GPM
Means Goals Problem Mass. A GPM is composed of mental masses and significances which have an exact pattern, unvarying from person to person, whose significances dictate a certain type of behavior and whose masses, when pulled in on the individual, cause psychosomatic effects, such as illnesses, pains or feelings of heaviness and tiredness.

Usage
A GPM — Goals Problem Mass — consists of mental masses and significances arranged in an exact pattern that dictates certain behavior and can cause psychosomatic effects such as illnesses, pains, or feelings of heaviness and tiredness. These patterns are unvarying from person to person.
Why It Matters
GPMs represent deeply embedded structures in the mind that drive compulsive behavior and physical discomfort. Addressing GPMs in advanced auditing can resolve long-standing psychosomatic conditions and free the individual from fixed behavior patterns.
