Paul,
I have used the PG tape in both a general way applying it to my life in general and also for specific situations.
I found that when used in a general way I seem to have much clearer and faster insight into ways of solving daily difficulties.
In focusing on a specific goal, I found that after about a week of daily use I have made some breakthroughs toward a goal that I have been working towards for 7 years now. The experience is almost like an "aha" moment when the blinders are lifted off. I am not where I want to be yet with my goal but I am well on my way and will be using direct learning and other paraliminal tapes to help me get to where I want to be.
