Welcome to Lesson 1 - Silva UltraMind Online Course
Living Your Alpha Life
Introduction
What's Your True Potential?
W
elcome to the first chapter of our nine-part multimedia e-book on understanding and using the power of your mind to create a better, happier, more fulfilling life.Let's begin with a question.
Imagine how you would feel if you had it all... • the business fulfillment,
• the loving relationships, • vibrant health,
• creative expression, • abundant friendships, • a skyrocketing career.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Look at your life - do you have what you really, really want?
Or are you settling - have you given up on creating the ideal life you once dreamed of? Nobody has to live a life that is ordinary - yet most people do.
By doing so they miss out on their true potential.
The Silva UltraMind System is about discovering your purpose in life and using your creative energies to fulfill this purpose. A life built around a greater purpose is a life that is truly fulfilling and exciting.
A Road Map to Success
Different people have different definitions of success. For you, success could be:
• starting a loving family • writing a book
• owning a beautiful 3-bedroom home in the country • running a marathon
• spending 2 years abroad with the Peace Corps • earning your first one million dollars
• recovering from a life-threatening illness
No matter what your definition is, it's important to dream big and set a goal of what you're seeking to accomplish.
Once you know what you want, the next step is to manifest it into your life. This is what this training program is all about.
Let's begin the lessons now. What You'll Learn
This e-book will take you through nine guided lessons involving the written word and audio recordings.
You will learn to reach deep levels of mind using advanced audio exercises developed by Jose Silva. While at these levels of mind we will teach you various techniques you can use to empower yourself and move you toward your purpose and goals.
Here's what you will learn over the next few days:
• How to reach deep levels of meditation with supreme ease. • How to use affirmations to create immediate attitude shifts. • How to accelerate healing and achieve vibrant health.
• How to develop your intuition.
• The art of creative visualization to manifest dreams. • How to create a life plan.
• The art of goal setting and thinking big.
This program was developed with the purpose of reminding you of the latent powers that lie within you; and inspiring you to begin to use them.
I use the word remind because if you found this program you're probably aware of these abilities. But like most people, you have waited - procrastinated in learning to use them. You will receive nine lessons over the next few weeks. A new lesson will be sent to you every few days. Each lesson will contain an explanation of a new technique.
By breaking this program into several fragments and spreading them out over a few weeks we allow you to retain and understand the material presented better.
This program will show you how to tap into your latent mental abilities using not just written text but also specialized audio recordings developed by Jose Silva. These recordings are designed to guide you into a state of deep, focused meditation.
During this meditation you will be wide awake but your body will be asleep. Your subconscious mind will be brought to the conscious level and you will be in full control over your mental abilities and thoughts.
You can use this time to program your mind to accomplish anything you desire. This is the Silva UltraMind System.
The Multi-Purpose Mind
Before we begin, let's take a glimpse at what the mind is really capable of accomplishing. A well known figure once said:
The greatest discovery of the 19th century was not in the realm of the physical sciences, but the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith. Any individual
can tap into an eternal reservoir of power that will enable them to overcome any problem that may arise. All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is
the superstructure of happiness.
These words were said not by a guru on a mountaintop, nor a self-improvement writer, but by William James, the Harvard psychologist known as the Father of American Psychology. To the untrained mind, William James's statement may seem far-fetched, but modern discoveries are finding his words to be true.
Let's look at some examples of what happens when this "eternal reservoir of power" is harnessed properly.
Case #1 - Using the Mind in Sports
Dr. Charles Garfield, former NASA researcher and current president of The Performance-Science Institute in Berkeley, California, talks about a startling experiment conducted by Soviet sports scientists.
The study examined the effect of mental training, including visualization, on four groups of world-class athletes just prior to the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The four groups of elite athletes were divided as follows:
• Group 2: did 75% physical training, 25% mental training. • Group 3: did 50% physical training, 50% mental training. • Group 4: did 25% physical training, 75% mental training.
What the researchers found was that group 4 - the group with the most mental training - had shown significantly greater improvement than group 3.
Likewise, group 3 showed more improvement than group 2, and group 2 showed more improvement than group 1.
The results were astonishing. Who would expect that athletes training mentally would be able to advance further than their counterparts who were training physically?
Garfield said, "During mental rehearsal, athletes create mental images of the exact
movements they want to emulate in their sport. Use of this skill substantially increases the effectiveness of goal-setting, which up until then had been little more than a dull listing procedure."
If mental exercises and visualization could
have such a profound impact on athletes, what kind of impact could it have on you? Can you use the same principle to improve your attitudes, confidence and skills? Could it impact your learning ability; your golf swing; your ability to shed weight and stick to a diet? The answer is yes.
We will explore these topics in a later chapter and show you visualization techniques you can use to improve the quality of your life.
Case #2 - Miraculous Healing
The following story will challenge your idea of just how much your mind influences your body.
In 1950, a new drug called Krebiozen had received sensational national publicity as a "cure" for cancer and was being tested by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of the researchers involved in this testing was a doctor named Bruno Klopfer.
One of Dr. Klopfer's patients, Mr. Wright, was suffering from cancer of the lymph nodes. All standard treatments had been exhausted, and Wright appeared to have little time left. His neck, armpits, chest, abdomen, and groin were filled with tumors the size of oranges, and his spleen and liver were so enlarged that two quarts of milky fluid had to be drained out of his body each day.
When Wright discovered that Dr. Klopfer was involved in research on Krebiozen, he begged to be given Krebiozen treatments. At first his doctor refused because the drug was untested
and only being tried on people with a life expectancy of at least three months. Wright begged so hard, however, that Klopfer decided to give him one injection on Friday, though he secretly suspected Wright would not last the weekend.
Dr. Klopfer was in for a big surprise.
On the following Monday, Klopfer found Wright out of bed and walking around. Klopfer reported that his tumors had "melted like snowballs on a hot stove" and were half their original size. This was a far more rapid decrease in size than even the strongest X-ray treatments could have accomplished.
Ten days after Wright's first Krebiozen treatment, he left the hospital, and as far as his doctors could tell, with no signs of cancer. When he entered the hospital, he had needed an oxygen mask to breathe, but when he left he was well enough to fly his own plane at 12,000 feet with no discomfort.
Wright remained well for about two months, but then articles began to appear asserting that Krebiozen actually had no effect on cancer of the lymph nodes. Wright, who was rigidly logical and scientific in his thinking, became very depressed, suffered a relapse, and was readmitted to the hospital. This time his physician decided to try an experiment.
Dr. Klopfer told Wright that Krebiozen was every bit as effective as it had seemed, but that some of the initial supplies of the drug had deteriorated during shipping. He explained, however, that he had a new highly-concentrated version of the drug and could treat Wright with this. Of course, the physician did not have a new version of the drug and intended to inject Wright with nothing more than plain sterile water.
Again the results were dramatic. Tumor masses melted, chest fluid vanished, and Wright was quickly back on his feet and feeling great. Yet he had been injected with
nothing more than sterile water.
Wright remained symptom-free for another two months, but then the American Medical Association announced that a nationwide study of Krebiozen had found the drug worthless in the treatment of cancer. This time Wright's faith was completely shattered. His cancer
blossomed anew and he died two days later.
Wright's story is tragic, but it contains a powerful message: When we are fortunate enough to bypass our disbelief and tap the healing forces within us, we can cause tumors to melt away overnight.
The patient's mind alone, independent of the value of the medication, produced his recovery.
This event proves that your mind is so powerful that it can literally bring wonderful or tragic events to bear within days. Most people do not learn how to tap into and control this
Many people do have their minds working for them, but in negative ways. Doctors call this psychosomatic illness - an illness caused by a person's negative belief system.
In this course we will teach you how to create positive belief systems and how you can use visualization to accelerate your body's rate of healing and recovery.
Case #3 - Creating Positive Coincidences
It is an undisputed fact that the mind can influence the physical body but can the mind influence the world beyond your body?
In other words, can the mind create coincidences and influence reality?
People all around the world have experienced this in their own lives and will say that the answer is yes - your world can be shaped by your thoughts and beliefs.
The following story describes one such incident - how one man discovered the power of his mind in creating coincidences. He went on to use this ability to become so successful that his work is almost a household name in America.
For the purpose of this story, let's call this man Scott. His full name will not be revealed until the end to make this story more intriguing. This story was told in a book Scott wrote in 1998.
In the early 1980s, Scott had heard of a process called affirmations from a friend. The process he learned was simple.
Visualize what you want and write it down fifteen times in a row, once a day, until you obtain it.
Scott was told that the process did not require any faith or positive thinking for it to work. Even more interesting was the suggestion that the technique would influence the
environment directly and not just make you more focused on your goals. In other words, it would spawn amazing coincidences to move you toward your goals. The coincidences could be things that were seemingly unconnected to you and beyond your control.
Scott was very left-brained and logical in his thinking. He had his doubts about the process but figured that there was no harm in trying.
"Within a few weeks, coincidences started to happen to me." wrote Scott.
"Amazing coincidences, strings of them. I won't mention the specific goal I was working on, as it was a private matter, but within a few months the goal was accomplished exactly as I had written it."
But Scott was not yet convinced that affirmations helped. Coincidences do happen on their own and Scott considered the test inconclusive.
So Scott picked another goal - to make some gains in the stockmarket. He wrote his
affirmation down every day and waited for some inspiration. It came to him in a dream. He woke up one night with the words "Buy Chrysler" repeating in his head.
He bought shares in the inspired company during one of its most bleak periods yet it began to rise soon after and he made some good returns on it. He repeated the experiment again and managed to pick another successful company, with stock symbol "Ask".
Armed with this confidence in the power of affirmations Scott decided to apply it to a more challenging goal - getting into the highly competitive University of California at Berkeley MBA program.
The problem was that he had already taken the entrance exam, the G.M.A.T, and only hit the 77th percentile score. He knew he needed to be above the 90th percentile to at least have a chance of being accepted.
Scott picked the outlandish target of 94 as his goal and again applied the affirmation technique.
Despite not being able to go much higher than the 77th percentile in the practice exams Scott was surprised to learn that he did indeed hit the 94th percentile for the G.M.A.T - just as he had written in his affirmations. He graduated with his Berkeley MBA in 1986.
A few years later he tried pursuing a more serious goal, that of being a syndicated cartoonist. He knew the odds of his cartoon submission being accepted by a major newspaper were roughly 1 in 10,000.
He beat those odds and his cartoon was accepted. He was soon earning a decent living with his cartoon strip but he wanted to achieve something bigger.
He decided he wanted the most successful comic strip on the planet. Scott felt that the best measure of "most successful" would be number of books sold.
In June 1996 his book The Dilbert Principle hit the number-one spot on the hardcover nonfiction list of the New York Times. It stayed in the top three all summer. In November his second book, Dogbert's TopSecret Management Handbook, also made the bestseller list, giving Scott the number-one and number-two positions simultaneously for one week. For that brief period of time, Scott indeed had the "most successful" comic strip on the planet. As you may have guessed, the person I'm talking about is Scott Adams, the creator of the highly successful Dilbert comic strip. Scott writes about these experiences with affirmations in his book The Dilbert Future. He does not profess to know why it works but leaves the conclusion to the reader. You can buy Scott Adams' hilarious Dilbert books at any bookstore.
Reporters often ask me if I am surprised at the success of the Dilbert comic strip. I definitely would be so, if not for my bizarre experience with affirmations. As it
was, I expected it.
~Scott Adams, The Dilbert Future
Scott Adams' experience with affirmations makes one wonder - is luck within our control?
We will explore the process of affirmations in chapter 4 of this e-book and we will look at some basic techniques you can use to manifest your goals.

Guide to Practicing the Silva Centering Exercise
Part 1: Understanding Meditation
Meditation is fast gaining recognition worldwide. In America, 10 million people now claim to meditate daily and this number is rapidly growing.
Why? Because it works and more and more doctors are recommending it.
The following news headlines taken from 2003 help explain the sudden interest in meditation.
From the Washington Times - Aug 14, 2003
A new study shows [that] people who underwent meditation training produced more antibodies to a flu vaccine than people who did not meditate. Those who took part in the
meditation study also showed signs of increased activity in areas of the brain related to positive emotion, as compared to people who did not meditate.
CBS News - Aug 27, 2003
People who meditate these days come from all walks of life and aren't necessarily weird New Agers or pretentious actors. Students, lawyers, West Point cadets, athletes, prisoners, and government officials all meditate. It's supposed to help depression, control pain, increase longevity, slow down cancers, invigorate the immune system, and significantly reduce blood pressure. Time magazine recently reported that "meditation can sometimes be used to replace Viagra."
Time Magazine - Aug 4, 2003
Not only do studies show that meditation is boosting their immune system, but brain scans suggest that it may be rewiring
their brains to reduce stress. It's recommended by more and more physicians as a way to prevent, slow or at least control the
pain of chronic diseases like heart conditions, AIDS, cancer and infertility.
As you read, meditation provides many benefits even when done by a beginner.
The Two Types of Meditation: Passive and Active
When we meditate several important things happen physically and mentally. First, we are "focusing internally" and letting go of the outside world (similar to going to sleep, but without losing consciousness).
This allows our brains to shift into more stable, stronger brain frequencies (called alpha and theta by scientists) normally reached during sleep.
When we can reduce our brain frequencies to these levels while staying awake we are able to bring the unconscious mind to the conscious level. This allows us to control and harness the power of the unconscious mind.
There are two types of meditation. Passive Meditation
All meditation systems, such as Yoga, Zen, Transcendental Meditation (TM), Silva UltraMind and others have similar benefits.
By "passively" letting go and going within, we "deactivate" our survival mechanisms and allow our body's natural health and rejuvenation abilities to be activated.
Each method has its own way of reaching the inner state of mind, and each has its own goals.
Active Meditation
Jose Silva's techniques allow you to use the relaxed, healthy state of mind that occurs during meditation to solve your day-to-day problems.
Silva found that by "actively" utilizing brain languages (kinesthetic, visual, and auditory thought processes), we can use this higher energy state to improve memory and learning skills, change unwanted habits, enhance health, and healing.
He also developed techniques to achieve what many people call "tapping the super-conscious" to solve problems, reach goals, come up with new ideas and solutions to
problems. Some students use the Silva UltraMind System to enhance their spiritual growth. Using such techniques within a meditative state is called "active" meditation.
But what exactly happens when you meditate?
Your brain functions on a small amount of electricity, much like a computer. This electrical current vibrates and pulses at various speeds. When you are wide awake, with your eyes focused, your brain vibrates 20 times per second - what scientists call 20 cycles per second or the Beta frequency.
You are probably at this beta level of mind right now as you read this.
When you go to sleep, your brain frequency slows down, all the way to about half a cycle per second in the deepest levels of natural sleep. This is known as the Delta level.
In between Beta, the waking state, and Delta, the deep sleep state, there are two other levels of mental activity.
When you are in a light level of sleep or in meditation you are in the Alpha range, which is 7 to 14 cycles per second. This is the center range and this is what we mean by saying "going to your center".
Going to the alpha level or centering is essentially the same thing as meditating. When someone meditates, scientifically, they are simply reducing their brain wave frequency to Alpha. The Alpha level is the level we use to activate our minds.
Theta is a level of deeper relaxation or sleep, when your brain waves are at 4 to 7 cycles per second.
The table below summarizes the 4 states of brain frequency.
State Brain Wave
Beta
14 - 21 cycles per second (cps)
and higher
Waking State, the five senses. Perception of Time and Space
Alpha 7 - 14 cps Light sleep, meditation, intuition. No Time & Space limitation. Theta 4 - 7 cps Deeper Sleep, Meditation.
Delta 0 - 4 cps Deep Sleep. You are unconscious at Delta.
There are many benefits of "going to the Alpha level" or meditating.
Jose Silva found that people who can remain in the Alpha level while analyzing information have access to more information than those who remain in Beta to do their thinking.
Feelings of intuition, creative ideas, inspirational thoughts and ideas come to people while at this Alpha level.
Going to Alpha is also good for programming your mind. At the Alpha level you can learn to overcome all kinds of problems, such as insomnia, tension and migraine headaches, bad habits, and much more. You can also program your mind to help you achieve your goals and make your dreams come true. There are formulas for all this and more in the Silva home study program and seminars.
During the 25 minutes you remain at Alpha while using the Silva Centering Exercise, you can practice relaxing physically and mentally, and you can imagine yourself succeeding in your projects and achieving your goals.
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits to "going to Alpha". Now let's get to learning how to practice the Silva Centering Exercise.
Part 2: How to Practice
Guide to Practicing the Silva Centering Exercise!
Part 2: How to Practice
The Silva Centering Exercise is presented over audio. Ed Bernd Jr. will guide you to a
healthy, relaxed level of mind. You will also hear a gently thudding sound in the background. The sound is a gentle beat of 14 cycles per second. This sound simulates the alpha level frequency and will help guide your brain to this correct frequency.
All you need to do is find a comfortable position, preferably sitting up, and close your eyes. When you're ready you can start the audio.
When you practice the Silva Centering Exercise, there are three things you need to do while you keep your eyes closed. The Exercise is more than just a relaxation tool - it is also a powerful way to tap into your mind to solve problems, change habits and practice creative visualization.
This is what we mean by Dynamic Meditation. The Three Things You Must Do
Author Ed Bernd Jr. with Jose Silva
First, you should practice your concentration. Concentration is a basic skill. Concentrate on what the instructor tells you to do via the audio.
Second, practice your imagination. We want you to learn how to exaggerate your imagination, because you will be in a better position to control your creative
visualization. At the same time, it will keep you active while going through the exercise. By being mentally active, you avoid the tendency to drift off into sleep.
Third, you must practice coordinating your physiological relaxation with your mental relaxation. It is easy to go into a mental relaxation. But you must learn to let your body relax too. It takes a little longer for you to relax your body than it does for you to relax your mind. You do not have to maintain a fixed, rigid position. If you have to adjust your body to be comfortable, do so. If you need to scratch an itch, do it. Make yourself comfortable and you will be able to relax better.
If you feel uncomfortable for any reason, if you feel that you want to open your eyes, then open your eyes immediately. Tell yourself - mentally or verbally - to relax, that everything is okay. Then when you are relaxed, go back to the beginning of the recording and start over.
Things to Remember
1. When the instructor says to "project" - or "concentrate" - your sense of awareness on your scalp area, that's where you start practicing concentration. Establish what your "awareness" is. Let's pretend, for example, that it is a ray of light. Blue-white light. It is easier for us to focus a ray of light into that area than anything else.
2. Next you are instructed to detect the vibrations in that area, a "feeling of warmth caused by circulation". Naturally, it is the blood circulation we are talking about. Concentrate on trying to feel the pulsations of those vibrations in that area. You may not feel them on your first try, but by the second or third effort, you will.
3. Then you are instructed to "release and completely relax all tensions and ligament pressures from this part of your body". Don't just recite it, concentrate on it, and
exaggerate your imagination. How would you imagine your scalp being fully relaxed? Think. Concentrate. Maybe you would feel better imagining your scalp as if there is a warm, wet cloth draped over it. Use your imagination.
4. The instructor will also say positive affirmations such as "every day in every way I am getting better and better". Another affirmation you will hear is "I am now learning to attune my intelligence, and developing my sensing faculties, and learning to project them to different locations". This is an affirmation we use in our seminars to train people to develop ESP.
When you combine your physiological relaxation with your mental relaxation you will be much more relaxed at the end of that exercise.
The more you practice, the easier it will be to relax completely.
Please remember, the secret to success is discipline. Practice makes perfect. This is no different from training your physical body and getting into shape. If you exercise your body only once per month you get very different results than if you exercise daily. The same principle applies when you train and exercise your mind. The more you go into alpha, learn to visualize, relax, and tune into your intuition, the healthier and better your life becomes. Note: You may want to listen to the exercise first so there will be no surprises.
Some Applications
With practice you will also be better able to tap into your intuitive feelings or hunches. It just takes practice, and the knowledge that it is possible and that you can do it. In Silva UltraMind Seminars the majority of participants are able to tap effectively into their intuition by day two of the seminar and perform health case readings on people unknown to them. It is important that you continue to practice the Silva Centering Exercise regularly. We encourage graduates of the UltraMind ESP System to practice it once a week for three months after they graduate. Many of us continue to practice it at least once a week even after that.
Once you have learned to relax in a sitting position, if you want to find a more comfortable position - to stretch out in a nice reclining chair for instance - then do so. First learn to enter deep, healthy levels of mind with conscious awareness - without going to sleep. After you've learned this, then you can enter deep levels even when lying down comfortably, and you can still remain awake for as long as you desire.

Welcome to Lesson 3
We hope that you've had an amazing experience listening to The Silva Centering Exercise, where you learned to enter deep levels of relaxation and meditation. This lesson will show you how to open your mind to a flood of creative ideas and inspiration.
By simply meditating daily you gain immense life-long health benefits. This is commonly called passive meditation.
But there is another type of meditation that we teach at the Silva UltraMind Seminar. We call this active meditation.
Rather than going to your alpha level and simply remaining there in a state of relaxed meditation, we teach you to use this level of mind to accomplish anything you desire.
Now the real fun begins. You can use this level of mind to: • gain inspirational ideas and thoughts, • program your brain to kick bad habits, • accelerate your natural healing process, • develop your intuition.
You can even use this level of mind to create coincidences to move you toward your goals.
Today, we're going to focus on teaching you how to use this level of mind to gain creative ideas or inspiration.
Perhaps you're looking to write a term paper, create a marketing plan for you business or compose a song - you'll learn how to tap into your inner source of creativity to guide you. Gaining Inspiration From Within
Jose Silva used to demonstrate an experiment on creativity with kids in his hometown of Laredo, Texas. He would ask kids to think of solutions to a particular problem while they were at the beta, or waking, level of mind.
He would then guide them to the alpha, or meditative level of mind and ask them to think of further solutions. The children were always able to come up with more ideas while at alpha. Does your mind function more creatively when you're at the alpha level of mind? There is surprising evidence for this, both from first-hand experiences and laboratory evidence.
Napoleon Hill, the best-selling author of Think and Grow Rich and The Laws of Success believed that the human mind was capable of tapping into universal fields of intelligence to access ideas and inspiration.
Napoleon Hill writes:
The great artists, writers, musicians and poets became great because they acquire the habit of relying upon the still, small voice that speaks from within, through the
faculty of creative imagination. It is a fact well known to people who have keen imaginations that their best ideas come through so-called "hunches".
Hill talks about how one inventor from Maryland, the late Dr. Elmer R. Gates, used this technique to come up with over 200 patents. Gates would sit in his soundproof laboratory equipped with a pad of writing paper.
He would shut off the lights and ponder on the known factors of the invention on which he was working.
He would remain in this position until ideas began to "flash" into his mind in connection with the unknown factors of the invention.
On one occasion, ideas came so fast to Gates that he was forced to write for almost three hours. When the thoughts stopped flowing and he examined his work he found that they contained a minute description of principles that had no parallel among the known data of the scientific world. Moreover the answer to his problem was intelligently presented in those notes.
The greatest inventor of our time, Thomas Alva Edison, used a similar technique. Edison was known for taking frequent naps in the middle of the day. It's likely that during these naps he was entering the alpha level. He would often come out of these naps with the solution to problems that had been bugging him.
Edison was awarded 1368 distinct patents and invented, among other things, the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, the film projector, and the first motion picture. Edison was known to have said, "Ideas come from space. This may seem impossible and hard to believe but it's true. Ideas come from out of space."
Where Do Ideas Come From?
Where do creative ideas come from? The brain? The mind?
For best-selling author Richard Bach, a Silva graduate, the idea came from a bird. Bach said this in an interview quoted in the November 1972 issue of Harper's Bazaar. "I was walking along one night, worrying about the rent, when I heard this voice say, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull". But no one was there. I had absolutely no idea what it meant. When I got home, I suddenly had a vision of a seagull flying along, and I began to
write. The story certainly didn't spring from any conscious invention on my part. I just put down what I saw."
Silva Instructor Wingate Paine told us the rest of the story during an instructor training session in Laredo not long after the book became a bestseller.
Wingate said that Bach had written the first two-thirds of the book from a "dream-like" experience where a big seagull appeared to him and said,
"Take dictation, I have a story for you." But the bird faded away before the completion of the story. Wingate said that Bach told him he did not know how to get the bird to come back so that he could finish the book, until he took the Silva course.
Then he knew how to get to that "dream-like" level and how to invite Jonathan Livingston Seagull to this creative level to tell him the rest of the story.
Bach said in a Harper's Bazaar article that even before taking the Silva training, he'd come to assume that "there are certain 'hidden' capacities and powers which can be taught. I think there is a terrifically pleasant principle behind existence - do what you love to do and you'll be guided. It's a lot like flying a plane: You have to trust what you can't see." Jonathan Livingston Seagull was an immediate hit. The book was a bestseller, and the movie based on the book was a huge hit. In fact, Jonathan Livingston Seagull and the books that Bach wrote afterwards helped to bring about a spiritual awakening on the planet, by helping people to understand and accept their own spirituality.
Intuition in the Business World
Does this concept have applications in the world of business?
Professor John Mihalasky, Professor Emeritus of Industrial Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, seems to think so. In experiments he performed with company CEOs he observed that the CEOs who performed best in tests of intuition also
tended to be the ones with the best success rates at running their business (measured in terms of 5 year profitability growth).
Prof. Mihalasky's experiment results are summarized in the table below. Percent Profitability Increase of
the CEO's company over the last 5 years
CEO Intuition Test Score
Above Chance Chance Below Chance
Greater than 100% 81.5% 25% 27.3%
50% to 99% 18.5% 50% 18.2%
Below 50% 0% 25% 54.5%
Note that the CEOs with the greatest profitability increases (100% or more) also had the greatest number of correct "guesses" in intuition tests. 81.5% of them performed above chance results. On the opposite end, of the CEOs with the poorest results, none scored above chance in the intuition test. Of CEOs with mediocre numbers the results were consistent with statistical chance results.
What does this mean?
Perhaps Napoleon Hill was correct when he suggested in his book The Laws of Success that the most successful people of his time, had learned to tap into their sixth sense.
"A genius", Hill said "is a man who has discovered how to increase the intensity of thought to a point where he can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of thought".
This concept of tapping into a universal source of ideas also has applications in the world of science and technology.
A research director at NDM (New Foundations in Medicine) took a Silva course while working on a project to develop artificial arteries. He had come up with 4 different formulas while at beta, but none of them worked.
Silva instructor Ken Obermeyer explained what happened next.
The NDM researcher used a technique he learned in class and programmed himself to have a dream that would contain information that he could use to solve the problem he had in mind - the best formula for artificial arteries.
"He awakened sometime during the night," Obermeyer said, "and wrote out a formula," then he went back to sleep.
"When he awakened in the morning, he saw the formula, went into the laboratory, put a sample together, and found that the human body would accept his plastic."
"One interesting note about this creative solution," Obermeyer continued. "The chemist said that if he had considered this formula on his beta information, he wouldn't have believed it to be a formula the body would accept. He would not have come up with this solution through reason and logic."
Here's how you can use this technique. The Basic Technique
Go to your alpha level using the meditation techniques you learned in part 2 of this e-book. When you have reached your alpha level, think of the problem you wish to solve. When you quiet your personality during meditation you open the channel for higher wisdom and guidance to come to you through your intuitive mind.
Analyze the problem from all aspects and bring to mind all points of information or data you have on the problem. Frame the specific questions in your mind.
Now let your mind wander. Jot down any interesting ideas or thoughts that come to you. The answer may come to you through words, mental pictures or feelings.
This is the end of lesson three. In our next lesson you will learn the art of creative visualization
to help you move toward your goals. This next lesson will be sent to you in two days.
At this point we would like to invite you to join the New Silva UltraMind Email Discussion Group on Yahoo.com. You can learn from fellow practitioners and share your ideas too. Just visit this link to join.
Thank You and we hope you enjoyed this lesson and continue to share these emails with your friends and family.
Lesson 4
Creative Visualization
How You Can Use the Power of Visualization
and Affirmations to Create "Lucky Coincidences"
Welcome to Lesson 4 Is "Luck" Within Your Control?
We now come to the premier techniques for harnessing your mind's power to shape your life and move you towards your dreams and aspirations.
• Affirmations
• Creative Visualization.
In our last lesson you learned how to use the alpha level of mind to gain creative ideas and inspiration.
You are now ready for the next step. You will learn how to tap into your mind to shape your reality.
Perhaps you're looking to be more positive, to stick to your diet, to improve your golf swing or to end a bad habit. We'll show you how you can use affirmations and creative
visualization to reprogram your mind and reshape your attitudes and behavior.
It all starts with your imagination. Imagination is the ability to create an idea, a vision or an image of something new.
In creative visualization, we use the power of imagination to create a mental image of what we want to accomplish or obtain.
Your goal could be on any level • physical
• emotional • mental • spiritual
You might imagine yourself driving that BMW you always wanted, owning a home in the country, married to your ideal mate, succeeding at your job or having $100,000.00 in your bank account.
No matter what your goal, the technique is basically the same. You imagine the desired outcome in your mind. At the same time, you repeat a positive affirmation about the goal. The affirmation is in the present tense.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire,
you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
~ George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
The Scientific Evidence
There is strong scientific evidence that visualization can be used to dramatically improve your results in sports, public speaking, performing arts and anything else which involves practice.
In one study, Australian psychologist Allen Richardson conducted an experiment with basketball players making hoop shots. He divided the players in three groups.
• Group A - was asked to practice their shots on a basketball court for 20 minutes a day. • Group B - was asked not to practice at all.
• Group C - was asked to mentally rehearse shooting a basketball through a hoop for 20 minutes each day.
At the end of the study Group A improved their hoop shot ability by 25%. Group B, as expected, showed no improvement at all.
What was truly surprising, was that Group C improved by 24%, almost as much as Group A, even though they had not physically set foot in a basketball court.
There is also overwhelming scientific evidence that visualization can be used to heal the body. Doctors such as O. Carl Simonton have been helping patients recover from serious illnesses such as cancer by combining visualization with modern medicine. The patients often made dramatic improvements simply by visualizing their bodies behaving in ideal, healthy ways.
We'll look at more of this fascinating evidence in our next lesson which will be on mind-body healing.
What we're going to suggest in this lesson is something even more incredible. Your mind's influence is not just limited to improving your emotions, skills and physical body.
In other words, your mind can spawn amazing coincidences to move you towards your goals. The coincidences could be things that were seemingly unconnected to you and beyond your control.
The techniques we will teach you do not just make you more focused on your goals. They directly influence your reality.
Laboratory evidence pouring out of universities such as Princeton and Stanford has shown that volunteers are able to influence matter by their thoughts. So far the evidence has been limited to effects on random number generators, dice and electronic equipment. We will look at some of this evidence in Lesson Seven.
What is still lacking is scientific evidence that visualization can create "coincidences" in the physical world, outside your immediate control. This of course, is hard to test in a lab. But thousands of scientists and millions of other people in the world do believe in this because they have experienced it in their own lives.
In short, just because an effect cannot be tested in a lab, does not mean it does not exist. Some of the greatest thinkers in the world - Einstein, Edison, Jung, Carnegie and Goethe (the man with the highest recorded IQ, 210) - all believed in the power of the mind to create coincidences.
I believe that the mind has the power to affect groups of atoms and even tamper with the odds of atomic behavior, and that even the course of the world is not predetermined by physical law, but may be altered bythe uncaused volition of
human beings.
~ Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, English mathematician and AstroPhysicist
Let's take a look at some of these personal experiences. Millions of people worldwide have reported such coincidences.
On our web site we maintain a library of letters from people who have used Silva UltraMind techniques to accelerate healing, gain inspiration, start a business, find a dream job, achieve goals, walk again after a car accident, earn a six-figure income, and find peace of mind.
Letters are sorted in categories: • Health
• Personal Development • Career

Below, we have included segments from letters that we have received from students of the Silva UltraMind System. These letters will give you some ideas of what can be accomplished when the mind is properly harnessed.
Letters from Students
The following are extracts from letters we have received from students in the past 12 months. These letters and more, are catalogued on our website:
http://www.silvaultramindsystem.com/testimonials/
"Investment Success"
"[The] technique already solved one problem with my investments. Two days after doing it, the broker called to inform me [that] my value was up 40% and he wanted to get together with me over dinner to discuss better and safer ways of protecting and increasing my assets. This is exactly what I programmed for."
~ Jim from Illinois
"Mental Rehearsal for Sports & Public Speaking"
"I have received many great complements on my oral presentations which can be attributed to my ability to visualize the presentation before it happens. I have also used this technique in golf and kung-fu. Ever since then, it has helped me to become better at my game and master my techniques."
~ C.S. from Warwick Rhode Island
"Weight-Control"
"I did [the technique] in which I saw myself making better choices about what I eat, and ended with the result of being my ideal size. Recently, I noticed that without struggle, I have made dramatic changes in the way I eat - much less fat and sugar and smaller
helpings, yet I seem to be more satisfied and enjoying the taste of the food I eat more than ever."
~ G.H. of New York
"Improving Your Career"
"I'm a sales-manager by profession, and I have to say the visualization is such a
tremendous part of being successful in my field. Virtually every time I use it, I come close or hit the target on what I wanted to achieve."
~ Jeff from Fort Wayne, Indiana
"Looking Better & Attracting People"
"I began to see improvement physically. My joint pain disappeared and my energy level was up. I also began to attract people - especially men, in a way that I had not before
experienced. I also had people say to me I looked 10 years younger and wanted to know what I did. I lost weight."
~ Mary from California
Let's take a look at how you can start applying these techniques. Basic Technique 1 - Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements you repeat to yourself while in a meditative or alpha level of mind. Affirmations are always done in the present tense, as if the action has already taken place.
The concept was made famous by a French physician called Emile Coue. Coue was
responsible for thousands of remarkable documented healings at the beginning of the 20th century. His remedy was to combine western medicine with the power of affirmations. Patients were made to repeat positive healing affirmations to themselves while in a relaxed frame of mind.
Coue's most famous affirmation was "everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better."
When done at the alpha level, affirmations tend to be countless times more powerful than when done at the beta, or waking state.
Why ?
Because when you reach the alpha level of mind, your subconscious is brought to a conscious level - this means it's easier for you to convey commands directly to your subconscious.
Several affirmations that we use in the Silva UltraMind seminar include: I will always maintain a perfectly healthy body and mind.
Positive thoughts, positive emotions, bring me all the benefits and advantages I desire.
I am learning to use more of my mind and to use it in a better way. You can also create your own affirmations:
Looking for job satisfaction? Try saying. . .
I have a perfect career that I truly love and enjoy. I have great opportunities for advancement and I am earning a wonderful salary of __________ a year.
Looking to slim down? Try saying. . .
I only enjoy eating the right types of healthy, nutritious foods that are good for my body.
I love the feeling of increased energy I get after exercising. or
Every day, I am burning calories and getting closer to my ideal weight Looking to attract abundence? Try. . .
I'm so happy and grateful now that money comes to me, in ever increasing quantities, through multiple sources, on a continuous basis.
My relationship with _______ is growing. I enjoy my work and am richly rewarded.
I have enough time, energy, wisdom and funds to accomplish all my goals. Before you start creating your affirmation, note these important rules: 1. Affirmations must be in the present tense.
Your subconscious mind does not think in terms of past, present or future. If you say, I want to be an excellent golfer then your subconscious understands this as a statement of wanting. What you then get is the wanting or desire to be an excellent golfer but not the actual abilityitself.
What you should say is "I am an excellent golfer". Your subconscious understands this as a statement of your present reality. It therefore works to make this reality true.
Remember - replace I want...with I am...
2. You must believe that the goal is within your reach.
If you repeat an affirmation, but at the same time you're secretly thinking you cannot accomplish it, you hijack the process.
When you first start practicing this you should start with small believable goals. As you achieve these goals your confidence in yourself and in the power affirmations grows. This allows you to tackle greater and greater issues.
The best way to implant an affirmation is to release your mind from all desire and intention.
Merely state the suggestion to yourself without passion as a thing that is already so. Something that is true is obvious and undeniable -- it does not need to be shouted or defended. It simply is. Use repetition to reinforce the effects of the affirmation.
3. Affirmations must always be done as a positive statement.
If you're trying to drop weight don't say, "I am not overweight". Instead say, "I am slim and healthy". When you see a phrase such as "I am no longer ill", the dominant image in your mind is that of illness. When you turn that around to a phrase such as "I am healthy and well", the dominant image in your mind is then one of health and wellness.
Remember - always turn the affirmation into a positive statement.
Positive affirmations are extremely useful in causing fundamental change, not only in behavior and beliefs, but in the external conditions of life.
When a suggestion is correctly injected into the subconscious mind, the effect is nothing short of miraculous. It does not show itself overnight, however, but is gradual and cumulative.
Basic Technique 2 - Creative Visualization
While affirmations are good - Silva pioneered a technique that is far more powerful that using simple affirmations. This technique is called creative visualization.
This involves visualizing the end result of your goal or desire while you are in the alpha level of mind.
The concept of creative visualization has been known for ages. It gained renewed popularity in the 1970s when a Silva graduate by the name of Shakti Gawain wrote a best-selling book about it.
Just like affirmations your visualization should be done in the "present tense". Lets say you're looking to own a brand new car. You want to visualize yourself in the car and feel the moment as if it is happening this instant and not at some time in the future.
In other words, feel the sense of joy in owning the car, rather than the sense of wanting or the sense of desire for the car.
To visualize effectively Jose Silva suggests creating a mental screen in front of your eyes. This should be like the screen you see in a cinema. It should be forward, in front of your eyes, and raised at an angle of around 20 degrees. The screen should be at least 6 feet in front of you. Make the screen as large as you can, almost like a movie screen in a cinema. Try it now.
Close your eyes and visualize the mental screen, raised slightly 20 degrees above the horizon, and at least 6 feet in front of you.
When you perform creative visualization you will project images onto this screen.
If you are looking to improve your sports skills, visualize yourself playing the game perfectly. See yourself making perfect moves, shooting every basket, making the perfect swing. Feel the joy you feel when you play the game well.
If you are looking to shed some pounds, see yourself healthy and fit. Feel the joy of having a beautiful body. See people complimenting you.
If you're in sales, you can see yourself making the perfect pitches. See your monthly commission statements showing ever increasing figures
Enhancing Your Creative Visualization
If you have difficulty visualizing use a technique called streaming. In streaming you mentally describe what it is that you're seeing. Make the description as detailed as possible. For example if you're trying to visualize yourself driving a brand new car, mentally tell yourself, "I'm seein the dashboard, it has beautifully carved silver dials, the leather has tiny checkered patterns on it...."
As you describe the image in detail you will find that the image also takes on more detail. This, in turn, gives you more things to mentally describe. One feeds into the other and your imagined image becomes more and more vivid.
Don't get stuck on the term "visualization". Different people have different dominant senses. The most common dominant sense is the sense of sight. This is why for most people the process of visualization works well. Some people, however, may have a dominant sense of touch or hearing or smell. These people may have difficulty "visualizing" but may be able to accurately imagine sounds, smells or feelings.
For these people it's important to incorporate these senses into their "mental experience". Someone who was born blind for example, can still engage in creative visualization, but rather then see images, they would create the mental experience by using their mental sense of smell, hearing, taste and touch.
How to Increase the Impact of Creative Visualization: 1. Make the image as realistic as possible.
Incorporate movement, make the screen three-dimensional. See colors and shapes. Use the streaming technique if you have difficulty visualizing.
2. Feel emotions associated with the image
Joy, happiness, a sense of fulfillment. How would you be feeling if you had what you wanted? Imagine and explore this feeling.
A thought without emotions has no energy and no force behind it. It is like running a car on empty. Feel the emotions of having what you want.
3. Bring in your other senses.
Feel the wind blowing on your face; imagine the scents involved with the images. Feel texture and temperature. The more senses you involve, the more real the image is to your subconscious mind.
Here's one example. Picture an orange. Imagine the color of it. Is it bright orange and ripe? Then picture yourself peeling the orange. Imagine the smell as you start to peel it. Feel the juice flowing over your fingers. Then squeeze the orange and feel the flesh of the fruit. Bring it to your nose and imagine the odor of an orange. Imagine tasting it and bring back a
memory of how an orange tastes in your mouth. As you can see, the trick is to make the image as real as possible by using all of your senses and emotions.
Remember, the more realistic the visualization process, the better and faster the results.
How You Can Practice
You can combine your affirmations with your creative visualization to create a more powerful effect. As you're imagining your goal, simply repeat your affirmation mentally, as many times as you feel necessary.
Don't be discouraged if you do not get immediate results. We are all at different levels of spiritual development and some of us have years of negative programming and negative belief systems to overcome. But overcome them you shall. Creative visualization can be such a powerful process when done at the Alpha level that just five minutes a day of practice can undo years of negative programming.
Furthermore, once you get your first success your belief system gets strengthened and this will allow you to manifest your next goal a little quicker. Masters who practiceregularly find that they do not even have to go to a meditative level of mind and spend time repeatedly visualizing their goals. A mere conscious thought of their desire can set the gears in motion and create coincidences to direct them towards their goal.
Before we end this lesson we will share some other letters received from students who have taken the Silva UltraMind seminar or used the home study program.
Keep in mind that these students attended the seminar or used the home study course, both of which contain advanced techniques beyond the scope of this program.
One can still get excellent results from just the basic techniques outlined in this program but you will have to practice much harder and start with smaller goals while you build up your belief system.
More Personal Experiences "Powerful Healing"
"I was soon able to walk again, and within 6 months, was able to return to practicing
medicine. I have advanced even further and made a move and am happier than I have been in years. Also, no headaches or any other pain. My medical knowledge returned totally intact."
~ A Medical Doctor in Mississippi who was in a coma after a car accident
"I was put in charge of buying a large amount advertising space for my company. The company selling the space offered us the spot for $500,000.00. This was way above our budget. My CEO who is an excellent negotiator had been trying to get them down to $100,000 for months but had no success. Finally he dumped the project on me. I had no experience with this sort of negotiation but I used the Silva technique while in my
meditative level to communicate with the advertisement seller and to request a better deal. The seller had been ignoring me for 2 weeks but that very next day I got a call saying they had agreed to come down to $100,000. I was surprised - we had been trying for months to no avail. By then my confidence was at a peak so I refused the offer and went to my
meditative level again and asked for an even better deal. I mentally visualized myself in the negotiation and getting the deal I wanted. Again the results came hard and fast. The very next day I managed to get them down to $60,000. We signed the contract! My CEO was impressed that I managed to do this. Well I got a huge bonus. This was 2 months after taking the UltraMind seminar. Lets just say the seminar paid for itself 20 times over in a mere 2 months."
~ John, Business Development Manager at a Silicon Valley Company
"Overcoming Hurdles"
"I am most excited about the results I got from using the technique on a screenplay I had been contracted to write. The project had been stalled for a year because the producer was not able to get the necessary permissions to go ahead. Within a few weeks, I was able to get the necessary permissions to go ahead with the project. I will certainly continue to use these techniques as the project moves through the many phases involved."
~ Jackie from New York
"Solving Conflicts"
"I work [for a] Financial Management company that provides financial solutions for major international banking institutions. We had [a] client in Europe [and] the project involving my team was well under way. The project was not going easy and we had some tensions, but when the client's management team changed we had to deal with an absolutely arrogant and unreasonable person. Yesterday our final round of negotiations failed and this person stormed out of the meeting room cursing. I went into my Alpha level in the evening and pictured this person forgiving and shaking hands with our rep (Our rep had requested resignation yesterday). I pictured them both calm and collaborating and both companies benefiting from the project completion. Guess what? Today our rep is in a good mood and back to work. That arrogant manager did apologized and the project keeps running. I am amazed."
~ Arthur D from New York
"Casino Winnings"
"Walked in a casino, went to the roulette table, and used the technique. After 47 minutes of playing, I walked away with $1600.00 in gains. I needed 1300.00 for some car repairs. I
went to the casino with just 100 dollars, went home with $1600. Used the $1300 for car repairs and gave the other $300 to the Salvation Army."
~ Jim from Illinois
"Securing a Six-figure Job"
"I have secured a job paying close to six figures, and have a shot at another which would pay significantly more. Add to that, the little family business that we began 8 months ago has all the promise of skyrocketing."
~ John from Colorado
"Fast Healing"
"Wow. I can't believe that I had a skin graft two weeks ago. My foot was still swollen. I went to level to get rid of the swelling. This morning I woke up and my ankle was normal size. It will probably swell again, but I'm going back to level and get rid of it again. This stuff works. I love it."
