No drugs or biofeedback machines are used. It is in fact an altered state of consciousness used in virtually every meditative discipline and in intensive prayer. The lecturer explains that this is a state of deep relaxation, deeper than in sleep itself but accompanied by a special kind of awareness. After the break there is another hour-and-twenty- minute session beginning with some questions and answers, then down to business with the first training exercise, which will lead to a meditative level of mind. Physicians, secretaries, teachers, taxi d rivers, hous ewives, h igh-school and college students, psychiatrists, religious leaders, retired people-this is a typical mix. They are from widely varying backgrounds. Over coffee the students become acquainted. Then, briefly, he describes ways the students will be able to apply what they learn in improving health, solving everyday problems, learning more easily, and deepening spiritual awareness. The lecturer defines Mind Control and outlines the two decades of research that led to its development. To start off, there is an introductory lecture of about an hour and twenty minutes. First let’s look in on the beginning of a Mind Control class and see what takes place. Shortly José Silva will explain some of these methods so that you will be able to start using them yourself. And as they become more accustomed to using the methods that produce this feeling they settle down into a calm, self-confident use of new powers and energies, their lives richer, healthier, freer of problems. So far, more than a half-million people know they have been through it. This is what it feels like after four days of Silva Mind Control training. How would it feel? It would be a peak experience not too different- perhaps not different at all- from spiritual awe. Imagine too that you made this contact in such simple ways that for the rest of your life you need never again feel helplessly out of touch with something you always suspected was there but could never quite reach-a helpful wisdom, a flash of insight when you need it, the feeling of a loving powerful presence. Imagine coming into direct, working contact with an all-pervading higher intelligence and learning in a moment of numinous joy that it is on your side.
