Silva Support

Welcome to the Silva Graduate Information Center, a vast knowledge base of information and guidance for bettering your life with Jose Silva's revolutionary Mind Training Systems.

We welcome your questions, your experiences, and your successes. We'll be happy to include them, but this is not a public forum, it is not a "wiki," it is not a discussion group.

This is about Jose Silva's 55 years of scientific research and experience and what he found and his interpretation of his results.

Silva Support Team

We've assembled an outstanding team to insure that the information presented here is not what we think Jose Silva would have said, as often as possible it is his exact words.

Senior Consultant and Advisor is Jose Silva Jr. "Joe Jr." as we call him is one of the last links to the beginning of Jose Silva's research. Joe documented much of the research, and has numerous audio recordings from those early days of research. Born in 1941, Joe was Jose and Paula Silva's first child.

Our fact checker is veteran newspaper reporter and Silva Instructor Ed Bernd Jr. During the 17 years that he worked for Mr. Silva at the Laredo world headquarters, Ed worked on more than a dozen books with him as editor or coauthor. He also developed courses under Mr. Silva's guidance and direction for sales people and athletes, and managed the officials Silva alumni association since 1983.

Jose Silva also speaks for himself in these pages, thanks to numerous audio recordings. It is often valuable to hear for yourself exactly how he expressed something. And remember, since there is "no time or space" in the subjective dimension, you can go to your level and be right here with him right now - in the subjective dimension.

Other members of the team include Laura Silva, veteran Instructors Donna Briggs, Bill Sturdevant, and others.

Silva scientific research

Jose Silva is no longer here to speak for himself, but fortunately he left many writings and a lot of recordings so that we refer back to. That is what we have done - and will continue to do - on this web site. Whenever possible, we will include recordings so you can hear him in his own voice.

Sometimes we hear people say, "Jose Silva said...." At times they are quite accurate. Other times they aren't. Sometimes their memory is faulty. Sometimes they want to use Jose Silva's name to advance their own ideas. And sometimes what he said might apply only in limited situations, if that is what it took to correct a problem.

Doing whatever it takes

Here is an example of an instance when he worked within another person's belief system to correct a serious problem. It was during a trip to Venezuela to present his Ultra Seminar. Someone told him about a young woman who was "possessed" by an "evil spirit," and nobody had been able to help her. They asked if he could help her.

He agreed and they took him to the young woman. When he arrived, she was acting out - out of control. She wouldn't respond to anyone, but was crying and shouting and thrashing around.

As all UltraMind ESP System graduates know, Mr. Silva did not believe that there are evil entities that can harm us. This is covered in the Silva UltraMind ESP System Resource Guide (student manual) on Pages 46-54.

But the young woman, and the people with her, believed that she was possessed by an evil spirit. So in order to correct the problem, he had to work within her belief system.

Gaining her attention

First he had to get her to listen to him. And he needed for her to believe that he was powerful enough to help her. So he took care of both items at the same time:

He grabbed her by the wrist, and began to squeeze very tight. Mr. Silva was a strong man; he had been a prize fighter when he was young, and had very large hands and arms.

So before long, his strong grip on her wrist started to become painful, painful enough to get her attention.

Then he told her that he was there to help her, that her body had been taken over by an evil spirit, and that she wasn't strong enough by herself to fight it off, but that he was stronger and more powerful than the evil entity so that he would help her by positioning himself between her and the evil entity and then the only way the evil entity could get to her was through him, and since he was more powerful, that wasn't going to happen.

Of course he didn't believe that there was an evil entity, and therefore he didn't do anything to "block" such an "entity."

Instead, he programmed for her to believe him, and to accept what he said, because he knew that if she would do that, then she would correct her own problem.

And this is exactly what happened. She had felt Jose Silva's power herself - her sore wrist reminded her of that. So she believed him, believed that he was powerful enough to fight off the "evil spirit" that had possessed her.

The problem was solved, and everybody was happy.

Sent here to correct problems

Jose Silva was always a very pragmatic person, and if telling a little "fib" would correct a problem, would give them the information that they needed, then that's what he would do.

Those people were very fortunate, that Jose Silva cared enough about them that he was even willing to give incorrect information about his research and beliefs if it that's what it took to help them.

But in his writings and in his classes and in recordings that he made for us, he was careful to explain his research correctly. And that's what you will find on this web site.

If you ever have any question about anything on this site, please contact us and let us know. Ask anything you want to ask and we will find the answer for you - Jose Silva's answer, based on his decades of scientific research and experience.

What it takes to be the best

Here is one more example of how an answer to a very specific question didn't give the whole story.

It was in 1995 while working on the Think and Grow Fit book. Mr. Silva's coauthor Ed Bernd Jr. wanted a summary statement for the last chapter and asked him what the most important thing was that an athlete could do mentally to have the best chance of being a winner and becoming a champion.

"He has to make it the most important thing in his life," Mr. Silva answered. "He has to be willing to make any sacrifice in order to be the best, to dwell on it and work at it constantly and not let anything distract him from that goal."

Ed said that he was shocked by that answer, so he asked a followup question: "Do you recommend that people do that?"

Mr. Silva's eyes opened wide in an expression of surprise, as if he were shocked by his own answer. Then, Ed continued, he smiled and said, "No, of course not."

Many benefits of the Silva Support Site

The purpose of this web site is to provide a place for graduates of Jose Silva's Mind Training and Holistic Faith Healing Systems to find inspiration, motivation and answers to frequently asked questions, to find articles covering a number of interesting topics related to his research, and to hopefully provide inspiration, help and ideas on how you can use the intuitive skills that you learned to make the world a better place.

Have you just completed an UltraMind ESP System course and want to continue to learn and improve your skills? Then this is the place for you. Continue to learn and to use your skills after the seminar is over with, or pick up where you left off if it's been awhile since you have taken the course. Here you'll discover the many ways that these wonderful skills can be applied to countless areas of your life.

Mr. Silva always said that there are three areas that are of primary importance for the focus of your efforts: Health, Relationships, and Business. He always suggested health first, because if you are in good health then you are in a better position to help others. If you have feedback and ideas for things that you'd like to see covered here on this site please let us know and we'll consider them.
