can prophet muhammad be taken as a model to follow
Can Prophet Muhammad be taken as a model for Muslims to follow?
Being the final Prophet of God, Prophet Muhammad has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born an orphan and rose to become a ruler of integrity. Each of the different phases of his life provides examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living.
The Prophet's character alone is a paragon of virtue, a model for all men. God says to the reader of the Quran: "You have indeed in the Messenger of God (Muhammad) a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is God and the Final Day." (33:21)
Ali Akbar, in his book "God and Man", says: "Great minds and teachers like Buddha and Christ could not present their lives as models for mankind to follow. One left the family while the other had none. One severed his connections with the worldly affairs altogether and the other had never entered into them. Their teachings are lofty but can be followed only by those who live an ascetic life like them. The human progress in acquiring knowledge of the Creator and the Universe and mastering elements and scientific research could never be possible if all people lived ascetic lives, and the world would come to an end in one generation as far as human beings are concerned if all practised celibacy. God Who is the Creator of mankind could not depute persons to advocate principles contrary to the laws laid down by Him for the procreation of His creatures.
"But the great model Muhammad presents all phases of life to follow. As an orphan, as a shepherd, as a son, as a nephew, as father, as grandfather, as husband, as a citizen, as a neighbour, as a humanitarian and lover to children and orphans, as supporter and free worker for poor widows and needy persons, as tolerant teacher never offending susceptibilities or beliefs of others, as conqueror, as forgiver of those who persecuted him after they came under his power by his example of forgiving the people of Mecca who had ruthlessly persecuted him, as master of those who came to him as slaves by freeing them at once, as a ruler and a teacher of good treatment which should be meted to those who differ from you in religion when they come under your protection by his own example, as the first giver in the world to women a right of full possession of property and inheritance from parents, sons, brothers and sisters and other relations; and in many other respects a model to follow."

Could Prophet Muhammad remove the sins of Muslims?
Prophet Muhammad was a Prophet and Messenger of God and his mission was to deliver the Message of God to people. He is not responsible if people do not believe in the Message he delivered. It is up to the people to use their intellect and reason to verify the Message (Islam) he has delivered and accept it if it is rational.
The Prophet did not come to cleanse the sins of people. If he could, he would be equal to God in power and this becomes absurd in Islam, contrary to the teachings of the Quran. Neither Prophet Muhammad nor any other Prophet could remove the sins of people. Only God has the Power to do it.
In Islam, every person is held responsible for his or her acts. And the reward for good acts and the punishment for evil acts, if unrewarded or punished while on this earth, will be meted out accordingly in the Hereafter on the Day of Judgement _ by God.
With God's Mercy and Compassion, sins committed through irreligious acts, could be pardoned by God alone through seeking His forgiveness and executing sincere repentance.

Is the history of Prophet Muhammad known in detail? Briefly, state his life history.
Every detail of Prophet Muhammad's life is known and recorded. Muhammad was born on 29 August 570. His father, Abdullah, died before he was born. His mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old. His grandfather, Abdul Mutalib, who became his guardian, died when he was eight. He was then taken care of by one of his uncles, Abu Talib, in whose house he grew up. Here is a case of an orphan boy who, through sheer hard work, became the most influential personality in history. (See Question 2-16.)
In his youth, Muhammad's pure character and his regard for truth and honesty won him the title "Al-Amin" (The Trustworthy) from his people!
In his early twenties, Muhammad came into the service of Khadijah, a rich and upright widow, who employed him as one of her agents in her trading business. She was so greatly impressed by his conduct and sense of responsibility that she offered him her hand in marriage, although she was 15 years his senior. Muhammad accepted the proposal and they were married. He was 25 years old at that time.
Muhammad received prophethood at the age of 40.
Prophet Muhammad remained the husband of Khadijah for 25 years during which he had three sons and four daughters by her, but all his sons died in infancy. After Khadijah's death, the Prophet married again. He even had more than one wife at one time, but all his wives except one, were elderly widows whom he married to support them.
For many years, the Prophet faced opposition to his preachings. But, eventually he triumphed in his mission with God's Guidance. The Prophet died of old age when he was 63.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, in the commentary of his English translation of the Quran on the verse (61:6) which mentions that Jesus Christ foretold the coming of Prophet Muhammad, says: "The Prophet's whole life from beginning to end was one vast miracle. He fought and won against odds. Without learning from men, he taught the highest wisdom. He melted hearts that were hard, and strengthened hearts that were tender and required support. In all his sayings and doings, men of discernment could see the working of God's hand."

Did Prophet Muhammad perform miracles?
Prophet Muhammad did perform some miracles but they were all spiritual in nature. One of his well-known miracles was the "Night Journey" during which he travelled (spiritually) to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem (later to be known as Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest mosque in Islam) and from there to Heaven and back. When he returned he taught Muslims the five daily prayers. However, Muslims do not need to make an issue over these miracles to strengthen or highlight the Islamic religion.
Physical miracles were performed by some of the earlier Prophets to convince the people of their divine missions, usually when forced or requested. The pagan Meccans too did ask the Prophet what miracles he could or had performed. Hinting that miracles as performed by the earlier Prophets would have no effect in his time, the Prophet pointed at the Quran and said in a metaphorical sense: "The Quran is my miracle."
Indeed, the time (some 600 years after Jesus Christ) was ripe for an intellectual miracle _ a Book _ to take place. The Quran is that Book, a living miracle, one that exists today just as "performed" by the Prophet; a tangible one indeed, a miracle by which people could see, touch and receive guidance.
By this miracle, (the Quran), Muslims throughout the world, from those days till today, have abstained from the prohibited and obeyed the obligatory, such as performing the five daily prayers, facing the Ka'aba in Mecca during prayers, fasting in Ramadhan, going for the Hajj, and living as best as they could according to the teachings of Islam.

Be Careful with Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam
The crowd was growing in size by the minute. They were beating drums, singing, dancing, and shouting in joy. Pagan Makkah was about to kill Khubaib bin Adi Ansari, Radi-Allahu anhu, who had been captured through a sinister and treacherous plot, then sold in the slave market so the buyers could exact their vengeance.
It started when some tribesmen from Uthul and Qara went to Madinah and requested the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to send some teachers with them who could educate their fellow tribesmen about Islam. The request was granted and about ten Companions were sent with them. When the group reached Raji' two hundred armed men were lying in wait for them. Khubaib and Zaid bin Adathna, Radi-Allahu anhuma, were captured alive, while the others were martyred. Then they were sold in exchange for a hundred heads of camel. Both had fought in the battle of Badr and their swords had killed some pagan soldiers. Now the relatives of those killed in war wanted to get even. Of course, Arab traditions did not allow revenge for war like this. But their opponents were Muslims. Then, as now, the pagan world was ready to violate its own rules and traditions when the victims were Muslims.
While facing death, Khubaib, Radi-Allahu anhu, said a poem that has been recorded by history. It includes these lines: "They say if I renounce Islam, my life will be spared. But it is better to die with belief than to live with unbelief."
At the last minute, the pagans asked him: "Don't you wish that you were spared and Muhammad (Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam) got this punishment? Would not you like that you were resting comfortably in your home, while he was killed in your place?" From the man who was about to die because he had accepted the Message brought by Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, came this reply: "By Allah, I cannot even imagine that a thorn should prick the foot of Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, while I rest in my home."
Abu Sufyan, an unbeliever at the time, remarked to his associates: "See, the love of the companions for Muhammad (Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam) is unparalleled and unprecedented." At another time, a similar observation was made by another Quraish leader Urwah ibn Mas'ud al Thaqafi. "I have seen Ceasar and Chosroes in their pomp, but never have I seen a man honored, as Muhammad is honored by his comrades."
The biographies of the Companions are full of stories that show their extra-ordinary love and devotion for the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. The Qur'an itself attests to this. "The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves." [Al-Ahzab 33:6] It is a statement of fact as well as a command. The following two ahadith, from among the many on the subject, clarify this point further. "None of you can be a believer unless he loves me more than his parents, his children, and all the people." [Bukhari and Muslim] "There are three signs that indicate that a person has tasted the sweetness of faith. 1) That he loves Allah and His Prophet more than anything else. 2) He loves everyone solely for the sake of Allah. 3) After accepting Islam he hates going back to unbelief as much as he hates going into the fire." [Bukhari and Muslim]
It has to be so, because our relationship to the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is at the core of our entire religion. He is human, not Divine, but he is our connection to the Deity. He relays to us the Word of Allah and he explains what the Word means. He sets a personal example that we look at not just for admiration but emulation. Our relationship to him is legal as well as personal; moral as well as spiritual; intellectual as well as emotional. Allah chose him to guide us, educate us, inspire us, and purify us --- and we remain indebted forever!
This not only establishes a relationship between a believer and the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, it also establishes the relationship among the believers, making them one unit because of--- in addition to their common faith--- their common love for the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
Together these facts explain a Muslim's sensitivity to the honor of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. To begin with, we must remember that the honor of everyone is important. As the hadith reminds us: "If a believer does not come to the help of another believer whose honor and dignity are under attack, then Allah will also not help him when he is most in need of Allah's help. And a believer who does come to the help of another believer whose honor and dignity are under attack, then Allah will also help him when he is most in need of Allah's help." [Abu Dawood]. If a Muslim is not supposed to be indifferent when the honor of another ordinary Muslim is under attack, how in the world can anyone expect him or her to be indifferent when the honor and dignity of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, himself may be under attack?
As has been noted by someone else, a civilization in which nothing is sacred may have difficulty in understanding the values of a civilization in which sacred is all that counts. But if it cannot understand the logic, because of its own blinders, it will have to come to terms with the facts on the ground: Muslims treat their Prophet, and all the prophets, with utmost respect and they simply cannot tolerate any willful insult and disrespect. To compromise on this issue would tantamount to compromising one's faith. And no one has a right to demand that. The blasphemy laws in Muslim countries like the one in Pakistan, are not only based on solid and agreed upon juristic grounds, they express a fundamental value of the Muslim civilization. We need not offer any apologies for that just because the forces of profanity seem to be powerful.
Some think that the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, forgave his worst enemies and never took revenge for himself. So any law that prescribed punishment for assaulting the honor of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is clearly against his Sunnah. What the prophetic example teaches is that we should also be willing to forgive those who have committed offenses against us, personally. But we know of Ka'ab bin Ashraf who used to abuse the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and instigated others to do so. He ordered Mohammed ibn Salma to execute Ka'ab. (Bukhari) There are not many but history records that whenever anyone tried to abuse the person of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he was meted with the same punishment. As the Persian poet said, "May take liberty with God, Be careful with Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam."
Being the final Prophet of God, Prophet Muhammad has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success. He was born an orphan and rose to become a ruler of integrity. Each of the different phases of his life provides examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living.

Dear Sugiyanto.gik,
What I’m about to reveal may sound like stereotypical spiel from your run-of-the-mill meditation product… But it’s actually powerful cutting-edge stuff… It avoids the spiritual esoteric fluff and instead emphasizes RESULTS…
Like how it can make you more productive, more stress-free, more calm… A place where both career success and soul fulfillment resides. In fact, it will magically enhance ALL aspects of your life—be it mental, emotional and spiritual, and the metamorphosis so astonishing you think the floodgates of heaven have opened to bless you!
This isn’t hyperbole. Because as you will read later, every SINGLE benefit has been proven and endorsed by scientific study.
No programs dare claim that the change that takes place in your life is guaranteed, much less scientifically proven.
Only SILVA LIFE SYSTEM does!
Before I go on, I must warn you that this is somewhat of a lengthy letter. If I could shorten it to a few short paragraphs, I would. However, the information here is so vital and important to you that leaving it out would be doing you a disservice.
Reading this letter could be the starting point of the beginning of the rest of a new life, a life lived on your own term—healthy, fulfilled and successful.
Do you realize that you could be on the edge of personal breakthrough?
Do you realize that this could be your turning point?
Okay, let’s begin.
Imagine ten different modules that touch on ten different aspects of your modern life. In its default setting, powerful remastered audio puts your mind in a state of deep zen-like meditation, all in under a minute!
Then, within that short span of time, profound positive change is already taking place, burrowing deep within your nervous system and your life.
In a blink of an eye, anxiety, stress, indecision, addiction and other forms of emotional paralysis disappear. All at the push of a button.
In the 80’s, I experimented with the Silva Method that was rising in popularity. Already a fixture in the personal development community since then, I was wandering if the most popular mind control method in the world could transcend its vague spiritual roots and manifest itself in more tangible terms.
In other words, besides the inner peace (not saying that it’s a bad thing) that Silva Method delivers in spades, could these amazing principles translate well to this pesky thing knows as reality? I was questioning—could meditation and modern living mingle to produce empowered and victorious lives?
Well, after thousands of trials on tons of ‘non-spiritual’ subjects with sound scientific methods and experimentation processes, we uncovered the following remarkable results.
People who used the Silva Method for just an hour a day were able to achieve:
* Monk-like deep meditation in a spectacularly short time…
* Dramatic acceleration in the production of beneficial brain chemicals, including endorphins, anti-aging, etc…
* Overcome dysfunctional emotional patterns such as addiction and unforgiveness…
* Greater levels of intelligence and creativity…
* Significantly lower levels of stress…
* Previously unattainable goals that they put their mind to…
* Youthful vigor and vitality…
This is not as far-fetched as it seems.
You see, every one of these benefits has been the results of decades and decades of exhaustive research, with thousands of subjects displaying phenomenal results like these.
We call the program Silva Life System, the fruits of many, many man-hours of labor. It is indeed the most revolutionary meditation and personal development program in the world, because this is meditation made relevant for you and your modern needs.
Truly, we really believe you’ll find it to be the end of your search for something that really works.
All this from going through a simple program?
You got that right!
Now, let me explain why I feel Silva Life System is THE definitive program for the modern city-dwelling pragmatic folks like yourself…
My marriage became stronger and more loving
I could write a novel on how my life has changed over the last two years. I hated my job, frequent fights with my husband who I love with all my heart, taking care of aging parents, just feeling sorry for myself thinking life sucks. Until I found The Silva Method. I requested the free training program and listened and bought the course the same day. I decided to test the Silva Method with an experiment. Our local hardware store was holding a draw for a free Electric John Deere Gator. I decided to win this for my two grandsons for Christmas. I entered my ballots and followed the Silva method for two weeks going into my center, visualizing getting the phone call that I won, visualizing the boys in our yard driving the John Deere, hearing their giggles, then release, confident that my name would be drawn. Not everything happened exactly the way I visualized because my husband received the call, not me, BUT I WON!!

The Problem: Modern Society is DEADLY Intent on Crushing Us!
Face it, we live in dark, pressing times.
It seems that society and its various institutions seek to ensnare you, pull you down, and reduce you to a insignificant cog in the machine.
You flip open the newspapers, and there’s yet another case of corruption, injustice and horrific crime.
Even we ourselves are not spared. How many of us had suffered some form of violation and abuse?
How many of us have coped with the past with substance addiction, alcoholism and throwing ourselves into our work?
But maybe your way of dealing is not so dramatic. Yet, how many of us instead settle for bitterness, unforgiveness and pettiness? Allowing these demons to chain us up.
That is why we believe the madness… Content to live a life of mediocrity, so that we can be shielded from further pain.
That we are content to let our goals and dreams be wasted, as long as we can maintain some kind of order, even if it results in numbness and lifelessness.
Then, we see those that seem to live life on their own terms.
These people are not without problems or a past. Some of them even come from broken and abusive backgrounds.
And yet, they are able to be successful in whatever they do. They are star players in the office. They are in the pink of health. They raise up unbelievably obedient kids within an unbelievably loving marriage.
It was as if the weight of this screwed-up world slides off them effortlessly, like TEFLON. There are no shackles, no confines, only complete and utter freedom!
So… why do some people have it all while others stumble and crawl?
The answer is mind-bogglingly simple…
IT’S ALL IN THE MIND!
Let me be a bit more specific.
King Solomon says, “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.“
This means—if you envision the life of your dreams in your head, you WILL live the life of your dreams in this present reality.
Imagine being stress-free? Where you’re no longer in the rat race because you already made it.
Imagine being healed of all your sickness—physical or mental? Where your aches and pain is a distant memory.
Imagine moving on to bigger and better things? That even when past memories are still there, the power that these past memories have will MELT away.
Now here’s the cool part, as you envision in your heard these wonderful things… Well, they are the starting point of a new reality!
The latest buzzword flung around these days is the Law of Attraction… Where simply put—where you focus your mind, is what it would attract. The potential is UNLIMITED.
If you visualize healing, you will be healed.
If you visualize success, you will be successful.
If you visualize freedom, you will be set free.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the seemingly simple act of controlling your thoughts is INFINITELY harder than it looks.
We will ourselves on the right track, and suddenly a voice from the past whispers “you can’t do it” into your ear. Or it could be just an unloving spouse or rebellious children giving you a cold shoulder. Or it could be an overflowing in-tray waiting for you at the office…
And suddenly, we find ourselves back to square one.
You see, learning to control your mind is not a sheer question of will. If it were, millions of others would long be liberated.
You would have long being liberated.
Instead, You NEED TO grab knowledge to tap into the unlimited power of your mind, attracting the things you want in your life.
You must be connected to a system which is able to teach you the secrets of controlling your mind, rising above reality and seizing your inner potential.
That is why I’m writing to you about Silva Life System, scientifically proven and tested to be one of the world’s most effective mind development and stress control system.
The premise is simple: Through controlled relaxation and maximizing the use of the Logical Left Brain and the Creative Right Brain, ANYONE can bring massive positive transformation to their lives.
With the course, you will dictate your projected reality to the world—as you want it to be – and not have it dictated to you.
If knowledge is power, then the knowledge that Silva Life System provides is LIFE-CHANGING POWERFUL DYNAMITE!
The Story of the Prodigal Daughter
Laura Silva Quesada
Let me give you a real life example—I want to tell you my story.
Like you, I was looking for something in my life. Something to give me significance and purpose – and most of the time, I couldn’t find it.
Quite surprising, isn’t it? Considering I am the daughter of the founder of the most famous mind control system on the planet, but I swear it’s true!
Sometimes, I do get a little taste of it, but when I rediscovered the timeless principles of my father’s research, I could never piece it all together.
Back in the early eighties—when I rebelled against my father and wanted to find the answers on my own—my life was definitely not on the right track.
It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. I tried just about everything – seminars, workshops, all kinds of different philosophies and systems. I must have spent at least tens of thousands of dollars on self-help books and courses.
ANYTHING to step out of my dad’s shadow.
You name it; I tried it—usually with all my heart, soul and mind.
Well, it’s not that I didn’t experience breakthroughs with all that effort. In fact, I have grown a lot since that time. Occasionally, I even have what people called epiphanies. Eventually, though, I still felt hollow inside, and the effects were at best, temporary.
It was as if that all those things – despite the promises and positive effects, still left me unsatisfied. As if I was stuffing myself with junk food rather than a hearty wholesome main course.
You probably know what I’m talking about, don’t you?
Then, rather suddenly, something really amazing transpired. I rediscovered my dad’s system—The Silva Method.
One day in the starting stages of the 80’s, in desperation over the futility of my quest, I started listening to The Silva Method tapes that were always lying around the house.
To my utter surprise, I realized how focused and sharp I became. It was as if a weight got taken off my shoulders and I’m now free to soar and fly. A flood of peace rushed in, SWEEPING AWAY the desperation, anxiety and bitterness that had plagued me my whole life!
Imagine, just a few days earlier I was kicking those tapes across the room because of how useless I thought they were!
Most astonishingly, this feeling lasted for days!
And it was at that point in time, the Prodigal Daughter decided to return home.
As you can tell, I was really zealous about spreading the life-changing message of Silva.
After having my life transformed in such a dramatic manner, I was also determined to propel the research that my dad has started on The Silva Method to a whole new level, and to FULLY experience it with my own life.
Over the next 2 decades I went on an unbelievable adventure as I made new discoveries that pushed The Silva Method into new areas of human consciousness.
Having worked with the top scientists and spiritual masters, I saw how The Silva Method became more and more relevant for the ills of modern society.
From depression, emotional trauma, poor health, to even suicidal tendencies, The Silva Method relieved, in some cases even eliminated these problems.
You see, I found out that The Silva Method tackles the root problem rather than the symptoms, that the alteration is SO deep that the changes are permanent and complete.
And as I continued the research, my own life took a sharp turn for the better.
Suppressed emotional conflicts began to be manifested, followed by powerful bursts of crystal-clear revelation.
I began to have all kinds of wondrous experiences that I’d read about in all those books that I thought were fiction. Deep insights. Spontaneous answers to life-long problems. Stress melting away. Those were the beginning of exciting times in my life.
More awesome still, The Silva Method began to seep into my daily existence. And overcoming everyday struggles like motherhood and commitments were such and easy and natural affair. And it too will become easy and natural for you soon.
I experienced personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough, to the point that there were No Shackles Left. For the first time…
…my life began to experienced TRUE GENUINE JOY!
I recorded down all these changes. Not just in me, but the multitudes of people who were trying The Silva Method for themselves. Using the latest in technology then and dividing them into batches and samples according to the specific improvements we were testing, the experiments begun.
And the results were MIND-BLOWING. Going above and beyond even our extremely high expectations!
You see, the test results shown them becoming more intelligent, more focused, more intuitive, and more creative. Their memories improve two and three-fold. The hindrances that bothered them earlier—so paralyzing in their grasp—barely ceased to matter.
Are you starting to get excited about the possibilities?
This work later became the foundation of everything we do at Silva—and one of the main reasons why…
Silva gives you unprecedented results that are quantum leaps beyond other approaches!
Throughout the 70’s, Scientists have uncovered the myriad of benefits that Silva has promised. In other words it wasn’t just hokum, Silva was really PROVEN to work!
This cutting-edge information, the fruits of decades of certified research, is packed into the course you’ll receive. Should you choose to take advantage of the totally risk-free offer I’m going to make you, you can INSTANTLY experience a life of exhilarating heights the way I did.
As I continued to use The Silva Method, I just couldn’t believe how much my life has changed. In the span of a few years, I broke free from the mistakes of my past. People were flocking to me because they genuinely liked me. My anger and bitterness faded away, and I was in TOTAL control of my destiny.
I started lucrative business ventures. I started training tens of thousands of people. It seemed like I was attracting success like bees to honey! I began to live the life of my dreams, a far cry from my mediocrity of before.
And everyday, I would hide in my meditation closet to practice The Silva Method that began with my dad.
My dear friends, I am in a good place. Without a shadow of a doubt, I can proclaim to you I am truly 100% HAPPY!
And all because of the simple, though potent power of The Silva Method.
Though there may still be challenges, they lose their grip because I now have control over my circumstances. Being an overcomer is so easy and natural!
Finally, I just had to put all I’d learned and experienced into something I could offer to others, at a very affordable price – the teachings of The Silva Method, so that you will experience the personal breakthroughs that I have experienced.
I had no idea then how big it would get. To date, we have millions of people in more than 180 countries using The Silva Method, and tipping points of massive surges of users are still happening.
And, these people excitedly testified over the massive changes and improvements that I’d come to take for granted.
I went through a ton of pain during those foolish years. In hindsight, I went through more struggles than was necessary, considering everything I needed to know was in my own house!
You, however, can take advantage of all the errors, all the misdirection, all the failed experiments—and all the breakthroughs—I made as I crafted what I firmly believe is not only the most revolutionary teachings on personal growth ever devised, but also the most effectual, proven, and relevant method ever developed to help you in SOARING above present circumstances.
In other words, you can FEEL limited and oppressed, but you will never BE limited and oppressed if you have embraced what Silva has to offer—you will always break the chains.
And now, in 2009, The Silva Method has undergone a revamp specially for YOU. The timeless principles and amazing results that I have experienced are now upgraded for the modern career-minded person like you, further enhanced by our STACKS of scientific research.
This isn’t meditation mumbo-jumbo. This is what could be the most breakthrough personal development course of our time…
Introducing the astonishing Silva Life System—UPDATED teachings of Silva catered to all your modern needs!
But more on this breakthrough course later—Now, I want to give you a brief intro about meditation and the alpha state of mind… And the massive benefits that it will bring to you!
Silva Life System starts off with meditation as its base.
In the first stage of the course, you learn how to put yourself into a deep level of meditation within 60 seconds flat. Nothing bothers you. Sounds don’t disturb you. Stress melts away. Headaches and migraines… may vanish forever. Productivity soars. Ambitions stay clearly on focus without distraction. Worries no longer suffocate you.
And, as TIME Magazine reported in a cover story… “Meditation is being recommended by more and more physicians as a way to prevent, slow or at least control the pain of chronic diseases like heart conditions, AIDS, cancer and infertility.”
Meaning, beside the mental and spiritual benefits, meditation is capable of healing your body.
In Silva Life System you will spend 10 sessions in deep Alpha and Theta level meditation as an instructor guides you mentally and verbally.
So, what is the Alpha Level of Mind?
Your brain functions on a small amount of electricity, much like a computer. This electrical current vibrates, pulses, at various speeds. When you are wide awake your brain vibrates 20 times per second—what scientists call the Beta frequency.
You are probably at this beta level of mind right now as you read this.
When you go to sleep, your brain frequency slows down, all the way to about half a cycle per second in the deepest levels of natural sleep. This is known as the Delta level.
In between Beta, the waking state, and Delta the deep sleep state, there are two other levels of mental activity.
When you are in a light level of sleep or in meditation you are in the Alpha range, which is 7 to 14 cycles per second. This is the center range and this is what we mean by saying “going to your center”.
Going to the alpha level or centering is the same as meditating. When someone meditates, scientifically, they are simply reducing their brain wave frequency to alpha. The Alpha level is the level we use to activate our minds.
Theta is a level of deeper relaxation or sleep, when your brain waves are at 4 to 7 cycles per second.
State Brain Wave Frequency Associated With
Beta 14 – 21 cycles per second (cps) and higher Waking State, the five senses. Perception of Time and Space
Alpha 7 – 14 cps Light sleep, meditation, intuition. No Time & Space limitation.
Theta 4 – 7 cps Deeper Sleep, Meditation.
Delta 0 – 4 cps Deep Sleep. You are unconscious at Delta.
There are many benefits of “going to the alpha level” or meditating.
Jose Silva found that people who can remain in the alpha level while analyzing information have access to more information than those who remain in beta to do their thinking. Surges of intuition, creative ideas and inspirational thoughts and come to people while at this alpha level.
Going to Alpha is also good for programming your mind. At the alpha level you can learn to overcome all kinds of problems, such as insomnia, tension and migraine headaches, bad habits, and much more. You can also program your mind to help you achieve your goals and make your dreams come true.
The Silva Life System holds the secret of unleashing the Powers of Your Mind. The Ability to Function Consciously at the Alpha Level.
The yogi’s, gurus, masters and enlightened ones know this. Alpha is the level for:
* Healing
* Intuition
* Creative Manifestation
* Heightened Empathy
* Work Stress
In other words, you can feel limited and oppressed, but you will never feel limited and oppressed if you have these specific techniques—you will always break the chains.
ALWAYS!

Develop Inner Power
Silva seminars produce dramatic change in graduates who attend them. Dr. James Motif of the Psychology Dept in Hope University, Australia studied the Silva seminar and found that it led to an increase in adherence to Moral and Ethical Standards, positive attitudes to family members and better social self-image. It also led to a decrease in self-criticism.
In addition, Dr George Desau, in a study on Silva graduates at the Incarnate School for Girls in San Antonio, TX found that the seminar boosted ego strength, helped prevent shyness, increased trust and cooperation among students and led to greater self-assurance and warm-heartedness.

The Silva Life System turned my destructive life around
“
I’m 27 and had already been seriously struggling with alcohol and drugs. At the beginning of last summer I realized I didn’t want to be this destructive person I saw in the mirror anymore. I started looking up things like prayer and meditation on the internet and came across names like Jose Silva and Burt Goldman. Since I started the Silva Life System, phenomenal things have happened. I learned to shift my entire focus or perspective on positive things. Scott, today I walk one mile and run two miles every single day and I feel FANTASTIC! School is a breeze, I think more clearly than ever, I’m not stressed or worried about anything and best of all, I’m sober and I love it!

Learn to Naturally Accelerate Your Body’s Rate of Healing
Amazingly, the scientific community and health professionals are only now beginning to speak out about a concept Jose Silva knew and taught for years… that “the mind is the driving force behind ALL healing.”
Using personal “case-working” techniques detailed in Silva Life System, you will discover scientifically-proven mental visualization methods to speed up recovery from illness, to instantly cure pain and injury, to obtain radiant health, help prevent illness and disease… and even how to send healing ‘vibrations’ and ‘imagery’ to loved ones from a distance.
Hard to believe? Well… consider that a world-renowned cancer therapy researcher described the Silva Technique as —the MOST POWERFUL SINGLE TOOL that he can offer to his patients.

Silva to extend life time
“Don Ingram used the Silva techniques since he was a 9 years old. Don was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when he was born and the doctors didn’t expect him to live over twenty years old. His mom Cecil was introduced to the Silva Method and wanted his son to learn him. Results were exceptional. He learned how to control his spams in order to avoid pain. Then, he learned how to right his name. Today, at the age of 45 years old, Don is still using the Silva Techniques every day. They have changed his future.”
~ Don Ingram from United States
Sleep Better and Learn to Practice Creative Dreaming
Silva teaches you to “command” your mind to let you fall asleep when you chose to. It also shows you how to set your internal clock to be able to wake up anytime—without the use of an alarm clock. Imagine how much productivity and energy you would gain by always having a good night’s rest.
You will also learn a wonderful technique to help you remember your dreams—and even to ask for dreams that could contain the solution to problems. Throughout history, people have credited dreams with helping them develop new ideas. The inventor Elias Howe got the idea for the sewing machine through a dream. Paul McCartney came up with the song “Yesterday”, in a dream. The structure of the Carbon-6 molecule was discovered through a dream.
Now you can use your dreams to help boost your creativity and inspiration.

Learn Faster, Remember Better, Improve Grades
Silva has been proven to raise IQ and to boost memory.
One project conducted at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala, in Tlaxcala, Mexico, to measure the effect of the Silva System on the learning process, intelligence quotient, and personality factors amongst university students. After completing the Silva BLS, the report reveals, the results of IQ tests indicate that 67.7 percent of the subjects improved their IQ classification.
Lillia Alcira Vacca, who authored a report of the project said, “From my perspective, and the results of my work with young people, the Silva Method could and should be taught to students in all academic levels in every country, in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity.”
In addition to boosting intelligence, it has been proven that functioning at the Alpha Level allows better retention and recall. You learn techniques that can be applied at school and during exams to help you recall information better.

Research on Three Fingers technique
“According to Dr. Harry E. Shanton, who conducted a research project at the University of Tasmania in Australia, declared in his article published in the Journal of the Society of Accelerative Learning and Teaching, “It would seem reasonable to conclude that the Three Fingers Technique (one of the popular Silva techniques) is able to facilitate short-term improvement in second high school students’ examination performance.” The students who had learned the Three Fingers Technique improved their scores by nine percentage points.”
~ Dr. Harry E. Shanton from University of Tasmania in Australia
Boost Your Creativity
Studies show that creativity is enhanced when functioning at the Alpha level.
Listening to Silva Life System, you will learn how to enter the Alpha level at will and then to use your creative mind to help you think of solutions to problems, enhance creativity or let inspiration flow.
Silva grads have used this process to develop patents, start new businesses, or to create works of art, literature and music. Here are some examples:
Best selling author Richard Bach praised the course publicly: “Mental discipline and creative visualization are what’s behind the power of the Silva method,” he said in an article in Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Bach also credits inspiration from the Silva Method as having helped him finish his best-selling book, ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’.
Band leader Doc Severinsen has composed music while at his Alpha level. A newspaper article says that he told them it helped him to be better in touch with his own spiritual life, and in doing so he became a much better person.
World renowned sculptor Harry Jackson said it brought him the peace of mind he had been searching for.

“A research project conduct by Dr. George Maycock at Appalachian State University in North Carolina demonstrated that students who completed the Silva training showed a significant increase in creative and intuitive-functioning. Of the 30 students who participated, 25 showed gains in intuitive abilities. Four of the other five (who did not show improvement) were already functioning in a high intuitive mode before the training. Intuition is valuable for students- and for adults too. One researcher found that 70 percent of gifted or high-IQ students were predominantly intuitive, while only 39% of students in regular classes were intuitive.”

Performance Enhancement for Sports, Career
Dr. Charles Garfield, former NASA researcher and current president of The Performance-Science Institute in Berkeley, California, talks about a startling experiment conducted by Soviet sports scientists.
The study examined the effect of mental training, including visualization, on four groups of world-class athletes just prior to the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The four groups of elite athletes were divided as follows:
* Group 1: did 100% physical training.
* Group 2: did 75% physical training, 25% mental training.
* Group 3: did 50% physical training, 50% mental training.
* Group 4: did 25% physical training, 75% mental training.
What the researchers found was that group 4—the group with the most mental training—had shown significantly greater improvement than group 3.
Likewise, group 3 showed more improvement than group 2, and group 2 showed more improvement than group 1.
The results were astonishing. Who would expect that athletes training mentally would be able to advance further than their counterparts who were training physically?
Garfield said, “During mental rehearsal, athletes create mental images of the exact movements they want to emulate in their sport. Use of this skill substantially increases the effectiveness of goal-setting, which up until then had been little more than a dull listing procedure.”
With Silva Life System, you learn to practice such mental rehearsals. The results can be outstanding.

Performance Enhancement Through Visualization
“In a landmark research study, Cecelia A. Prediger of Nyack Junior High School, New York, documented for the first time the dramatic amount of total improvement, as measured by goals scored, that takes place when athletes combine mental rehearsal and physical practice.
Studies by other researchers had demonstrated that mental practice at the Alpha level has almost as much benefit as the same amount of time spent in physical practice. The study confirmed their research, and went on to show an electrifying increase in goals scored when the total practice time is divided equally between mental and physical practice.”

The Universal Remote Control for your mind…
Silva Life System is one of the most advanced courses in meditation that you will ever encounter.
You see, most systems stop at training you to reach the Alpha level. If you’re purely seeking a sense of spiritual oneness, stress-free relaxation or calmness, then all meditation systems give you this.
But let’s go beyond all this ‘spiritual’ talk and go straight into talking about the pesky li’l thing known as reality.
Do you struggle to focus? Or do you struggle with procrastination or stress, on a daily basis? How about all three?
How about experiencing a course that takes all the benefits of meditation and elevates them to the level of your concerns, which are often more about career success and goal achievement rather than vague mumbo-jumbo?
Silva Life System is like the UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL found in the movie ‘Click‘, starring Adam Sandler.
Did you watch it? If you didn’t, the story is rather straightforward. The character played by Adam Sandler was just bogged down by daily life—juggling the responsibilities of marriage, children and career.
His inability to keep up with the intensity was symbolised in his ineptitude to maneuver the various remote controls that lay around the house. It reached the point where, by using the wrong remote control for the different devices, the television, radio, fan and even his son’s miniature car became instruments of chaos.
Doesn’t that remind us of our own lives, sometimes? Stressed. Haggard. Struggling to keep up? Long work days and nagging spouses? Ungrateful brats that are your children?
Everything spiraling out of control?
FORTUNATELY, the story does not end here.
One day, stumbling into some random mad scientist’s lair, Adam Sandler stumbled upon the ‘remote control of all remote controls’.
Dubbed the Universal Remote Control, it could control every single one of his previously errant devices at the click of the button.
But here was its most important function.
The Universal Remote Control could also control all facets of Sandler’s life.
It sped up promotions, rushed through chasing after the kids, even pausing when there were tense sessions at home.
Ever imagined what it’s like to have your very own such contraption?
Well, imagine no more.
Silva Life System is like your mental Universal Remote Control. So you can speed up achieving your goals, slow down the fast pace of life, and also enjoy the view as you effortlessly get there.
The course is designed for people who function in the world of Families, Careers, Jobs, Ambitions, Goals and Social Causes. You need more from meditation than just a way to relax and feel connected.
Silva Life System realizes that a practical person like you needs practical but life-changing principles, with practical but life-changing results.
Furthermore, we do so without getting you addicted to External Aids such as Headphones or Audio CDs.
Because, as you will learn through our 10 revelationary modules, all you really need is your mind.
“Dr. Robert P. Levoy, author of “The Successful Professional Practice” deplores the “ivory tower” into which many professionals place themselves. Come out from behind that desk, he says, ans sit “knee to Knee, eyeball to eyeball” with you client. Any change from separateness in the direction of mutuality is a change for the better – better human relationships, yes, but also better productivity, better efficiency, better financial results.”

Silva for business visualization
“I was skeptical about selling anything, because I had not been a sales oriented person. I improved myself to a point where I received the award as the highest first year sales rep for the insurance agency.”
~ Ray Tobias from Chicago, Illinois
Silva helped to win awards
“Within two years, I got an award as Most Cooperative Realtor of the Year. They had not issued the award in 10 years. It stated that it was granted to someone who showed professionalism, fairness…all my dreams were coming true, strictly from visualization. The award listed all the things I had programmed that I would be, two years before. I use the Silva Method techniques to make money, to make friends, and to gather knowledge. It’s been amazing that all of the dreams that I had as a little girl, the Silva Method was the vehicle of getting there.”
~ Linda Almaraz from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Silva for business visualization
“My business income rose dramatically soon after taking the course. I had become a full-time investment broker with A.G. Edwards & Sons and was still maintaining my insurance business. The Silva course makes your ‘strong points’ stronger and can turn any weakness into a strength. It helps to unlock your mind and set it free to seek out the knowledge it needs to grow and perform efficiently for you.”
~ Art Thomas from Michigan
It took me 15 days with Silva to understand my life purpose and find my inner self
I lacked direction in life and was guided by others most of the time, each of them used to pull me from all the directions and I felt each of them is right in their own way and was confused from within.
Now after practicing Silva life System for just 15 days, I am feeling a lot of changes in my life, I have understood my life’s purpose and only guided by my inner self which is always conspiring for my good and the good of this universe.
~ Sudhindra from India
So, what’s the catch? Are there any drawbacks at all?
Surprise, surprise , there are actually a few!
Firstly: I’ll warn you, Silva Life System will create a revolution in your soul. With our amazing audio technology, it will create a mirror for your soul.
You know, the one after a long hard look, and you’re horrified at what you find.
Dark places. Ugly bits. Unflattering wounds. The ones hidden by piling on layers and layers of ‘clothing’ over the years.
You know what I mean, don’t you?
Silva Life System strips you bare so that you can see yourself for who you are.
Because my friend, the first step towards healing is knowing that you need to be healed.
And yes, this program will create a real, lasting healing in your life. And your mind will war against you, because everything that wants to stumble and trip you up still wants to maintain their vice-like grip on you.
Yet, as you faithfully carry on, CD after CD, module after module… You will experience a change like no other. The discomfort is temporary. But the change and the freedom that will last FOREVER.
One day a short time later, your healing is complete. You will be whole. And you will be a champion in this thing called life.
We’ve never had anyone—considering the phenomenal results—who didn’t think it was worth it.
Secondly: Given the comprehensive nature of Silva Life System, participating in this program requires a certain time commitment. My bet is that after you experience personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough, you will look to each session with eagerness.
Why? Because the experience is awe-inspiring, and you feel so good afterwards. But still, you do have to be willing to make time for it. If you aren’t—if you don’t think the incredible mental, emotional, and spiritual rewards of Silva Life System are worth the relatively minor time commitment—this isn’t for you.
Thirdly and lastly: How about the questions of customer support? What if all these newfangled knowledge is beyond my grasps?
Let me tell you this… Here’s the major reason why Silva Life System has the edge over other personal development and mind control system in the world—its because we believe in… Follow up. Follow up. Follow up!
Because we believe so much in building a relationship with you, we have the most extensive customer service support in the field.
We do not outsource our customer support. Instead of employees who do not understand the intricacies of the Silva Method and rehearsing a set script, we have actual faithful proponents who will assist you with your EVERY NEED.
We want you to take advantage of us as we assist you to maximize the potential of Silva Life System, to guide you through the process of living the life of your dreams.
But if you are both able to endure the temporary discomfort (optional, of course) to receive your wholeness and healing, and you are okay with spending a little time on the course instead of slouching on the coach watching TV, that I guarantee that Silva Life System will be the BEST investment you will ever have in term of living the life of your dreams!
And, multitudes of doctors, naturopaths, and mental health practitioners, as well many other leaders in the personal growth field have sworn by the Silva Method for the past half-century.
We feel extremely confident, after over 50 years of investigation and hundreds of thousands of hours of use by millions of satisfied people, that the program is 100% effective and will deliver to you an absolutely astonishing, edifying, transformational experience of a lifetime.
In short, Silva Life System really give you two things:
* The most amazing mind control and personal development program in the market today, based on the life-changing insights of the Silva Method.
* Our unmatched customer support team—equally zealous in the Silva Method—as you are, helping you through the process that will bring change and fulfillment to your overstuffed modern life.
So, if you’re ready to give the program a shot, here’s my risk-free offer:
Your Life of Exhilarating Heights Begins Now!
How much you spend for a therapist—perhaps a few thousands for a few measly hours of work? Add to that price of meds or coping devices like alcohol, smoking or overeating. Perhaps you would spend another few thousand on them?
Well, given the amazing life-changing information and the 1000’s of hours of labour and research put into the program, how much do you think the program is worth?
You see, each of the 10 modules in the package is worth so much more in giving you SEVERAL LIFETIME’S WORTH of powerful techniques.
* To become the star player in the office.
* To achieve Every Single One of your dreams.
* To be financially independent way below the retirement age.
* To be the most loving partner to your spouse.
* To be healed of all your disease.
So at first, I decided to charge you $497.
Because you see, Silva Life System is a bargain because the material is premium Silva material, comparable to the best that we have to offer.
After all, our users spend THOUSANDS on our various products, and have Greatly benefited from them.
But I decided not to:
$497
We wanted to go with $297 instead.
However, my bickering with my business associates continued.
You see, when you put a bunch of Silva users in the room, there is an overwhelming eagerness to make sure everyone can experience the joy and life-transformation that comes from Silva Life System.
So, with our excitement over Silva overriding our business sense, we decided to do the UNTHINKABLE and slash the prices further!
$297
$97!!!
Can you see yourself such an amazing program with such value?
For just $3.20 cents a day, you can have the fulfilled life of your dreams. That’s all it takes. You will be healthy. You will be wealthy. And you will definitely be wise.
What a tiny price to live a life of significance, don’t you think?
However, you really are going to have to act quickly before they make us raise up the prices.
Right now, we want you to listen to the dormant dreams and desires inside you that are telling you to do this.
If you feel that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, order Silva Life System now. If you feel that you need the Universal Remote Control for your chaotic lifestyle, you really need to urgently embrace the empowered lifestyle that is waiting only a click away.
Silva as formula for desire, belief and expectancy
“Helene Hadsell, the author of the book “The Name and Claim It Game”, had taken the Silva Method seminar in Fort Worth and decide to become a Silva organizer for Dallas. Helene was known as the woman who won every contest she entered. She has won TV sets, bicycles, money and trips to Europe, New York City and Washington DC. Helene emphasized the importance of being positive and to use Jose Silva’s formula for desire, belief and expectancy.”
~ Helene Hadsell from Fort Worth
Believe me…
This Is A Tool You’ll Want To Refer To Over And Over Again To Positively Transform and Elevate Your Life For GOOD!
Silva has touched millions of lives within the span of a few decades. We are confident that Silva Life System will do the same to you.
Your Friend in Fulfillment,

The Participants
Isabel Silva-Chateau
C.R.N. A., B.L.S., A.P.N Advisor, Medical, CEU, and Intuitive Edge™ Programs
Isabel Silva Chateau, second born daughter of Paula and Jose Silva, founder of the original Silva Mind Control Method, was the primary research subject during Jose’s early studies. Isabel and her father spent many days and evenings doing research in how to develop ESP and worked hundreds of case studies using clairvoyance. Isabel was vital in validating the methodology now used to help any person develop their intuition.
In the mid 50’s Isabel and Jose conducted many demonstrations to the public and medical community in order to prove Jose’s two major discoveries. One being that a person could be active and still emit Alpha frequencies and the second that everybody could develop intuition. She traveled with her father to many conferences and workshops where she lectured about her personal experiences with clairvoyance and assisted others in developing theirs.
Isabel continues to combine her knowledge of mind, body and anesthesia. It is not uncommon for patients to ask for her services since Isabel is a highly regarded nurse anesthetist and her expertise results in very favorable outcomes during and post surgery as well as throughout the recovery period.
Isabel has always been way ahead of her time and has been using positive affirmations during surgery for many years. She has been in practice for almost 30 years.

Nelda has over thirty-five years experience teaching the Silva Method. She was in the first class that Jose Silva taught to the public in Amarillo, Texas, in 1966, and is the first instructor to be certified to present the Silva Method.

This brand new, limited edition, Silva Life System CD pack is the culmination of everything I know about breaking free and succeeding in this race called life.
“Sure, you can save 50% by purchasing the all-digital standard collection and playing it on your computer, or downloading it to your iPod or MP3-player, but I have designed the actual CDs to be treasured for the ages.
“When you spend a few dollars more and receive the CDs packaged in a beautifully-designed Collector’s Edition bundle, you can be content in the knowledge that whenever you need a hand to get you over a hurdle in life, you can just go to one of the volumes, pull out the CD with the answer and play it at your leisure.

Tuesday morning, 11:14 AM
Dear Sugiyanto.gik,
What I’m about to reveal may sound like stereotypical spiel from your run-of-the-mill meditation product… But it’s actually powerful cutting-edge stuff… It avoids the spiritual esoteric fluff and instead emphasizes RESULTS…
Like how it can make you more productive, more stress-free, more calm… A place where both career success and soul fulfillment resides. In fact, it will magically enhance ALL aspects of your life—be it mental, emotional and spiritual, and the metamorphosis so astonishing you think the floodgates of heaven have opened to bless you!
This isn’t hyperbole. Because as you will read later, every SINGLE benefit has been proven and endorsed by scientific study.
No programs dare claim that the change that takes place in your life is guaranteed, much less scientifically proven.
Only SILVA LIFE SYSTEM does!
Before I go on, I must warn you that this is somewhat of a lengthy letter. If I could shorten it to a few short paragraphs, I would. However, the information here is so vital and important to you that leaving it out would be doing you a disservice.
Reading this letter could be the starting point of the beginning of the rest of a new life, a life lived on your own term—healthy, fulfilled and successful.
Do you realize that you could be on the edge of personal breakthrough?
Do you realize that this could be your turning point?
Okay, let’s begin.
Imagine ten different modules that touch on ten different aspects of your modern life. In its default setting, powerful remastered audio puts your mind in a state of deep zen-like meditation, all in under a minute!
Then, within that short span of time, profound positive change is already taking place, burrowing deep within your nervous system and your life.
In a blink of an eye, anxiety, stress, indecision, addiction and other forms of emotional paralysis disappear. All at the push of a button.
In the 80’s, I experimented with the Silva Method that was rising in popularity. Already a fixture in the personal development community since then, I was wandering if the most popular mind control method in the world could transcend its vague spiritual roots and manifest itself in more tangible terms.
In other words, besides the inner peace (not saying that it’s a bad thing) that Silva Method delivers in spades, could these amazing principles translate well to this pesky thing knows as reality? I was questioning—could meditation and modern living mingle to produce empowered and victorious lives?
Well, after thousands of trials on tons of ‘non-spiritual’ subjects with sound scientific methods and experimentation processes, we uncovered the following remarkable results.
People who used the Silva Method for just an hour a day were able to achieve:
* Monk-like deep meditation in a spectacularly short time…
* Dramatic acceleration in the production of beneficial brain chemicals, including endorphins, anti-aging, etc…
* Overcome dysfunctional emotional patterns such as addiction and unforgiveness…
* Greater levels of intelligence and creativity…
* Significantly lower levels of stress…
* Previously unattainable goals that they put their mind to…
* Youthful vigor and vitality…
This is not as far-fetched as it seems.
You see, every one of these benefits has been the results of decades and decades of exhaustive research, with thousands of subjects displaying phenomenal results like these.
We call the program Silva Life System, the fruits of many, many man-hours of labor. It is indeed the most revolutionary meditation and personal development program in the world, because this is meditation made relevant for you and your modern needs.
Truly, we really believe you’ll find it to be the end of your search for something that really works.
All this from going through a simple program?
You got that right!
Now, let me explain why I feel Silva Life System is THE definitive program for the modern city-dwelling pragmatic folks like yourself…
My marriage became stronger and more loving
I could write a novel on how my life has changed over the last two years. I hated my job, frequent fights with my husband who I love with all my heart, taking care of aging parents, just feeling sorry for myself thinking life sucks. Until I found The Silva Method. I requested the free training program and listened and bought the course the same day. I decided to test the Silva Method with an experiment. Our local hardware store was holding a draw for a free Electric John Deere Gator. I decided to win this for my two grandsons for Christmas. I entered my ballots and followed the Silva method for two weeks going into my center, visualizing getting the phone call that I won, visualizing the boys in our yard driving the John Deere, hearing their giggles, then release, confident that my name would be drawn. Not everything happened exactly the way I visualized because my husband received the call, not me, BUT I WON!!
Helen Fowler
The Problem: Modern Society is DEADLY Intent on Crushing Us!
Face it, we live in dark, pressing times.
It seems that society and its various institutions seek to ensnare you, pull you down, and reduce you to a insignificant cog in the machine.
You flip open the newspapers, and there’s yet another case of corruption, injustice and horrific crime.
Even we ourselves are not spared. How many of us had suffered some form of violation and abuse?
How many of us have coped with the past with substance addiction, alcoholism and throwing ourselves into our work?
But maybe your way of dealing is not so dramatic. Yet, how many of us instead settle for bitterness, unforgiveness and pettiness? Allowing these demons to chain us up.
That is why we believe the madness… Content to live a life of mediocrity, so that we can be shielded from further pain.
That we are content to let our goals and dreams be wasted, as long as we can maintain some kind of order, even if it results in numbness and lifelessness.
Then, we see those that seem to live life on their own terms.
These people are not without problems or a past. Some of them even come from broken and abusive backgrounds.
And yet, they are able to be successful in whatever they do. They are star players in the office. They are in the pink of health. They raise up unbelievably obedient kids within an unbelievably loving marriage.
It was as if the weight of this screwed-up world slides off them effortlessly, like TEFLON. There are no shackles, no confines, only complete and utter freedom!
So… why do some people have it all while others stumble and crawl?
The answer is mind-bogglingly simple…
IT’S ALL IN THE MIND!
Let me be a bit more specific.
King Solomon says, “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.“
This means—if you envision the life of your dreams in your head, you WILL live the life of your dreams in this present reality.
Imagine being stress-free? Where you’re no longer in the rat race because you already made it.
Imagine being healed of all your sickness—physical or mental? Where your aches and pain is a distant memory.
Imagine moving on to bigger and better things? That even when past memories are still there, the power that these past memories have will MELT away.
Now here’s the cool part, as you envision in your heard these wonderful things… Well, they are the starting point of a new reality!
The latest buzzword flung around these days is the Law of Attraction… Where simply put—where you focus your mind, is what it would attract. The potential is UNLIMITED.
If you visualize healing, you will be healed.
If you visualize success, you will be successful.
If you visualize freedom, you will be set free.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the seemingly simple act of controlling your thoughts is INFINITELY harder than it looks.
We will ourselves on the right track, and suddenly a voice from the past whispers “you can’t do it” into your ear. Or it could be just an unloving spouse or rebellious children giving you a cold shoulder. Or it could be an overflowing in-tray waiting for you at the office…
And suddenly, we find ourselves back to square one.
You see, learning to control your mind is not a sheer question of will. If it were, millions of others would long be liberated.
You would have long being liberated.
Instead, You NEED TO grab knowledge to tap into the unlimited power of your mind, attracting the things you want in your life.
You must be connected to a system which is able to teach you the secrets of controlling your mind, rising above reality and seizing your inner potential.
That is why I’m writing to you about Silva Life System, scientifically proven and tested to be one of the world’s most effective mind development and stress control system.
The premise is simple: Through controlled relaxation and maximizing the use of the Logical Left Brain and the Creative Right Brain, ANYONE can bring massive positive transformation to their lives.
With the course, you will dictate your projected reality to the world—as you want it to be – and not have it dictated to you.
If knowledge is power, then the knowledge that Silva Life System provides is LIFE-CHANGING POWERFUL DYNAMITE!
The Story of the Prodigal Daughter
Laura Silva Quesada
Let me give you a real life example—I want to tell you my story.
Like you, I was looking for something in my life. Something to give me significance and purpose – and most of the time, I couldn’t find it.
Quite surprising, isn’t it? Considering I am the daughter of the founder of the most famous mind control system on the planet, but I swear it’s true!
Sometimes, I do get a little taste of it, but when I rediscovered the timeless principles of my father’s research, I could never piece it all together.
Back in the early eighties—when I rebelled against my father and wanted to find the answers on my own—my life was definitely not on the right track.
It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. I tried just about everything – seminars, workshops, all kinds of different philosophies and systems. I must have spent at least tens of thousands of dollars on self-help books and courses.
ANYTHING to step out of my dad’s shadow.
You name it; I tried it—usually with all my heart, soul and mind.
Well, it’s not that I didn’t experience breakthroughs with all that effort. In fact, I have grown a lot since that time. Occasionally, I even have what people called epiphanies. Eventually, though, I still felt hollow inside, and the effects were at best, temporary.
It was as if that all those things – despite the promises and positive effects, still left me unsatisfied. As if I was stuffing myself with junk food rather than a hearty wholesome main course.
You probably know what I’m talking about, don’t you?
Then, rather suddenly, something really amazing transpired. I rediscovered my dad’s system—The Silva Method.
One day in the starting stages of the 80’s, in desperation over the futility of my quest, I started listening to The Silva Method tapes that were always lying around the house.
To my utter surprise, I realized how focused and sharp I became. It was as if a weight got taken off my shoulders and I’m now free to soar and fly. A flood of peace rushed in, SWEEPING AWAY the desperation, anxiety and bitterness that had plagued me my whole life!
Imagine, just a few days earlier I was kicking those tapes across the room because of how useless I thought they were!
Most astonishingly, this feeling lasted for days!
And it was at that point in time, the Prodigal Daughter decided to return home.
As you can tell, I was really zealous about spreading the life-changing message of Silva.
After having my life transformed in such a dramatic manner, I was also determined to propel the research that my dad has started on The Silva Method to a whole new level, and to FULLY experience it with my own life.
Over the next 2 decades I went on an unbelievable adventure as I made new discoveries that pushed The Silva Method into new areas of human consciousness.
Having worked with the top scientists and spiritual masters, I saw how The Silva Method became more and more relevant for the ills of modern society.
From depression, emotional trauma, poor health, to even suicidal tendencies, The Silva Method relieved, in some cases even eliminated these problems.
You see, I found out that The Silva Method tackles the root problem rather than the symptoms, that the alteration is SO deep that the changes are permanent and complete.
And as I continued the research, my own life took a sharp turn for the better.
Suppressed emotional conflicts began to be manifested, followed by powerful bursts of crystal-clear revelation.
I began to have all kinds of wondrous experiences that I’d read about in all those books that I thought were fiction. Deep insights. Spontaneous answers to life-long problems. Stress melting away. Those were the beginning of exciting times in my life.
More awesome still, The Silva Method began to seep into my daily existence. And overcoming everyday struggles like motherhood and commitments were such and easy and natural affair. And it too will become easy and natural for you soon.
I experienced personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough, to the point that there were No Shackles Left. For the first time…
…my life began to experienced TRUE GENUINE JOY!
I recorded down all these changes. Not just in me, but the multitudes of people who were trying The Silva Method for themselves. Using the latest in technology then and dividing them into batches and samples according to the specific improvements we were testing, the experiments begun.
And the results were MIND-BLOWING. Going above and beyond even our extremely high expectations!
You see, the test results shown them becoming more intelligent, more focused, more intuitive, and more creative. Their memories improve two and three-fold. The hindrances that bothered them earlier—so paralyzing in their grasp—barely ceased to matter.
Are you starting to get excited about the possibilities?
This work later became the foundation of everything we do at Silva—and one of the main reasons why…
Silva gives you unprecedented results that are quantum leaps beyond other approaches!
Throughout the 70’s, Scientists have uncovered the myriad of benefits that Silva has promised. In other words it wasn’t just hokum, Silva was really PROVEN to work!
This cutting-edge information, the fruits of decades of certified research, is packed into the course you’ll receive. Should you choose to take advantage of the totally risk-free offer I’m going to make you, you can INSTANTLY experience a life of exhilarating heights the way I did.
As I continued to use The Silva Method, I just couldn’t believe how much my life has changed. In the span of a few years, I broke free from the mistakes of my past. People were flocking to me because they genuinely liked me. My anger and bitterness faded away, and I was in TOTAL control of my destiny.
I started lucrative business ventures. I started training tens of thousands of people. It seemed like I was attracting success like bees to honey! I began to live the life of my dreams, a far cry from my mediocrity of before.
And everyday, I would hide in my meditation closet to practice The Silva Method that began with my dad.
My dear friends, I am in a good place. Without a shadow of a doubt, I can proclaim to you I am truly 100% HAPPY!
And all because of the simple, though potent power of The Silva Method.
Though there may still be challenges, they lose their grip because I now have control over my circumstances. Being an overcomer is so easy and natural!
Finally, I just had to put all I’d learned and experienced into something I could offer to others, at a very affordable price – the teachings of The Silva Method, so that you will experience the personal breakthroughs that I have experienced.
I had no idea then how big it would get. To date, we have millions of people in more than 180 countries using The Silva Method, and tipping points of massive surges of users are still happening.
And, these people excitedly testified over the massive changes and improvements that I’d come to take for granted.
I went through a ton of pain during those foolish years. In hindsight, I went through more struggles than was necessary, considering everything I needed to know was in my own house!
You, however, can take advantage of all the errors, all the misdirection, all the failed experiments—and all the breakthroughs—I made as I crafted what I firmly believe is not only the most revolutionary teachings on personal growth ever devised, but also the most effectual, proven, and relevant method ever developed to help you in SOARING above present circumstances.
In other words, you can FEEL limited and oppressed, but you will never BE limited and oppressed if you have embraced what Silva has to offer—you will always break the chains.
And now, in 2009, The Silva Method has undergone a revamp specially for YOU. The timeless principles and amazing results that I have experienced are now upgraded for the modern career-minded person like you, further enhanced by our STACKS of scientific research.
This isn’t meditation mumbo-jumbo. This is what could be the most breakthrough personal development course of our time…
Introducing the astonishing Silva Life System—UPDATED teachings of Silva catered to all your modern needs!
But more on this breakthrough course later—Now, I want to give you a brief intro about meditation and the alpha state of mind… And the massive benefits that it will bring to you!
Silva Life System starts off with meditation as its base.
In the first stage of the course, you learn how to put yourself into a deep level of meditation within 60 seconds flat. Nothing bothers you. Sounds don’t disturb you. Stress melts away. Headaches and migraines… may vanish forever. Productivity soars. Ambitions stay clearly on focus without distraction. Worries no longer suffocate you.
And, as TIME Magazine reported in a cover story… “Meditation is being recommended by more and more physicians as a way to prevent, slow or at least control the pain of chronic diseases like heart conditions, AIDS, cancer and infertility.”
Meaning, beside the mental and spiritual benefits, meditation is capable of healing your body.
In Silva Life System you will spend 10 sessions in deep Alpha and Theta level meditation as an instructor guides you mentally and verbally.
So, what is the Alpha Level of Mind?
Your brain functions on a small amount of electricity, much like a computer. This electrical current vibrates, pulses, at various speeds. When you are wide awake your brain vibrates 20 times per second—what scientists call the Beta frequency.
You are probably at this beta level of mind right now as you read this.
When you go to sleep, your brain frequency slows down, all the way to about half a cycle per second in the deepest levels of natural sleep. This is known as the Delta level.
In between Beta, the waking state, and Delta the deep sleep state, there are two other levels of mental activity.
When you are in a light level of sleep or in meditation you are in the Alpha range, which is 7 to 14 cycles per second. This is the center range and this is what we mean by saying “going to your center”.
Going to the alpha level or centering is the same as meditating. When someone meditates, scientifically, they are simply reducing their brain wave frequency to alpha. The Alpha level is the level we use to activate our minds.
Theta is a level of deeper relaxation or sleep, when your brain waves are at 4 to 7 cycles per second.
State Brain Wave Frequency Associated With
Beta 14 – 21 cycles per second (cps) and higher Waking State, the five senses. Perception of Time and Space
Alpha 7 – 14 cps Light sleep, meditation, intuition. No Time & Space limitation.
Theta 4 – 7 cps Deeper Sleep, Meditation.
Delta 0 – 4 cps Deep Sleep. You are unconscious at Delta.
There are many benefits of “going to the alpha level” or meditating.
Jose Silva found that people who can remain in the alpha level while analyzing information have access to more information than those who remain in beta to do their thinking. Surges of intuition, creative ideas and inspirational thoughts and come to people while at this alpha level.
Going to Alpha is also good for programming your mind. At the alpha level you can learn to overcome all kinds of problems, such as insomnia, tension and migraine headaches, bad habits, and much more. You can also program your mind to help you achieve your goals and make your dreams come true.
The Silva Life System holds the secret of unleashing the Powers of Your Mind. The Ability to Function Consciously at the Alpha Level.
The yogi’s, gurus, masters and enlightened ones know this. Alpha is the level for:
* Healing
* Intuition
* Creative Manifestation
* Heightened Empathy
* Work Stress
In other words, you can feel limited and oppressed, but you will never feel limited and oppressed if you have these specific techniques—you will always break the chains.
ALWAYS!

Develop Inner Power
Silva seminars produce dramatic change in graduates who attend them. Dr. James Motif of the Psychology Dept in Hope University, Australia studied the Silva seminar and found that it led to an increase in adherence to Moral and Ethical Standards, positive attitudes to family members and better social self-image. It also led to a decrease in self-criticism.
In addition, Dr George Desau, in a study on Silva graduates at the Incarnate School for Girls in San Antonio, TX found that the seminar boosted ego strength, helped prevent shyness, increased trust and cooperation among students and led to greater self-assurance and warm-heartedness.

The Silva Life System turned my destructive life around
“
I’m 27 and had already been seriously struggling with alcohol and drugs. At the beginning of last summer I realized I didn’t want to be this destructive person I saw in the mirror anymore. I started looking up things like prayer and meditation on the internet and came across names like Jose Silva and Burt Goldman. Since I started the Silva Life System, phenomenal things have happened. I learned to shift my entire focus or perspective on positive things. Scott, today I walk one mile and run two miles every single day and I feel FANTASTIC! School is a breeze, I think more clearly than ever, I’m not stressed or worried about anything and best of all, I’m sober and I love it!

Learn to Naturally Accelerate Your Body’s Rate of Healing
Amazingly, the scientific community and health professionals are only now beginning to speak out about a concept Jose Silva knew and taught for years… that “the mind is the driving force behind ALL healing.”
Using personal “case-working” techniques detailed in Silva Life System, you will discover scientifically-proven mental visualization methods to speed up recovery from illness, to instantly cure pain and injury, to obtain radiant health, help prevent illness and disease… and even how to send healing ‘vibrations’ and ‘imagery’ to loved ones from a distance.
Hard to believe? Well… consider that a world-renowned cancer therapy researcher described the Silva Technique as —the MOST POWERFUL SINGLE TOOL that he can offer to his patients.

Silva to extend life time
“Don Ingram used the Silva techniques since he was a 9 years old. Don was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when he was born and the doctors didn’t expect him to live over twenty years old. His mom Cecil was introduced to the Silva Method and wanted his son to learn him. Results were exceptional. He learned how to control his spams in order to avoid pain. Then, he learned how to right his name. Today, at the age of 45 years old, Don is still using the Silva Techniques every day. They have changed his future.”
~ Don Ingram from United States
Sleep Better and Learn to Practice Creative Dreaming
Silva teaches you to “command” your mind to let you fall asleep when you chose to. It also shows you how to set your internal clock to be able to wake up anytime—without the use of an alarm clock. Imagine how much productivity and energy you would gain by always having a good night’s rest.
You will also learn a wonderful technique to help you remember your dreams—and even to ask for dreams that could contain the solution to problems. Throughout history, people have credited dreams with helping them develop new ideas. The inventor Elias Howe got the idea for the sewing machine through a dream. Paul McCartney came up with the song “Yesterday”, in a dream. The structure of the Carbon-6 molecule was discovered through a dream.
Now you can use your dreams to help boost your creativity and inspiration.

Learn Faster, Remember Better, Improve Grades
Silva has been proven to raise IQ and to boost memory.
One project conducted at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala, in Tlaxcala, Mexico, to measure the effect of the Silva System on the learning process, intelligence quotient, and personality factors amongst university students. After completing the Silva BLS, the report reveals, the results of IQ tests indicate that 67.7 percent of the subjects improved their IQ classification.
Lillia Alcira Vacca, who authored a report of the project said, “From my perspective, and the results of my work with young people, the Silva Method could and should be taught to students in all academic levels in every country, in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity.”
In addition to boosting intelligence, it has been proven that functioning at the Alpha Level allows better retention and recall. You learn techniques that can be applied at school and during exams to help you recall information better.

Research on Three Fingers technique
“According to Dr. Harry E. Shanton, who conducted a research project at the University of Tasmania in Australia, declared in his article published in the Journal of the Society of Accelerative Learning and Teaching, “It would seem reasonable to conclude that the Three Fingers Technique (one of the popular Silva techniques) is able to facilitate short-term improvement in second high school students’ examination performance.” The students who had learned the Three Fingers Technique improved their scores by nine percentage points.”
~ Dr. Harry E. Shanton from University of Tasmania in Australia
Boost Your Creativity
Studies show that creativity is enhanced when functioning at the Alpha level.
Listening to Silva Life System, you will learn how to enter the Alpha level at will and then to use your creative mind to help you think of solutions to problems, enhance creativity or let inspiration flow.
Silva grads have used this process to develop patents, start new businesses, or to create works of art, literature and music. Here are some examples:
Best selling author Richard Bach praised the course publicly: “Mental discipline and creative visualization are what’s behind the power of the Silva method,” he said in an article in Harper’s Bazaar magazine. Bach also credits inspiration from the Silva Method as having helped him finish his best-selling book, ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’.
Band leader Doc Severinsen has composed music while at his Alpha level. A newspaper article says that he told them it helped him to be better in touch with his own spiritual life, and in doing so he became a much better person.
World renowned sculptor Harry Jackson said it brought him the peace of mind he had been searching for.

“A research project conduct by Dr. George Maycock at Appalachian State University in North Carolina demonstrated that students who completed the Silva training showed a significant increase in creative and intuitive-functioning. Of the 30 students who participated, 25 showed gains in intuitive abilities. Four of the other five (who did not show improvement) were already functioning in a high intuitive mode before the training. Intuition is valuable for students- and for adults too. One researcher found that 70 percent of gifted or high-IQ students were predominantly intuitive, while only 39% of students in regular classes were intuitive.”

Performance Enhancement for Sports, Career
Dr. Charles Garfield, former NASA researcher and current president of The Performance-Science Institute in Berkeley, California, talks about a startling experiment conducted by Soviet sports scientists.
The study examined the effect of mental training, including visualization, on four groups of world-class athletes just prior to the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The four groups of elite athletes were divided as follows:
* Group 1: did 100% physical training.
* Group 2: did 75% physical training, 25% mental training.
* Group 3: did 50% physical training, 50% mental training.
* Group 4: did 25% physical training, 75% mental training.
What the researchers found was that group 4—the group with the most mental training—had shown significantly greater improvement than group 3.
Likewise, group 3 showed more improvement than group 2, and group 2 showed more improvement than group 1.
The results were astonishing. Who would expect that athletes training mentally would be able to advance further than their counterparts who were training physically?
Garfield said, “During mental rehearsal, athletes create mental images of the exact movements they want to emulate in their sport. Use of this skill substantially increases the effectiveness of goal-setting, which up until then had been little more than a dull listing procedure.”
With Silva Life System, you learn to practice such mental rehearsals. The results can be outstanding.

Performance Enhancement Through Visualization
“In a landmark research study, Cecelia A. Prediger of Nyack Junior High School, New York, documented for the first time the dramatic amount of total improvement, as measured by goals scored, that takes place when athletes combine mental rehearsal and physical practice.
Studies by other researchers had demonstrated that mental practice at the Alpha level has almost as much benefit as the same amount of time spent in physical practice. The study confirmed their research, and went on to show an electrifying increase in goals scored when the total practice time is divided equally between mental and physical practice.”

The Universal Remote Control for your mind…
Silva Life System is one of the most advanced courses in meditation that you will ever encounter.
You see, most systems stop at training you to reach the Alpha level. If you’re purely seeking a sense of spiritual oneness, stress-free relaxation or calmness, then all meditation systems give you this.
But let’s go beyond all this ‘spiritual’ talk and go straight into talking about the pesky li’l thing known as reality.
Do you struggle to focus? Or do you struggle with procrastination or stress, on a daily basis? How about all three?
How about experiencing a course that takes all the benefits of meditation and elevates them to the level of your concerns, which are often more about career success and goal achievement rather than vague mumbo-jumbo?
Silva Life System is like the UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL found in the movie ‘Click‘, starring Adam Sandler.
Did you watch it? If you didn’t, the story is rather straightforward. The character played by Adam Sandler was just bogged down by daily life—juggling the responsibilities of marriage, children and career.
His inability to keep up with the intensity was symbolised in his ineptitude to maneuver the various remote controls that lay around the house. It reached the point where, by using the wrong remote control for the different devices, the television, radio, fan and even his son’s miniature car became instruments of chaos.
Doesn’t that remind us of our own lives, sometimes? Stressed. Haggard. Struggling to keep up? Long work days and nagging spouses? Ungrateful brats that are your children?
Everything spiraling out of control?
FORTUNATELY, the story does not end here.
One day, stumbling into some random mad scientist’s lair, Adam Sandler stumbled upon the ‘remote control of all remote controls’.
Dubbed the Universal Remote Control, it could control every single one of his previously errant devices at the click of the button.
But here was its most important function.
The Universal Remote Control could also control all facets of Sandler’s life.
It sped up promotions, rushed through chasing after the kids, even pausing when there were tense sessions at home.
Ever imagined what it’s like to have your very own such contraption?
Well, imagine no more.
Silva Life System is like your mental Universal Remote Control. So you can speed up achieving your goals, slow down the fast pace of life, and also enjoy the view as you effortlessly get there.
The course is designed for people who function in the world of Families, Careers, Jobs, Ambitions, Goals and Social Causes. You need more from meditation than just a way to relax and feel connected.
Silva Life System realizes that a practical person like you needs practical but life-changing principles, with practical but life-changing results.
Furthermore, we do so without getting you addicted to External Aids such as Headphones or Audio CDs.
Because, as you will learn through our 10 revelationary modules, all you really need is your mind.
“Dr. Robert P. Levoy, author of “The Successful Professional Practice” deplores the “ivory tower” into which many professionals place themselves. Come out from behind that desk, he says, ans sit “knee to Knee, eyeball to eyeball” with you client. Any change from separateness in the direction of mutuality is a change for the better – better human relationships, yes, but also better productivity, better efficiency, better financial results.”

Silva for business visualization
“I was skeptical about selling anything, because I had not been a sales oriented person. I improved myself to a point where I received the award as the highest first year sales rep for the insurance agency.”
~ Ray Tobias from Chicago, Illinois
Silva helped to win awards
“Within two years, I got an award as Most Cooperative Realtor of the Year. They had not issued the award in 10 years. It stated that it was granted to someone who showed professionalism, fairness…all my dreams were coming true, strictly from visualization. The award listed all the things I had programmed that I would be, two years before. I use the Silva Method techniques to make money, to make friends, and to gather knowledge. It’s been amazing that all of the dreams that I had as a little girl, the Silva Method was the vehicle of getting there.”
~ Linda Almaraz from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Silva for business visualization
“My business income rose dramatically soon after taking the course. I had become a full-time investment broker with A.G. Edwards & Sons and was still maintaining my insurance business. The Silva course makes your ‘strong points’ stronger and can turn any weakness into a strength. It helps to unlock your mind and set it free to seek out the knowledge it needs to grow and perform efficiently for you.”
~ Art Thomas from Michigan
It took me 15 days with Silva to understand my life purpose and find my inner self
I lacked direction in life and was guided by others most of the time, each of them used to pull me from all the directions and I felt each of them is right in their own way and was confused from within.
Now after practicing Silva life System for just 15 days, I am feeling a lot of changes in my life, I have understood my life’s purpose and only guided by my inner self which is always conspiring for my good and the good of this universe.
~ Sudhindra from India
So, what’s the catch? Are there any drawbacks at all?
Surprise, surprise , there are actually a few!
Firstly: I’ll warn you, Silva Life System will create a revolution in your soul. With our amazing audio technology, it will create a mirror for your soul.
You know, the one after a long hard look, and you’re horrified at what you find.
Dark places. Ugly bits. Unflattering wounds. The ones hidden by piling on layers and layers of ‘clothing’ over the years.
You know what I mean, don’t you?
Silva Life System strips you bare so that you can see yourself for who you are.
Because my friend, the first step towards healing is knowing that you need to be healed.
And yes, this program will create a real, lasting healing in your life. And your mind will war against you, because everything that wants to stumble and trip you up still wants to maintain their vice-like grip on you.
Yet, as you faithfully carry on, CD after CD, module after module… You will experience a change like no other. The discomfort is temporary. But the change and the freedom that will last FOREVER.
One day a short time later, your healing is complete. You will be whole. And you will be a champion in this thing called life.
We’ve never had anyone—considering the phenomenal results—who didn’t think it was worth it.
Secondly: Given the comprehensive nature of Silva Life System, participating in this program requires a certain time commitment. My bet is that after you experience personal breakthrough after personal breakthrough, you will look to each session with eagerness.
Why? Because the experience is awe-inspiring, and you feel so good afterwards. But still, you do have to be willing to make time for it. If you aren’t—if you don’t think the incredible mental, emotional, and spiritual rewards of Silva Life System are worth the relatively minor time commitment—this isn’t for you.
Thirdly and lastly: How about the questions of customer support? What if all these newfangled knowledge is beyond my grasps?
Let me tell you this… Here’s the major reason why Silva Life System has the edge over other personal development and mind control system in the world—its because we believe in… Follow up. Follow up. Follow up!
Because we believe so much in building a relationship with you, we have the most extensive customer service support in the field.
We do not outsource our customer support. Instead of employees who do not understand the intricacies of the Silva Method and rehearsing a set script, we have actual faithful proponents who will assist you with your EVERY NEED.
We want you to take advantage of us as we assist you to maximize the potential of Silva Life System, to guide you through the process of living the life of your dreams.
But if you are both able to endure the temporary discomfort (optional, of course) to receive your wholeness and healing, and you are okay with spending a little time on the course instead of slouching on the coach watching TV, that I guarantee that Silva Life System will be the BEST investment you will ever have in term of living the life of your dreams!
And, multitudes of doctors, naturopaths, and mental health practitioners, as well many other leaders in the personal growth field have sworn by the Silva Method for the past half-century.
We feel extremely confident, after over 50 years of investigation and hundreds of thousands of hours of use by millions of satisfied people, that the program is 100% effective and will deliver to you an absolutely astonishing, edifying, transformational experience of a lifetime.
In short, Silva Life System really give you two things:
* The most amazing mind control and personal development program in the market today, based on the life-changing insights of the Silva Method.
* Our unmatched customer support team—equally zealous in the Silva Method—as you are, helping you through the process that will bring change and fulfillment to your overstuffed modern life.
So, if you’re ready to give the program a shot, here’s my risk-free offer:
Your Life of Exhilarating Heights Begins Now!
How much you spend for a therapist—perhaps a few thousands for a few measly hours of work? Add to that price of meds or coping devices like alcohol, smoking or overeating. Perhaps you would spend another few thousand on them?
Well, given the amazing life-changing information and the 1000’s of hours of labour and research put into the program, how much do you think the program is worth?
You see, each of the 10 modules in the package is worth so much more in giving you SEVERAL LIFETIME’S WORTH of powerful techniques.
* To become the star player in the office.
* To achieve Every Single One of your dreams.
* To be financially independent way below the retirement age.
* To be the most loving partner to your spouse.
* To be healed of all your disease.
So at first, I decided to charge you $497.
Because you see, Silva Life System is a bargain because the material is premium Silva material, comparable to the best that we have to offer.
After all, our users spend THOUSANDS on our various products, and have Greatly benefited from them.
But I decided not to:
$497
We wanted to go with $297 instead.
However, my bickering with my business associates continued.
You see, when you put a bunch of Silva users in the room, there is an overwhelming eagerness to make sure everyone can experience the joy and life-transformation that comes from Silva Life System.
So, with our excitement over Silva overriding our business sense, we decided to do the UNTHINKABLE and slash the prices further!
$297
$97!!!
Can you see yourself such an amazing program with such value?
For just $3.20 cents a day, you can have the fulfilled life of your dreams. That’s all it takes. You will be healthy. You will be wealthy. And you will definitely be wise.
What a tiny price to live a life of significance, don’t you think?
However, you really are going to have to act quickly before they make us raise up the prices.
Right now, we want you to listen to the dormant dreams and desires inside you that are telling you to do this.
If you feel that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, order Silva Life System now. If you feel that you need the Universal Remote Control for your chaotic lifestyle, you really need to urgently embrace the empowered lifestyle that is waiting only a click away.
Silva as formula for desire, belief and expectancy

Helene was known as the woman who won every contest she entered. She has won TV sets, bicycles, money and trips to Europe, New York City and Washington DC. Helene emphasized the importance of being positive and to use Jose Silva’s formula for desire, belief and expectancy.”

Isabel Silva-Chateau
C.R.N. A., B.L.S., A.P.N Advisor, Medical, CEU, and Intuitive Edge™ Programs
Isabel Silva Chateau, second born daughter of Paula and Jose Silva, founder of the original Silva Mind Control Method, was the primary research subject during Jose’s early studies. Isabel and her father spent many days and evenings doing research in how to develop ESP and worked hundreds of case studies using clairvoyance. Isabel was vital in validating the methodology now used to help any person develop their intuition.
In the mid 50’s Isabel and Jose conducted many demonstrations to the public and medical community in order to prove Jose’s two major discoveries. One being that a person could be active and still emit Alpha frequencies and the second that everybody could develop intuition. She traveled with her father to many conferences and workshops where she lectured about her personal experiences with clairvoyance and assisted others in developing theirs.
Isabel continues to combine her knowledge of mind, body and anesthesia. It is not uncommon for patients to ask for her services since Isabel is a highly regarded nurse anesthetist and her expertise results in very favorable outcomes during and post surgery as well as throughout the recovery period.
Isabel has always been way ahead of her time and has been using positive affirmations during surgery for many years. She has been in practice for almost 30 years.

“Sure, you can save 50% by purchasing the all-digital standard collection and playing it on your computer, or downloading it to your iPod or MP3-player, but I have designed the actual CDs to be treasured for the ages.
“When you spend a few dollars more and receive the CDs packaged in a beautifully-designed Collector’s Edition bundle, you can be content in the knowledge that whenever you need a hand to get you over a hurdle in life, you can just go to one of the volumes, pull out the CD with the answer and play it at your leisure.

the early lif of Muhammad
Early Life of the Prophet
Muhammad (whose name means "highly praised") was born in Mecca in 570 AD. His father died shortly before his birth, and he lost his mother at the age of six. The young orphan was then raised primarily by his uncle, for whom he worked as a shepherd. At age 9 (some sources say 12), he joined his uncle on a caravan to Syria.
As a young man, Muhammad worked as a camel driver between Syria and Arabia. Soon he established a career managing caravans on behalf of merchants. Through his travel first with his uncle and later in his career, Muhammad came into contact with people of many nationalities and faiths, including Jews, Christians and pagans.
At age 25, Muhammad was employed by Khadija, a wealthy Meccan widow 15 years his senior. The two were married, and by all accounts enjoyed a loving and happy marriage. Early records report that "God comforted him through her, for she made his burden light." Although polygamy was common practice at the time, Muhammad took no other wife than Khadija until her death 24 years later.
Divine Revelation
In his late 30s Muhammad took to regularly visiting a cave in Mount Hira, on the outskirts of Mecca, to seek solitude and contemplation. In 610, at the age of 40, Muhammad returned from one such visit telling his wife he had either gone mad or become a prophet, for he had been visited by an angel. The initially startled Khadija became his first convert.
Muhammad reported that while in a trance-like state, the Angel Gabriel appeared to him and said "Proclaim!" But like Moses, Muhammed was a reluctant prophet. He replied, "I am not a proclaimer." The angel persisted, and the Prophet repeatedly resisted, until the angel finally overwhelmed Muhammad and commanded him:
Proclaim in the name of your Lord who created!
Created man from a clot of blood.
Proclaim: Your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who teaches by the pen;
Teaches man what he knew not. (Qur'an 96:1-3)
After receiving Khadija's support, and additional angelic visits, Muhammad became confident he had indeed been chosen as the messenger of God and began to proclaim as he had been commanded.
Muhammad's message to his countrymen was to convert from pagan polytheism, immorality and materialism, repent from evil and worship Allah, the only true God. He was always careful to clarify his role in God's work - he was only a prophet. He was not an angel, he did not know the mind of God, he did not work miracles. He simply preached what he had received.
In the first three years of his ministry, Muhammad gained only 40 followers. And as his teachings threatened the Meccan way of life, both moral and economic, he and his followers experienced heavy persecution. It first took the form of mockery, but soon turned into open violence. Members of the small movement were stoned, covered in dirt as they prayed, beat with sticks, thrown into prison and refused service by merchants.
Hijira
Persecution continued to increase until Muhammad received some welcome news: he had gained followers in the city of Yathrib, 280 miles north of Mecca. The city was in need of a strong leader, and a delegation from Yathrib proposed that Muhammad take the job. In return, they pledged to worship Allah only, obey Muhammad and defend him and his followers to the death. Allah revealed to Muhammed his approval of this arrangement, and Muhammad made plans to escape to Yathrib.
The leaders in Mecca heard of the planned escape, and attempted to prevent it. But Muhammad and his close friend Abu Bakr managed to make a narrow escape north out of the city, evading a Meccan search party and arriving safely in Yathrib. This event is celebrated by Muslims as the Hijira. The year in which it occurred, 622, is the date at which the Muslim calendar begins. Yathrib was renamed Medinat al-Nabi, "the City of the Prophet," and is now known simply as Medina, "the City."
In Medina, Muhammad proved himself an able politician and statesman as well as a prophet.
Exercising superb statecraft, he welded the five heterogenous and conflicting tribes of the city, three of which were Jewish, into an orderly confederation.... His reputation spread and people began to flock from every part of Arabia to see the man who had wrought this 'miracle.' (Smith, 230).
Battle for Mecca
After establishing himself in Medina and accomplishing the job he had been invited to do, the people of Medina began several years of battle with Muhammad's former home city. In 624, the Muslims won their first battle against the Meccans. As the latter had a much larger army, the former took the victory as a sign that God was on their side. However, a subsequent battle was not victorious, and Muhammad himself was wounded. But in 627, the Meccans attacked Medina, and Medina came out on top. The Prophet was not to lose again.
In 630, Muhammad and his forces marched to Mecca and defeated it. The Prophet rededicated the Ka'ba temple to Allah, witnessed the conversion to Islam of nearly the entire Meccan population, then returned to Medina. Muhammad died in 632, having conquered nearly all of Arabia for Islam.
Spread of Islam
By 634, Islam had taken over the entire Arabian peninsula. Within 100 years of Muhammad's death, it had reached the Atlantic in one direction and borders of China in the other. This success was due in large part to the military and political abilities of Muhammad's successors, the caliphs.

As a young man, Muhammad worked as a camel driver between Syria and Arabia. Soon he established a career managing caravans on behalf of merchants. Through his travel first with his uncle and later in his career, Muhammad came into contact with people of many nationalities and faiths, including Jews, Christians and pagans.
At age 25, Muhammad was employed by Khadija, a wealthy Meccan widow 15 years his senior. The two were married, and by all accounts enjoyed a loving and happy marriage. Early records report that "God comforted him through her, for she made his burden light." Although polygamy was common practice at the time, Muhammad took no other wife than Khadija until her death 24 years later.
Divine Revelation
In his late 30s Muhammad took to regularly visiting a cave in Mount Hira, on the outskirts of Mecca, to seek solitude and contemplation. In 610, at the age of 40, Muhammad returned from one such visit telling his wife he had either gone mad or become a prophet, for he had been visited by an angel. The initially startled Khadija became his first convert.
Muhammad reported that while in a trance-like state, the Angel Gabriel appeared to him and said "Proclaim!" But like Moses, Muhammed was a reluctant prophet. He replied, "I am not a proclaimer." The angel persisted, and the Prophet repeatedly resisted, until the angel finally overwhelmed Muhammad and commanded him:
Proclaim in the name of your Lord who created!
Created man from a clot of blood.
Proclaim: Your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who teaches by the pen;
Teaches man what he knew not. (Qur'an 96:1-3)
After receiving Khadija's support, and additional angelic visits, Muhammad became confident he had indeed been chosen as the messenger of God and began to proclaim as he had been commanded.
Muhammad's message to his countrymen was to convert from pagan polytheism, immorality and materialism, repent from evil and worship Allah, the only true God. He was always careful to clarify his role in God's work - he was only a prophet. He was not an angel, he did not know the mind of God, he did not work miracles. He simply preached what he had received.
In the first three years of his ministry, Muhammad gained only 40 followers. And as his teachings threatened the Meccan way of life, both moral and economic, he and his followers experienced heavy persecution. It first took the form of mockery, but soon turned into open violence. Members of the small movement were stoned, covered in dirt as they prayed, beat with sticks, thrown into prison and refused service by merchants.
Hijira
Persecution continued to increase until Muhammad received some welcome news: he had gained followers in the city of Yathrib, 280 miles north of Mecca. The city was in need of a strong leader, and a delegation from Yathrib proposed that Muhammad take the job. In return, they pledged to worship Allah only, obey Muhammad and defend him and his followers to the death. Allah revealed to Muhammed his approval of this arrangement, and Muhammad made plans to escape to Yathrib.
The leaders in Mecca heard of the planned escape, and attempted to prevent it. But Muhammad and his close friend Abu Bakr managed to make a narrow escape north out of the city, evading a Meccan search party and arriving safely in Yathrib. This event is celebrated by Muslims as the Hijira. The year in which it occurred, 622, is the date at which the Muslim calendar begins. Yathrib was renamed Medinat al-Nabi, "the City of the Prophet," and is now known simply as Medina, "the City."
In Medina, Muhammad proved himself an able politician and statesman as well as a prophet.
Exercising superb statecraft, he welded the five heterogenous and conflicting tribes of the city, three of which were Jewish, into an orderly confederation.... His reputation spread and people began to flock from every part of Arabia to see the man who had wrought this 'miracle.' (Smith, 230).
Battle for Mecca
After establishing himself in Medina and accomplishing the job he had been invited to do, the people of Medina began several years of battle with Muhammad's former home city. In 624, the Muslims won their first battle against the Meccans. As the latter had a much larger army, the former took the victory as a sign that God was on their side. However, a subsequent battle was not victorious, and Muhammad himself was wounded. But in 627, the Meccans attacked Medina, and Medina came out on top. The Prophet was not to lose again.
In 630, Muhammad and his forces marched to Mecca and defeated it. The Prophet rededicated the Ka'ba temple to Allah, witnessed the conversion to Islam of nearly the entire Meccan population, then returned to Medina. Muhammad died in 632, having conquered nearly all of Arabia for Islam.
Spread of Islam
By 634, Islam had taken over the entire Arabian peninsula. Within 100 years of Muhammad's death, it had reached the Atlantic in one direction and borders of China in the other. This success was due in large part to the military and political abilities of Muhammad's successors, the caliphs.
