Introduction. You are now setting out on one of the most transforming adventures of your life. Each result you achieve will change your view of yourself and of the world you are born into. With your new powers will come a responsibility to use them for the betterment of mankind. A mind control phrase. You cannot use them otherwise as you are about to learn. The city planner of a western city closed his office door, leaving his secretary alone and troubled at her desk. The drawings for a proposed shopping mall were missing, and a yes or no meeting with city officials was scheduled for later that same week. Jobs had been lost for less, but the planner seemed almost untouched by what would have driven other bosses into a secretary-shattering storm. In a moment his eyes closed and he became still and quiet anyone might have thought he was composing himself in the face of disaster. A full 10 minutes later he opened his eyes, rose slowly, and walked outside to his secretary. I think I've found them, he said calmly. Let's look at my expense account for last Thursday when I was in Hartford. What restaurant did I have dinner in? 12 divided by the silver mind control method. He telephoned the restaurants. The drawings were there. The city planner had been trained in silver mind control to awaken what for most of us are unused talents of the mind. One of the things he learned was to retrieve memories that have been scrolled away where the untrained mind cannot find them. These awakened talents are doing amazing things for the more than 500,000 men and women who have taken the course. What exactly was the city planner doing when he sat quietly for 10 minutes? A report from another mind control graduate provides a hint. I had an incredible experience yesterday in Bermuda. I had two hours to get on the plane back to New York and couldn't find my plane ticket anywhere. For almost an hour, three of us searched the apartment where I'd been staying. We looked under carpets, behind the refrigerator, everywhere. I even unpacked and packed my suitcase three times, but no ticket was found. Finally, I decided to find myself a quiet corner and enter my level. No sooner was I at my level than I could see my plane ticket as clearly as if I were ac2ly looking at it. It was in the bottom of a closet tucked in between some books, hardly noticeable. I rushed to the closet and there was the ticket, just as I had imagined it. To those not trained in mind control, this sounds incredible, but when you come to the chapters by Jose Silva, Mind Controls founder, you will learn of even more amazing powers of your own mind. Perhaps most amazing of all is how easily and quickly you can learn. Mr. Silva has devoted most of his adult life to research into what our minds can be trained to do. The result is a 4-0 to 4-8 hour course that can train anyone to remember what appears to be forgotten, to control pain, to speed healing, to abandon unwanted habits, to spark intuition so that the sixth sense becomes a creative, problem-solving part of daily life. With all this comes a cheerful inner peace, a quiet optimism based on first-hand evidence that we are more in control of our lives than we ever imagined. Now for the first time through the printed word, you can learn to practice much of what is taught in the course. Mr. Silva has borrowed freely from both Eastern and Western learning, but the end product is quintessently American. The course, like its founder, is totally practical everything he teaches is designed to help you live more happily, more effectively. Here and now, as you proceed from one exercise to another in the chapters by Mr. Silva, you will pile one success on top of another and so strengthen your confidence in yourself that you will be ready for achievements which, assuming you are not acquainted with mind control, you now regard as impossible. But there is scientific proof that your mind is capable of miracles. In addition, there is the successful experience of more than a half million people whose lives mind control has changed. Imagine using your mind to improve your eyesight. While taking my first course in Silva mind control method, I began to notice that my eyes were changing, seemed stronger prior to this TD worn glasses 10 years through childhood. Then again started when I was 38, always my left eye was said to be three times the weaker of the two. My first glasses in 1945 were reading glasses, but in 48 or 49, I began wearing bifocals. Emsting out ways to stronger. After the course I found that, while I could not read without glasses, my eyes were certainly stronger. Since they were changing so fast, I waited as 14 divided by the Silva mind control method, Mong is possible before having them checked. I even reverted to 20 year old glasses. When the local optometrist tested my eyes, he agreed that the old pair would do much better until the new lenses came. This may seem mysterious to you now, but when you read chapter 10, you will see exactly how graduates put their minds in charge of their bodies to speed up natural healing. The techniques are amazingly simple, as you will see in the following letter from a woman who lost 26 unwanted pounds in four months. First I visualized the dark frame and saw a table loaded with ice cream, cake, etc. All the things I knew put the pounds on. I drew a large red X through the table and saw myself in a mirror that made me look very wide. Next I visualized the scene surrounded by golden light, a table on which all the high protein foods rested, tuna, fish, eggs, lean meat. I placed a large golden check mark on this scene and saw myself in a mirror looking very tall and thin. Mentally I told myself that I craved only the foods on the protein laden table. I also heard all my friends telling me how fantastic I looked and saw all this happening on a specific date. Then I made it, having been a chronic dieter, I find this the only method that has worked. This is mind control, going to a deep meditative level where you even train your own mind to take charge, using its own language of images reinforced with words. Bringing results that become more and more amazing, with no end in sight for the person who keeps in practice. As you can see, this is no ordinary book. It will take you in easy steps first into meditation, then into the many ways you can use meditation until, when you, introduction at 15, reach the final step, you can do routinely what most people firmly believe cannot be done. It is a book within a book, The Outside Book by Philip Meal, describes the almost explosive growth of mind control and how it has benefited many thousands of its graduates. In The Inside Book, Mr. Silva shares with you many of the techniques taught in mind control classes. Because these classes are group experiences led by skilled lecturers, their results are speedier and more spectacular than you will achieve working alone. However, if you follow Mr. Silva's directions carefully and practice the exercises, the results are virtually certain to transform your life for the better, not as speedily, but just as certainly. There is a special way to read this book, first read it as you would any other, from beginning to end. However, during your first reading, do not begin to practice any of the exercises. Then we read chapters 3-14 to get an even clearer overall picture of the roads you are about to travel. Next read chapter 3 and practice die, exercises in it and only those exercises for a few weeks. When you know you are ready, go on to chapter 4 and so on. When you reach chapter 14, you will already be an experienced practitioner of much that mind control graduates have learned. To further enrich your experience, you may wish to form a small group of friends who have practiced the same exercises. Chapter 13, TDS you how to do this. Chapter 1, using more of your mind in special ways. Imagine coming into direct, working contact with an all-pervading higher intelligence and learning in a moment of numinous joy that it is on your side. Imagine too that you made this contact in such simple ways that for the rest of your life you need never again feel helplessly out of touch with something you always suspected was there but could never quite reach. A helpful wise dom, a flash of insight when you need it. The feeling of a loving, powerful presence, how would it feel? It would be a peak experience not too different, perhaps not different at all from spiritual awe. This is what it feels like after four days of silver mind control training. So far, more than a half million PO please know they have been through it. And as they become more accustomed to using the methods that produce this feeling they settle down into a calm, self-confident use of new powers and energies, their lives, richer, healthier, freer of problems. Shortly, Jose Silva will explain some of these methods so that you will be able to start using them yourself. First, let's look in on the beginning of a mind control class and see what takes place. 17. 18 divided by the silver mind control method. To start off, there is an introductory lecture of about an hour and 20 minutes. The lecturer defines mind control and outlines the two decades of research that led to its development. Then, briefly, he describes ways the students will be able to apply what they learn in improving health, solving everyday problems, learning more easily, and deepening spiritual awareness. A 20 minute break follows over coffee the students become acquainted. They are from widely varying backgrounds, physicians, secretaries, teachers, taxi drivers, housewives, high school and college students, psychiatrists, religious leaders, retired people. This is a typical mix. After the break, there is another hour and 20 minute session beginning with some questions and enswers, then down to business with the first training exercise, which will lead to a meditative level of mind. The lecturer explains that this is a state of deep relaxation, deeper than in sleep itself but accompanied by a special kind of awareness. It is in fact an altered state of consciousness used in virtually every meditative discipline and an intensive prayer. No drugs or biofeedback machines are used. Mind control lecturers speak of entering this state as going to your level or sometimes going into alpha. In a 30 minute exercise, they lead the student there gently, giving instructions in plain English. In fact, all of mind control is in plain English, no scientific jargon or far eastern words. Several of the students may already have learned to meditate before coming to class, some using methods that take a few weeks to learn, others after months of determined effort. They are amazed at a simple exercise that takes only 30 minutes. One of the first things students hear is, you are. Using more of your mind in special ways divided by 19 learning to use more of your mind and to use it in a special manner. This is a simple sentence they hear and internalize at the outset the full meaning of it is nothing less than stupefying. Everyone, no exceptions. Everyone has a mind that can easily be trained to exercise powers that beginners openly doubt they have. Only when they see truly experience these powers do they come to believe. Another thing that students are told is, project yourself mentally to your ideal place of relaxation. A pleasant, calming, remarkably vivid exercise, which both strengthens the imagination and leads to deeper relaxation.  If you set this book aside for a moment and consider what to have for dinner tomorrow, you are meditating. But in the various meditative disciplines, the word has a more specific meaning, referring to a special level of mind. In some disciplines, reaching this level is an end in itself. Fearing the mind of all conscious thought, this produces a pleasant calm and goes a long way to ward relieving, and preventing illnesses caused by tension. As countless studies have proved, but this is passive meditation, mind control goes far beyond this. It teaches the student to use this level of mind for solving problems, little nagging ones as well as larger, burdensome ones. This is dynamic Medita Tion. The power of it is truly spectacular. We hear more and more about Alpha nowadays. It is one of the brain wave patterns, a kind of electrical energy produced by the brain, and can be measured by an electroencephalograph. The rhythms of this energy are measured in cycles per second. Generally, about 14CPS and up are called Beta, 20 divided by the silver mind control method. Waves, about 7 to 14 are Alpha, 4 to 70 feet and 4 and below are Delta. When you are wide awake, doing and achieving in the work of the world, you are in Beta or Outer Con Siasness to use mind control terminology. When you are daydreaming, or just going to sleep but not quite there yet, or just awakening but not yet awake, you are in Alpha. Mind control people call this Timer Consciousness. When you are asleep, you are in Alpha, Theta or Delta, not just Alpha alone, as many believe. With mind control training, you can enter the Alpha level at will and still remain fully alert. You may wonder what it feels like to be in these different levels of mind. Being in Beta, or wide awake, does not produce any one particular feeling. You might feel confident or fearful, dizzy or idle, and gross or bored. The possibilities in Beta are endless. In the deeper levels, the possibilities are limited for most people. Life has taught them to function in Beta, not Alpha or Theta. At these deeper levels, they are pretty much limited to daydreaming, the edges of sleep, or sleep itself. But with mind control training, useful possibilities begin to multiply with no end in sight as. Harry Manite, Associate Director of Silver Mind Control, wrote, The Alpha dimension has a complete set of sensing faculties, like the Beta. In other words, we can do different things in Alpha than we can do as Beta. This is a key concept in mind control. Once you become acquainted with these sensing faculties and learn to use them, you will be using more of your mind in a special manner. You will actually operate Psychicoli whenever you want to, tapping in on higher intelligence. Most people seek out mind control as a way to, using more of your mind in special ways divided by 21 relax, to end insomnia, to find relief from headaches, or to learn to do things that cause great efforts of will, such as stopping smoking, losing weight, improving memory, studying more effectively. This is what most of them come for. They learn much, much more. They learn that the five senses, touching, tasting, smelling, hearing, and seeing, are only a part of the senses they were born with. There are others, called empowers or senses, once known only to a gifted feel and to mystics who developed them over lifetimes removed from the active world. The mission of mind control is to train us to awaken these powers. What this awakening can mean was well put by Mademoiselle's beauty editor, Nadine Berlin, in the March 1972 issue. The drug culture can have its mind expanding puies, powders and shots. 111 take mind straight. Mind control does expand your mind. It teaches you how to expand it. It is aptly named because, unlike drugs or hypnosis, you are in control. Mind expansion, self-knowledge and helping others through mind control are only limited by your own limitations. Anything is possible. You hear about it happening to others, and suddenly, you see it happening to you. Chapter 2 meet Jossel. Joss 6 Silva was bombed August 11, 1914, in Laredo, Texas. When he was four, his father died. His mother soon remarried, and he, his older sister, and younger brother moved in with their grandmother. Two years later, he became the family breadwinner, selling newspapers, shining shoes, and doing odd jobs. In the evenings, he watched his sister and brother do their homework, and they helped him learn to read and write. He has never gone to school, except to teach. Josh's rise from poverty began one day when he was waiting his turn in a barbershop. He reached for something to read. What he picked up was a lesson from a correspondence course on how to repair radios. Jose asked to borrow it, but the barber would only rent it, and that unconditioned that Jose complete the examinatiens in the back in the barber's name. Each week, Joss 6 paid a dollar, read the lesson, and completed the examination. Soon, a diploma hung in the barbershop, while across town Jose, at the age of 15, began to repair radios. As the years passed, his repair business became one of the largest in the area, providing money for the educa tion of his brother and sister. The wherewithal for him to marry, plus eventually some half million dollars to 22, meet jose divided by 23, financed the 20 years of research that led to mind control. Another man with diplomas, these more consian tiosly earned than the barbers, inadvertently sparked this research. The man was a psychiatrist whose job it was to ask questions of men being inducted into the signal corps during World War N. D, wet your bed. Jose was dumbfounded. D, like women. Joss 6, the father of three, and destined one day to be the father of ten, was appalled. Surely, he thought, the man knew more about the human mind than the barber knew about radios. Such stupid questions, it was this perplexing moment that started Jose on, an odyssey of scientific research that led to his becoming, without diplomas or certificates. One of the most creative scholars of his age, through their writings, Freud, Jung, and Adler became his early teachers.  Is it possible, using hypnosis, to improve a person's learning ability, in fact, raise his IQ, in those days IQ, was believed to be something we were born with, but Jose was not so sure. The question had to wait while he studied advanced electronics to become an instructor in the signal corps. When he was discharged, with savings gone and 200 dollars in his pocket, he began slowly to rebuild his business. At the same time, he took a half-time teaching job at Laredo Junior College, where he supervised three other teachers and was charged with creating the school's electronics laboratories. Five years later, with television on the scene, his repair business began to flourish, and Jose called a halt to his teaching career. His business once again became the largest in town. His workdays ended about nine each, 24 divided by the silver mind control method. Night, he would have dinner, helped put the children to bed, and when the house was quiet, study for about three hours. His studies led him further into hypnosis, what he learned about hypnosis, plus what he knew about electronics, plus some FS on his children's report cards brought him back to the question he had raised earlier, can learning ability, the IQ, be improved through some kind of mental training? Jose already knew that the mind generates electricity. He had read about experiments that revealed the alpha rhythm early in this century, and he knew from his work in electronics that the ideal circuit is the one with the least resistance, or impedance, because it makes the greatest use of its electrical energy. With the brainwork more effectively too, if its impedance were lowered, and can its impedance be lowered? Josh Six began using hypnosis to quiet the minds of inns children, and he discovered what too many appeared to be a paradox. He found that the brain was more energetic when it was less active. At lower frequencies, the brain received and stored more information. The crucial problem was to keep the mind alert at these frequencies, which are associated more with daydreaming, and sleep them with practical activity. Hypnosis permitted the receptivity Jose was looking for, but not the kind of independent thought that leads to reasoning things out so they can be understood. Having a head full of remembered facts is not enough. Insight and understanding are necessary too. Josh as soon abandoned hypnosis and began experimenting with mental training exercises to quiet the brain yet keep it more independently alert than in hypnosis. This, he reasoned, would lead to improved memory combined with understanding, and hence to higher IQ scores. He exercises from which mind control evolved. Meet Josiah 25, called for relaxed concentration and vivid mental six dualization as ways of reaching lower levels. Once reached, these levels proved more effective than beta in learning. The proof was in his children's sharply improved grades over a three-year period while he continued to improve his techniques. Josh Six had now scored a first, a very significant one, which other research, principally biofeedback, has since confirmed. He was the first person to prove Matt we can learn to function with awareness at the alpha and theta frequencies of the brain. Another first and equally astonishing one was soon to come. One evening, Josh Six's daughter had gone to her level and Jose was questioning her about her studies. As she answered each question, he framed the next in his mind. This was the usual procedure and so far the session was no diff, farant from hundreds that had gone before. Suddenly, quietly, the routine was momentously changed. She ensured a question her father had not yet asked. Then another, and another, she was reading his mind. This was in I9S3, when ESP was becoming a respectable subject for scientific inquiry, largely through the published work of Dr. J.B. Ryan of Duke University. Josh Six wrote to Dr. Ryan to report that he had trained his daughter to practice ESP and received a disappointing answer. Dr. Ryan hinted that the girl might have been psychic to begin with. Without tests of the girl before the training, there was no way to tell L. Meanwhile, Josh Six's neighbors noticed that his children's schoolwork had remarkably improved. At the beginning of his experiments, they had been wary of his probings into the unknown, an unknown perhaps protected by forces that were best not tampered with. How? 26 divided by the silver mind control method. Ever, the successes of a man working with his own children could not be ignored. Would Jose train there? Children too. After the letter from Dr. Ryan, this was just what Jose needed. If what he had accomplished with one child could be accomplished with others, he would have chalked up the kind of repeatable experiments that are basic to the scientific method. Over the next 10 years, he trained 39 ladle children with even better results because he improved his techniques a little with each child. Thus, another first was scored. He had developed the first method in his Tory that can train anyone to use ESP. And he had 39 repeatable experiments to prove it now to perfect the method. It takes only 40 to 48 hours and is as effective with adults as with children. So far it has been validated by some 500,000 experiments. A measure of repeatability that no open-minded scientists can ignore. These long years of research were financed by Josh Six's growing electronics business. No university or founded Tian or government grants were available for so far out of a field of research. Today, the mind control organ is a Tian is a thriving family business with its profits going largely to more research and to support its accelerating growth. There are mind control lecturers or centers in all 50 states and in 34 foreign nations. With all this success, Jose has not become a celebrity nor a guru or spiritual leader with followers or disciples. He is a plain man of simple ways who speaks with the soft, almost lost accent of a Mexican aimer icon. He is a powerfully built, stocky man with a kindly face that creases easily into a smile. Anyone who asks Jose what success has meant to meet Jose's F-27, him will be answered with a flood of success stories. A few examples, a woman wrote to the Boston Herald American beg Jing for some way to help her husband who was tormented by migraine headaches. The newspaper printed her letter, then another letter the next day from someone else also pleading for a way to control such headaches. A physician read these letters and wrote that she had had migraine headaches all her life. She had taken mind control and had not had one since. And would you believe it? The next introductory lecture was mobbed, absolutely mobbed. Another physician, a prominent psychiatrist, advises all his patients to take mind control because it gives them insights that in some cases would require two years of therapy to produce. An entire marketing company was organized as a co-opist by graduates who used what they learned in mind control to invent new products and devise ways of marketing them. In its third year, the company has 18 products on the market. An advertising man used to need about two months to create a campaign for new clients about average in his field. Now, with mind control, the basic ideas come in 20 minutes and the rest of the work is done in two weeks. 14 Chicago White Sox players took mind control. All their individual averages improved, most of them dramatically. The husband of an overweight woman suggested she try mind control because all her diets had failed. She agreed, provided he went too. She lost 20 pounds in six weeks. He stopped smoking. A professor at a college of pharmacy teaches mind control techniques to his students. Their grades are 28 divided by the silver mind control method, going up in all their courses with less studying and they're more relaxed. Everybody already knows how to use his or her imagination. I just get my students to practice it more. I show them that imagination is valid and that there's a form of reality in imagination that they can use.  The smile fades a little and he says, no, I didn't do it. Now, beginning with the next chapter, Jose himself will show you how to use your mind to change your life. Chapter three, how to meditate. Note, this chapter and others through chapter 16 by Josie Silva may very well be among the most important you have ever read. Josie will be teaching you the basic elements of his silver mind control course to benefit fully from Joss's chapters. Be sure you have well in mind the way to read them. You will find this in the introduction. I'm going to help you learn to meditate. When you learn to do this, you will be at a level of mind where you will be able to free your imagination for solving problems. But for now, we will be concerned only with meditation. Problem solving will come later on because you will be learning without an experience guide. I will use a method slightly different and quite a bit slower than the one we use in mind control classes. You will have no trouble with it. If you only learn to meditate and stop there, you will be solving problems anyway. Something beautiful happens in meditation. And the beauty you find is calming. The more you meditate, the deeper you go within yourself, the firmer the grasp you will have of a kind of inner peace so strong that nothing in life will be able to shatter it. Your body will benefit. Two, at first you will find that 29, 30 divided by the silver mind control method worries and guilt feelings are absent while you are meditating. If these feelings intrude, you will simply pop out of the meditative level. This means that those activities of the mind that make our body sick will be neutralized. The body is designed to be healthy. It has its own healing mechanisms built in. These mechanisms are blocked by minds not trained to control themselves. Meditation is the first step in mind control. By itself, it will go a long way towards setting free the body's healing powers and giving it back the energy once squandered on tension. Here is all you have to do to reach the alpha or meditative level of mind. When you awaken in the morning, go to the bathroom if necessary, then return to bed, set your alarm for 15 minutes later in case you drift off to sleep during the exercise, close your eyes and look upward behind your eyelids at a 20 degree angle for reasons not fully understood. This position of the eyes alone will trigger the brain to produce alpha. Now, slowly, at about two second intervals, count backward from 100 to 1. As you do this, keep your mind on it, and you will be in alpha the very first time. In mind control classes, students show a variety of reactions to their first experience. From that was both typhil, till I didn't feel a thing. The difference is less in what happened to them than in how familiar they were with this level of mind in the first place. It will be more or less familiar to everyone. The reason for this, UTL be leading about cases of this in later chapters. How to meditate I-31 is that when we awaken in the morning we are often in alpha for a while. If you feel that nothing happened during this first exercise, it simply means you have been in alpha many times before without being particularly aware of it simply relax, don't question it, and stay with the exert sizes, even though you will be in alpha on the very first try if you concentrate. You still need seven weeks of practice to go to lower levels of alpha, then to them. Use the 100 to 1 method for 10 mornings. Then count only from 50 to 1, 25 to 1, then 10 to 1, and finally 5 to 1, 10 mornings each. Beginning with the very first time you go to your alpha level, use only one method to come out of it. This will give you a greater degree of control against coming out spontaneously. The method we use in mind control is to say mentally, I will slowly come out as I count from 1 to 5, feeling wide awake and better than before. 1, 2, prepare to open your eyes, 3, open eyes, 4, 5, eyes open, wide awake, feeling better than before. You will establish two routines, then one for going to your level, the other for coming out of it if you change the routine you will have to learn to use your new version just as you learn to use the first one. This is useless work, once you have learned to reach your level with the 5 to 1 method in the morning you are ready to enter your level any time of day that you choose. All you need is 10 or 15 minutes to spare, because you will be entering your level from beta rather than the 32 divided by the silver mind control method. Might level of alpha, a little extra training will be needed. Sit in a comfortable chair or on a bed with your feet flat on the floor.  If you prefer, sit cross-legged in the lotus position. Hold your head well balanced, not slumped. Now concentrate on first one part of the body, then another to consciously relax it. Start with your left foot, then the left leg, then the right foot, and so on, until you reach the throat, the face, the eyes, and finally the scalp. Now pick a spot about 45 degrees above eye level on the ceiling or the wall opposite you, gaze at this spot until your eyelids begin to feel a little heavy, and let them close. Start your countdown from 50 to 1.  Once you reach your level, what then? What do you think about? Right from the beginning, from the very first moment you reach your meditative level, practice visceralization. This is central to mind control. The better you learn to visualize, the more powerful will be your experience with mind control. The first step is to create a tool for visualization, a mental screen. It should be like a large movie screen but should not quite fill your mental vision. Imagine it not behind your eyelids but about 6 feet in front of you. You will project onto this screen whatever you choose to concentrate on. Later there will be other uses for it. Once you have built this screen in your mind, pro, how to meditate at 33. Here onto it's something familiar and simple, like an orange or an apple. Each time you go to your level, stay with just one image. You may change it the next time. Concentrate on making it more and more real, in 3 dimensions, in full color, in all its details. Think of nothing else.  It lurches willy-nilly from one thing to another. It is surprising how little command we have over this brain of ours, despite the fine work it sometimes does for us.  This brain is too powerful, far too powerful, to leave out of control. Once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see. In the meantime, be patient with this simple exercise. Using your mind, train your brain to go quietly into alpha and to attend exclusively to the job of creating a simple image more and more vividly. In the beginning, as thoughts intrude, be gently forgiving. Slowly push them away and return to the single object at hand. Becoming irritated or tense will bring you right out of alpha. This, then, is meditation as it is widely practiced throughout the world. If you do this and nothing else, you will experience what William Wordsworth called a happy stillness of mind, and more, a deep and durable inner peace. This will come as an exciting experience as you reach deeper levels of mind. Then you will take it more and more for granted, and the excitement why age pass. When this happens, many dropout they forget that this is not a trip for its own sake, but the first step in what may well be the most important journey they have ever taken. Chapter 4 Dynamic Meditation The passive meditation yon have just read about can be accomplished in other ways. Instead of concentrating on a visual image, you can concentrate on a sound, such as arm or one or amen, uttered aloud or mentally, or tight feeling of your breathing. You can focus on an energy point of the body or on the beat of drums and dance, or you can listen to a sonorous Gregorian chant while you gaze at the familiar enactment of a religious ritual ale of these methods, and some combinations of man will bring you to a calm meditative level of mind. I prefer counting backward to get you there, because at first it takes some concentration, and concentration is the key to success. Once you have reached your level several times with this method, the method will be associated in your mind with the successful result, and the process will become more automatic. Every successful result in mind control becomes what we call a reference point nine. We heart back to the experience consciously, or unconsciously. Repeat it, and go on from there. Once you have reached the meditative level, to simply stay there and wait for something to happen is not. 34. Dynamic meditation divided by 35 enough. It is beautiful and calming, and it does contribute to your good health. But these are modest AC accomplishments compared with what is possible. Go beyond this passive meditation, train your mind for organized, dynamic activities, which I believe it was, designed for, and the results will amaze you. I make this point now because this is the moment for us to go beyond the passive meditation technique you have just read about, and learn to use meditation dynamically to solve some problems. You will now see why the simple exercise of visualizing an apple, or whatever else you choose, on a mental screen is so important. Now, before you go to your level, think of something pleasant, no matter how trivial, that happened yesterday or today.  What were the sights, the smells, the sounds, and your feelings at that time? All the details. You will be surprised at the difference between your beta memory of the incident, and your alpha recall of it. It is almost as great as the difference between saying the word swim and actually swimming. What is the value of this? First, it is a stepping stone to something bigger, and second, it is useful in itself. Here is how you can use it. Think of something you own that is not lost but would take a little searching to find. Your car keys, perhaps. Are they on your bureau, in your pocket, in the car? If you are not sure, go to your level. Think back to when you had them last, and relive that moment. Now proceed forward in time, and you will locate them if they are where you left them. Imagine the student who remembers his instructor. 36 divided by the silver mind control method saying there will he in exam 10s Wednesday, or did he say next Wednesday? He can settle it for himself in alpha. These are typical of the small, everyday problems that this simple meditational technique can solve. Now for a giant leap forward. If you operate according to some very simple laws, the imaginary event will become real. Laws you must desire that the event take place. The first person I see on the sidewalk tomorrow will be blowing his nose is so useless a project to work on that your mind will turn away from it. It will probably not work. Your boss will be more agreeable, and certain customer will be more receptive to what you are selling. You will find satisfaction in a task you ordinarily find disagreeable. These are prospects that can engage a reasonable measure of desire. While two seconds you must believe the event can take place. If your customer is overstocked with what you see, you cannot reasonably believe he will be eager to buy. While three seconds you must expect the event to take place. This is a subtle long. The first two are simple and past side. This third one introduces some dynamics. It is possible to desire an event. Believe it can take place and still not expected to take place.  But you may still be some distance from expecting it. This is where mind control and effective visualization come in. As we will see in a moment. Ma 4 seconds you cannot create a problem. Not may not. Dynamic meditation I 37 but cannot. This is a basic all controlling law.  When you are working dynamically in alpha, you are in touch with higher intelligence. And from the perspective of higher intelligence, it would not be great at all.  But you will be entirely on your own and in beta. Simply will not work if at your meditative level, you try to tune into some kind of intelligence that will assist in an evil design. It will be as fruitless as trying to tune a radio to a station that does not exist. Some accuse me of being a poyanna on this point. Thousands of people have smiled indulgently as I spoke of the utter impossibility of doing harm in alpha until they learned for themselves. There is plenty of evil on this planet and we humans perpetrate more than our share of it. This is done in beta, not alpha, not theta, and probably not in delta. My research has proved this. I never recommend wasting time. But if you must prove this for yourself, go to your level and try to give someone a headache. If you visualize this event as vividly as necessary to accomplish anything at all, one or both of the following will result. You, not your intended victim, will get the headache and or you will snap out of alpha. This does not answer all the questions you may have. About the good and evil potentials of the mind, there will be more to say later for the moment. Choose an event that is a solution to a problem that you desire, believe can come about with the following exercer. Size will learn to expect. Here is what to do. 38 divided by the silver mind control method. As an illustration, let us say that your boss has been ill-tempered lately. There are three steps to go through once you reach your level.  Thoroughly recreate a recent event which involved the problem. Relive it for a moment. Step two seconds gently push this scene off the screen to the right. Slide onto the screen another scene that will take place tomorrow. In this scene everyone around the boss is cheerful and the boss is on the receiving end of good news. He is clearly in a better mood now. Jaian knows specifically what was causing the problem. Visualize the solution at work. Visualize it as vividly as you did the problem. Step three seconds now push this scene off the screen to the right and replace it with another from the left the boss is happy now. Fully as pleasant as you know he can be. Experience this scene as vividly as if it had ac to Lee happen. Stay with it for a while. Get the full feel of it. Now at the count of five you will be wide awake feeling better than before. You can be confident that you have just put forces to work for you in the direct jaian of creating the event you want. Will this work always invariably without a hitch? No however here is what you will experience if you keep at it. One of your very earliest problem solving meditation sessions will work. When it does who can say it was not a coincidence. After all the event you chose had to be probable enough for you to believe it can materialize. Then it will work a second time and a third. The coincidences will pile up. Abandon your mind control activities and there will be fewer coin. Dynamic meditation at 39 sidances. Feel back to it and the coincidences multiply. Again further as you gradually increase your skill you will notice that you will be able to believe and expect events that are less and less probable. In time with practice the results you achieve will be more and more astounding. As you work on each problem begin by briefly reliving your best previous successful experience. When an even better successful experience comes along drop the earlier one and use the better one as your reference point. This way you will become better and better to use a phrase with an especially rich meaning for all of us in mind control. Tim Masters a college student taxi driver in Fort Lee New Jersey uses his waiting time between fares for meditation. When local business is slow he puts a solution on his mental screen. Someone carrying suitcases who wants to go to Kennedy airport. First few times I tried it. Then it happened a man with suitcases going to Kennedy. Next time I put this man on my screen got that feeling you get when things are working and along came another one for Kennedy. It works.  Before we move on to other exercises and techniques let me take note of something you probably wonder about. Why do we move scenes from left to right on our mental screens? I can take note of the question here but it will be dealt with in more detail later. My experiments have shown that the deeper levels of our minds experience time flowing from left to right. In other words, the future is perceived as being on our left the past on our right. It is tempting to go into tins now but there are other things to do beforehand. Chapter 5 Improving Memory The memory techniques taught in mind control can reduce our use of telephone directories and tremendously impress our friends. Perhaps some mind control graduates do use their skills for remembering telephone numbers but as I said in the previous chapter desire is important in making things work and my desire to remember phone numbers is something less than spirited. If I had to cross town every tune I needed a telephone number my desire would perk up. It is basically unsound to use mind control techniques for anything but important matters because of that desire, belief, expectancy trilogy but how many of us have memories as efficient as we would like. Yours may already be improving in unexpected ways if you have mastered the techniques described in the previous two chapters. Your new ability to visualize and recreate past events while Yon are in alpha has a certain carry over to beta. So without any special effort your mind may be working in new ways for you. Still there is room for improvement. In mind control classes we have a special visual as a Tian exercise. In this exercise the lecturer writes numbers from 1 to 30 on a blackboard. Then the 40 improving memory I41 students call out the names of objects. Snowball, roller skate, earplug whatever comes to mind. He writes each word opposite a number turns away from the blackboard and recites them in order. Students call out any word and the lecturer gives the corresponding number. The lecturer has already memorized a word for each number. Thus each number evokes a visual image of its corresponding word. We call these images memory pegs. When a student calls out a word the lecturer combines it in some meaningful or fanciful way with the image he has associated with. The words number. The memory peg for 10 is toes. If a student offers snowball as the 10th word the resulting image may be a snowball on your toes. This is not difficult for a mind trained in visualization. The students begin to learn the memory pegs by being at their level while the lecturer slowly repeats them. Then when they later undertake to memorize them in beta the job is easier because the words seem familiar. You already have a powerful technique for improving your visualization and your memory at the same time. The mental screen. Anything you believe you have forgotten is associated with an event if it is a name. The event is the time you heard or read it. All that you have to do once you learn to work with your mental screen is visualize a past event that surrounds an incident you believe you have forgotten and it will be there. I say an incident you believe you have forgotten because in reality you have not forgotten it at all. You simply do not recall it there is a significant difference. 42 divided by the silver mind control method. The world of advertising offers us a familiar illustrator on of the difference between memory and recall. We all see television commercials. There are so many of them and they are so brief that if we were asked to list five or 10 that we saw during the past week we would be able to cite only three or four at the most. A major way in which advertising creates sales is by causing us to remember a product below the level of awareness. It is doubtful that we ever really forget anything. The more vivid the image and the more important it is to us the more easily we recall it. An electoral gently touching an exposed brain during surgery will trigger a long forgotten event in all its details. So vividly that the sounds and smells and sights are actually experienced. This of course is the brain being touched not the mind. This is the mind at work the super observer the interpreter and no electrode has ever touched at the mind unlike the tip of our nose does not exist in a specific place to return to memory. You will not remember or recall this event because you did not experience it nor is it important to you. However, our brains record far more events than we realize. As you sit reading this book you are going through thousands of experiences of which you are not aware to the extent that you are concentrating now you are unaware of them. There are sounds and odors sights in the corner of your eye perhaps the small discomfort of improving memory divided by 43 a shoe that is too tight the feel of your chair the temperature of the room there seems to he no end. We are conscious of these sensations but not aware of being conscious of them which seems like a contradiction until we consider the case of a woman under general anesthesia during the course of her pregnancy this woman had developed an excellent rapport with her obstetrician between the two there was friendship and confidence came time for her delivery and she went routinely under general anesthesia and gave birth to a healthy baby. Neither she nor her physician could account for her changed attitude and both were eager to find some explanation for it they decided to try through hypnosis to uncover some hidden memory that might explain her sudden change under hypnosis she was led through time regression from her most recent experience with her physician back to earlier ones they did not have far to go in a deep trance instead of skipping over the period when she was unconscious in the delivery room she recounted everything the doctor and nurses had said what they said in the presence of the anesthetized patient was at times clinically detached at other times humorous and at other times they expressed annoyance at the slow progress of her delivery she was a thing not a person her feelings were not considered after all she was unconscious wasn't she I question whether it is possible ever to be unconscious we either can or cannot recall what we experience but we are always experiencing and all experience says leave memories firmly printed on the brain does this mean that with the memory techniques you 44 divided by the silver mind control method are about to learn you will be able 10 years from now to recall the number of this page you may not have looked at it but it is there you saw it out of the corner of your eye so to speak perhaps but probably not it is not and probably never will be important to you but can you recall the name of that attractive person you met at dinner last week when you first heard the name the hearing of it was an event you need simply recreate the surrounding event on your mental screen as I have explained and you will hear the name again relax go to your level create the screen experience the event this takes 15 or 20 minutes though we have another way a sort of emergency method which will take you instantly to a level of mind where recall of information will be easier this method involves a simple triggering mechanism which once it becomes really yours improves in effectiveness as you use it making it yours will require several meditation sessions to thoroughly internalize the procedure here is how simple it is just bring together the thumb and first two fingers of either hand and your mind will instantly adjust to a deeper level try it now and nothing will happen it is not yet a trick during mechanism to make it one go to your level and say to yourself whenever I join my fingers together like this now join them for a serious purpose I will instantly reach this level of mind to accomplish whatever I desire do this daily for about a week always using the same words soon there will be a firm association in your mind between joining the thumb and two fingers and instantly reaching an effective meditation level try harder and it will even more stubbornly refuse to come the will is not only useless it is a improving memory I-45 hindrance now relax realize that you remember and that you have a way of triggering recall a teacher of fourth graders in Denver uses the man towel screen and the three fingers technique to teach spelling to test them instead of going from one word to another and asking for the correct spelling she asks the students to write down all the words they studied that week they remember the words and how to spell them with their three fingers together seeing them on their mental screens the slower ones she says take about 15 minutes with the test using the same technique she teaches these fourth graders the multiplication table up to the 12s by November Tins normally takes an entire school year Tim Masters the college student taxi driver Mantian I of the last chapter often gets passengers who want to go to addresses in neighboring towns where he has been so long ago that his memory of how to get there has dimed not many hurry passengers would understand if he went into meditation before starting off but with his three fingers together he relives the last time he drove there before he took mind control Tim's grades at New York Institute of Technology were all B's and one and now FM a scholar all A's and one B he reports he uses speed learning when he studies you will read about Tins in the next chapter and he takes exams with his three fingers together there are other uses for this three fingers technique which you will read about later it has been associated with other meditative disciplines for centuries the next time you see a painting or sculpture of a far eastern person a yogi perhaps sitting cross-legged in meditation notice that the three fingers of his hands are similarly joined chapter six speed learning when you learn the memory techniques in the last chapter you will be well on your way to our next step speed learning briefly this is how you will progress you will learn to enter the meditative level then at that level to create a mental screen which is useful for various purposes one of which is to recall information then as a shortcut you will learn the three fingers technique for among other things instant recall once you have accomplished this you will be ready for new ways of acquiring information making recall even easier equally important these new ways of learning will not only make recall easier but will both speed up and deepen your understanding of what you learn there are two learning techniques let's start with the simpler though not necessarily the easier the three fingers technique once it is so thorough line mastered that you can instantly reach your level and operate consciously there can be used while you listen to a lecture or read a book this will vastly improve concentration and information will be implanted more firmly later you will be able to recall it more easily at the beta level and more easily still at the alpha level a student writing an exam with his three fingers together 46 speed learning i 47 can almost see the textbook he read almost hear the instructor as he discussed the lesson in class the other technique is not as simple but you will be ready for it earlier in your practice of mind control it has all the effectiveness of learning at the alpha level plus the added reinforcement of learning at beta you will need a tape recorder for this let us say that you have a complex chapter of a textbook to learn you must not only remember but understand it during the first step do not go into alpha but remain an outer consciousness beta read the chapter loud into the recorder now go to your level play it back and concentrate on your own voice as it recites the material at an early stage of your mind control particularly if you are not too familiar with the machine you are using you may flip back to beta when you push the playback button and find that the sound of the tape will make it more difficult to return to alpha by the time you do return you will have missed part or all of the lesson with practice this is less likely to happen here are a few tips go to your level with your finger already on the button this will prevent your having to search for it with your eyes open have someone else press the playback for you when you give the signal use the three fingers technique to speed up your re-entry into alpha the problem may appear more serious than it is in fact it may actually be an indication of your progress as you become more adept the alpha level itself will begin to feel different it will feel more and more like beta because you will be learning to use it consciously 48 divided by the silver mind control method being wide awake with full mental effectiveness while at alpha is a special feature of mind control as you progress and recapture the earlier feeling of being at alpha you are really going to a deeper level perhaps theta in mind control classes I have often seen graduates operating effectively at a deep level with eyes open fully as awake as you are now speaking clearly asking and answering questions cracking jokes back to your tape recording for added reinforcement let some time pass several days if possible then read the material again at beta and play it back in alpha the information will now be firmly yours if you are working with others and learning mind control with this book you may exchange tapes in a sort of division of labor to save time this works perfectly well though there is a slight advantage to listening to your own voice speed learning and the three fingers technique have proved to be valuable time avers for mind control graduates in a number of fields sales academic study teaching law and acting to name just a few a successful Canadian life insurance agent no longer exasperates his clients by riffling through the papers in his briefcase to find answers to their questions about complex estate and tax problems the tremendous array of facts he needs are on the tip of his tongue thanks to speed learning and his three fingers a trial lawyer in Detroit has liberated himself from notes when he sums up a complex case to a jury he records his summation and listens to it in alpha the night before then again early the next morning later when he stands confidently before the jurors he maintains reassuring eye contact with them the result is that he speaks more persuasively than if he were con speed learning i 49 suiting notes and no one notices what he does with the three fingers of his left hand a new york nightclub comedian changes his routine every day he comments on the news an hour before showtime he listens to a tape of himself and he is ready with 20 minutes of spontaneous hi humor i used to cross my fingers hoping for the best now i joined three fingers and i know what's going to happen lots of laughs speed learning and the three fingers technique of course are ideal for students one reason why mind control has so far been taught in 24 colleges and universities 16 high schools and eight grade schools thanks to these techniques thousands of students are studying less and learning more chapter seven creative sleep how free we are when we dream the barriers of times the limitations of space die laws of logic the constraints of conscience are all swept away and we are gods of our own fleeting creations because what we create is uniquely ours froy placed central importance on our dreams understand the man's dreams he seemed to say and you understand the man in mind control we take dreams seriously too but in a different way because we lean to use our minds in different ways froy dealt with dreams mat we create spontaneously not mind control our interest is in deliberately creating dreams to solve specific problems because we program their subject matter beforehand we interpret them differently with spectacular results though this limits the spontaneity of our dreaming experiences we gain a significant freedom greater control over our lives when we interpret a dream which we program in addition to gaining insights into the pathology of our psyche is we find solutions to everyday problems there are three steps to the dream control we teach all involving a meditational level of mind the first is to learn to recall our dreams many say Tito dream at all but that is never true we may 50 creative sleep at 51 not recall our dreams but we all dream take away our dreams and in a few days mental and emotional troubles set in when I began investigating the possible usefulness of dreams in problem solving back in 1949 I was not at all sure what I would find I have heard as you have many stories of premonitions occurring in dreams Caesar as we all know was warned in a dream about the IDs of March the very day as it turned out when he was assassinated and Lincoln to dream premonitions of his assassination if these dreams and many others like them were unrepeatable accidents then I was wasting my time at one point I became strongly convinced that I was wasting my time I have been studying psychology Freud Adler Jung for about four years and it began to appear that the more I studied the less I knew it was about 2 a.m. I tossed my book to the floor and went to bed determined to waste no more time on useless projects like studying the giants who disagreed even among themselves from now on it would be my electronics business and nothing else I was neglecting it and money was short about two hours later I was awakened by a dream it was not a series of events like most dreams but simply a light my field of dream vision was filled with midday sunlight gold very bright I opened my eyes and it was dark in my shadowy bedroom I closed my eyes and it was bright again I repeated this several times eyes open dark eyes closed bright about the third or fourth time my eyes were closed I saw three numbers three four three then another set of numbers three seven three and the next time the first set came back and the time after that the second set I was less interested in the six numbers than in there 52 divided by the silver mind control method might which began to fade little by little I wondered if life came to an end like an electric bulb in the sudden flash of light when I realized I was not dying I wanted to bring the light back to study it I changed my breathing my position in bed my level of mind nothing works it continued to fade altogether the light lasted about five minutes perhaps the numbers had a meaning I lay awake the rest of the night trying to recall telephone numbers addresses license numbers anything that might give meaning to those numbers today I have an effective way of finding out what dreams mean but in those days I was still in the early stages of research the following day tired as I was after only two hours sleep I kept trying to connect the numbers to something I already knew now I must recount some trivial incidents which led to the unraveling of the mystery and then to an important part of the mind control course 15 minutes before closing time at my electronics shop a friend dropped in to suggest we go out for coffee while he waited for me my wife came by and said as long as you're going for coffee why not go over to the Mexican side and pick up some rubbing alcohol for me near the bridge there is a store where rubbing alcohol is cheaper on the way I told my friend about the dream and while I was telling him an idea occurred to me maybe what I saw was a lottery ticket number we drove past a store which was headquarters for the Mexican lottery but it was closing time and the shades were already pulled down no matter it was a silly idea anyway and we drove a block farther to buy the alcohol for my wife as the salesman wrapped the alcohol for me my creative sleep at 53 friend called from another part of the store what was that number you were looking for 373 343 I said come look there was half a ticket with 343 on it throughout the Republic of Mexico each of the hun threads of thousands of vendors like this little store receives tickets with the same first three numbers every month this store was the only one in the entire nation which sold number 343 the number 373 was sold in Mexico City a few weeks later I learned that my half of the first lottery ticket I ever bought had $10,000 which I sorely needed as elated as I was I looked this gift horse carefully in the mouth and what I found was more valuable by far than the gift itself it was founded tian for a solidly based conviction that my studies were worthwhile somehow I had made contact with higher intelligence maybe I had made contact with it many times before and not known this time I knew consider the number of seemingly chance events that led to this in a moment of despair I dreamed of a number in so startling away with the light that I had to recall it then a friend dropped in to invite me for coffee and tired as I was I accepted my wife came by and asked me to bring rubbing alcohol which led me to the only place in Mexico where that particular ticket was on sale anyone who thinks all this is just coincidence would be hard put to explain an amazing thoroughly checkable fact for mind control graduates in the United States using different techniques which I developed later also one lotteries they are Regina M. Fornecker of Rockford Illinois who won three hundred thousand dollars David Sikic of Chicago who won three hundred thousand dollars Francis Moroney of 54 divided by the silver mind control method Chicago who won fifty thousand dollars and John Fleming of buff follow New York who won fifty thousand dollars we have no objection to the word coincidence in mind control in fact we attach special meaning to it when a series of events that is hard to explain leads to a constructive result we call it coincidence when they lead to a destructive result we call it accident in mind control we learn how to trigger coincidences test the coincidence is a phrase we do not use my lottery winning dream convinced me of the existence of higher intelligence and of its ability to communicate with me that it did so while I was asleep and profoundly disturbed about my life's work is not at all remarkable as I see it now thousands of others have received information in their dreams in some paranormal way when they were in despair or danger or at turning points in their lives many such dreams are recorded in the bible however at the time the fact that it happened to me seemed like nothing less than a miracle I remembered from my readings that Floyd said sleep creates favorable conditions for telepathy to account for my dream I had to go further and say that sleep creates favorable conditions for receiving information from higher intelligence then I went still further and wondered if we had to be like someone waiting passively for the telephone to ring did we not dial the number ourselves to communicate with higher intelligence on our own initiative as a religious person I reason that if we can reach God through prayer surely we can develop a method for reaching higher intelligence creative sleep I 55 yes my experiments show that we can reach higher intelligence in several ways one of them is dream control which is very simple and easily learned John cannot count on bright lights to help you recall dreams but you can count on the cumulative effect of programming yourself while at your level to remember them while meditating just before going to sleep say I want to remember a dream I will remember a dream now go to sleep with paper and pencil by your bedside when you awaken whether during the night or in the morning write down what you remember of a dream keep practicing this night after night and your recall will be clearer more complete when you are satisfied with your improved skill you are ready for step two during meditation before going to sleep review a problem that can be solved with information or advice be sure that you really care about solving it silly questions evoke silly answers now program yourself with these words I want to have a dream that will contain information to solve the problem I have in mind I will have such a dream remember it and understand it when you awaken during the night or in the morning review the dream you recall most vividly and search it for meaning as I mentioned earlier our method of dream interpretation must be different from the Freudian one because we deliberately generate dreams therefore if you happen to be familiar with Freudian dream interpretation forget about it for the purposes of mind control imagine what Freud would make of this dream a man was in a jungle surrounded by savages they were coming menacingly close to him their spears rising then descending each spear had a hole in the tip when he awoke he saw this dream as the answer to a 56 divided by the silver mind control method problem that had had him stymied how to design a sewing machine he could make the needle rise and descend but not so until his dream told him to put the hole at the dp the man was Elias Howe who invented the first practical sewing machine a mind control graduate credits dream control with saving his life on the eve of a seven-day motorcycle trip he programmed a dream to warn him beforehand of any particular danger he might face most previous long trips have been marked by small mishaps a flat tire once another time dirt in the fuel line and on his last trip unforeseen snow he dreamed he was at dye home of a friend for dinner he was served a heaping platter of raw string beans while everyone else enjoyed a delicious quiche Lorraine did this mean he was to avoid eating raw string beans on the trip there was little danger of this since he disliked string beans particularly raw ones did it mean he was no longer welcome at his friend's home no he was confident of their friendship besides that had nothing to do with his motorcycle trip two days later he was speeding along the new york highway at dawn it was a beautiful morning the highway was in perfect condition and there was no traffic except for a small truck ahead as he neared the track he saw that it was loaded with bushels of string beans recalling his dream he slowed down from 65 to 25 then as he rounded a turn at 15 miles per hour his rear wheels skidded a little on the turn on some string beans that had spilled from the truck at a higher speed the skid would have been serious possibly fatal only you can interpret the dreams you decide to have with proper self-programming beforehand to understand your dreams you will have a hunch about their meaning the hunch is often the way are voiceless creative sleep divided by 57 subconscious communicates with us with practice you will develop more and more confidence in these programmed hunches the words i have suggested you use for self-programming are those we use in mind control classes other words will work too but in case you'll ever take a mind control course you will already be conditioned and will have a richer experience if you have implanted the exact words beforehand while at alpha to you will be patient with dream control and practice you will uncover one of your more priceless mental resources you would not reasonably expect to become a lottery winner it is in the nature of lotteries that very few win but it is in the nature of life that everyone can win much more than lotteries offer chapter eight your words of power by the introduction it was suggested that you not practice any of the exercises on first reading the following is an exception try it right now bring all of your imagination to bear on it let's consider the implications of this imagine that you are standing in your kitchen holding a lemon that you have just taken from the refrigerator it feels cold in your hand look at the outside of it it's yellow skin it is a waxy yellow and the skin comes to small green points at the two ends squeeze it a little and feel its firmness and its weight now raise the lemon to your nose and smell it nothing smells quite like a lemon does it now cut the lemon in half and smell it the odor is stronger now bite deeply into the lemon and let the juice swirl around in your mouth nothing tastes quite like a lemon either does it at this point if you have used your imagination well your mouth will be watering let's consider the implications of this words mere words affected your salivary glands the words did not even reflect reality but something 58 your words of power i 59 you imagined when you read those words about the lemon you were telling your brain you had a lemon though you did not mean it your brain took it seriously and said to your salivary glands this guy is biting a lemon hurry wash it away the glands obeyed most of us think the words we use reflect meanings and that what they mean can be good or bad true or false powerful or weak true but that is only half of it words do not just reflect reality they create reality like die flow of saliva the brain is no subtle interpreter of our intentions it receives information and stores it and it is in charge of our bodies tell it's something like i'm now eating a lemon and it goes to work now it is time for what in mind control we call mental house cleaning there is no exercise for this just a determination to be careful about what words we use to trigger our brains the exercise we did was a neutral one physically no good or harm came of it but good as well as harm can come from the words we use many children play a little game at dinner they describe the food they are eating in the most nauseating possible terms butter is mashed bugs to choose one of the less colorful ones i remember the object of the game is to pretend not to be nauseated by these new perspectives on food and to push someone else beyond his ability to pretend it often works with someone's appetite suddenly dulled as adults we often play this same game we dull our appetite for life with negative words and the words gathering power with repetition in turn create negative lives for which our appetites become dulled how are you 60 divided by the silver mind control method all can't complain or no use complaining or not too bad how does the brain respond to these dreary views is it a pain in the neck to do the dishes is it one big headache to balance your checkbook are you sick and tired of the weather we are having i am convinced that proctologists owe a large part of their income to the words we use remember the brain is no subtle interpreter it says this guy's asking for a headache okay one headache coming up of course every time that we say something gives us a pain a pain does not immediately result the body's natural state is good health and all its processes are geared toward health in time though with enough verbow pounding away at its defenses it delivers up the very illnesses we order two things add power to the words we use our level of mind and our degree of emotional involvement with what we say my god that hurts spoken with conviction offers warm hospitality to pain i can't get a damn thing done around here set with deep feeling becomes a truth which adds seeming validity to the feeling mind control offers effective defenses against our own bad habits at alpha and theta our words have enormously increased power in earlier chapters you have seen how with amazingly simple words you can preprogram dreams and transfer from words to your three fingers the power to take you into alpha i never laughed at a meal kufi though in these sophisticated times many do he is famous for a sentence which nowadays evokes laughter as reliably as the punchline of a joke day by day in every way i am getting better and better these words have cured thousands of persons of grimly serious illnesses they your words of power i 61 are no joke i respect them and i regard dr coup s with ought and gratitude for i have learned priceless lessons from his book self mastery to auto suggestion dr coup was a chemist for almost 30 years in troyes france where he was bomb after studying and experimenting with hypnosis he developed the psychotherapy of his own based on auto suggestion in 1910 he opened a free clinic in nancy where he successfully treated thousands of patients some with rheumatism severe headaches asthma paralysis of a limb others with stammering tuber killer sores fibrous tumors and ulcers an amazing variety of afflictions he never cured anyone he said he taught them to cure themselves there is no doubt that the cures occurred they are well documented but the coup six method has almost entirely disappeared since his death in 1926 had this method been so complex that only a few specialists could learn to practice it it might be alive and well today it is a simple method everyone can learn at the heart of it is in mind control there are two basic principles one we can think of only one thing at a time and two when we concentrate on the thought the thought becomes true because our bodies transform it into ac tion therefore if you want to trigger your body's healing processes which may be blocked by negative thoughts just repeat 20 times in succession day by day in every way i am getting better and better do this twice a day and you are using the coup s method since my own research has shown that the power of words is greatly amplified at meditative levels i have 62 divided by the silver mind control method made some adaptations of this method at alpha and theta levels we say every day in every way i am getting better better and better we say it only once during meditation we also say and this too is dr coup six's influence negative thoughts negative sagas tions have no influence over me at any level of mind these two sentences alone have produced an impressed side number of concrete results of particular interest is the experience of a soldier who was suddenly shipped to indochina before he could complete more than the first day of the mind control course he remembered how to meditate and he remembered these two sentences he was assigned to the unit of an alcoholic sergeant with a fiery temper who singled out the new arrival for special abuse in a few weeks he began to awaken during the night with fits of coughing then with attacks of asthma which he had never had before an exhaustive medical examination showed that he was in perfect health meanwhile he grew more and more tired he began to perform poorly at his job and he attracted even more unpleasant attention from his sergeant others in his unit were turning to drugs he turned to mind control and these two sentences fortunately he was able to meditate three times a day in three days i had complete immunity to that sergeant i did what he told me to do but nothing he said could reach me in a week i stopped coughing and my asthma was gone if this had been told to me by a mind control gradoo eight i would have been pleased as i always am with success stories but not strongly impressed we have a number of more powerful techniques for self-healing which i will help you learn in later chapters what makes this man's experience particularly interesting is your words of power are 63 that he knew none of these techniques but used only the two sentences he learned that first day words are astonishingly powerful gvg 11 at levels of mind far deeper than we use in mind control the nurse anesthetist in oklahoma mrs g mabry puts this knowledge to use to help her patients as soon as they are under in deep anesthesia she whispers in their ears instructions that can speed their recovery in some cases save their lives during one operation when profuse bleeding would normally be expected the surgeon was amazed there was only a trickle mrs mabry had whispered tell your body not to bleed she did this before the first incision then about every 10 minutes during the operation during another operation she whispered when you awaken you will feel that everyone in your life loves you and you will love yourself this patient was cousing her surgeon's special concern she was a tense complaining woman to whom every pain was ominous an attitude that could slow down her recovery later as she awakened from the anesthetic there was a new expression on her face and three months later her surgeon told mrs mabry that this once anxious patient was transformed she had become relaxed and optimistic and quickly recovered from her operation mrs mabry's work illustrates three things that we teach in mind control first words have special power at deep levels of mind second the mind has much firmer command over the body than it is given credit for and third as i noted in chapter five we are always conscious how many parents brussely pop into a sleeping child's room quickly adjust the covers and leave when a pause for a few positive and loving words would help make the child more secure and calm during the day 64 divided by the silver mind control method so many mind control graduates report improvement in their health sometimes before they have even completed the course that i once found myself uncomfortably closed to being in trouble with the medical profession in my hometown some patients told their physicians that we had cured their health problems and the physicians complained to the district attorney he investigated and found that we were not practicing medicine as the doctors feared fortunately it is not illegal for mind control to be good for the health or there would be no mind control organization today chapter nine the power of imagination will power needs an enemy to overcome before it reaches its goal it tries to be tough and like most toughies fd becomes a cream puff when the going gets rocky there is a gentler easier way to shock bad habits imagination imagination seizes directly on the goal it gets what it wants this is why in earlier chapters i placed so much emphasis on your learning true to life visualization at deep levels of mind if you spur your imagination with belief desire and expectancy and train it to visualize your goals so that you see feel here taste and touch team you will get what you want when the will and the imagination are in conflict it is always the imagination that wins row a meal coup six if you think you want to give up a bad habit chances are you are deceiving yourself if you really wanted to give it up it would fade away on its own what you should want more than the habit itself is the benefit of giving it up once you learn to want that benefit strong lie enough you will become free of the unwanted habits thinking about your habit and firmly resolving to give it up may bind you more tightly to it it is a little 65 66 divided by the silver mind control method like firmly resolving to go to sleep be very firmness of your resolve can keep you awake now let's see how you this can be made to work for you as examples i will use two habits which mind control graduates overcome most successfully overeating and smoking if you want to lose weight your first step is to reason out the problem at the outer level is your problem overeating under exercising or both it may very well not be overeating but eating the wrong foods a diet of foods more suitable to your particular needs may be the answer your physician would know why do you want to lose weight are you so fat that your health is impaired or do you simply feel that a slimmer you would be more attractive either provides a good reason for losing weight but you must know beforehand how you expect to profit from the weight plus if you already eat the right foods in modest amounts if you get as much exercise as you reasonably can and you are only slightly overweight my advice would be unless your physician says otherwise to live with it i do the alternative is an unnecessary disruption for you besides there are probably bigger problems and more important opportunities in your life to put your mind control to work on jiayu are sure that you really want to lose weight and you know why your next step is to analyze all the benefits you will derive not general benefits like 111 look better but concrete ones involving if possible all the five senses example sites find a photograph of yourself when you were as thin as you would like to be now the power of imagination i 67 touch imagine when yon are thin again how smooth their arms and thighs and stomach will feel to your touch taste imagine the flavors of the foods you will m faciles in your new diet smells imagine the odor of the foods you will be eating hearings imagine what those who are important to you will say about your success at losing weight even t five senses are not enough for a thorough visualization emotions are important to imagine how elated and confident you will feel when you are as thin as you want to be with all this firmly in mind go to your level create your mental screen and project onto it a visualization as you are now now let it disappear in from the left slide on an image of yourself as you ultimately want to be and will be when the diet succeeds while you mentally gaze at the new you imagine in as much detail as you can what it will feel like to be this thin how will it feel when you bend over to tie your shoelaces walk upstairs fit into clothing that is now too small walk on a beach in a bathing suit take your time and feel all this go through the five senses one at a time as described above how will your ads continue toward yourself feel as a result of achieving this goal now mentally review your new diet not just what you will eat but how much and select a few between meal snacks raw carrot or whatever tell yourself that this is all the food your body will need and that it will not send you humber pangs as a way of asking for more this is the end of your meditation repeat it twice a day 68 divided by the silver mind control method notice that not once during your meditation was here any image or thought of the foods you should not eat you eat too much of them because you like them the mere thought of them will make your imagination lurch in unwanted directions hollywood actress alexis smith was quoted by the san jose mercury news as saying positive thinking works beautifully on a reducing diet never think once about what you are giving up but concentrate on what you are getting she is often told that she is more attractive now than when she made some of the water brothers movies now showing on tv she attributes much of this to mind control the big difference she is quoted as saying is that now i'm in better balance and more in control of myself in your weight loss program be sure to select a reassemble target for weight reduction otherwise you will destroy the believability of your project if you are 50 pounds overweight you cannot reasonably believe you will look like audrey headburn or mark spits next week to visualize this will do little good old body messages may come through the first few days to remind you of the delights of a candy bar during your busy day when you may be unable to meditate take a deep breath put your three fingers together and remind yourself in the same words you use during meditation that your diet is all your body needs and that you will not have hummer pangs a quick glance at an old photograph of yourself as you would like to be again will be helpful as you progress with your mind control in this and other areas your total mental state will improve and this in turn will contribute in important ways to better functioning of your body with a little mental nudging it will more gladly seek its proper weight there are a number of variations on this technique the power of imagination divided by 69 that you can use they may occur to you during medita ti'an one man a factory worker in omeha said to himself during his meditations i will desire and eat only those foods good for my body suddenly he found a new interest in salads and vegetable juices and a fading interest in high calorie foods result he lost 40 pounds in four months a woman in aims iowa used the same technique a few days later she bought some donuts three for her children and three for their friends i completely forgot to buy any for myself i almost cried mind control was working a farmer in mason city iowa bought a 150 suit which to say the least was a poor fit he could neither draw up the trousers nor button the jacket the salesman thought i was crazy he said but with the mental screen technique he lost 45 pounds in four months and now the suit looks tailor made for me not all the results are this spectacular in fact not all of them should be however caroline disander of denver and jim williams who is in charge of mind control activities in the colorado area launched an experimental program which shows the reliability of mind control techniques for those who genuinely want to lose weight she organized a workshop for 25 mind control graduates to meet once a week for a month among the 15 who attended all the meetings the average weight loss was a little more than 4 pounds all lost weight a month later she checked with these 15 and learned that seven had continued to lose weight and eight were holding steady mana gained weight this was not only a painless experience for these graduates it was a joyous one caroline reports not only did they lose weight with no hunger pangs or any 70 divided by the silver mind control method other discomfort but they reinforced many mind control acquired skills the average weight loss was about what it would have been had they taken one of the more successful weight reduction courses caroline herself had been a lecturer for one of these courses for a year and a half and was assistant food director of the swedish medicow center in denver she knows about proper nitri to on and weight control she plans to continue this workshop and to develop another one for smokers smoking is so serious a habit that if you are a smoker the time to start becoming a former smoker is now as with weight reduction we will take this in easy stages giving your body plenty of time to lean to obey a totally new kind of instruction from your mind there is no need for reviewing at the outer level why you should stop the melancholy reasons are familiar enough what you need is a list of benefits which you later make so vivid that you will want to stop you will have more vitality your physical senses will be sharper and you will save your life more fully you know better than i a non-smoker what you will gain go to your level and see yourself on their mental screen in the situation where you normally smoke your first cigarette of the day visualize yourself fully at ease from that moment until the end of an hour doing everything you would normally do except smoking if for example the hour is 7 30 to 8 30 a.m say to yourself i am now and will remain a former smoker from 7 30 to 8 30 a.m i enjoy being a former smoker during this hour it is easy and i'm used to it continue this exercise until you are really fully at ease at the outer level with your first hour of freedom from cigarettes now for the next hour and soon then the power of imagination i 71 third and so on take this slowly pushing too fast may lead to punishing your own body which is hardly fair since your mind not your body introduce the habit in the first place let your mind do the work through imagination here are a few hints to speed up the day of complete liberation change brands frequently during the hours when you are not yet a former smoker ask yourself each time you reach for a cigarette do i really want this one now with surprising frequency the answer is no wait until you really want it if during one of your liberated hours your body intrudes with an apparent need for a smoke take a deep breath put your three fingers together and using the same words you use in meditation remind yourself that you are and will remain a non-smoker during this hour in controlling the smoking habit you can add other techniques to this basic method a pack in a half a day smoker for eight years an Omaha man visualized an alpha all the cigarettes he'd ever smoked a great heap of them then he put them in an incinerator and burned them next he imagined all the cigarettes he would smoke in the future unless he stopped another great mound of them and he gleefully burned these two in the incinerator after having quit smoking many times in the past this time he gave up cigarettes for good after only one meditation no craving no overeating no side effects i cannot i regret to say report as much success with smoking as with weight reduction however i know of 72 divided by the silver mind control method enough graduates who have given up smoking and enough others who have reduced the amount they smoke to urge anyone who now smokes to put mind control to work on the habit chapter 10 using your mind to improve your health i spend about half my time traveling around this and other nations to address groups of mind control graduates in the course of a year i meet not hundreds but many thousands who report truly wonderful self healings these are now commonplace to me i think of them as wonderful in another sense i am filled with wonder that everyone has not caught on to the power of their minds over their bodies so many think of psychic healing as strange and esoteric yet what could be stranger and more esoteric than the powerful prescription drugs with their health threatening side effects in all my experience with psychic healing i have never experienced or seen or heard of a single harmful side effect medical research is finding out more and more about the relationship between the body and the mind of all the different seemingly unrelated research efforts there is a fascinating consistency about the findings the mind turns out to play a mysteriously powerful role if mind control were perfect i believe we would ale have perfect bodies all the time however it is an inescapable fact that we 73 74 divided by the silver mind control method already know enough to strengthen with our minds the body's repair forces so that illnesses can be combative more successfully even the simple methods of a meal coup six worked mind controls methods which include cows work even more powerfully obviously as you develop more skill in self healing you will require less medical attention however at this stage in the development of mind control and at this stage in your mastery of what we have developed it is far too early for the nation's physicians to go into retirement what you should do is consult them as you would normally and follow their advice what you can do is amaze them with the speed of a recovery someday they may wonder where you went many graduates report they use mind control in emergencies to reduce bleeding and pain example mrs donald wildoski was in texas on a convention trip with her husband according to the norwich connecticut bulletin she dived into a swimming pool and ruptured an eardrum we were miles from any town and i didn't want to make him leave in the middle of the convention she was quoted as saying so i went to an alpha state put my hand over my ear concentrated on the pain area and said gone gone gone the bleeding stopped immediately and the pain left when i finally got to adopt her he was speechless with amazement in self healing there are six fairly easy steps to take the first is to begin in beta to feel yourself becoming a loving person and to consider love as an end in itself this will probably require a pretty thorough mental house cleaning second go to your level this alone is a major step using your mind to improve your health i 75 towards self healing because as i mentioned much ear liar at this level the negative work of the mind all its guilt and anger is neutralized and the body is set free to do what nature designed it to do repair itself you may of course have very real feelings of guilt and anger but we have found that these will be experienced only at the outer or beta level and they tend to disap pair as you practice mind control third mentally speak to yourself about step one express your desire to achieve a thorough mental house cleaning to use positive words to think positive lie to become a loving forgiving person fourth mentally experience the illness that is true bling you use the mental screen and see and feel the illness this should be brief its purpose is simply to focus your healing energies where they are needed fifth quickly erase this image of your illness and experience yourself as completely cured feel the freedom and happiness of being in perfect health hold on to this image linger over it enjoy it and know that you deserve it know that now in this healthy state you are fully in tune with nature's intentions for you sixth reinforce your mental house cleaning once again and then by saying to yourself every day in every way i am getting better better and better how long should this take and how often should you do it my experience is that 15 minutes is about the best length of time go through this exercise as often as you can no less often than once a day there is no too much allow me to digress for a moment you may have heard that meditation is a fine thing but that you must be careful not to become so enchanted by it that you 76 divided by the silver mind control method do too much this it is said can lead to a withdrawal from the world and an unhealthy preoccupation with yourself whether this is true or not i do not know this is said of other meditative disciplines not mind control our emphasis is on involvement with the world not withdrawal from it not with transcending practical problems or ignoring them but with facing them head on and solving them you cannot do too much of this to return to self healing there is no end to step one practice it in beta alpha and theta live it if you feel it slipping during the day put your three fingers together for instant reinforcement many of our mind control centers publish newsletters for their graduates these are filled with reports from graduates on what mind control has done for them stories of how they control headaches asthma fatigue and high blood pressure are too numerous to count here is one which i select because the author is a practicing physician from the time i was about 11 i had migraine headaches at first they occurred aficionally and could be controlled but then as i grew older they became worse and finally i was having cluster headaches lasting three or four days with only a two-day interval between attacks a full blown migraine is devastating usually involving one side of the face and head the eyes feel as if they were being pushed out of their sockets the pain is vise like in the stomach turns somersaults the attack is sometimes relieved by a specific preparation a vasoconstricting drug which has to be taken at the onset while the pain is using your mind to improve your health divided by 77 tolerable once the headache has progressed for some time there is nothing that will relieve it except time i was getting to the point where i had to take the preparation every four hours and even then the relief was only partial so i went to a headache specialist who gave me a complete examination to be certain that i didn't have any physical or neurological abnormalities he gave me advice and treatment which i had already been practicing the headaches continued one of my patients was a mind control grad u8 and for about a year she been suggesting i go with her to mind control i always told her i didn't believe in that nonsense then one day i saw her on about the fourth day of a headache and i must have been looking green and she said isn't h about time you took mind control there's a new course starting next week why don't you come along with me i signed up for the course and went faithfully every single night and sure enough i didn't have a headache that week but a week after i finished the course i woke up with a terrible headache and a chance to see whether my programming would work i went through one cycle and counted out no headache felt great it was a miracle five seconds later the headache came back even worse i didn't give up so i did another cycle and the headache momentarily went away then came back again i had to go through about ten cycles but i kept it up and didn't take migraine medica tion i told myself i was going to do it and the headache finally did go away i didn't have a headache for a while but the next time three cycles relieved that i had headaches 78 divided by the silver mind control method off and on for about three months after that but i didn't even need to take an aspirin since i took mind control i haven't taken an aspirin it really works here is another from a nun sister barbara burns of detroit michigan i select this one because sister barbara has made ingenious use of her own triggering mechanism for 27 years she had worn glasses because of nearsighted astigmatism as her nearsightedness increased her lenses were made stronger which reduces distance acuity before the improvement of her eyesight bifocals became necessary then in july 1974 she decided to use mind control in deep meditation she told herself every time i blink my eyes they will focus accurately like the lens of a camera during each meditation she repeated this and in two weeks she began to live without glasses though she still needed them for reading she consulted dr richard w laudega an optometrist who told her that her cornea was slightly misshapen sister barbara inserted the cornea correction into her meditation for the few weeks interval before another examination by dr. w laudega the following is part of a letter to us from dr. w laudega which sister barbara asked him to write sister barbara burns was first examined by me on the 20th of august 1974 i examined sister burns again on the 26th of august 1975 she had not worn her glasses for one here patient has had a reduction in the amount of manifest myopia to a level where glasses have become unnecessary using your mind to improve your health i 79 of course the physician with migraine and sister barbara burns were not suffering from dread diseases of the kind we are trained to fear to mind control help if one of these should strike or must we simply take our medicine and wait for time to pass let us take a look at what is probably the most feared disease of all cancer you may have read about the work of dr. ocaro simondon a cancer specialist maryland ferguson described some of it in her recent popular book the brain revolution and in january 1976 prevention magazine published an article about him mind over cancer by grace howsell dr simondon who was trained in mind control techniques has successfully adapted some of these to treating his patients when he was in charge of radiation therapy at travis air force base near san francisco he studied a rare but well known phenomenon persons who for no reason known to medicine recovered from cancer these are known as spontaneous remissions and they constitute a very small percentage of all cancer patients if he could learn why these patients recovered dr simondon reason perhaps he could find a way to cause remissions to occur he found that these patients had something very important in common they were often positive optimistic determined people in an address at the boston convention of mind control in 1974 he said the biggest single emotional factor identified by investigators in the development of cancer in january is a significant loss six to 18 months prior to the diagnosis of the disease this has been shown in several long-term studies by independent investigators with control 80 divided by the silver mind control method groups we see that it is not just that loss that is a significant factor but it is the way that loss is received by the individual you see the loss has to be sufficient to cause a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness that persists on the part of the patient does it would seem that his basic resistance goes down allowing the malignancy to develop clinically in another study at travis air force base reported in the journal of transpersonal psychology dr simondon rated the attitudes of 152 cancer patients in five categories from strongly negative to strongly positive then he rated their responses to therapy from excellent to poor for 20 of these patients results of their treatment were excellent though the condition of 14 of them was so serious they would have had less than a 50% chance of living five years what tipped the balance was their positive attitudes at the other end of the scale 22 showed poor results from the treatment none of these had positive attitudes however when some of the more positive patients returned home there was a turnaround in their attitudes and we saw their disease change correspondingly clearly their attitudes rather than the severity of their illness played the stronger role dr elmer green of the menninger foundation was quoted by the journal vs editor as saying carl and stephanie simonton are hitting remarkable results in cancer control by coupling visualization for physiological self-regulation with traditional radiology in this boston speech dr simondon quoted the president of the american cancer society eugene pender grass who said in 1959 there is some evidence that vol 7 no 1 1975 using your mind to improve your health divided by 81 the course of disease in general is affected by emotional distress it is my sincere hope that we can widen the quest to include the distinct possibility that within one's mind is a power capable of exerting forces which can either enhance or inhibit the progress of tinn's disease dr simondon is now medical director of the cancer counseling and research center in fort worth where he and his co-therapist stephanie matthew simonton train patients to participate mentally in their own treatment you see i began with the idea that a patients at titu played a role in his response to any form of treatment and could influence the course of his disease as i explored this i found that mind control biofeedback and meditation concepts gave me a tool to use in teaching the patient how to begin the interaction and become involved with his own health process i would say that it is the most powerful single tool that i have to offer the patient emotionally one of the first steps dr simondon takes in training his patients is to banish fear once this education is begun we realize that cancer is a normal process going on in all of us that we have cancerous cells developing malignant degeneration all the time the body recognizes and destroys them the way it handles any foreign protein it is not simply a matter of getting rid of all the cancer cells because we develop cancer cells all the time it is getting the body back winning again handling its own processes dr simondon's address was followed by one from mrs simonton she said most people visualize a cancer cell as being a very ugly mean insidious thing that can sneak around and is very powerful once it gets started there is nothing the body can do in reality a 82 divided by the silver mind control method cancer cell is a normal cell mat has gone crazy it is a very stupid cell it reproduces so rapidly that many times it will encompass its own blood supply and starve itself it is weak you cut into it or radiate it or give it chemotherapy and if it gets sick at all it can't regain its health it dies now compare that to a healthy cell we know that in healthy tissue you can cut your finger and if you do nothing more than put a band aid on it it will heal itself we know that normal tissues can repair themselves they don't devour their own blood supply yet look at diamental image we have of those things you can see the power we ascribe to the disease by our fears and the mental imagery we use in our fears referring to the relaxation and visualization techniques they use along with radiation therapy mrs c monton said probably the single most valuable tool we have is the mental imagery technique there are three basic things we ask patients to do we ask them to visualize their disease visualize their treatment and to visualize the body's immune mechanism what we talk about is picturing what we want to come about before we believe it will come about it seems to be important to picture it that way one of the main things we talk about is the meditation how often are you meditating what are you doing in your meditation chapter 11 an intimate exercise for lovers in her address before the mind control group mrs simondon spoke of the many stresses in life which if not handled properly can lead to illness it is so uncommon in our patients for them to have a good marriage she said when there is a good marriage with a cancer patient it is one of the greatest things we have to work with one of the greatest reasons for them to stay alive what makes a good marriage i do not have all the answers my own marriage to paula is an extraordinarily good one it has been rich and interesting for 32 years but i do not thoroughly understand why perhaps not thoroughly understanding is part of what makes it good i say this so you will understand that i have no firsthand experience with unhappy mar riyage and i'm therefore no expert on how to rescue one or whether one should be rescued when it is in deep trouble however i do know a few ways of enriching and improving a marriage when both husband and wife want this to happen you might expect me to speak first of sex since 83 84 divided by the silver mind control method many believe it to be the underpinning of a good mar riyage i see dotted more as a result of a good marriage and we'll discuss it later the best foundation for a marriage i believe is intimacy not an invasion of privacy kind of intimacy but the sword that comes from deep understanding and acceptance i am about to suggest something rather strange but i must give you some background first we have spoken about the lifting joy toward the end of the mind control course something else occurs too it is more subtle but deeply felt the students moments away from graduation feel that they are an intimate almost loving touch with each other they came as strangers whose paths might otherwise never have crossed and they will soon leave to live out their individual destinies yet this feeling of connection with one another will easily be rewakened should they meet again this is widely believed to stem from the fact that they have been through an intense once in a lifetime experience together soldiers often feel this way after they have shared the intense experiences of war so too with any group of strangers who found themselves trapped together for an afternoon in an elevator this is only part of the explanation not even the larger part of it it is the part most often seized upon because it can be easily grasped something else happens which i shall try to explain during deep and prolonged meditation connections are made minds are sensitively receptive and are gently touched by other minds in ways otherwise familiar only to those who have lived full lifetimes together most instant intimacies are superficial and false and leave us feeling a little uncomfortable they last only briefly not this experience it is on a durable psychic level because it is a subtle feeling rather than an over an intimate exercise for lovers i-85 welcoming one to not be surprised if you heard nothing of it from any mind control graduate you may have met mention it and that person would probably say oh yes we all felt it it was beautiful this is a sort of by product of mind control train in the course is not specifically designed to achieve it however it is possible to use what both of you as husband and wife have already learned about mind control to deliberately create a very comfortable intimacy that only years of living together could otherwise achieve the result will be stronger and deeper than the one our students experience in classes here is what to do one select the place where you both feel happy is most relaxed it might be a place where you vacation together any place with especially pleasant memories you share it can even be a place neither of you has ever seen you can create it together do an OT however select a place where only one of you has been this will skew the symmetry of the experience and reduce the sense of sharing to sit comfortably close facing each other relax and let your eyes close three one of you will say to the other something like this tm going to count slowly from 10 to 1 and with each count you will feel yourself going deeper into a pleasant meditative level of mind 10 9 feel going deeper 8 7 6 deeper and deeper 5 4 deeper still 3 2 1 you are now relaxed at a deep pleasant level of mind with your help i will join you there for the other will say i will count slowly from 10 to 1 and with each count welcome closer in a deep level of mind 10 9 feel going deeper with 86 divided by the silver mind control method me 8 7 6 deeper and deeper together 5 4 deeper still and closer 3 2 1 we are now both relaxed at a pleasant level of mind let us go deeper together 5 the first person will say alright let's go very deep together let's experience our place of relaxation together the more we experience this the deeper we will go notice the sky 6 yes it's clear with a few drifting clouds each of you will slowly spontaneously describe the scene you are experiencing together the temperature the colors the sounds all the pleasant details 7 when you are both at a deep level no hurry about this and fully experiencing your place of relaxation one of you will say to the other i want most in life to make you happy and only then do i want to make myself happy 8 the other will say and i want most to make you happy and only then to make myself happy 9 allow a period as long as you want of silent communion then awaken for some this period of silent communion may be experienced even more deeply by gazing into each other's eyes it is entirely possible for the experienced meditator to remain at alpha or theta with eyes open if you are not comfortable with this do not force it this is a far more powerful experience than you might imagine from just reading about it here the very first time you try it you will be convinced and with variations you may develop it may become a permanent part of your lives together a few words of caution the beauty of this experience that will be completely lost if it is misused if one of the two persons involved does not understand the purpose of it and fully agree with that purpose the result is an intimate exercise for lovers divided by 87 in sense of intimate communion may come as a less than agreeable experience i recommend it only for a man and woman seeking a deeper richer more durable commitment to each other each of us has an aura which some can see as a feinty visible energy field surrounding the body we can be trained to see this aura in fact as another by product of mind control training many of our graduates report they see their own and others auras each is as distinctive as a fingerprint when people are physically close their energy fields overlap their shape their intensity their color their vibrations change this happens in crowded theaters and buses as well as in beds with two the more frequent the contact the more durable is the change in the auras in the case of husband and wife this change is a good one because their auras become more complementary for long physical separation will reverse the process which needless to say is not good for the compatibility of the marriage physical closeness is essential i recommend double beds now for sex sex is not one experience there is an entire spectrum of possibilities i am not speaking of techniques or positions i mean experiences qualities of experience at different depths and intensities there is as wide a range of possibilities as there is between kicks and lasting joy too many couples read how to do it sex manuals and with a certain perfection of technique think they are living a good sex life to deliberate each step with each step leading logically to the next keeps what could be a deep experience on the superficial conscious level of beta more important is to flow with the experience with the mind relaxed at a meditative level 88 divided by the silver mind control method becoming psychically sensitive can enrich and improve a marriage immensely even without training long and happy marriages can result in a deep psychic understanding between partners why wait chapter 12 you can practice esp is esp real today virtually all informed

for extracensory perception i do not like this terminology extracensory means outside apart from our sensory apparatus this seems to deny the existence of a sensory apparatus other than the five senses though obviously one exists since we do sense information without the use of them there is nothing extracensory at all about esp the word perception is fine for the sort of experiments conducted by jb ryan at duke university where recipients guess the turn of special cards accurately enough to virtually rule out chance however in mind control we do not simply perceive we actually project our awareness to where the desired information is perception is too passive a word for what we do therefore in mind control we speak of effective sensory projection the initials 89 90 divided by the silver mind control method are the same and appropriately so since we mean all that is generally understood by esp and more to experience esp mind control students go through no-card guessing exercises these aim at finding out if people are psychic we already know they are and we therefore set ourselves a larger task to train them to perform psychically with real life in ways so exciting that they experience a sort of spiritual high so exquisitely intense that their lives are never quite the same again this comes at the end of about 40 hours of instruction and exercises we routinely and reliably train people to function psychically we have done so with over a half million graduates by the time you have mastered all the techniques so far in this book you will be well on your way to practicing esp you will be able to enter deep levels of mind and remain fully conscious and you will be able to visualize things and events almost with the fullness of five senses reality these are the two gateways to the psychic world in mind control classes students are close to operating psychically by the end of the second day and on the third they actually do operate psychically to project their awareness outside their bodies they begin with a simple exercise in visual imagina ti'an in very deep meditation they project themselves in front of their own homes by imagining they are there they carefully know everything they see before they enter by the front door to stand in their living room facing the south wall they see this room at night with the lights on then in the daytime with sunlight coming through the windows and study every detail they can remember then they touch the south wall and enter it this may sound outlandish to you but it you can practice esp i91 is perfectly natural to those who have gone through intensive training and visualization inside the wall they are where they have never been before so they test their new environment by noting the light the odors the temperature and by knocking on the inside of the wall the solidity of the materials outside the wall again and facing it they change its color to black red green blue and violet then return it to its original color next they hold up a chair weightless in this dimension and study it against the wall as they change its color again they do this with a watermelon a lemon and orange three bananas three carrots and a head of lettuce when this session is completed the first important step has been taken to put the logical mind in the back seat and the imaginative mind up front where the controls are in that kind of exercises i am describing now the logical mind tells the student no don't tell me you're inside a wall or some other outlandish place you know that can't be you're sitting here but the imaginative mind now strengthened by a series of visualization exercises is able to ignore this as the imagination grows even stronger so do our psychic powers it is the imaginative mind which holds them during the next session the students mentally project themselves into cubes or cylinders of metal stainless steel copper brass and lead where as they didn't sign the wall they test for light odor color temperature and solidity all at a pace rapid enough to keep logic out of the way working their way up from the simple to the more complex arrangements of matter they begin their projection into living matter with a fruit tree the x-amina fruit tree in all four seasons against the sequence 92 divided by the silver mind control method of colors on their mental screens then project into the leaves and the fruit now for a giant step forward projection into a pet the students have been so successful up to this point that can i really do this is a question that crosses very few minds they confidently examine a pet from the outside against their mental screens with colors changing then just as confidently they mentally enter the skull and living brain after a few minutes of recon nascent inside the pet's head they emerge once again to examine him from the outside this time focusing on the chest now inside the chest to examine the rib cage the spine the heart the lungs the liver then out again now armed with points of reference for what will probably be the most dumbfounding day of their lives the fourth day when they will work with humans however there is preparatory work to do beforehand in an especially deep level of meditation sometimes well into theta mind control students in their now well trained imaginations construct laboratories of whatever size shape and color they are comfortable with these will include a desk and chair of their own design a clock a calendar containing all dates past present and future plus filing cabinets nothing unusual so far to understand the next step it is necessary to point out again how far our psychic sensing apparatus is from language and logic how close it is to images and symbols i point this out because the next step is to equip the laboratory with instruments for psychically correcting of normalities detected in the humans who will be examined the following day most of these instruments are like nothing you have seen in any laboratory they are highly instrumental symbols symbolic instruments if you will imagine a fine sieve for filtering impurities from ucm practice espi 93 blood a delicate brush to sweep away the white powder that can be seen psychically in cases of arthritis lotions for fast healing baths for washing away guilt a high five set with special music for calming the distress every student makes up his own armamentarium no two sets of tools are exactly alike they come from where all is possible from deep levels of mind and many graduates come to realize that the work they do with them has consequences in what we call the objective world as the student works with these tools he may have seat of some wise counsel to help in perplexing moments an interstil small voice for the mind-control student though it is not a small voice but a strong one and not one but two in his laboratory he evokes two counselors a man and a woman he is told before he begins this meditative session that he will do this and if he is like most other students he will have a pretty firm idea of whom he wants as counselors rarely does he get his wish ow most never is he disappointed one student hoping to meet Albert Einstein found instead a small man in clowns paint with a rose-colored pink palm ball for a nose and wearing a cap with a pinwheel the little man turned out to be a really able source of practical advice another student Sam Merrill who wrote an article about mind control in new times evoked two very real people as counselors though their behavior was far removed from their real selves in his laboratory the submarine nautilus writes Merrill a little man in knickers and a silk shirt emerged from the decompression chamber he was slim balding and gentle though like I said in deep sockets my counselor was William Shakespeare I said hi but he didn't answer 94 divided by the silver mind control method a disembodied voice announced that we were going ashore and will and I leapt from a hatchway onto a deserted beach on the beach we met my second counselor Sophia Lauren he had just returned from a swim and her cotton t-shirt clung lusciously to the goodies beneath she too ignored me at first but was overjoyed to meet Shakespeare the two shook hands exchanged please entries then fell to the sand began thrashing throbbing grunting squealing the next day when it was time for the serious business of working cases Mr. Merrill's orientologist gave him the name of a 62 year old woman in Florida the two counselors more interested in each other than the woman playfully examined her and left to attend to more pressing matters had the counselors left without giving counsel no the woman's abdomen had disappeared in its place wrote Merrill was a length of pink neon intestine that flashed angrily he learned from his orientologist that the woman was in the hospital with a seriously inflamed intestine diverticulitis counselors can be very real to mind control graduates what are they we are not sure perhaps some figment of an archetypal imagination perhaps an embodiment of the inner voice perhaps something more what we do know is that once we meet our counselors and learn to work with them the association is respectful and priceless more than four centuries before Christ the Greek philosopher Socrates had a counselor who unlike our counselors in mind control limited his advice to warnings according to Plotto Socrates said I have since my childhood then attended by a semi-divine being whose voice from time to time dissuades me from some undertaking but never directs me what I am to do you can practice ESP divided by 95 another writer Zenofen called Socrates a saying up to now the voice has never been wrong as you will soon see a mind control graduate mentality in his laboratory confidently consulting his counselors is a person with an immense power to benefit himself and others at this point in mind control team in this is understood but not yet experienced the next day the air almost trembles with expected Tian even our graduates who come back to us for a refresher feel it so far everything the student has experienced has been apparent only to him in the privacy of his own mind now comes the moment for perform in so that everyone can see there are two mental exercises beforehand both mental examinations of the body of a friend pretty much as was done earlier with pets but this time in more functional detail with this completed the students pair off one member of each pair is called the psychoreontologist and the other the psychic operator the psychoreontologist writes on a card the name of a person he knows his age his general whereabouts and a description of some major physical affliction the psychic operator sometimes with the help of his psychoreontologist goes to his level probably for the first and last time with shaky confidence in what he is about to do when he signals that he is ready at his level in his laboratory in the presence of his counselors the psychoreontologist tells him the name age sex and locotion of the person whose name is on the card the psychic operator's job is to find out what is wrong with this person he has never met and never heard of until 96 divided by the silver mind control method this moment he examines this person's body inside and out in the orderly way his imagination has been trained to do consulting with his counselors when necessary perhaps speaking to the person the psychic operator is urged by his psychoreontologist to report findings as he goes along to keep talking even if you feel you're guessing typically a session would sound like this psychoreontologist the name of the person i have listed here is john summers he is 48 years old lives in elkhart indiana one two three john summers of elkhart indiana is now on your screen sense it feel it visualize it imagine it create it know he is there take it for granted he is there scan the body with your intelligence from where you know the head to be to where you know the feet are up and down up and down once a second while scanning the body in this manner allow your imagination to select the three areas of greatest attraction maintain the rate of scanning at once a second and mention to me the areas of attraction as they come to you you will feel as though you are making it up so tell me everything that enters your mind psychic operator he carries his right shoulder a little lower a little forward everything else seems okay except maybe the left ankle let's look inside the chest everything's warm a little cooler on the right cooler and darker his right lung is gone now to that ankle seems
