FAQ about ESP and its value

Q: How is ESP beneficial for my health?

A: There are countless decisions we make about our health all the time.

When you or a loved one has a health problem, there are many decisions to make:

• Your doctor explains your situation and the options available to you
• Should you have surgery now, or wait?
• Which treatment is the best for you?
• Do you need a second opinion?
• Which hospital/doctor do you want to help you?

When you are healthy, there are many decisions to make to insure that you maintain optimum health so that you will have the energy that you need to fulfill your mission in life, and that you will live a long, healthy life and be there for your loved ones when they need you... and not be a burden to them:

• What is the best nutritional program for you?
• What foods should you eat? Which foods should you avoid?
• Do you need to take vitamins and supplements?
• What exercise program is best for you?
• What is your ideal weight and size?

Q: How can ESP help me in my relationships?

A: Jose Silva's mind training system has been described as "A course in human sensitivity." When you are more sensitive to other people, you can respond better to them, building stronger and better relationships. Your intuition can help you in all kinds of relationships:

People who make decisions "on their own," at the beta brain wave level, are correct on average only 1 time out of 5, Mr. Silva found in his research. Those who use their intuition, at the alpha level, are correct 4 out of 5 times.

When you make a decision about who you want to spend the rest of your life with, please use your ESP to obtain as much information as possible, so that you will make the right decision the first time.

It has been said that being a parent is the most difficult job in the world. Parents need all the help they can get. In addition to information you detect with your physical senses - your eyes and ears and other physical senses - you can learn to project your mind so that you can learn what your children are thinking, what their hopes and dreams are, what frightens them, what decisions they are contemplating. This will help you to fulfill your responsibility to guide them as they mature.

We all need friends. There is an old saying that sharing your troubles cuts them in half, and sharing your joys doubles them. Intuition can be invaluable in strengthening friendships.

When it comes to earning a living, relationships are usually involved: Relationships with your employer, your employees, your customers, your clients, your associates.

The more you understand about what is wanted or needed or expected of you in these relationships, the easier it will be to earn your living.

Q: How will ESP help me in the business world?

A: Jose Silva's mind training system will help you make better decisions. We all know that the more information you have, the better decisions you will make.

• If you are employed and work for a living, you can win promotions and pay raises by anticipating what your employer wants and doing it.
• Employers can use their intuition to learn what's on employees' minds and then take steps to head off potential problems before the develop.
• Managers can use the information they obtain with their intuition to help them walk the line between the requirements of the managers above them, and the needs and whims of the employees that they supervise.
• Sales people can project their minds mentally to learn what their customers and clients really want and need, what they can really afford to pay for it, and what their real objections are.

Q: How long does it take to develop my ESP?

A: You can learn to use your ESP reliably and accurately in just one weekend - just 16 hours of easy, relaxing classroom time.

You can also learn at your convenience at the place and time of your choosing with our ESP home study courses. When you learn on your own you can take your time and go at your own pace.

Q: Are there prerequisites to taking the UltraMind course?

A: No, all you need is a desire to learn to develop your intuition and use it to detect information that you can use to help you make better decisions.

Jose Silva realized, and went on to prove, that ESP is a natural human function that everybody has. It is like reading: Everyone has the potential to read, but most of us needed to be taught. Someone who hasn't learned to read is not dumb, and does not lack some "special ability" that other people have; that person just hasn't been taught.

That's why Jose Silva changed the meaning of ESP from "Extra Sensory Projection" to "Effective Sensory Perception." It is not an "extra" sense like people once thought; it is a sense that you can learn to use very effectively. And we certainly do not need to sit passively and wait to "perceive" information; you can "project" your mind anywhere, any time, to detect information that you need to correct a problem and improve conditions on earth.

The idea of simply waiting for ESP to happen seemed as foolish to Mr. Silva as it would be for you to sit and stare straight ahead and wait for something to move into your field of view! We use our eyes to seek out information that we need. Y

ou can project your mind in the same way, which some people call "remote viewing."

The biggest difference: There are no limits that we know of to projecting your mind. You can project it anywhere, and detect any information, if you need that information to correct problems, improve conditions here on planet earth, and fulfill your mission in life.

Q: Can everyone learn? Do you guarantee it?

From the very beginning, Jose Silva always offered an unconditional money back guarantee to anyone who was dissatisfied with his course. Very, very few people every ask for a refund.

Silva UltraMind ESP Systems continues that tradition, and requires every certified Silva Instructor to refund money to anyone who asks for it, during the class, at the end of class, or within a few days after the end of the class.

You don't even need to give a reason. What could be more fair than that?

Q: How do your students "demonstrate" their psychic ability?

A: They have the opportunity to project their mind and detect information at a distance, information not available to their physical senses, and then verify that they are correct.

This is done by working "health cases." The easiest information to detect is about another human being with a serious health problem. Life-threatening problems are the easiest to detect.

Here is how it works: You will pair up with another student in the seminar. Each of you will bring several problem cases - names of people who are ill or injured. One of you will function as the psychic, and the other student will give you the name and age of the person with the health problem. You will then project your mind and detect the problem mentally.

When you have given a complete report, your classmate will give you feedback so that you can determine how accurate you are on the case.

After you have worked the cases that your classmate brought, then you will swap roles - your classmate will be the psychic, and you will present the cases of people that you know, and your classmate will "remotely view" their health problems.

You will have ample opportunity to work with several different classmates, so that you can work at least ten of these case studies. Ten is a large enough test sample to assure you that you are not just making lucky guesses, but are actually projecting your mind and accurately detecting information.

Q: How long have you been training psychics?

A: By 1953, Jose Silva had trained his oldest daughter to be a psychic. Isabel could accurately describe health problems in people she didn't even know, people who were hundreds of miles away.

When she grew up and became a nurse, she used this ability frequently to be prepared when emergency cases were brought in. During operations, she could often tell what was going to happen before it happened, so she was ready to respond instantly. Doctors who worked with her didn't know how she did it, but they wanted her with them.

She may well have been the world's very first "medical intuition" decades before someone came up with that term to describe medical professionals who use their ESP.

During the next 10 years, Mr. Silva trained 39 more people to use their ESP accurately and reliably, whenever they needed to detect information to correct a problem and improve conditions on earth. He pre-tested them to make sure that they were not displaying any signs of ESP before he trained them - to insure that they were not so-called "natural psychics."

From 1963 to 1966 he trained groups of people in his hometown of Laredo, Texas. In 1965 he offered all of his research to the United States government, free of charge, hoping that they would continue with the work. But they turned him down.

In 1966, after giving a talk about his research to a group of parapsychology students at Wayland Baptist College, word started to spread. He was invited to speak to a group of artists in Amarillo, Texas, and that led to his very first public class.

Thirty years later, people in more than 100 countries around the world were learning how to use visualization and imagination, and mental programming, to manifest what they wanted. And along the way, they were also developing their psychic ability.

People's consciousness and awareness changed dramatically during those 30 years, thanks largely to the influence of Jose Silva's efforts. By 1995, the average person believed in ESP and intuition, understood and accepted the reality of a spiritual dimension, and was beginning to ask how this could be used - not just to enhance their own lives, but to make the world a better place to live.

That's when Jose Silva said that humanity had finally reached the end of the first phase of human evolution, and stood on the brink of the second phase of human evolution.

In 1997, Mr. Silva came up with the technique that people could actually use to begin the march of humanity into the second phase of human evolution: The MentalVideo Technique.

The MentalVideo Technique gives everyone a simple way to do something that only a very few people throughout history have been able to do:

Communicate reliably and regularly with higher intelligence in order to obtain guidance and help in fulfilling our mission in life.

The first phase of human evolution was developing and learning to use the tools we were given. We learned and practiced by doing what we wanted to do, getting the things we wanted to have.

The second phase of human evolution is to learn what higher intelligence sent us here to do, and how to do it successfully.

"The reason we were given psychic ability," Jose Silva told us in the summer of 1997, "is so that we can find out what we were sent here to do, and how to do it successfully."

His mission was learning how to train psychics, then training as many as he could, and pointing us in the right direction as we begin the second phase of human evolution on the planet.
