4.0 out of 5 stars silva method is great!, September 28, 2001

This review is from: Silva Mind Control Method Of Mental Dynamics (Audio Cassette)

I was horrified to see the negative reviews of this book. I took the Silva Mind Control course, and, I must say, I believe that it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Now free of unhealthy stress and negative limiting belief systems, I am freed up to contribute to my loved ones rather than drag them down. Have you ever had a flash of intuition, a dream which came to pass in reality; perhaps you thought of a person and then two seconds later, you receive a call from them? These little synchronicities, or coincidences, as you might call them, are very common. We all have this ability. The Silva Method is simply a way to learn to trust your intuition so that you can use it to solve problems. What kind of problems? Any kind-because you will use your mind to solve any problem you have, and the Silva Method is mind development. How is it developed? straightforward relaxation, visualization, imagination, and autosuggestion(affirmations). Sorry, no demons and devils are invoked! This is strictly positive stuff! There are a few Silva Method clubs where people meet to meditate together and share ideas, but that's as close as it comes to becoming a cult. I have never been coerced by Silva people-everything is voluntary, and no pressure is applied. Mind Control refers to your ability to control your own brain wave frequencies, and then to use exercises in visualisation and imagination to solve problems. Jose Silva discovered, through empirical analysis, that the alpha brain wave frequency range was the most beneficial one to access, because it is conducive to better relaxation, concentration, recall, genius mentality, and, believe it or not, detecting information at a distance with only the use of your mind. Yes, that's right, you can do it, and quite easily. I realize that statement sounds more like science fiction than science, but science backs up this amazing idea. Even before Jose Silva came along, scientists who studied psychic ability never disputed its reality. Psychic ability is real, and it can be taught-like playing the violin or baseball, the more you practice the better you will get. You may develop 80% accuracy in psychic detection if you practice frequently-few have gotten any better. We know it's o.k. to be imperfect, however. That 80% goes a long way towards solving problems and making the world a better place. Silva practicioners are normal people with positive attitudes. I am eternally grateful to God for granting a troubled young man a method by which he transformed his life from a mess into a beautiful success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding the Silva Mind Control Method, December 9, 2002

Anyone who calls Silva Mind Control a cult or implies that the use of these methods is placing oneself above God doesn't understand what they read. Silva Mind Control is a method of Dynamic Meditation and Creative Visualization. It is what Norman Vincent Peale was referring to when he wrote The Power of Positive Thinking. It is what every Olympic and professional athlete, every successful individual does. It is the first step on the road to greatness. There have been countless books written about creative visualization. None of them are as concise in teaching you how to do it as Silva Mind Control. Scientists acknowledge that we only use approximately 5% of our mind. The other 95% lies domant. Silva Mind Control teaches you to use the dormant part of your mind. It teaches you to create your future, rather than be a passive observer. It teaches you to take responsiblity for how your thoughts create your life instead of mistakenly thinking that life happens to you. Positive thoughts attract positive events. Negative thoughts attract negative events. The name Silva Mond Control tells you what it does. It teaches you to control YOUR mind and YOUR life. Silva Mind Control is also a form of behavior modification, replacing negative thoughts and feelings with positive thoughts and feelings. Healthy people never worry about being sick. Rich people never worry about being poor. Sick and poor people always do. You give power to whatever your mind focuses on. If you always worry about being sick, you will make yourself ill. If you know you are healthy, you will be. Every successful person is a visonary, with the abilty to see the future as they want it to be and the faith to make it happen. One of my ex High School students is an academy award winning actress. There was never any doubt in my mind that she would be, because there was never any doubt in hers. Warning: Silva Mind Control is only for individuals who have the desire to change their lives, the courage to make their dreams come true and the commitment to to make it happen.

The book had been laying around the house for a long time and one day I was feeling down and started reading it. It made me value my life more and helped me accept the things that come my way. It has helped me solve problems and it's helping me in my relationships. It's a great book that will definately make you analyze yourself and will help you live at ease.
