The Silva Mind Control Method on Superphysics

Introduction

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You are now setting out on one of the most transforming adventures of your life. Each result you achieve will change your view of yourself and of the world you were born into.

Mind Control in Schools

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

In most schools where Mind Control is taught, teachers are urged to take it too for the benefits such as the teachers become less flappable, more patient, and far easier for students to spend time with.

Using More Of Your Mind In Special Ways

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Imagine coming into direct, working contact with an all-pervading higher intelligence and learning in a moment of numinous joy that it is on your side.

Imagine too that you made this contact in such simple ways that for the rest of your life you need never again feel helplessly out of touch with something you always suspected was there but could never quite reach—a helpful wisdom, a fash of insight when you need it, the feeling of a loving, powerful presence.

Meet Jose

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Jose Silva was born August 11,1914, in Laredo, Texas.

When he was four, his father died. His mother soon remarried, and he, his older sister, and younger brother moved in with their grandmother.

How To Meditate

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I am going to help you learn to meditate.

Dynamic Meditation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The passive meditation you have just read about (and I hope are about to experience) can be accomplished in other ways.

Instead of concentrating on a visual image, you can concentrate on a sound, such as OM or O N E or A M E N , uttered aloud or mentally, or the feeling of your breathing.

Improving Memory

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The memory techniques taught in Mind Control can reduce our use of telephone directories and tremendously impress our friends.

But if I want a telephone number, I look it up. Perhaps some Mind Control graduates do use their skills for remembering telephone numbers but, as I said in the previous chapter, desire is important in making things work, and my desire to remember phone numbers is something less than spirited. If I had to cross town every time I needed a telephone number, my desire would perk up.

Speed Learning

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When you learn the memory techniques in the last chapter you will be well on your way to our next step, Speed Learning.

Briefly, this is how you will progress: You will learn to enter the meditative level; then, at that level, to create a mental screen, which is useful for various purposes, one of which is to recall information.

Creative Sleep

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

How free we are when we dream!

The barriers of time, the limitations of space, the laws of logic, the constraints of conscience are all swept away and we are gods of our own fleeting creations. Because what we create is uniquely ours, Freud placed central importance on our dreams. Understand a man’s dreams, he seemed to say, and you understand the man.

Your Words Have Power

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Introduction suggested that you not practice any of the exercises on first reading.

The following is an exception; try it right now. Bring all of your imagination to bear on it Let’s consider the implications of this.

The Power Of Imagination

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Willpower needs an enemy to overcome before it reaches its goal.

It tries to be tough and, like most toughies, it becomes a cream puff when the going gets rocky. There is a gentler, easier way to shuck bad habits—imagination. Imagination seizes directly on the goal; it gets what it wants.

Using Your Mind To Improve Your Health

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I spend about half my time traveling around this and other nations to address groups of Mind Control grad- uates. In the course of a year I meet not hundreds but many thousands who report truly wonderful self-heal- ings. These are now commonplace to me;

An Intimate Exercise For Lovers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

In her address before the Mind Control group, Mrs. Simonton spoke of the many stresses in life which, if not handled properly, can lead to illness.

“It is so uncommon in our patients for them to have a good marriage,” she said. “When there is a good marriage wkh a cancer patient, it is one of the greatest things we have to work with, one of the greatest reasons for them to stay alive.”

You Can Practice ESP

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Is ESP real?

Today virtually all informed people agree that it is.

It has been proved to the last decimal point of probability statistics that information is available to us through something other than the five senses.

Form Your Own Practice Group

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I want you to develop your mental abilities as we do in Mind Control classes.

It will take steady, prolonged, but pleasant application.

So far, the exercises I have given you can be practiced alone. In a month or two, when you become proficient, you will be ready for the case work just described. At that point you will need help from others, under carefully controlled conditions. Here is what to do:

Psychic Healing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Detecting illnesses in persons you have never seen is astonishing enough. But we never let it go at that Into the bodies where we project our awareness we also project healing.

Some Speculations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Chapters 3 to 15 were designed, like the Mind Control course, to help you use more of your mind in special ways to solve the problems that beset every human life.

A Checklist

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Once you have mastered all the techniques I have outlined"—if you are like most Mind Control graduates—you may use a few that work best for you and let the others slip.

A Psychiatrist Works With Mind Control

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Very deep levels of consciousness are involved in Mind Control.

Are there any dangers in it?

Your Self-esteem Will Soar

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

We waste too much of our time dragging ourselves under. If we spent 1/2 of it just researching in our mind how to deal with life, we’d find we’re so much stronger than we think

Mind Control In The Business World

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Imagine believing in Murphy’s Law—“If anything can go wrong, it will, and at the worst possible time”—then suddenly discovering that there is no such law but, instead, the cosmic Bill of Rights that Jose wrote about You feel luckier because you are luckier.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Your first accomplishment with Mind Control will launch you on an odyssey of self-discovery.

When you have made everything work for you, several paths for future development will be opened.

SILVA MIND CONTROL AND THE PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

In November 1970 we attended a Silva Mind Control class in Philadelphia because we were curious about some of their claims. As the course progressed, it became apparent to us there were three persons who were definitely emo- tionally disturbed and a fourth whose stability was in question. What was the reason? Did the course precipitate emotional illness? Had they been ill when they arrived?

The Mind Control Course And The Organization Behind It

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Mind Control movement is so widespread and fast-growing.

INTRODUCTION

J. W. Hahn, Ph.D., Director of Research Silva Mind Control International

Until recently, scientists have been extremely critical of reports claiming that Yogis have learned to deliberately regulate their heartbeat, body temperature, and other internal body processes normally considered to be of an in- voluntary nature. Largely ignored also were reports that some subjects in deep states of hypnosis (an altered state of consciousness) could by suggestion be made to effect changes of a physiological nature normally considered not to be under voluntary control: for example, the raising of blisters and control of heart rate. With the introduction of (bio) feedback techniques, the scientist has come to recognize during the last several years that almost any internal body process can be brought under control.
