Transform yourself NOW!

This is a wonderful tool that should not be dismissed. It really teaches you to dive a little deeper into your fears, or characteristics you may wish to change. It allows you to heal those thoughts that are not supportive. It's a very powerful yet simple way of looking at things. Not everyone is going to get this, many are stuck in old patterns and refuse to liberate themselves...anyway, take what you can at least you will find one or two things of greatness from this book or cassette. I have the cassette which is great it has help though some amazing shifts. Going into Alpha and supressing on your subconscious is beyond powerful...its like writing a new script for your life and seeing the changes in a very short time. Say you have unhealthy addictions, or you are always doubtful of the things you want or can do, maybe you are afraid to fly, or talk in front of a group, or you procrastinate, maybe you want to loose weight but cant seem to get the will power, Or maybe you have learned something and want it to stick. Things like that can be shifted through you if you apply this principle. Forget the 15year olds who are reviewing this...I was 12 when I first read Jose Silvia's books, (thanks to my mother) I loved it then and rediscovering this one now is perfect and greatly appreciated.

A response to those who think this is a 'cult'

Psychosymatic - "psycho refers to mind and somatic refers to body; the term psychosomatic means the mind making the body ill or illnesses which have been created physically within the body by derangement of the mind." I got this of a google define:__ search. This is a similar definition from my psych book. Any rational educated person knows what this means and is incapable of refuting. So why would you believe that the Silva Method is impossible, yet a cult? Isn't a religion a form of a cult? Go ahead and look up the word cult and religion. They are synonymous. The word cult just has bad connotations. This method isn't trying to make you a God, it's trying to help remove a cloud of ignorance and help you 'see' what is there. If you want to take it to a religious note, to help you have faith in yourself like He does. (Please do not take offense to my use of the word ignorance. I simply mean it as it's definition of having a lack of knowledge in an area in question, like "I'm ignorant of the theories of astrophysics.") I read The Silva Mind Control Method (the blue book). And initially I was scared that it would start putting God, and Christ into things. Which it didn't, nor did it say anything about how I should believe in A God and so on. It basically stated what we know through science and experimentation and how we can use it to better ourselves. That we are capable of making ourselves sick just by thinking about it. Ex: "Oh my, if i see/hear/smell etc, that's gonna make me sick" We've all said it at some point and we all know it's happened. (Happiness and pleasure are the same, sex alone is ~90% in the brain.) He simply took what is known about our brains and took it to a different level. I appreciated the objectivity of the Method. He respects that everyone has a belief system of their own (or lack of) but that one thing is true in all of us. We all have a brain that is capable of doing amazing things to us, whether it's emotional, psychological, or physical. So why not use it to help us be healthier and happier with ourselves? If not for our own sake then at least for those people around us who care and love us. Either way you can't loose. (But if you think you lost some money, just think of how many times you bought bad food. At least you gained some knowledge/experience) In response to the reviewer, Olga Loaiza, who said she respected people like Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi and Jesus Christ because they helped people and had the strong desire to do so. That the Silva Method is trying to make us, very much unlike them, a bunch of self serving and superficial demigods. I don't know what part of the book has that since most of what I read dealt with using our (once mastered) capabilities not just for ourselves but to help others (like 70% of the method was on that alone). My question to you is this: What if Luther, Gandhi, and Christ made a different choice because they didn't understand something, or didn't 'see' it?

Understanding the Silva Mind Control Method

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.

Once someone apply's the methods of Silva Mind Control they become a better person to themself and to the world. One problem those of religion have with Jose Silva's method is they dont know it. If they had taken the time to research their own religious faith they might have found that the two have more in common than they thought they had not.The Silva Method put you in control, and in the present state of the world today that is important. as Christ said "the Kingdom of Heaven is found from within" so does Jose Silva. We all are in control when from with in. Jose Silva will be missed for he left this world a little better than it was before he was here. Jose Silva's method has kept cancer from spreading in me for more than 7 years applying the 3 to 1 method and mental labratory. It is the best method I have found that can be used to control ones physical state by the application of mind control. This method is the true lost form of praying were feelings and positive image's make this world better and better and better and this is so. Thanks Jose.

It'll make you analize and make your life a better one!!!

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.
