Communicating with Higher Intelligence

Welcome to another edition of the SIGA Success Strategies online magazine.

In this issue we will get a glimpse of how Jose Silva's understanding evolved in regards to communicating with higher intelligence.

Mr. Silva said that "All scientific conclusions are semi-conclusions. You get a more powerful telescope, a more powerful microscope, you can learn more."

Here is something he wrote several years before he developed the UltraMind ESP System and the revolutionary MentalVideo Technique, which gave him what he had long sought: A reliable way to obtain information, help, and guidance from higher intelligence.

Here is the early concept regarding how we get help from the other side... the "semi-conclusion" from Jose Silva:

(Editors Note: When more of the picture was revealed to him, he realized that we must go even deeper than we can go consciously, because we need to use the "Delta Doorway" to the other side to communicate with higher intelligence...)


by Jose Silva

I believe that we were placed on this planet for a purpose.

Whoever put us here must have had some reason. Whoever put us here, I refer to as higher intelligence...So what am I supposed to do while I am here? There must be some reason I am here. What should I be doing?

It makes sense that if somebody sent me here, it would probably be to help correct problems. That is our reason for being here, our purpose in life. Here is why I believe this:

HELP CORRECT PROBLEMS

It seems like we haven't finished the evolutionary process yet. We are still inventing things to make life better, and there seems to be more that needs to be done. So perhaps I'm here to correct problems.

That does make sense doesn't it? If you are employed by somebody, they employ you to do a good job. If you do a good job they pay you for it. If you don't do a good job, they'll quit paying you for it, won't they?
If you do an outstanding job, they'll promote you. They will give you more responsibilities - and more pay. You will enjoy life that much more, you will get more satisfaction.

The more problems you solve, the more rewards you are going to get. It sure seems to work like that, in life as well as in business.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

What happens if we are creating problems?

I am out there creating problems, why should higher intelligence even want me around?

Maybe that's why people who create problems end up having so many problems. Maybe not at first, but sooner or later that law of cause-and-effect seems to balance out.

This approach has worked for me for my entire life. And it has worked for Silva Method graduates who apply it for more than a quarter of a century.

When you program to correct problems, and keep in mind what your needs are, plus a little bit more, then you will get everything you need to continue to be successful and happy.

FINDING YOUR PURPOSE

If you want to know how to carry out your purpose in life, then enter your level and ask. You will get answers.
It is important to ask at deep levels. Practice the Long Relaxation Exercise (Silva Centering Exercise) - relaxing parts of your body, then relaxing your mind, until you are very deeply relaxed both physically and mentally.

From this deep level, you will get in touch with your "higher self" as some people call it. I call it the other side. On the other side - in the spiritual dimension - I believe that there are beings who have been assigned to help us.
These beings are not limited by time and space the way that we are. They have access to more information than we do. They can formulate better plans than we can.

So enter your level. Deepen that level by using any of the deepening exercises as you learned in the course (relaxation, countdowns, etc.)
And ask what you should be doing here.

Find something to do that is of a constructive and creative nature, then do it, and all things will be added unto you.

What is Your Legacy?

By Jose Silva

    During my 82 years on this planet, I've learned that the only thing that's permanent in life is the legacy that you leave.

    The radios that I learned to repair as a teenager are now antiques that are nice to look at but have no practical value today. When is the last time you saw a vacuum tube?

    I've traveled all over the world presenting the Silva Method. I've seen the ancient ruins in Rome, that were once part of the greatest empire the world has ever known. They remind me of a story I once heard about a ruler who presided over a great city.

    Archaeologists found the ruins of this city that had once been so great, and among the ruins they found a portion of the base of a statue.

    The statue had been of the great ruler. All that was left was part of the inscription, which read: Here lies Ozymandeus, King of Kings. Look on these works, ye mighty, and despair.

    The irony was that he had intended that they could never create anything so great as he had, but in reality, he demonstrated that nothing is so great that it will last forever.

    Except the legacy that you leave.

YOUR LEGACY


    Everybody leaves a legacy:

    *World leaders who must carefully watch every word that they utter have an obvious impact on the world.

    *Every child that is born produces a powerful effect on the parents and grandparents and perhaps many others. If you've ever had a child, or a grandchild, or even a great grandchild as I have, then you know that this changes you.

    *You never know what small action of yours might bring about a big change. The psychiatrist in the Army induction center probably never even remembered that he suggested that I read The History of Psychiatry, but that one bit of guidance started me on the path that led to the Silva Method, which has now helped millions of people throughout the world.

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE?

    Sometimes a tiny kindness has a ripple effect that grows as it goes forward, until it makes a huge difference.

    Sometimes a mean gesture also has a ripple effect that winds up hurting many people.

    You never know, at the time, what the effect will be.

    Think about some of the people in your life: people who gave you a word of encouragement that you still remember; people who were indifferent, or even cruel. They might not even remember it.

    But you remember it. And perhaps it influences your life:

    *You pass on the kind gesture to others, who in turn pass on that gesture.

    *Your hurt and resentment cause you to say or do things you don't really mean, and people learn from your example.


    Long after we are all gone, long after the great cities of today have crumbled, long after our modern technology is rendered obsolete, long after our greatest leaders are just names that students read in history books, your legacy will still live.

    It will live in the lives of people who follow us. The things that you do spread out, and give you a type of immortality.

SUPERIOR HUMAN BEING

    Here is a formula that I included in the Silva Method, that will help insure that you leave a positive legacy:

    You will continue to strive to take part in constructive and creative activities to make this a better world to live in, so that when we move on, we shall have left behind a better world for those who follow.

    You will consider the whole of humanity, depending on their ages, as fathers or mothers, brothers or sisters, sons or daughters.

    You are a superior human being; you have greater understanding, compassion, and patience with others.

    What kind of legacy do you want to leave?

    Someone once suggested that you do every act as if it would be your last. How do you want to be remembered?

    Go to level. Think about your life at the alpha level, the ideal level to think on. Plan what you are going to do with your life, so as to leave a legacy that you can be proud of.

How to Realize Your Goals

We all have goals whether we admit them to ourselves or anyone else, or not.. The question is, what are you doing about them? Have you written them down? Do you look at them often? Do you talk about them? Do you take action to achieve them?

Setting specific measurable goals is the way to go!

In Jack Canfield’s book "How to Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be" there's a funny / not funny comic: a drawing of a man lying in the road and under it is written, “Encumbered by a low self-image, Bob takes a job as a speed bump.”

Is this you...with a low self-image? If so, you’re probably not putting much effort into setting goals because you probably believe you can't have them. You may have a case of speed-bump-itis!

NOTICE:  It’s time to make a commitment with and to yourself. Most every successful person has set specific goals and then taken action - one step at a time - to achieve them. If they can do it, so can you.

1. Have a Goal Journal

Expensive or inexpensive, pretty or just aplain pad of paper, the important thing is that it's dedicated to only one thing: your goals.

2. Create your 'bucket list'

Write at least five, must-do-before-I-die goals, one per page.

3. Take the plunge

Be daring! Be bold! Write down what you really want to be, do and have for your life.

4. Be Specific

Goals are specific. “I want a good car” isn’t a goal. “I will have (a specific make/model) by XYZ date,” is. The more specific you are, the more clearly you program for success.

5. Say them!

Repeat your goals out loud to yourself three times a day, every day.

6. Find a 'buddy'

Find someone you trust to share your goals - an accountability partner. When you actually share your goals with someone else, you make a deeper level of commitment.

7. Take Action

For each goal, write down 5 or more, small, action-steps to take each week reach your goals.

Living Life in Balance

Most of us enjoy our lives and seek to make them better and better. How to make them better? Most people agree that balance is the key.

How do you keep balance in your life? Do you have a process that allows you to know when things are 'off kilter'?

When you watch this video from Vishen Lakhiani you may choose to take a few notes. Definitely worth your time!

UltraSuccessful People, Their Books/Course and How To Get Their Techniques To Work For You

Here are some of Mr. Silva's thoughts on the ultra successful people and the "success" books and courses that they write... and what it takes to get their techniques to work for you.
This is part of an article written by Jose Silva.

There have been thousands of books and courses created to help people achieve more success, and they prove useful. for a very few people. In fact, only about one person in ten receives any significant benefit from most of these books and courses...

...let's look first at what makes successful people successful. Not the person with average success, but the person with outstanding success. And not just success in one field, but success in many fields.

These very successful people have goals, of course, and a strong commitment to reach their goals. They are persistent, and are hard workers. They are reasonably intelligent, and relate well to other people.

But many people with average success share these same traits.

So what is the difference?

It is this: People who achieve outstanding success use more of their brains and minds than those who achieve average success.

Most people, approximately ninety percent, use only the left half of the brain for thinking, while the other ten percent use both sides of the brain to think with.

Does this make the ninety percent who are left brain thinkers just half as effective? No, they are usually much less than half as effective. For example, try lifting a bulky object with just one arm instead of two.

Now back to the question of why the Silva Method has helped so many people. While most books and courses motivate people and tell them how to set goals and be more persistent in striving for them, these programs do not teach people how to use the right side of the brain.

The Silva Method is the first program ever created that guides people to start using the right side of the brain to think with.

To develop all of your potential, it is essential that you use both brain hemispheres to think with, because each functions in its own way.

The left brain hemisphere interprets everything logically. The right brain hemisphere perceives things differently: it senses patterns, it creates new combinations that are not limited by logic.

Just take a look at the people who achieve above average success. When they talk, they seem to have a better grasp of things, to understand more quickly. They are more sensitive to people, and seem to know exactly how to deal with them. And they make correct decisions. More correct decisions than the average person.

While the left brain hemisphere is limited by logic, the right brain hemisphere is not biased against any information. It considers everything, and in various combinations. And the right brain hemisphere has access to more information than the left brain hemisphere because it deals with information stored in the subconscious.

Intuition - hunches are a phenomenon of the right brain hemisphere. The right brain hemisphere perceives information that the logical left brain hemisphere misses. When you are able to think with both brain hemispheres, you have much more going for you than if you are limited to only one.

How can you learn to use your right brain hemisphere to think with?

First, learn to relax and slow your brain until you are at a level comparable to light sleep. Then practice using visualization and imagination, and you are using your right brain hemisphere.

With practice, you can learn to reach this level without going to sleep The fastest way to learn is by attending the Silva Method training where a lecturer guides you.

When you have practiced enough, the proper way, then you can evoke that special feeling associated with using the right brain hemisphere at any time, so you will have access to the right brain's abilities whenever you need them.

People who achieve outstanding success all do this, although they may not realize that most people do not function the same way they do. Remember this when you read their books and take their courses. If you apply their techniques with your right brain hemisphere, then you will achieve results the way they do.

Are You Happy but Broke or a Stressed Visionary?

Vishan Lakhiani provided an interesting video today called   Which Are You: "Happy but Broke” or a “Stressed Out Visionary?"

Think about what he has to say and discover where you really are. Then think about what that means for you. Do you need to do something differently? If so, what?

Enjoy!

Who's Creating Your Life - Your Problems or You?

What do you notice in your life? What do you think about?
How many problems are you actively worrying about?
How many things keep you awake at night? or wake you?

Did you ever notice that problems seem to 'breed'? ie The more you have to worry about, the more problems you have to solve, the more problems you have to solve! In fact, the better you are at solving those problems the more of them you get. You may ask yourself "Do people see me as a good problem solver...the go-to person to find answers?"

Do you really choose to live that way? How can you change that?

When you 'solve' a challenging situation, tell yourself "Well, that's finished...one less difficulty to handleand soon I'll be free of difficulties!"  (As a former 'go-to problem solver' I know it works because I've done it and my life is sooooo much better today.)

Now it's time to make sure you have interests and activities that are fun, uplifting, happy, fulfilling and the like. You cannot give up something without putting something in it's place. This is the Clean Closet Principal: if you remove most or all of the stuff, soon it's filled up again and almost always the new stuff is just as undesireable as the original stuff. Instead of returning to an old habit of worry and problems, make sure your life is filled with positive thoughts, words and experiences. Get excited about life!

Of course there will be challenging situations throughout life. It just happens sometimes but it doesnt have to be your theme. YOU control the theme of your thoughts, your days and your life. Sooner or later you'll notice that your life is going along much smoother than in the past...and you're loving it!

Let's look forward to better thoughts, better days and a better life every day...in every way!

What Is & How Is "Faith" Important in Silva?

Many people talk about faith and how important it is, but few really understand what faith is. Here is Jose Silva's explanation:

It is important to have faith. But to have it, we must first know what it is and understand it.

Faith is composed of Desire, Belief, and Expectancy. Let us take a look at those three components of faith in some detail, to see how we can increase them.

INCREASING DESIRE

Desire stems from need. When there is a genuine need, you have genuine desire. This is important because it is a motive force,compelling us towards our goals.

There is little desire in luxuries because there is no real need, but there is great desire when necessities are lacking because life itself can be threatened. To develop your abilities, seek out the problems and help correct them. Then later, when you have more experience, you will be better able to attain the luxuries.

This, we believe, is why we were guided to be successful in developing the Silva Method, the only system of mind training ever developed to help people learn to use the alpha level and the subjective, spiritual, dimension consciously to correct problems on our planet. Many other systems have copied our, but no one else has originated such a system.

Throughout our research, we worked on real, existing problem cases. While other researchers chose to have psychics guess what was on ESP cards, or try to control the throw of the dice, we were having our subjects detect health problems, and other kinds of problems, and then do whatever they thought would help correct the problems.

This kind of effort paid off. It seems as though a diseased human organ, or injured human tissue, calls out somehow for help. Therefore it is easier to become aware of a problem that of something that is not a problem.

We see so-called miracles when desire - that is, need is very strong. When a person has a great need - for instance, when life is threatened - then there is so much desire that it will carry the other two factors even if they are very weak. All three factors must be there, but one very strong factor can carry the others.

BUILDING BELIEF
Belief is what sustains you along the way from the motivation of your desire to the target of your expectancy. Desire pushes and motivates you, belief keeps you going, and expectancy is your goal, your target.

How can you build a stronger belief factor?

As long as you continue to practice, you are expressing your belief. You can build more belief by repeating (attending and repeating the SLS and SIT) the Basic Lecture Series, reading all the books available, and staying involved in graduate activities.

At your level, check your belief systems: Do you believe your goal is possible? If not, establish interim goals that are believable to you.

Do you believe you deserve what you are seeking? If you have any doubt, then start doing something to serve humanity and to correct problems that you see. When you are correcting problems, without creating any new problems, then you will receive all that you need to continue your work. Promises don't count - you must demonstrate your service first.
EXPECTANCY ATTRACTS

Expectancy is the goal. Expectancy grows through repeated successes. It is important to practice as much as possible to increase expectancy.

So develop your expectancy factor through practice. But remember to practice on the right things: the problem areas, not the luxuries. When you are more proficient, then you will be able to obtain all the luxuries you need. You notice I said need - not necessarily all you desire, but all you need.

In developing the ability to use your mind more effectively, you must do the same as when developing your muscles: practice, practice, practice....
...First, learn to find and consciously use the alpha dimension... Then help correct the problems... The luxuries will come later.

Develop your ability to function at alpha. Develop your faith. Apply all of this to the correction of problems that hurt the inhabitants of our planet, and the planet itself, and you will eventually achieve all that you need and much, much more.

How Our Education System Needs to Change

This is an interesting, focused, brief video re education. Please watch and comment.

A terrific book

Based on experiences at Monroe Institute, Frank de Marco's re-creation of his program experience makes you feel like you're there. This is a must-read for everyone interested in "altered states" of consciousness, energy healing and much much more.

Program the WHAT - not the HOW

Often in classes we discuss the best way to do our 'programming'. Certainly we have enough techniques in the courses to cover virtually every scenario, every desire, every goal.
There is a "trick" though and that is to make sure you're programming for your desired outcome - the WHAT - not the steps necessary to get there - the HOW.

Our job is to identify our intended outcome - the WHAT - and Spirit is in charge of HOW to get us there. If we believe that we know HOW to get where we choose to go, we limit what Spirit can do for us.

Although this didn't happen in one of my classes, I remember a story I heard about years ago. Sometimes we discuss it in class.
Once upon a time, some years ago, there was a Silva Method Basic class in progress. One student had a dream to go to Hawaii for 2 weeks and she estimated it would cost her $2000 for the trip of her dreams.  During the Mirror of the Mind exercise she programmed for the money...she visualized a hand writing out a check to her for the amount she desired. 

At the next class she returned and BOY was she mad! When she calmed down the lecturer asked her how she had done her programming so she shared what she'd done.  She also told everyone the check HAD arrived but she'd needed to use it for a medical bill, not a vacation.

I think you can see the problem: she programmed for the HOW, not the WHAT. During the second class she programmed for her trip instead of how to make it happen. 

As the story goes, soon after the class she met an older lady at the laundromat and they struck up a fun conversation. After a while this lady asked the Silva Grad if she'd consider accompanying her to Hawaii for 2 weeks - all expenses paid.

WOW! She received her desire, the WHAT, and didn't even need to worry about the HOW. Often we can't know the very best way for things to occur but Spirit does.

It's always good to end your programming session with "This or something better." By adding this Spirit is free to meet your desired outcome with no restrictions...in the best way possible.

Remember to identify WHAT you choose and let Spirit take care of getting there.

Better and Better
