Words have meanings Through the years, people have suggested changes that they think are beneficial but would actually remove some of the very things that they came to the course to learn. For instance, some said that they didn’t “feel” a “fine vibration, a tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth caused by circulation” when they did the physical relaxation portion of the Silva Centering Exercise. So they suggested that we change it to: “You may detect a fine vibration...” etc. Changing the word “will” to “may” would create an obvious problem: You are no longer required to do anything. “Will” is a verb, an action word. Jose Silva was never one to wait and see if something good might come along - he took action to do whatever he could to solve problems and improve living conditions on the planet. Mind guides brain and brain guides body If you are like most of us, you took the course to learn how to use your mind to cause an effect in your body. That is what we want you to do when we say “You will...” We don’t wait to see if something may or may not happen. We cause things to happen. We use the mind to cause an effect in the physical body. “Feel” is physical - you feel with your body. “Detect” is mental - you detect with your mind. You “will” use your mind to cause your brain to “detect” (mentally) a fine vibration, a tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth. This is a mental or emotional “feeling.” As you continue to practice, your brain will cause your body to “feel” a physical sensation. That is how your mind affects your body. That is just the beginning. The Silva Centering Exercise has so many words and phrases that Jose Silva selected and crafted so carefully over 22 years of scientific research, why would anybody want to change them without conducting their own scientific research and carefully measuring the results. Some people refer to those changes as BS - Beta Stuff. The “modernized” language may sound good at the beta “outer conscious” level, but this is an “alpha” course, and the conditioning cycles are read to you at the alpha level. Jose Silva selected words and phrases for what they will do for you at the alpha brain wave level. It reminds me of the mechanic who used to tune up my car. He would work extra hard to adjust the valves so that they wouldn’t make any nose. But every 50,000 miles or so the valves would burn and I’d have to replace all the valves. That is what happens when you set them too tight. When I switched to another mechanic, the valves clattered a little bit and didn’t sound as good – but the engine worked properly. That is what happens when people make changes and create courses that sound good from the outside, but don’t work correctly at the inner conscious level. The modernized wording might sound great at beta, but the formulas don’t work as well at alpha, where they are intended to work. They say that cooking is an art, and baking is a science. The lectures that Silva Instructors present to explain the material – at beta – is an art. Instructors can be creative and find the best way to express themselves. The conditioning cycles are like baking. They are all based on science – 22 years of scientific research that Jose Silva conducted. If you start changing the ingredients and the way you assemble them, people aren’t going to like your cake. Everything we present in the Silva UltraMind ESP System is Jose Silva’s work - he authored it himself. Like somebody once told us, “If it works, don’t fix it.” Programming to solve problems Just using the alpha sound or theta sound to help you find the alpha level is only a start. Prior to Jose Silva's 22 years of scientific research, there was no way to teach a person go lower their brain frequency to alpha... without going to sleep... and then activate their mind while remaining at alpha. That is necessary in order to do any effective mental programming. You need to remain at alpha to have effective "mental rehearsal" or program for your project’s success. If your brain frequency goes back to beta when you start your programming, then you might as well not bother going to alpha to begin with. Scientists were so sure that “beta blocking” couldn't be overcome, that when Jose Silva took some of his students into their laboratories, they were so impressed that they wrote it up and it was published in a medical journal. That's the highest compliment - for your research to be peer-reviewed and published. You can read the report here. Some people claim that the "subconscious" is the key to solving problems, so they tell you to repeat "affirmations" that will somehow go into the subconscious. How can they be subconscious if you are conscious that you are saying them? So-called "subliminal" recordings would have to defy the laws of physics, in order to be influenced by audio that you cannot hear. Developing ESP Once you gain conscious access to the inner conscious level, then you can go through a few simple “mental projection” drills to detect subjective - “psychic” - information that you have been collecting all your life and impressing on your right-brain hemisphere, and and become consciously aware of it. Once you open up this channel in your own brain, then you can project your mind consciously any time you need to and detect information anywhere that information exists, if you need it in order to solve a problem and improve living conditions on the planet. Jose Silva's system works. It has been proven in scientific labs and by numerous studies and by millions of people around the world who have benefited from it during the last 48 years. There is no alternative that can provide what Jose Silva’s research provides, because there was only one Jose Silva.

Better than Jose Silva? Q: Aren’t there a lot of new programs available that advance and improve on Jose Silva’s work? A: It sure looks like it, when you read their slick advertising. But remember that the Silva UltraMind ESP System was the last course that Jose Silva made. Some of those new programs do a great job of guiding you to relax and mellow-out. Your brain waves might even lower to the alpha rhythm if you remain passive and don’t try to analyze information or solve a problem. It all sounds great at the beta brain wave frequencies. But finding the alpha level and learning to think deductively - to analyze information and solve problems - while remaining at alpha - is something you learn by doing specific mental exercises - "mental calisthenics" is what Jose Silva called them. There is no machine that can do it for you, no magic words you can listen to that will somehow infiltrate our subconscious and make it happen like some sort of magic. You need to exercise your mind with the conditioning cycles that Jose Silva authored after conducting 22 years of scientific research. Two greatest discoveries Jose Silva made 2 of the greatest discoveries in the history of humanity: 1. A method to help people learn to use the sub- conscious consciously 2. A system to actually develop and use your natural God-given ESP reliably and regularly Converting the sub-conscious to an inner conscious level Prior to his work, scientists were sure it couldn't be done. And it couldn't - until Jose Silva discovered the way to do it. You can read the scientific report about Jose Silva’s work, written by scientists at Trinity University and published in a medical journal. At the time - 1972 - scientists were convinced that “beta blocking” would cause your brain to return to beta if you tried to think deductively. That is why they were so impressed with Jose Silva’s research. His discovery gives us conscious access to the sub-conscious mind. We can use the subconscious consciously. That means that the subconscious is no longer sub- beneath - consciousness. So he coined a new term: Inner Conscious Level. Thanks to Jose Silva, you now have direct access to what was formerly the subconscious level so that you can correct old negative past programming and limiting belief systems. Why is this System so successful? Claims from people who say that they have found some other way to do it just aren't credible. That's why they come up with some "great new product" every week: None of them work! If any one of their products worked, that would be the last one you would need, and they couldn’t sell you anything else. Jose Silva's work has been tested, proven, and accepted for more than 50 years. Nothing else can match that. Why has it been so successful? Because of his unique perspective and his natural genius. He invested 22 years in scientific research - all at his own expense. It cost him $500,000 - and that is not adjusted for inflation. His unique background gave him the tools that he needed to see what nobody else could see: • At the age of 6 this orphan boy went to work, and discovered that the more service he gave, the more money he would earn. • He learned electronics repair at the age of 14 and learned how electronic circuits work, and which ones are the most efficient. • He was introduced to psychology when he was 30 years of age, and he learned the science of human behavior. • His study of psychology led him to hypnosis and this showed him some of the amazing things the human mind could do. • The electroencephalograph (EEG) gave him a way to look inside people’s heads to see how the brain processes data. His years of experience in electronics helped him understand which parts of the brain were the most efficient. • His study of music gave him insight into how frequencies were grouped into octaves, and how harmonics were produced. All of these factors combined to lead him to discover how to actually convert the sub-conscious into an inner conscious level of mind. A half million dollar gift Jose Silva said that the most valuable thing to come from his scientific research was finding the way to convert the sub-conscious into an inner conscious level. • This is where you make stronger impressions of information on your brain. • This is where you can change old negative programming and belief systems that could be holding you back from the success you know that you are capable of. • This is where you need to function in order to develop and learn to use your natural God-given intuition. It doesn’t happen just by relaxing or by listening to the “Alpha Sound” or the “Theta Sound” or soothing music or ocean waves. It happens because Jose Silva spent 22 years learning the exact words to use to guide us to the alpha brain wave level and then become mentally active without returning to the faster beta brain wave level like people did with every other system Words have meanings Through the years, people have suggested changes that they think are beneficial but would actually remove some of the very things that they came to the course to learn. For instance, some said that they didn’t “feel” a “fine vibration, a tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth caused by circulation” when they did the physical relaxation portion of the Silva Centering Exercise.
