question.  Your life is the living of that question, the search for its answer and personal significance.  Arriving at that ultimate question involves asking and answering numerous preliminary questions.  Slowly, you begin to realize all the questions' interrelatedness, until at last you distill them down to one.  You do this not by gaining information from empirical sources but by questioning yourself and unearthing knowledge you didn't know you possessed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis answering of a question with a question that reveals a still greater truth is a fundamental part of many religious traditions, including Hebraic, Jesuitical, and Zen.  It's in reaching the profound, seminal questions that the meaning is discovered and the questioning taken to the next level of understanding.  The questions lead us to places unfamiliar and then make these places known to us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn insightful psychotherapist once said to me, \"You want answers to questions that only you could think to ask.\"  At the time I thought he was validating my intellectual superiority.  But I've come to realize that certain questions are so intricately tied to our individuality that the answers can come only from within ourselves.  Often this is the last place we look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe function of intuition is to lead us to these answers.  The function of the mind and the heart is to formulate the questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will help you answer your questions by asking them back at you.  Indeed, only you can answer the ultimate questions of your life.  It always amazes me that we expect disciplines like philosophy and religion and intuition to answer questions such as What is the meaning of life?  Yet we don't think that the individual \"I\" who generates these philosophies can answer something simple like Will the price of gold rise in February? or Where the heck did I leave my car keys? or, more seriously, How can I make my relationship more successful?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's the little questions that make up life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGetting In Touch With Your Priorities\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe following is a simple questionnaire that will help you pinpoint the information you need to best use the next chapter.  This is also your first exercise in opening the door to intuition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExercise 1\u003cbr\u003eGetting In Touch With Yourself\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecord your first response to each of the following questions, even if it doesn't seem to make sense.  Be honest.  Don't try to be clever or to respond in a way you think will impress me or others.  Be brief; sometimes a word will suffice.  You will have the opportunity to give more reflective answers shortly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this exercise calls for short responses, you may want to have a friend read off the questions and transcribe your answers.  If not, use your tape recorder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember, I want your immediate responses.  OK?  Here goes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what do you want?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what do you need?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what is your greatest fear?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what is your dearest wish?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what do you need to be happy?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what is your ambition?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what is your greatest talent?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, what is your most formidable

missing in your life?\u003cbr\u003e In this moment, in which area of your life would you most like to see change in the coming year?\u003cbr\u003e What is your

each question before responding.  Your answers this time will be longer than those in Part I, but you should still try to be concise.  If you get stuck, look back to your initial responses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere goes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Upon reflection, what do you want?\u003cbr\u003e Upon reflection, what do you need?\u003cbr\u003e Upon reflection, what is

you used a tape recorder, transcribe your precise words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember to label this Exercise 1 and note the date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Point of This Exercise\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book about answering the important questions in your life.  You've just begun the process of thinking about them.  In the next chapter, I'll ask you to think about them more concretely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGranting You Three Wishes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust Imagine, You Can Ask Anything . . .\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'd like you to imagine that you're about to be granted a special audience with an all-seeing individual.  It's hard to believe, but this person can tell you anything you want to know about any person or event in the past, present, or even future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, just like Aladdin's genie, this omniscient being has granted you a wonderful gift: the answers to any three questions of your choosing.  Any three.  What questions would you ask?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey wouldn't be trivial--you have been granted just three, after all.  This would not be the appropriate time to focus on where you left your car keys or whether you should substitute chestnuts for walnuts in your mother's Thanksgiving recipe for turkey stuffing.  You wouldn't want to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, these questions would involve major life issues.  Very likely they would concern your career or your relationships.  Your questions might be about obstacles or opportunities you're likely to encounter in the coming months and how best to deal with them.  Or perhaps there is a mystery from your past you'd like to solve once and for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince you'll want to be able to use the information, you wouldn't ask about events decades from now.  You'd ask about issues you could verify one way or another in the next six to twelve months, a few years at the outside.  If you asked about the meaning of life, for example, you would not ever be able to verify whether the answer you were given was correct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExercise 2\u003cbr\u003eSo, What Would You Ask?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRight now, get a pen and a piece of paper and come up with three questions.  They can be about personal or business matters.  They can be about yourself, someone you know, or someone who hasn't even come into your life yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't be shy, really let loose.  No one is going to see these questions but you.  Don't think any of your questions are silly.  \"Will my breasts ever grow?\" would have been my main question in the years between childhood and adolescence!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese need not be yes\/no questions.  They should be varied and not overlapping, though they don't have to be in any particular order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain, ask questions you really want answered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't worry about whether you've phrased your questions perfectly.  In the next chapter you will be editing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have trouble narrowing your wish list down to three, brainstorm with as many questions as you'd like.  Once you've completed your longer list, use process of elimination to select the three questions you would \u003ci\u003emost\u003c\/i\u003e like answers to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you've finished writing them, label the list Exercise 2 and place it in your intuition notebook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHere's My Promise\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time you've finished this book, you will have detailed answers to your three questions.  You don't need to do research, ask an expert, or call the Psychic Hot Line (a psychic 900 number).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow, you ask?  Well, do you remember that person I mentioned whom you can consult, that remarkable individual with access to answers about any question?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was talking about \u003ci\u003eyou.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you will discover shortly, you are already intuitive.  You access your \"sixth sense\" unconsciously all the time.  You simply aren't aware of your intuition, or haven't learned to recognize it.  Trust me: You have the ability--right now--to get useful information instantly on any topic at any time, whether intellectually you know anything about it or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will help you develop your conscious control over this amazing faculty.  Through the exercises you will answer each question not just once but over and over, from different perspectives and in different time frames.  Incidentally, there is nothing preventing you from answering other questions on your own as you hone your intuitive ability.  The limit to three is simply so I can walk you through the exercises in an organized way.  I know this program works because over the past decade I've helped thousands of people tap their intuition.  By the end of this book, you'll be using your intuitive powers like never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember, I'm not going to answer your three questions.  You are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat means you'll have to complete the exercises conscientiously.  Since they're all about the major questions in your life, I'm sure they'll have your complete attention.  Besides, they're brief and fun, and they'll give you instant feedback on your progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf You Have Any Doubts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may be skeptical that anyone, much less you, can answer these questions.  I don't blame you.  Many of my students begin as skeptics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo I'm going to ask you to do something I ask of them.  If you don't believe you can answer these questions, I'd like you to cultivate an attitude you may have forgotten since childhood.  I'd like you \u003ci\u003eto pretend.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    ","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default
