But intuition can be used in almost everything, helps you achieve everything that you’ve set your heart to and accomplish everything that you desire.

Just take a look at some of the letters we’ve received below. These Silva graduates are using intuition to extend their families, find a missing person and even investigate the scene of an accident!

Using ESP to help adopt a child

Ken Mitchell, an experienced corporate trainer and a successful businessman, has used Silva techniques with his wife to help them adopting a little Russian girl. Ken was using the Silva techniques for the past five years with such outstanding success that he decided to become a Silva instructor. He explained “What I know now that I didn’t know before is that you ca use your intuition for more than detecting information that you can use in business, to help you make money and get what you want. You can use your psychic ability to communicate with higher intelligence so that those who are helping us can guide us to do the right thing. Jose Silva called that having an invisible means of support.”

Your intuitive experience begins in the Silva class itself…

When I was paired up with other people I did not know and, while holding an object of theirs, was able to pick up on a lot of information – something I really did not think I would be able to do when we started the exercise.  I think I was more amazed by how “psychic” I was (am), than the people I was paired up with, both of whom were astonished with the amount of detail I picked up on… I think myself and most, if not all, of my seminar mates were amazed with the results we achieved during the seminar.   I would even be interested in taking the seminar over again in the future as I think there is more information presented than I was able to appreciate during the seminar.

In this case, saving a life… (Remote Viewing Experience)

Marina Niemeijer, director of Silva activities in The Netherlands saved her life thanks the Silva’s techniques. One night she dreamt that she had a terrible car accident with her husband with a green van implicating a lot of other cars as well. In her dream, her husband died from the accident. When she woke up, she was terrified and she said “I went to my level and asked higher intelligence not to let this happen. I reprogrammed the story in such a way that we were not in this terrible accident.” The next day she had to drive 12 hour. Halfway cars were slowing down, there was an accident with a green van. One car had turned around 180 degrees. She said “I am very grateful for this experience, which showed me that the future consists of a set of possibilities, which, with the help of higher intelligence, we can direct.”

Another unusual application of Intuition…

Tween Coleman, a pilot of a major airline, used her mind to check for problems with the airplane and the weather conditions. Tweet credits the Silva techniques, which she learned in the 1970′s with helping her to achieve so much success.

And in this case, a Silva group was asked to investigate the scene of an accident (Remote Viewing Experience)

Verna Lee Shirley, a graduate from Silva Method, joined a group of cases working. One day there was a terrible accident in her hometown of Spearman, Texas. Four people were killed instantly on a collision of a truck and an automobile. The office didn’t know which driver was responsible and asked for some help. Working on this case, the Silva group had concluded both drivers were responsible because they were working in the middle of the highway instead of their entitled lane. The attorney was not happy to hear that and decided to hire a specialized expert who can look at photos, the wrecked vehicles and road marks to formulate an opinion about the cause. He arrived to the same conclusion as the Silva group.

Better and Better,

Laura

The term ESP stands for extra-sensory perception and refers to communication or perception by means outside the normal five senses.

ESP was once dismissed as superstition, but its existence has been repeatedly verified by numerous scientists and researchers in leading universities around the world. ESP, also called intuition, is a common faculty we all possess. Some people simply use it better than others.

A scientist by the name of Dr. J. B. Rhine conducted the first scientific experiments on ESP in the 1930’s and 40’s at Duke University.

Dr. Rhine had people attempt to guess which of five symbols would be on a playing card facing away from them. The odds of guessing correctly are one in five or 20%. But Dr. Rhine found that many people had accuracy rates far beyond this.

In some experiments the odds in favor of ESP were 22 billion to one. This proved that something was occurring which was allowing people to guess which cards were being picked,and this guessing was correct to a remarkable degree. The laws of probability were being violated.

His experiments also showed that distance, space and time played no significant effect on the success of the phenomenon.

A highly trained subject in France could guess the outcome of a card drawn in the US just as well when she was across the Atlantic Ocean, as when she was sitting directly opposite the person drawing the cards.

Furthermore, the subject could guess the outcome of a card drawn a year into the future – again with the same degree of accuracy.

Dr. Rhine’s experiments sent shock-waves across academia as other scientists raced to confirm them. His book Extra-Sensory Perception after 60 years became required reading for the introductory psychology class at Harvard. His experiments were repeated around the world 309 times involving 50,000+ people and 2 million sessions – proving without a doubt that ESP is real.

The Growing Acceptance of ESP

In the early part of the 20th century Einstein said:

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Today, with the jump in empirical scientific evidence and first-hand human experiences, belief in human intuition and ESP is rapidly rising.

The 1990 Gallup public opinion poll found that 93% of Americans polled believed in one or more of 18 paranormal phenomena, including ESP, mental healing, telepathy and clairvoyance.

And this number is increasing.

A follow up poll eleven years later, in May 2001 found that belief had actually increased in twelve out of thirteen phenomena measured in both the 1990 and 2001 polls and increased significantly (5% or more) in seven of them.

The 1990 Gallup Poll also asked Americans if they had had first-hand experience with paranormal phenomena. The results were surprising.

25% of Americans claim to have experienced telepathy. 25% claim success with mental healing.

More and more people are not only believing in ESP and mental healing, but are also experiencing and using it.

Belief in mental and spiritual healing has increased significantly (up 8%) between 1990 and 2001.

Today, about three in four Americans have at least one paranormal belief. Some of the most professed beliefs are in ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, and mind-body healing.  The most recent Gallup Poll released June 2005, showed that extra sensory perception was the most popular belief at 41%.

“Sure,” say the skeptics, “the majority of Americans may believe in ESP but this is usually the less educated majority. Educated people can’t be taking this seriously, right?”

Wrong.

Studies have shown that, as education increases, belief in ESP also increases.

The May 2001 Gallup Poll discovered that “Americans with the highest levels of education are more likely to believe in the power of the mind to heal the body”. The same is true for ESP and telepathy.

One major study done in 1977 found a positive correlation between intelligence and paranormal belief – the more intelligent you were, the more you believed in a world beyond the five senses.

Another 1984 study, a sample of high school students, found higher grade point averages correlated positively with belief in ESP phenomenon.

Finally, a 1989 CBS television poll done in conjunction with 48 hours uncovered that 75% of persons with a college degree believed in paranormal phenomena, while only 36% of people with less than a high school degree believed in these phenomena. In short, as education increased, so did belief.

If you believe in ESP – congratulations.

The majority of educated Americans now share your belief.

The Stunning Scientific Evidence

Scientific research on ESP is still in its infancy. But the evidence being produced is highly compelling.

These are summaries of some recent discoveries…

1. Everyone has ESP to some degree.

In the 1960s, Dr. Montague Ullman, founder of the Dream Laboratory at the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York and professor emeritus of clinical psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York conducted a series of experiments that provided strong empirical evidence that everyone possesses psychic ability.

In Dr. Ullman’s study volunteers who claimed to possess no psychic ability were asked to sleep in a room in the lab while a person in another room concentrated on a randomly selected painting and tried to get the volunteer to dream of the image it contained. Sometimes the results were inconclusive. But other times the volunteers had dreams that were clearly and strikingly influenced by the paintings.

2. The greater your belief  – the stronger your ESP ability.

Dr. G. R. Schmeidler of the Harvard Psychological Clinic went on to show that telepathy was not only real, but was strongly affected by a person’s belief in his or her own telepathic abilities. He also performed experiments that proved that telepathic power exists in everyone.

3. The mind can influence matter at any distance

In the 1980s and 1990s Dr. Robert G. Jahn and Dr. Brenda J. Dunne of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory showed that some humans possess telekinetic power and various forms of telepathy and that these are both distance and time independent.

Dr. Jahn is Professor of Aerospace science and dean emeritus of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton (1994). Dr. Dunne is the manager of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory (P.E.A.R). Their book Margins of Reality – The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World will make even the strongest skeptic think twice.

4. The evidence for ESP is very strong.

More recently, Professor Robert Morris and Dr. Caroline Watt of the Koestler Institute at Edinburgh University conducted experiments where over 100 subjects in a locked room were asked to pick out which of four pictures were “beamed” to them by a subject in another room. Success rates were 50%, twice the 25% that pure statistical results should have produced. The odds of this occurring are approximately 1 in 14 million.

These results are 35,000 times more significant than the level of evidence governments demand from pharmaceutical companies before a new drug is let out on the market.

The conclusion:

ESP is real.

Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a Spirit is manifest in the Laws of the Universe.

~ Albert Einstein

A Word of Caution

When it comes to belief in ESP, people tend to fall into four different groups.

Which one are you?

1. Disbeliever

The first group is the disbeliever. They simply refuse to believe in any phenomenon that cannot be explained by Newtonian physics. No amount of scientific evidence will convince them otherwise.

2. Skeptic

The second is the skeptic. This is someone who does not believe in ESP because it goes against his knowledge of science. However, the skeptic is open-minded and when given strong scientific evidence they would be willing to admit that ESP does exist. A skeptic would cast aside testimonial evidence but will give strong consideration to the results of scientific research.

3. Cautious Believer

Third the cautious believer. This person trusts that ESP exists but will not believe every claim they read about. They demand scientific proof or testimonial evidence*. A cautious believer would find this series of lessons interesting because it is backed up with scientific evidence and references to respected outside sources.

4. True Believer

The fourth group, the true believer strongly believes in ESP and is likely to also believe anything they read or hear. If you are one – we encourage you to exercise caution. Not everyone who claims to have ESP has it to an extent strong enough to charge you money for.

When it comes to a little understood phenomena, such as ESP, it is better to be a cautious believer or a skeptic rather than a true believer.

Do We Know How it Works?

A number of theories have been but put forth on how ESP works but these are still nothing more than theories.

Today, it is generally accepted that ESP does exist and everyone has it but science has yet to identify how or why it works.

However, we do not need to know how it works to use it – we only need to know that it does work.

Think of the sun. For thousands of years we have used the energy of the sun for light and heat. Yet, nobody knew what the sun really was. It was only in the last 100 years that humankind was able to understand that the sun is large star made up of hydrogen and helium atoms going through a thermo-nuclear reaction.

It’s the same with ESP – we do not yet know how it works or why. But we do know that it is real.

And as any Silva UltraMind System grad will tell you – once you learn to use it – you can create many positive and beneficial effects in your life.

There are no unnatural or supernatural phenomena, only very large gaps in our knowledge of what is natural. We should strive to fill those gaps of ignorance.

~ Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut,Founder, Institute of Noetic Science

The Implications

The growing body of evidence for ESP and other unusual phenomenon is being noticed by businesses and governments.

Here’s a list of some recent developments:

SONY Corp has been conducting research into alternative medicine, spoon bending, telepathy and other forms of ESP.

Dr. John Mihalasky, author of the book Executive ESP, has shown that success rates for executives were proportional to their ESP ability lending credence to the idea that intuition is a large factor in business success.

In November 1995 the CIA confirmed that for the previous 20 years it has been using psychics for spy operations.

In November 1998 the US Patent Office issues the first patent for a psi- effect.

In July 1993 Mutual of Omaha, the nation’s largest provider of health insurance for individuals announces that it would start paying benefits for meditation exercises designed to reverse heart disease.

In 1997 the Federal Government’s National Institute for Health formally endorses acupuncture.

In April 2004 researchers in Denver University found that patients who underwent a placebo surgery for Parkinson’s Disease reported a better quality of life twelve months later. One woman even reported a resumption of full physical activity, having been inactive for many years before surgery.

The power of the placebo effect has been seen before in Parkinson’s disease but not to this extent. Clearly the mind-body connection is very strong in this condition and it’s to be hoped that ways can be found to exploit this to benefit the patient.

Enhancing Your ESP

ESP is a natural ability that is heightened when you are in a state of meditation.

One simple technique to use your ESP is to go to your alpha level and ask yourself a problematic yet urgent question.

Let images appear on the mental screen (explained in Lesson 3). Do not analyze what you see. Simply describe what you see mentally to yourself. Focus on describing rather than analyzing. As soon as you start analyzing what you see you allow your left brain to hijack the process.

We want to stress that it takes a lot of practice to develop your ESP. In our seminars participants experience ESP after 2 days – but this is after 18 hours of intensive training and guidance from a trained lecturer.

If you are unable to get results with the technique described above, don’t worry. You can still develop your ability by attending a seminar.

Another technique is called “dream-logging”

Louisa Rhine, the wife of Dr. J. B. Rhine conducted an ESP experiment of her own while her husband was testing ESP ability empirically in a lab. Louisa asked people to write to her about their first-hand experiences with ESP. She received almost 14,000 letters. She found that 60% of the people who wrote to her claimed that their ESP experience came to them while dreaming.

You might be experiencing ESP dreams too. But you usually forget your dreams.

“Dream-logging” is simple. Simply keep a pad and pencil by your beside and write down your dreams in the morning when you wake up or in the middle of the night if you suddenly awaken during a dream.

With practice anyone can develop and enhance their ESP. The ability, like sports or musical talent is something that anyone can train themselves to be good at.

But keep in mind that the old saying of practice makes perfect does not apply here. In fact it rarely applies to anything. Perfect practice makes perfect. You need to practice the right exercises, in the right sequence, with the right training and mindset.

This is where the Silva Intuition System comes into play. Along with the S.E.E (Silva ESP Enhancer) software, students are able to make massive strides in the intuition development in a relatively short period of time.

But imagine my surprise when I receive letters from Silva students who are world champions in their sporting field, and they tell me that they use the Silva Method to help them excel in their chosen sporting field!

Here are three stories from three champions to inspire and learn from.

A Master In Martial Arts – An Intuitive Athlete

Guiseppina Del Vicario, the 3 years consecutive winner of the Italian martial arts championship in Tai Chi Chuan, said “The ability to correctly anticipate what your opponent is going to do gives you a definite edge in competition. In fact the ability to use your intuition to get information and to anticipate future events is the real secret to outstanding success in every area of life.

Fencing Champions On Guard

To help his fencers develop a strategy, Andrzej Wojcikiewicz, a sports psychologist and former coach of the Canadian National Fencing Team used a special Silva’s Technique. “One fencer imagined putting on the head of a world champion before a match, got the feeling, took off the “helmet”, and then fenced the match with a great success. This techniques was used by some fencers before unusually difficult bouts in order to instinctively plan the correct strategy for the fencing match.”

Shoot! A ‘Third Eye’ For Competitive Shooting?

Lance Miller, an international shooting coach at the US Olympic Training Center, said that one of the most important things in the Silva course to help his athlete is intuition. She said “I tell my guys and girls that if everything doesn’t feel right, don’t shoot. When they learn to project their minds to detect problems, this helps them tremendously.”

Here’s one letter which I received from a Silva student named L.Hanes. He sent a letter to our New York City instructor the day after completing a Silva class there, and the instructor forwarded his letter to us.

Such a refreshing read, and left me with a big smile on my face

Your seminar was a tour-de-force.

I procrastinated taking a Silva Seminar for 10 years! Better late than never and “There’s a time for everything.”

You are a mental wizard and you know your stuff! I have heard some sophisticated metaphysicians downplay the Silva method as a collection of older mystical techniques but who wants a car, or can afford a car, in which EVERY PART is manufactured by one person?!

The universal appeal of Silva is the brilliant and exact craftmanship of Mr. Jose Silva’s coordination and innovation. I feel like I gained a graduate degree in success, psychic development and personal power in two relaxing, demanding and social days.

Your orchestration was like a classical symphony. I “saw” a Oxford Health Plan card in a person’s pocket book and “pefectly described” her non-attendant boyfriend with one day of your instruction. By the second day you had me “seeing” and healing people hundreds of miles away.

Books are great and I got good results from the Ultramind book which led to my purchasing the home correspondence course. It was phenomenal and revolutionized my life which led me to you 7 weeks later.

Reading books and listening to tapes about Paris is not like going there with a man who knows Paris! And now I have all 3! I just worked a case on the child of a friend and while I still respect prayer I know that I have done something much more powerful.

I know that Silva holds the keys to achieving every one of my goals with Maximum speed and Minimum effort. I’m eternally grateful to you. God Bless!
