suggest something that spins, but is open to people playing around with it.

You have to go faster than quickly thinking of an image and then changing to the next one.

Watch the middle of this video, when the wheel gets to it's fastest point. This is a example of what you want to see in your imagination. https://youtu.be/VNftf5qLpiA?si=nmtwBAnR5Wywtlgi

Here is a quoted excerpt:

After considerable practice, an experienced subject should be able to cycle through at least a couple of dozen images per second. Obviously, at that rate, there is no dwelling on any particular image, nor is one image considered to be more important than any other.

It is clear to me now that Bills intention was a kind of wax-on, wax-off training technique where by speeding up, you are kind of honing this visualisation engine in the mind and the whole point is to get it to the point where the images do in fact blur and you can no longer see each image clearly.

I think the reason he does not say to just jump ahead to hyper cycling, where you get that blur effect and where you can feel a process happening is that similar to physical training techniques in say sports, athletics or martial arts, unless you drill the single 'movement' when it comes time to practise the whole thing, you wont be able to do it properly because you don't have the single movements down pat and I assume it all just falls apart. Obviously when it comes to mental imaging this differs as its not physical in that sense however there is absolutely a feeling in the mind/body.
