The five questions listed in the Paraliminal Accelerator workbook to help Choose a Goal are not very clear to me. I have trouble with open-ended questions (I do better with multiple-choice; no imagination, I guess). Questions 2-4 all seem to have the same answers for me:
(2) What wil you see, hear, feel...
(3) What will be different in your life....
(4) How will you know...
When I try to answer those questions for the goal that I think I have (I'm also having trouble choosing a goal... Alex suggested using Clear Mind Bright Future, which I ordered today), I would use the same exact words to answer all 3 questions. So am I doing this wrong? missing something?

Hi SpaceAlien,
My name is Keyur, I am new to the paraliminals too, I started using them 2 weeks ago and they are phenominal.
I am a certified NLP practitioner, though, and feel that I am qualified to answer your question.
The brain loves specificity---stating that I now own the title to a bright red 1984 ferrari testarossa convertible, is better than I want a sports car.
I will see the surprised look on my friend Micheal's face when I pull up for the first time, I will hear the musical sound of the v12 engine and will feel the custom leather steering wheel and will also feel my arm muscles are tired (because the '84 testarossa doesn't have power steering).
My life will be different because I am at the car wash on a daily basis, I am getting used to people staring at me when I drive by, and also I am meeting other car enthusiasts becuase I am at the race track most weekends.
I will know that I have acheived my goal when the car is in my garage and I close the garage dooor that first night after a fun day of getting used to driving it.

you want to really use your imagination to visualize what it is like now that you have acheived your goal. Notice what you see hear and feel to get all your senses going, so your subconscious mind will get compelling details about the goal you are now attracting.
If you have a hard time imagining, try sitting in a quiet place to relax for a few minutes, and close your eyes.
Someone once told me they don't see images when they try to visualize. I asked her to close her eyes, then I asked, "What is the color of your front door?" she laughed and said she saw an image of her front door right away.
what is the sound of a piano playing classical music? what is the feeling of sand between your toes on a hot day at the beach?

-thanks for posting a great question, I hope I've been helpful.

Thanks, Keyur. I guess I just need days and days to think about my answers to these questions, and I'm not very patient.

It's similar to the few seconds that Paul gives in the paraliminal introductions to think about a goal for the session (even though he says to turn off the recording to think about it if necessary). I'd be asleep before I could adequately visualize something, many times, so I listen anyway, with a not-very-well-formed goal in mind, and then I don't get very much out of the listening session.

I think the sentences that you gave as examples about a new car could also be switched around so that the 3 goal-setting questions that I mentioned are still all pretty much answerable with the same words and phrases. There's such a very subtle difference in emphasis with each of the 3 questions.

I'll keep working on it.
