After practicing meditation for over a month now.
I've finally decided to try and read everything on the Joy of Satan and educate myself more. I've read things on the website on random occasions but not in a serious way and mostly lurked in the forum.
But it is strange. I keep reading and reading but I don't feel like I'm comprehending what I've just read.
Is it because I'm starting from 0 which makes it hard to piece information together?
I was thinking maybe my approach in reading is wrong. Maybe I'm reading more passively and not actively.
I was thinking of using a technique from a book that was recommended by Lydia.

The technique basically goes like this.
Question --> Evidence --> Conclusion
Ask the right questions on what the text is about. Add supporting details. Then conclude what the text is about.
I've tried the technique on school materials a couple of times and I think it works. Maybe I can apply it after reading a text in Joy of Satan and see if it helps with comprehension. I feel like this way I can at least avoid passively reading and engage with the material.
What about you guys? How do you normally read and absorb information?
Or do you guys maybe know a better technique or approach in reading?
