Silva Method (India)  Kolkata

by José Silva

Contemplate and meditate on where humanity stands today on this planet. You will readily see that the human race is going in a demoralizing, degenerative, destructive direction. If not corrected, this can only end in disaster. Indicators indicate that:

• Crime is getting worse all the time, everywhere.
• Drug trafficking is causing great human suffering, and increased violence and killing.
• Water and air pollution are ruining our planet, our home.
• Many individuals are discouraged and no longer even try to lead productive, creative lives.
• Teenage pregnancy, especially to those who are not ready to be parents, is creating a whole underclass that is not functioning creatively and productively.
• Global unrest continues to increase.
• Many nations are going bankrupt.

Wars are being fought over who gets a piece of land, how a person should worship, and for selfish economic reasons. This stressful situation is bound to shorten the life span of the human race. Well, that’s the “blue framed” (negative) image. Now that we’ve identified the problem, the next questions is:

“Why do we have all of these problems?”

Who’s in charge here?

Studying and contemplating this situation at a deep meditative level, we are led back to one answer: Human intelligence. Human beings are the caretakers of the planet. This is our assignment. If we fail to do our job, we will destroy ourselves.

It appears that we have reached a saturation point in our intellectual growth.

Even the “intellectually superior individuals” seem to be unable to find solutions and to correct the problems that plague us today.

If our intellectual capabilities are saturated, then what are we to do?

Is there any solution?

Is there some way that we can surpass the intellectual saturation of the intellectually superior individuals so that we can come up with creative new ways to deal with our problems?

To do this, we cannot depend on just a few individuals. Everybody would have to develop additional mental faculties. How can people acquire additional mental faculties?

The answer to that lies in the way the human brain and mind function.

Unused potential discovered

As you know, we have spent the last 50 years studying the human brain and mind. Our investigations have revealed that 90 percent of people use only the left brain hemisphere to think with. They do both their thinking and acting with only the left brain hemisphere. This limits these people to using only logical, intellectual, objective means to correct problems.

Only 10 percent of humanity think with the right brain hemisphere, and then act with the left brain hemisphere. Is there an advantage in using the right brain hemisphere to think with?

It certainly appears so. Those who do:

• Are healthier.
• Make fewer mistakes.
• Have fewer accidents.
• Are luckier.
• Are more successful in life.
• Are happier.

In other words, the 10 percent are classified as geniuses. They have “extraordinary intelligence surpassing that of most intellectually superior individuals.”

Think of that for a moment: Not only do they have more intellectual ability than the average person, they have more intellectual ability than even the intellectually superior people. They have found a whole new dimension that they can use for problem solving, a dimension that has not been saturated but that has tremendous potential as a means of helping humanity to correct the problems that we are facing on our planet today.

Expand your intellectual capacity

Once we had identified the problem and had determined what was causing it, then the next question was: What could be done to help the 90 percent of people to become superior geniuses? We had to find a way to help the 90 percent learn to think with the right brain hemisphere and act with the left, the way the geniuses do.

It appears that the functions of the two brain hemispheres are specialized — they have different tasks to perform. Common sense tells us that there must be a reason for this, and the reason must be to allow one hemisphere to specialize in thinking and the other to be used in taking action.

Since most people are doing their thinking with the hemisphere that was not designed for thinking, but was designed for putting our thoughts into action — the left brain hemisphere — they have saturated the left brain hemisphere and have been stymied.

Biologically, people use both brain hemispheres: The left brain hemisphere controls sensory and motor nerves on the right side of the body while the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. But when it comes to intellectual abilities, people are using only half a brain, and they are using the least suitable half. No wonder they have become saturated, and everything is now going in the wrong direction.

How to get along better

Those who think and act with only the left brain hemisphere get sick more often with psychosomatic health problems. They are more accident prone. They make more mistakes. They are less successful in life. When people think with the right brain hemisphere and act with the left, the results are just the opposite: They are healthier, less accident prone, make fewer mistakes, and are more successful in life.

When the 90 percent think with the left hemisphere, and act with it also, their brain frequency is centered at 20 cycles per second (c.p.s.), called the “beta” frequency. But for the 10 percent who think with the right brain hemisphere, their brain frequency is centered at 10 c.p.s., called “alpha.” Then when they act, their brain frequency is centered at 20 c.p.s. beta.

It appears that for people to be healthier, happier, and more successful in life, and to make correct decisions more often than not, they need to learn how to think with the right hemisphere, at alpha, and then to act with the left hemisphere, at beta. When people do this, they will make the correct decisions to help solve problems. They will come up with creative ideas so that they will gain while helping other people to also gain, rather than gain at other people’s loss, as so many are doing now.

When people are centered at 10 cycles alpha, they can find ways to get everything that they need without taking anything away from anyone else, without hurting anybody. Nobody loses; everybody gains. But that does not happen with left brain thinking, only with right brain thinking. It has been said that we prey on each other at beta, while we pray for each other at alpha.

A new field of science

Our research lead us to develop a method of training the 90 percent who now use only the left brain hemisphere to think with, so that they will be able to use their right brain hemisphere to think with, just as the natural geniuses on the planet do. This has created a whole new field of science called “psychorientology.” The Silva Method is a product of this research, a product of psychorientology. Over the last 30 years, the Silva Method has helped millions of people learn to think with the right brain hemisphere and act with the left.

Many benefits

People who practice entering the alpha level, where they can think and make decisions and come up with ideas with the use of the right brain hemisphere, receive many benefits. They are:

• Healthier.
• Luckier.
• Better decision makers.
• More successful.
• Happier.

When you begin to think at the alpha level, with the right brain hemisphere, you gain insight and understanding about many things, such as why we were sent here. From the alpha dimension, we can understand that the reason we human beings were sent to planet earth is to improve conditions here. But we have not been doing that.

We now know that the reason that our problems are growing faster than our solutions, is that 90 percent of people are thinking at the wrong brain frequency. The correction for this problem is simple: Begin using the correct frequency for acting...the beta frequency, and the correct frequency for thinking...the alpha frequency. This discovery compares with the discovery made in radio communications many years ago.

Broadcast stations had saturated what is called the a.m. (amplitude modulation) band with stations. This led to the discovery of another dimension, the f.m. (frequency modulation) band. And as you know from turning on your radio, you get less static and superior high fidelity reception on the new f.m. band. Right brain thinking is a superior band for thinking:

• It changes the sub-conscious into an inner-conscious level. This allows people to also use the information stored in the subconscious, consciously.
• Right brain thinking — through intuition (ESP) — connects us mentally with all information on this planet, so that we can use this information to correct problems.
• It also connects us with higher intelligence, so that we can get the guidance and help that we need.

Once people begin using the right brain hemisphere to think with, they will then start to comply with the mission assigned to them, which is to improve living conditions on planet earth.

Everybody can be a winner

This can happen when we gain by helping others to gain, and gain while helping the planet to gain. In order to do this, all material gains are to be used to help us better carry out our mission here on earth. Remember, we come here with nothing, and when we leave here, we return to wherever we came from with nothing.

So do not ask for more than what you need; but do ask for no less than what you need. Besides helping themselves, graduates of the Silva Method are also directly obligated to help improve conditions on the planet by promoting the new science of psychorientology. When they introduce people to the Silva Method — a product of the science of psychorientology — they are helping many individuals to comply with their mission.

Thus, Silva Method graduates are actually taking part in “The second phase of human evolution on this planet.”

This is a highly responsible assignment. We say: Congratulations and thank you to all of you who are helping in this movement, and also helping other people to accomplish their mission on planet earth.
