			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Improving Your Mind</h2>
<p><strong>The mind is known for its amazing powers.</strong> Those that invest the proper effort into cultivating the power of the human mind will be surprised at how enhanced mind power can prove to be. Often, w<em>hen the powers of the human mind are effectively boosted, the ability to increase and improve your lot in life may be likely.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://s87.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/wheels.png" alt="Wheels" /></p>
<p>Now, the term mind power is not used to describe amazing mental powers along the lines of ESP, mind reading, or telekinesis. No, <strong>this is a concept that refers to the ability to maximize your mind’s ability to perform with the highest level of sharpness and clarity of thought.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The subconscious mind is filled with untapped potential. </strong>The subconscious contains a collective of your experience. These experiences can be somewhat limiting if they lock down certain abilities you could maximize if you put forth the right effort to do so.<em> Again, this does not refer to any over the top or outrageous abilities. It simply refers to the common traits of an empowered mind.</em></p>
<p>What can be considered a trait of an empowered mind? There are quite a few of these components and they include:</p>
<p><em><strong>Increased/Enhanced Memory:</strong></em> Our memories become dulled when we do not work at improving them. The ability to enhance memories and recollections is not all that difficult. It simply entails reducing how much falls from the forefront of our brain to deep within the subconscious.</p>
<p><em><strong>Greater Concentration:</strong></em> When you have the ability to concentrate and concentrate effectively, you will find it has a ripple effect through the rest of your life. Concentration ensures you do not miss out on little things. You pay closer attention to detail and things do not get past you. The benefits of these attributes are enormous.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s52.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/mind_power.png" alt="mind power" /></p>
<p><strong><em>A Positive Sense of the Self:</em></strong> How could you succeed in life if you did not possess a positive image of yourself and who you are? Most people realize that a strong and positive self image is a must for success in life. Yet, what exists deep down inside the subconscious may impede their ability to succeed with the task.  By getting to the root of what may be undermining your sense of the self, you can help eliminate such issues and become a more fully actualized human being.</p>
<p><em><strong>Awareness:</strong></em> You could say this is another side to increased and enhanced concentration. Awareness expands your ability to be perceptive. Increased perception has many rewards. Those willing to do what is needed to expand their perception of what is around them will find their interactions with others is more effective.</p>
<p>Of course, <strong>this is just a brief overview of the common benefits you can acquire from tapping into the power of the subconscious mind.</strong> Those that opt to work on expanding their subconscious and its overall potential will discover incredible improvements in other areas of life as a result.</p>
<p>This will raise questions regarding how one can sharpen the power of the mind and make it work more effectively. <strong>The answer to such questions simple entails performing a few simple mental exercises (some of which are not even really exercises) designed to increase mental capabilities…</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://s7.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/books.jpg" alt="books" /></p>
<p><em>Read as often as possible. </em>Reading is to the mind as jogging is to the body. It improves overall health and performance in sorts of different ways. Whether you are looking to increase your knowledge base or engaging in critical thinking, reading can help you attain such results.</p>
<p>Do not dismiss the value of brain twisters or mental puzzles. While such things may seem trivial, they are not. <strong>Brain twisters and mental puzzles can sharpen the mind and make it stronger. </strong>Again, that is why they should never be dismissed.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s1.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/monkey.jpg" alt="monkey" /></p>
<p><strong>Calm the chaos and anger that may exist in the mind; Calm the monkey in your mind.</strong> Investing in meditation and other such approaches might prove to be the best plan to achieve such a goal. When the mind is calm, it can be more effective. It is as simple as that.</p>
<p>The mind is known for having a great many potential powers that can be tapped into when you put the right effort into cultivating such skills. Even a small amount of effort can yield tremendous improvements in the way a person lives.</p>

<p>It is in the nature of human beings to be apprehensive about change. It is part of our survival programming &#8211; we never know whether the unknown will be beneficial, or a threat to our survival.<strong> Whenever somebody suggests something new, this automatically triggers the survival mechanism. Some people use this energy to explore and discover ways to improve conditions on the planet, while others take a defensive posture.</strong></p>
<p>This was true in Jesus&#8217; day, when the religious establishment opposed the brash young man<strong> who dared to suggest that there was new knowledge that could be beneficial to humanity.</strong></p>
<p>About 450 years ago, shortly after Columbus sailed to America and proved that the earth is round, a scientist named Galileo proclaimed that he had confirmed what Copernicus had figured out &#8211; that the earth and the other planets rotate around the sun. This would explain why planets sometimes appear to go backwards in the sky.</p>
<p>In the mid-20th Century a scientist named Jose Silva ran into an opposition from leaders in the church&#8230; <strong>Silva always insisted that he was not trying to hurt religion or replace it.<em> He simply wanted to add some knew discoveries to what was already known</em>.</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://s33.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/compass.jpg" alt="compass" /></p>
<p>However, the religious leaders of the time believed that the earth was at the center of the universe. It had to be so, they reasoned, since man was a divine creation. This had become part of their doctrine, their dogma. Galileo&#8217;s assertion upset church leaders so much that they tortured him to force him to recant. <strong>But this did not change the reality that the earth in fact does revolve around the sun.</strong></p>
<p>In the mid-20th Century a scientist named Jose Silva ran into similar opposition from leaders in the church, as well as scientists, and even leaders in the business community. <strong>Many of us who wanted to explore this new science with him also ran into opposition.</strong></p>
<p>Jose didn&#8217;t claim to know it all. <strong>He described his research findings as &#8220;semi-conclusions&#8221; because more will surely be added later</strong>. Perhaps he has discovered half of the truth. <em>New research will find even more of it</em>. Here is how he explained it at a Silva International Convention.</p>
<p>&#8220;We learned how to activate our brain within the subconscious by guiding the mind to look for a different brain frequency and to learn to use it,&#8221; he said. <strong>&#8220;That&#8217;s what psychorientology means &#8211; orienting the psyche, your mind, to look for and find that specific dimension, and then to use it.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s98.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/file0306.jpg" alt="Jose" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Science is open-ended all the time,&#8221; Jose continued. &#8220;It is like a telescope &#8211; if you get a better telescope, you discover more planets, more solar systems, more galaxies. If you discover a better microscope, you go further within matter.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Surely someone will get a better &#8220;telescope&#8221; some day and learn even more in this field. </em>It will not negate what Jose Silva found. When scientists figured out that there was some kind of body that was influencing the orbits of the outermost planets, they predicted that there was one more planet on the outskirts of our solar system. <strong>They did not have a powerful enough telescope at the time, but when they got one, they could actually see the planet Pluto</strong>.</p>
<p>The discovery of Pluto did not change what scientists had already discovered. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the other planets were still there. Scientists had simply gone farther.<strong> Jose Silva always insisted that he was not trying to hurt religion or replace it. He simply wanted to add some knew discoveries to what was already known.</strong></p>
<p>The experiences of millions of people during the last decades, since Jose Silva began his research, certainly <strong>indicate that his discoveries have tremendous value.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Program for a special state of mind</h3>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s50.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/thezone.jpg" alt="Top of the World" width="238" height="197" /></p>
<p><strong>Have you ever had a day when everything you did was right, every movement was smooth and precise, when you felt that nobody could defeat you?</strong></p>
<p>Some athletes call that <strong>&#8220;being in the zone.&#8221; </strong>It is a time when you have great anticipation, when you seem to know in advance what is going to happen so that your reactions are always right.<strong> Jose Silva calls it being in a &#8220;special state of mind.&#8221;</strong></p>
<h6>You can condition yourself to be in this special state of mind more often by using your alpha level.
Here is Jose Silva to tell us how to do it:</h6>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://s27.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/beefck.jpg" alt="Jose Silva" width="198" height="136" /></p>
<p>&#8220;First, enter your level and recall a time when you were &#8216;in the groove,&#8217; when you were &#8216;in the zone,&#8217; when you performed perfectly, when everything you did was right, when you could feel yourself achieving your best, when you knew that you would achieve just what you desired. Recall how you felt at this time. This feeling is the result of a Special State of Mind. Recall exactly how you felt, physically, mentally, and emotionally, when you had this Special State of Mind.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any time in the future when you need to have this same state of mind again, <strong>all you need to do is to use those words, &#8216;Special State of Mind,&#8217; as a trigger mechanism to help you get into that state of mind where you will be just as successful again, and more so every time you do this.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Eventually you will establish enough points of reference for the feeling of being &#8216;in the groove,&#8217; &#8216;in the zone,&#8217; so that it will then be automatic</strong>. At that time, all you need to do is to recall that state of mind, of being &#8216;in the groove,&#8217; &#8216;in the zone,&#8217; and you will be there.</p>
<p>Every time that you perform in a superior manner, every time that you have a very good training session or performance, then enter your level and reinforce that success at level, so that <strong>you will continue to get better and better every time you practice.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://s12.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/istock_000006374547medium.jpg" alt="Kick" width="456" height="194" /></p>
<p><strong>Giuseppina Del Vicario</strong></p>
<p>Giuseppina Del Vicario, who competed under the name Vidheya, won the Italian martial arts national champion in Tai Chi Chuan three consecutive years, competing against both men and women. She retired after that, undefeated. <strong>She has been a Silva lecturer in Italy since 1995.</strong></p>

<p>It is often said that everything on earth is connected through a higher power &#8211; <strong> That at some level everything in ONE!</strong> Try telling that to a group of skeptics; Jose Silva did. Back in 1966 when Jose Silva was teaching his first public course, most people didn&#8217;t believe in ESP.</p>
<p>This was true of Cleve Backster, a polygraph expert in New York who used to teach agents from the FBI and CIA how to use the &#8220;lie detector.&#8221; He wouldn&#8217;t budged if you told him that it was possible for human beings to communicate with plants. Until it happened to him&#8230;</p>
<p>One late night in his New York City office, <strong>he made a startling discovery that persuaded millions of people that at some level, there is a connection among all living things.</strong> What you’re about to discover below is his personal encounter.</p>
<p><strong>Cleve Backster description of landmark experiment to us in a presentation he made at the 1995 Silva International Convention in Laredo:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;For whatever reason, it occurred to me that it would be interesting to see how long it took the water to get from the root area of this plant, all the way up this long trunk and out and down to the leaves&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s28.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/plant..jpg" alt="Plant" width="213" height="141" /></p>
<p>&#8220;After doing a saturation watering of the plant, I thought, &#8216;Well gee whiz, I&#8217;ve got a lot of polygraph equipment around; <strong>let me hook the galvanic skin response section of the polygraph onto the leaf.&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Now this is a whetstone bridge circuit that is designed to measure resistance changes, and I felt that as the contaminated water came up the trunk and down into the leaf that the leaf, becoming more saturated and a better conductor, it would give me the rising time of the water&#8230;.I would be able to get that on the polygraph chart tracing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now the thing trended downward rather than upward, which amazed me a little bit because it should have been going slowly upward on the tracings, if it was going to show a drop in resistance&#8221; he continued, using slides of the polygraph chart to help illustrate what he was saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;I moved it up here &#8211; this was my move &#8211; and then it came down again, and this is the thing that amazed me right here because this contour right away&#8230;I&#8217;m looking and thinking, &#8216;That&#8217;s got the contour of a human being tested, reacting when you are asking a question that could get them in trouble.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I forgot about the rising water time and said, Wow, this thing wants to show me people-like reactions. What can I do that will be a threat to the well being of the plant, similar to the fact that a relevant question regarding a crime could be a threat to a person taking a polygraph test if they&#8217;re lying. About fifteen minutes along &#8211; thirteen minutes and fifty-five seconds along in this initial observation &#8211; I had tried different things to try to get a reaction from this plant. I had even dipped a neighboring leaf into a cup of rather warm coffee &#8211; and the plant didn&#8217;t show me any reaction. It showed me, if anything, boredom, and just continued to go downwards. If this thing were an individual, it would have indicated that they were getting bored and sleepy.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://s95.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/idea.jpg" alt="Idea" /></p>
<p>&#8220;But over here,&#8221; he said pointing to a sudden jump in the graph, &#8220;the idea occurred to me &#8211; and only the idea &#8211; &#8216;I know what I am going to do: I am going to burn that plant leaf, that very leaf that&#8217;s attached to the polygraph.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now I didn&#8217;t have matches in the room. I wasn&#8217;t touching the plant in any way. I was maybe five feet away from the desk. I was essentially away from the plant.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The only new thing that occurred was my intent to burn that plant leaf.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Right here, split second-wise, was when I thought of burning that plant leaf and the image entered my mind. I wasn&#8217;t using words at all.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;And up that the thing went into a wild agitation.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Now this was very late at night and towards morning. The building was empty and there was just no other reason for this reaction. This had been going along at a fairly stable level all the way up to this point.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So this amazed me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This, I would say, would be a very high quality observation, and my consciousness hasn&#8217;t been the same since. And this happened in 1966.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I thought, &#8216;Wow! This thing read my mind!&#8217; It was that obvious to me right then.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;So then I went to get some matches from the next room. The secretary was a smoker, and I got some matches out of her desk and brought them in.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The next will show where I came back in the room, right about here. I lit the match. I was even into burning a neighboring leaf rather than the leaf I had hooked up. Somehow that was already a special leaf.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Even before I had a chance to do this I thought, &#8216;Well, this massive degree of reaction that I&#8217;m getting here, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to see any additional reaction if it did occur.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I thought, &#8216;Well, let me reverse the process and remove the threat from the room.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;I took the matches back out of the room here, came back in at this point, and the thing just evened right out again, which really rounded it out and gave me a very, very high quality observation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now when my partner in the polygraph school we were running at the time came in, he was able to do the same thing also, as long as he intended to burn the plant leaf. <strong>If he pretended to burn the plant leaf, it wouldn&#8217;t react.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;It could tell the difference between pretending you are going to, compared to when you actually intend  to do it, which is quite interesting in itself from a plant psychology standpoint.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Cleve Backster  has since been featured in the book The Secret Life of Plants in 197?. Largely as a result of this publicity, many people began talking to their houseplants to get them to grow better.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://s66.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/energy.jpg" alt="Energy" width="255" height="170" /></p>
<p>One of the most popular exercises in the Silva Method Children’s Course is the “Bean Experiment”.  In this experiment, the instructor has two ziplock bags of bean wrapped in a moist cloth. Both bags of beans were cared for in the exact same manner. The only difference was that one of the bags of beans was given positive energy by the kids.  As the children  did this, the were asked to visualize the chosen bag to grow big and strong.  They did this everyday for 3 days and to their amazement the beans they sent energy to grew significantly more than other bag.</p>
<p>We invite you to try this little experiment or simply send positive energy to your own plants. See if you notice any fascinating changes.  We personally believe that everything is one and connected. And we’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The Beginning</h3>
<p>Jose Silva was born on August 11, 1914, in Laredo, Texas. When he was four, his father died. His mother later remarried, and he, his older sister, and younger brother moved in with their grandmother. Two years later he became the family bread-winner, selling newspapers, shining shoes, and doing odd jobs. In the evenings he watched his sister and brother do their homework, and they helped him learn to read and write.</p>
<p>He has never gone to school, except to teach.</p>
<p>Jose’s rise from poverty began one day when he was waiting his turn in a barbershop. He reached for something to read. What he picked up was a lesson from a correspondence course on how to repair radios. Jose asked to borrow it, but the barber would only rent it, and only on the condition that Jose complete the correspondence course examinations in the barber’s name. Each week Jose paid a dollar, read the lesson, and completed the examination.</p>
<p>Soon a diploma hung in the barbershop, while across town Jose, at the age of fifteen, began to repair radios.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-482" title="radio" src="http://www.silvaultramindsystem.com/media/images/lessons/80s_radio.jpg" alt="pen" height="175" /></p>
<p>As the years passed, his repair business became one of the largest in the area, providing funds for the education of his brother and sister, the wherewithal for him to marry, plus eventually some half-million dollars to finance the twenty years of research that led to his mind-training systems.</p>
<p>The man who sparked Silva’s research was a psychiatrist whose job was to ask questions of men being inducted into the Signal Corps during World War II.</p>
<p>“Do you wet your bed?” the Army psychiatrist asked. Jose was dumbfounded. “Do you like women?” Jose, the father of three, and destined one day to be the father of ten, was shocked.</p>
<p>Surely, he thought, the man knew more about the human mind than the barber knew about radios. Why such odd questions?</p>
<p>It was this perplexing moment that started Jose on an odyssey of scientific research that led to his becoming <strong>one of the most creative scholars of his age</strong>. Through their writings, Freud, Jung, and Adler became his early teachers.</p>
<p>The “odd” questions took on deeper meanings, and soon Jose was ready to ask a question of his own: Is it possible, using hypnosis, to <strong>improve a person’s learning ability</strong> – in fact, to raise his I.Q.? In those days I.Q. was believed to be something we were born with, but Jose was not so sure.</p>
<p>The question had to wait while he studied advanced electronics to become an instructor in the Signal Corps. When he was discharged, with savings gone and $200 in his pocket, he began slowly to rebuild his radio repair business. At the same time he took on a part-time teaching job at Laredo Junior College where he supervised three other teachers and was charged with creating the school’s electronics laboratories.</p>
<p>Five years later, with television on the scene, his repair business began to flourish and Jose called a halt to his teaching career. His business once again became the largest in town. His workdays ended about 9pm each night. He would have dinner, help put the children to bed, and when the house was quiet, study for about three hours. His studies led him further into hypnosis.</p>
<p>What he learned about hypnosis, plus what he knew about electronics, and some F’s on his children’s report cards brought him back to the question he had raised earlier – <strong>can learning ability, the I.Q., be improved through some kind of mental training?</strong></p>
<h3>Can Learning Ability Be Raised Through Mind Training?</h3>
<p>Jose already knew that the mind generates electricity – he had read about experiments early in the century that revealed the Alpha brain wave rhythm. And he knew from his work in electronics that the ideal circuit is the one with the least resistance, or impedance, because it makes the greatest use of its electrical energy.</p>
<h4>Then he asked himself:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Can we lower our brain impedance?</li>
<li>If so, would the brain work more effectively by doing so?</li>
</ul>
<p>Jose began using hypnosis to quiet the minds of his children and he discovered what to many appeared to be a paradox. He found that the brain was more energetic when it was less active. At lower frequencies the brain received and stored more information. The crucial problem was to <strong>keep the mind alert at these frequencies</strong>, which are associated more with daydreaming and sleep than with practical activity.</p>
<p>Hypnosis permitted the receptivity Jose was looking for, <strong>but not the kind of independent thought that leads to reasoning things out</strong> so they can be understood. Having a head full of remembered facts is not enough; insight and understanding is necessary, too.</p>
<h4>Jose Finds the Answers with Mental Training</h4>
<p>Jose soon abandoned hypnosis and began experimenting with mental training exercises to quiet the brain yet keep it more independently alert than in hypnosis. This, he reasoned, would lead to improved memory combined with understanding and hence to higher I.Q. scores.</p>
<p>The exercises from which Silva’s techniques evolved called for relaxed concentration and vivid mental visualization and ways of reaching lower levels. Once reached, these levels proved more effective than the fully awake level, the Beta level, in learning.</p>
<h4>The Proof</h4>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://s21.mindvalley.us/silvaintuitionsystem/media/images/children.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>His children’s grades improved sharply over a three-year period while he continued to improve his techniques.</p>
<p>Jose had scored a new discovery – a very significant one, which other research, principally biofeedback, has since confirmed. He was the first person to prove that <strong>we can learn to function with awareness at the Alpha and Theta frequencies of the brain</strong>.</p>
<p>Another discovery, an equally astonishing one, was soon to come.</p>
<h3>Silva’s Child Reads His Mind</h3>
<p>One evening Jose’s daughter had gone to her “center” (to use today’s Silva UltraMind System terminology), and Jose was questioning her about her studies. As she answered each question, he framed the next in his mind. This was the usual procedure, and so far the session was no different from hundreds that had gone before. Suddenly, the routine was momentously changed.</p>
<p>Jose would frame the question in his mind first, before verbally asking the question. All of a sudden, <strong>his daughter answered the very question he was planning on asking</strong> – <em>before</em> he had a chance to verbally express the question.</p>
<p>She repeated this again and again. Jose would only frame the question in his mind and she would answer it. She was reading his mind.</p>
<p>This was in 1953, when <span>ESP</span> was becoming a respectable subject for scientific inquiry, largely through the published work of Dr. J. B. Rhine of Duke University. Jose wrote to Dr. Rhine to report that he had trained his daughter to practice <span>ESP</span> and received a disappointing answer. Dr. Rhine hinted that the girl might have been psychic to begin with. Without tests of the girl before the training, there was no way to tell.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Jose’s neighbors noticed that his children’s schoolwork had remarkably improved. At the beginning of his experiments these highly religious people had been wary of his probing into the unknown. However, <strong>the success of a man working with his own children</strong> could not be ignored. Would Jose train their children too?</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">“He had developed the first method in history that can train anyone to use <span>ESP</span>.”</h5>
<p>After the letter from Dr. Rhine, this was just what Jose needed. If what he had accomplished with one child could be accomplished with others, he would have chalked up the kind of repeatable experiments that are the basis to the scientific method.</p>
<p>Over the next 10 years he trained 39 Laredo children, with even better results because he improved his techniques a little with each child.</p>
<p>He had developed the first method in history that can train anyone to use <span>ESP</span>, and he had 39 repeatable experiments to prove it. Now to perfect the method.</p>
<h3>Silva’s Course Takes Shape</h3>
<p>Within another three years, <strong>Jose developed the course of mind training</strong>, which is now standard and as effective with adults as with children. Back then it took 40 to 48 hours. It has since been reduced to 18 to 20 hours through further refinement of the techniques.</p>
<p>So far it has been validated by some 1,000,000 <em>experiments</em> – the graduates of his course. This is a measure of repeatability that no open-minded scientist can ignore.</p>
<p>These long years of research were financed by Jose’s growing electronics business. No university, foundation or government grants were available for such an unusual and unfamiliar field of research. With all this success, Jose did not become a celebrity, nor a guru or spiritual leader with followers or disciples. He was a plain man of simple ways, who spoke with the soft, almost lost accent of a Mexican-American. He was a powerfully built, stocky man with a kindly face that creases easily into a smile.</p>
<p>Anyone who asked Jose what success has meant to him was answered with a flood of success stories.</p>
<h4>Here are a few examples:</h4>
<h5>Health</h5>
<p>A woman wrote to the <em>Boston Herald American</em> begging for some way to help her husband, who was tormented by migraine headaches. The newspaper printed her letter, then another letter the next day from someone else also pleading for a way to control such headaches.</p>
<p>A physician read these letters and wrote that she has <strong>had migraine headaches all her life</strong>. She had taken Jose Silva’s course and had not had one since. “And would you believe it, the next introductory lecture was mobbed. Absolutely mobbed,” said Jose.</p>
<p>Another physician and prominent psychiatrist, advises all his patients to <strong>study Silva techniques because it gives them insights</strong> that in some cases would require two years of therapy to produce.</p>
<h5>Creativity and Business</h5>
<p>An entire marketing company was organized as a co-op by graduates who used what they learned in the Silva Mind Method to <strong>invent new products and devise ways of marketing them</strong>. In its third year, the company had eighteen products on the market.</p>
<p>An advertising man used to need about two months to <strong>create a campaign for new clients</strong> – about average in his field. Then after Silva training, the basic ideas come in twenty minutes and the rest of the work was done in two weeks.</p>
<h5>Sports Performance</h5>
<p>Fourteen Chicago White Sox players took Silva’s class. All their individual <strong>averages improved</strong>, most of them dramatically.</p>
<h5>Weight Control and Bad Habits</h5>
<p>A husband of an overweight woman suggested she try the class because all her diets had failed. She agreed, provided he went too. <strong>She lost twenty pounds in six weeks; he stopped smoking</strong>.</p>
<h5>Better Grades</h5>
<p>A professor at a college of pharmacy <strong>teaches Silva techniques to his students</strong>. “Their grades are going up in all their courses, with less studying, and they’re more relaxed. Everybody already knows how to use his or her imagination. I just get my students to practice it more.”</p>
<h5>In the Press</h5>
<p>The press also wrote about Silva’s new program. The following extract from an April 16, 1972 <strong><em>New York Times</em></strong> article “<em>Can Man Control His Mind</em>“ says it all.</p>
<p>“A recent study by Trinity University, San Antonio, Tex. would appear to indicate that <strong>graduates of Mind Control do attain a high degree of Alpha production</strong>. C. W. Post College, Greenvale, L. I., is planning to offer the course at its business school this fall and Canisius College will offer it in its Department of Religious Studies.</p>
<p>“A visit to a Mind Control class in New York discloses more stockbrokers than bearded way out and the dress style is closer to Brooks Brothers than to the East Village. <strong>A major New York company has sent all its top executives through the course</strong> and its president, a hard-headed businessman, is seriously thinking of instituting an in-house training program for all employees. He refused to speak for the record, saying, “We think there is something there, but I don’t want to alarm our stockbrokers at the moment.”</p>
<p>Other businessmen are not so reluctant. Lee Epstein, a vice- president and art group supervisor at Doyle Dane Bernbach volunteered: “<strong>It opened the gates for me. It has re-energized me, made me more creative and yet more relaxed. I practice it every day and get better and better at my job and my life</strong>.”</p>
<p>Although Jose smiled easily, when he heard people tell him “Jose, you’ve changed my life!” the smile fades a little and he would say, “No, I didn’t do it. You did, with your own mind.”</p>
<p>Jose passed away pea cefully in February of 1999. The Silva UltraMind System was his final creation and was completed shortly before he departed.</p>
<h3>A Series of Remarkable Coincidences</h3>
<p>Here we have included a <strong>personal story from Jose Silva</strong> about a fascinating experience he went through while developing his Silva mind training methods. We have re-printed the story from Jose’s first-person perspective.</p>
<div>
<p>I want to mention an experience that I went through, which I feel was responsible for the continuation of our research. In fact, I will say that if this experience had not taken place, our mind training system would not exist today.</p>
<p>This happened while <strong>I was still studying psychology</strong>. I had studied and practiced hypnosis and was investigating parapsychology, but had not yet trained the first subject to function as a clairvoyant. During this time <strong>I went through a period of disillusionment</strong>. I worked long hours and I was the one to close our electronics business establishment at 9pm each night.</p>
<p>Usually after closing the business at 9pm I would go home, have dinner and help Paula, my wife, put the children to bed. By that time it would be about 11pm at night and I would take out the psychology books and study for two, three and sometimes four hours.</p>
<p><strong>One night I suddenly realized that what I was reading did not make sense any more</strong>. I said, “What am I doing to myself, studying psychology? I am not a psychologist, nor do I plan to become one. I had a heavy day’s work yesterday and I am going to have another heavy day of work tomorrow, and I am wasting good hours of sleep, studying psychology!”</p>
<p>I closed the book and threw it on the floor. It slid under a couch and I said to myself, “That is the last time I will have anything to do with psychology!”</p>
<p><strong>I went to sleep immediately but two hours later a bright light inside my head woke me up</strong>. It was a light like the mid-day sun when you look up into space on a cloudless sunny day. Hanging in space were two sets of numbers, one set over the other.</p>
<p>The first set was <strong>3-4-3</strong>, the second set under the first one was <strong>3-7-3</strong>.</p>
<p>Right after that an impression of Christ and the “One Solitary Life” poem given to me at the army reception center came to me. “Why Christ?” I wondered, “Why me? What does this have to do with the numbers?”</p>
<p>I opened my eyes and it was dark. I glanced at the clock on the bed stand and it was 4:30 in the morning.</p>
<p>Fascinated, I tried some experiments with myself and the light.</p>
<p><strong>I closed my eyes trying to keep the bright light from disappearing since it was fading gradually</strong>. I tried breathing slowly, but that did not help. I tried changing positions, but that did not help either. I tried to slow down my heart, but whatever I did was not enough. The bright light continued to fade, until it went out completely.</p>
<p><strong>I stayed awake from there on, trying to analyze what had happened</strong>. I thought of Paula and how she used to jokingly tell me, “They say that people who read too much go crazy.” I was not going to tell her about the light in my head because I knew her answer would be, “I told you so!” But one thing I kept thinking of was that for whatever reason this happened, it must be all right because of the impression of Christ (my inherited religious belief system) that came to me with the experience.</p>
<p>The first explanation I thought of was that maybe I was supposed to call someone who has that phone number. I went through the telephone book from cover to cover but did not find any listing for the numbers I had seen. My next idea was that maybe I should go to someone’s home who has these numbers as their address and if I find it, they might have a message for me. But when I studied a city map, I found that the home addresses in Laredo did not use those numbers.</p>
<p>It was about four in the afternoon when I came up with another idea: I’d look at automobile and truck license plate numbers. I did this for the rest of the day, ready to ask for my message from the driver of any vehicle that had those numbers, but I did not find a car or truck license to match my mysterious numbers.</p>
<p>It was fifteen minutes before nine when I started to close my business. Paula came in from our house next door and said to me, “If you go across the river into Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, for a service call, please get me a bottle of alcohol.” We use Mexican alcohol for medicinal purposes because it is pure and costs less than alcohol in Laredo. We have to let them put a cube of camphor in it when they sell it to us, so we do not have to pay a liquor tax on it. When the tax people at the border smell the camphor in the alcohol they don’t charge us any liquor tax. I told Paula, “Honey, I don’t have service calls from across the border, but I will go and get you a bottle anyway.”</p>
<p>At that very moment, an old friend of mine came in to invite me to go for some coffee. I said, “Help me to close my place and we’ll leave immediately” I then asked him how much time he had and he answered, “All the time in the world. Why?” I told him I wanted to go across into Mexico to get Paula a bottle of alcohol. He said, “Fine. I’ll go with you.”</p>
<p>While on the way <strong>I figured I could tell my friend about my experience</strong> since he had been studying psychology with me for one year. I felt sure he was not going to think I was crazy. I had not told anyone all day and I needed to tell someone, so I told him.</p>
<p>While crossing the bridge into Mexico my friend suggested, “Now that we are coming into Mexico and <strong>a national lottery operates in Mexico, maybe there is such a number</strong>.” I had not thought of that. “What have we got to lose?” I said. The lottery agency was just one block and a half further up the same street where we were going to get the alcohol.</p>
<p>We stopped right in front of the lottery agency. It was closed. It closed at nine o’clock and we had just missed it. “Finding it closed means for me to forget it. It is not supposed to be here, I told my friend. We then went to the liquor store and while I was getting Paula’s alcohol and getting the clerk to put the camphor in the bottle my friend went to a back room where he found some lottery tickets that were hanging on a string.</p>
<p>“What numbers are you looking for?” my friend called from the adjoining room. I said, “3-4-3 and 3-7-3.” He called back “I found 3-4-3.” I said. “You are kidding me, are you not?” My friend then answered, “<strong>Come and see</strong>.”</p>
<p>Sure enough, there were five segments of an active series numbered 3-4-3. A whole or complete, series contained 20 segments or units. Someone had already purchased the other 15 segments. My friend asked, “What do you intend to do now? Buy these, of course!” So I bought them. I had not thought of buying lottery tickets, but now I was buying 5 segments and would find out in 2 days if the number 3-4-3 would win anything.</p>
<h3>The Winning Lottery Ticket</h3>
<p>At the time I did not know that you could call the lottery agency by phone and find out if the ticket had won anything. I thought I had to go in person, which is what I did. I found out that the ticket 3-7-3 had been sold in Mexico City. It could not have been found anywhere else because the 3-7-3 was assigned to be sold in Mexico City only. If I had purchased the 3-7-3, I would clear, after paying the Mexican income tax, about one thousand dollars.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the 3-4-3 was assigned to be sold by the liquor store in Nuevo Laredo and nobody else in the whole Republic of Mexico could have had it. The 3-4-3 had a prize too and after paying the Mexican income tax and exchanging the Mexican Pesos into United States dollars, I cleared a little above ten thousand dollars with just my 5 segments out of the 20 on the ticket.</p>
<p><strong>I came home dazed, with $10,000 dollars in my pockets,</strong> and in 1949 that was a lot of cash!</p>
<p>[Editors Note: $10,000 in 1949 is roughly equal to $50,000 in today’s monetary value.]</p>
<p>In trying to figure out who had put that number in my head and why, <strong>went back over my experience step by step and found many coincidences</strong>. For example, Paula wanted a bottle of alcohol from Mexico and came over and asked me on that particular day. She had said, “Whenever you go to make a service call across the border, get me a bottle of alcohol.” I could have said, I will get you a bottle the next time I make a service call.” Or I could have said, “Send someone else, I don’t have time for those petty things.” Instead I said, “I will go tonight and get you a bottle, honey.” Paula did not know about my experience, much less did I know that she was sending me to the one place in the entire Republic of Mexico where the ticket was sold.</p>
<p>And <strong>what timing</strong>! If my friend had come only ten minutes later, I would have already been gone, by myself. If the clerk had not had to put camphor into the bottle, we would have been out of the store before my friend had a chance to look around and find the adjacent room with the lottery tickets. If my friend had not gone with me, I would not have gotten the idea of buying a lottery ticket, nor would I have walked into the other room and seen the tickets.</p>
<p>After backtracking and after going over every detail of the experience I found myself faced with many coincidences. I felt that those coincidences were trying to tell me something or that <strong>somebody was trying to tell me something through those coincidences</strong>. There were so many coincidences that I was sure there were a pattern and a purpose. I then felt that I must seek and find out what it was that I was supposed to do, or not to do.</p>
<p>I started going back prior to having the experience, hour by hour, step by step, seeking a clue. The only thing I saw that could have had a connection and could have brought on the series of coincidences was the decision I made not to continue studying psychology. Two hours after I had decided to discontinue to study psychology the experience took place and in the experience came the awareness of the “One Solitary Life” or Christ.</p>
<p>I then made the connection and remembered that the first impression I had about psychology came accompanied by the impression of the “One Solitary Life” of Christ. That happened when I finished talking with the psychiatrist at the reception center as I was inducted into the army. The next person in line gave me the picture of Christ that I still carry in my wallet to this day. On the back of the picture of Christ is written the “One Solitary Life” by an unknown author. I had not read the “One Solitary Life” of Christ before being inducted into the army and I do not know why when I finished reading it there were tears in my eyes. To this day, when I think about it, I get a lump in my throat.</p>
<p>With that realization I got on my knees and looked under the couch for the book on psychology, pulled it out, dusted it off and continued with the study-of-psychology routine. <strong>I choose to believe that the experience with the psychiatrist at the reception center, along with this awareness of Christ, was the beginning of my research into the human mind</strong>.</p>
<p>My many coincidences with the lottery ticket experience were a means of getting back on track and reinforcing the original reception center-psychiatrist-Christ awareness experience. From then on I started experimenting, trying to put together a method that would help to enhance what I used to call “the guessing faculty.” What I called “the guessing faculty” turned out to be psi, or the intuitive factor.</p>
</div>
<p>And so Jose Silva began the work that was to lead to Silva UltraMind System.</p>
<p>These same techniques could help you to achieve what you desire!</p>
<p>Silva would later develop a technique he called the Mental-Video technique, which anyone could use to gain similar types of coincidences and “a-ha” moments that Jose Silva experienced during the events mentioned above.</p>
<p>The technique is beyond the scope of this written course but it is covered in the <strong>astonishing Silva UltraMind System</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Total intuitive living is the Silva Method’s goal for each and every Silva student. This means that upon undergoing our training, every Silva student should be able to improve virtually all aspects of their life with high-level intuitive functioning.</p>
<p>Our experience shows that over 90% of Silva students experience an astonishing level of intuition after just two days of our intuition training.</p>
<p>These extremely high success rates are a result of over 5 decades of research and millions of dollars spent into perfecting the process of enhancing human intuition.</p>
<p>And after working with millions of Silva students from every possible age group and demographic, we can confidently state that our formula is one of the most optimized, tested and effective intuition solution you’ll ever find.</p>
<p>Here are just 5 of the proprietary techniques used in our intuition training:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Beyond The Alpha Level : Theta &amp; Delta Functioning</strong>You may have heard of the Alpha Level. This too was a technique pioneered by Jose Silva, and used by numerous mental awakening courses to guide users into a state of meditation.Similar to the Theta Level, the Alpha Level takes your brainwaves down to 7 – 14 cycles per second, and allows for enhanced creativity, relaxation, healing and intuition. Think of the Theta Level as an advanced version of the Alpha Level. Both states offer similar benefits, with Theta guiding you into a significantly higher level of consciousness. Further advanced techniques such as the Delta Doorway will teach you how to tap into higher guidance while at the ‘near-sleep’ Delta levels of mind.</li>
<li><strong>The Holo-Viewing Technique :</strong>Enhancing the Human Compass Many personal growth courses teach you how to achieve your goals—but they fall short of showing you whether your goals are actually in line with your higher purpose. Here’s the problem. Often we aim for goals that are not aligned with our life purpose. We bend to societal norms and often move away from the direction of our dreams.You can achieve any goal you want if – and ONLY if – the goal is aligned with your deeper purpose. When you’re aligned, roadblocks magically melt away and that’s when you start to find all manner of coincidences, chance encounters and sheer luck appearing to help you along your path.The problem is, we more than often go down the wrong path.
<p>At Silva, we tackle this shortcoming with a set of powerful mental techniques. Think of them as a compass and rocket. The “compass” helps you determine if you’re on the right path. When you’re on this path, the “rocket” helps you move rapidly towards the goal.</p>
<p>The first technique, the “compass”, is known as the Holo-Viewing Technique. When you do this exercise, your higher intelligence will automatically guide you towards your life purpose, and set you on a straight path towards goals that are in line with this purpose—just like a compass.</li>
<li><strong>The Mirror of the Mind Technique : Rocketing Towards Your Life Purpose </strong>The second component is the Mirror Of The Mind Technique. This Theta level exercise helps you carve a path towards the goals you have set, eliminating all obstacles in the way—and that’s why we call it the rocket.This is a powerful version of creative visualization, but done at deeper levels of mind and using all your senses. The right mental attitudes and belief systems are also critical and the course helps you develop these.With these 2 techniques, you will always know beyond a shadow of a doubt – whether it’s a career, relationship, lifestyle or health-related decision – that you’re on the right path and moving steadily towards your goals that are most aligned with your source.</li>
<li><strong>Infinite Healing &amp; Empathy With The 5-Step Projection Exercise Process </strong>Projection exercises are designed to train your mind to project your awareness across time and space, to different locations.Numerous benefits await when you master this ability—you’ll be able to visualize people, places, animals and objects with pinpoint clarity, solve even the trickiest of problems, and gain a deep understanding of your surroundings.Silva students are given 5 levels of Projection Exercises, each one more complex than the next.
<p>These levels involve projecting yourself into:
1. A familiar environment, such as your living room
2. Different types of metals
3. Plants
4. Animals
5. A human being</p>
<p>After completing the fifth Projection Exercise, you will be fully capable of what is known as distance healing—the ability to project your mind into another living being’s body – whether it’s a human, an animal or a plant -, detect and finally heal abnormalities within.</li>
<li><strong>Detect Abnormalities &amp; Heal Others From A Distance With Caseworking:</strong>Caseworking is the absolute pinnacle of a human being’s intuitive abilities, and it has been a part of the Silva program for over 4 decades.Silva students who practice Caseworking are able to accurately visualize, diagnose and heal other people—from a distance.This is by far the most astonishing technique presented in our workshops. Students who have never demonstrated any significant level of intuition find themselves able to describe other people – known as ‘targets’ – with pinpoint levels of accuracy.
<p>Here’s just one example. In one of our classes in Los Angeles, a participant who was given the name, age, gender and location of a target he had never met began to visualize an image in his head.</p>
<p>He said, “All I see is the Pillsbury Doughboy, but with a big cut on his stomach.”</p>
<p>The target in question was revealed to be suffering from obesity, and had just gone for liposuction. And yes, she did have a cut on her stomach, from where the fat had been removed.
At this point, it will be possible to use the previously mentioned distance healing to heal the target, who could be as far as thousands of miles away.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>How Long Does it Take and Can Anyone Do This?</strong></p>
<p>Because every person is born psychic but simply has these abilities shut down through our traditional schooling, upbringing and way of life, the process to re-ignite one’s intuitive sense is not long at all.</p>
<p>The Silva Intuition System live event is an 18 hour, 2 day class. Students are functioning intuitively by the end of Day 2. The Home Training Program can take a week to a month depending on how many modules you choose to listen to daily. In both cases, students are generally impressed by the speed at which they see results.</p>
<p>Can anyone do this? The short answer is no. Typically 90% of students will experience some degree of intuition in our live seminar. But 10% do not.</p>
<p>However the pattern we have noticed is that the people who do not experience it were often slightly skeptical spouses or friends dragged in by their partner who was enthusiastic about the program. Half the time, the skeptical participant would see results and become a believer. But in some cases the degree of resistance was so high that the participant would almost block themselves from seeing results. If you come in with a mindset that intuition is not real…your odds of experiencing it will be vastly lower.</p>
<p>But if you’ve read the latest scientific literature and understand that intuition is real and trainable and you’re willing to make the effort to learn, your odds of success are extremely high.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a story of a Silva student who, while in the Alpha level, practically came face-to-face with her guardian angels.</p>
<p>Her story really moved me and I hope it inspires you to find hope in your lives in more ways than one.</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>How I Met My Guardian Angels</h5>
<p style="text-align: left">&#8220;The next occurrence was about a month later. I had to take a friend to the airport and felt stressed over it. I love gotten lost twice in this large city and was cut off twice in traffic, which nearly caused an accident.</p>
<p>I sat on my recliner waiting for the call to pick up my friend. It felt like the hair on my left arm was moving. There was no logical reason for this. All windows and doors were closed. There was no fan or AC on. I counted down from 3 to my alpha level and then it happened.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">I saw shadows, which to me these shadows were my angels that moved from my left side to the back of me. I was very moved by this revelation and to this day it still effects me. I counted from 1 to 5 and came back to the beta level.</p>
<p>My friend called and I drove him to the airport with confidence knowing that my angels were there to protect me. The following week when I picked him up I had no fear of driving to the big city. Jose Silva UltraMind is now a part of my life. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><em>~ Diane D., Massachusetts</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Hope this story brightened your day, like it did mine!</p>
<p>Better and Better,</p>

<p>Well in case <em>you</em> ever come across skeptics, here&#8217;s a report that could help you. It was written by<strong> James Crenshaw for FATE Magazine in 1976</strong> and<em> really</em> goes into the details of how science has given credibility to <strong>psychic healing</strong>.</p>
<p>The really interesting part of this article would have to be when Crenshaw describes in <em>detail</em> the number of experiments that were conducted on inanimate matter, even plants, as well as all other tools used and the actual results of the experiments.</p>
