      Was interesting not diving much into the how to though
    • 2/5
      It is not what I expected after the title reflection. It is more about history and further description of SM. If you have read any other Silva's book about Silva Mathod, this one you can leave behind. At least it it short brochure so there is just a little time waste.

    Reflections, Personal Evaluation by the Founder of the Silva Method - José Silva

    Introduction

    "Coincidence is the pseudonym of God when He does not wish to sign" Antole France

    Jose lost his father at the age of four. Since he was the eldest male child he dedicated himself to the support of the family. When he was six years old he used to work as a shoe shine boy, and also at selling newspapers and running errands. He never went to school and it was his brothers and sisters, to whom he gave the opportunity of getting an education, who taught him how to read and write.

    During the time of the depression years, in 1929, at the age of fifteen, he already had organized a sales team, composed of children between the ages of nine and twelve. In the afternoons when school was out this extraordinary group would move around through some of the streets of the city o Laredo, knocking on doors to sell combs, needles, buttons, razor blades, shoe laces and aspirins. Ever since then it became clear that Jose had a great talent for being Lucky. He and his exemplary team would earn more in one day than many adults did in one whole week.

    One day while Jose was waiting his turn at the barbershop, he began to read a correspondence course for electronics and radio repair. Jose asked if the lesson could be lent to him, but they only offered to rent it to him on the condition that he would fill out the exams under the name of the barber. Soon, after several weeks of paying the rent fees, and of having read the lessons and finishing the exams, one could see a very beautiful diploma hanging at the barbershop. The barber kept on attending to his habitual clientele, and Jose, at the other side of town, dedicated himself to radio repair.

    Jose Silva got married when he was twenty-six years old. Paula, his wife, had been his neighbor and was his first childhood love and girlfriend since the age of twelve. They subsequently had ten children. Besides being dedicated to his family and his work, Jose always had and developed a special taste for music. During his free hours he studied voice with the desire of becoming a professional tenor; his talent was outstanding, and because of it, he was granted a scholarship to famous school, in Milano Italy, the home of La Scala to complete his training.

    However, because o other commitments, which probably were also for him incomprehensible at the time, his curiosity had already penetrated into the field of research concerning the human brain and it’s possibilities. Therefore, he rejected the extraordinary scholarship that had been granted to him, in order to initiate his even more extraordinary voyage that would culminate in the Silva Method of Mind Control.

    Many coincidences were responsible for introducing Jose to in depth research of the human mind, and, as a Christian, of the significance of the works of Jesus.

    During the war, while he was doing his military service, a small print that had on one of its sides an image of Christ and on the other a prayer under the name of One Solitary Life, was given to him. For some strange reason the gift caused him great emotion, so great an emotion that even today, almost forty years later, he still carries it with him in his wallet.

    Curiously, it was during his military service that he began his research concerning brainwave frequencies and their relation to electrical potential, which can be utilized consciously and under the control of man himself.

    After several years of searching and after undertaking studies of psychology and hypnosis, Jose felt himself disheartened as he found no support of any kind, not even from his family; on the contrary, what he had received, most of all, was reproach because his belief in the un-actualized capacity of human beings was misunderstood as tampering with the unknown and was seen as a threat to the established order by pillars
