About this session
- Clarifies your purpose
- Sparks career ideas
- Sharpens focus
- Builds self-belief
Burt Goldman first counts you down into a calm, focused state, then shows you a door. Beyond it wait twin selves who chose different careers: one for money, one for a place to live, one for helping others, one for family. You watch each, then step into their life.
It suits anyone unsure about their next move, or wondering whether the work they do matches what matters to them. Try it in the morning to set direction, or in the late afternoon when you want a clear head about where your career is going.

Who are the four twin selves?
They are versions of you who made different choices and ended up with different careers. The first has money as their main purpose, the second a place or country to live in, the third helping others, and the fourth a career built around family. Each looks, acts and talks like you, because they are you.
What do I do when I meet each twin self?
You do two things in order. First you observe, simply watching what that self is doing. Then you merge with them and do the same thing, noticing how it feels and how it compares with what you are doing at present. Each visit is moved along by a count from one to three.
What is the door for?
After a count of three, a door appears in front of you. It is described as the jumping-off place to wherever your intent directs you, with an infinite number of universes beyond it. You step or jump through, whichever feels comfortable, and later you come back through it to this reality.
Why touch the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth?
Midway through, you hold that touch while Burt counts from one to three. The idea is that you are programming a cue: whenever you do it afterwards, you are striving for success in something. He suggests using it to strengthen intent, as a way of telling your mind to come to attention before you act.
What is the fifth self at the end?
After the four set purposes, you are invited to let a different purpose pop into your mind, something you've just thought of. You visit that self, observe, and merge if you're comfortable. Then you ask how that purpose fits your plans for yourself. Finally, you can jump on your own to the twin self you feel most comfortable with.
What are the opening counts and phrases about?
You begin by breathing out while picturing the numbers three, two and one, then count down from ten to one to settle into a focused state. You also repeat "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better" and affirmations such as "I can do anything I have a desire to do." They set a confident tone before the visits.
