Silva Mind Control Method or Down In the Hole Be Your Guide
I first read of The Silva Method in Johanna Michaelsen's "The Beautiful Side of Evil". During that same period, I found the book, "The Silva Mind control Method" in my aunt Virginia's library.
Because of my lack of discipline, I was never able to create my mental room, though I did access the deeper levels of meditation, which helped me in a martial arts class I was taking at the time. I would visualize my spars before the fact, and would do really well in them.
Years later I was reading of the Gulf Breeze UFOs and Ed Walters. Ed Walters had unknowingly practiced the Silva Mind Control Method since childhood. He called it the Black Cloud, or some such. Indeed, many meditations, psychology techniques, Shamanistic practices, et cetera mirror the Silva Method.
I'll give a very brief introduction. You completely relax and count down (I dislike a downward spiral, so I count up). You only concentrate on the numbers going down. When you reach zero, you start building a mental habitat in which to dwell. Through practice you may summon this mental landscape, or state, instantaneously while waking. The book takes you through acquiring guides to teach you, who are summoned up from an elevator.
In "The Beautiful Side of Evil", Johanna picked Jesus and Mary. She got them, though their images would flash to that of bloody werewolves. Many people were shocked by who they actually got as guides, as opposed to those they had asked to come up the mental elevators. Johanna would get stuck in her meditative state and have to look at the bloody werewolves for hours in terror before she could count herself towards consciousness. Hers is an interesting story, that started not in her childhood, but her ancestors.
If you believe these types of practices are ridiculous, I can only assume that you think the entire field of psychology is full of New Age nutters—which it is. I have a slight affinity for the Left Handed polarization of knowledge seekers. They are no more fools than anyone else, just a different type of fool.
John Chang once stated that the real adventure takes place deep within meditative realm, where the teachers reside. He's right, and it is a dangerous place for the fool to wander.
This book, like many books, is filled with some interesting information, and a lot of bunk. Ed Walters, in his book, had no idea what the hell he was doing—even with the appearance of the malevolent black dog. I think you may begin to understand me. If not, dig into some Germanic mythology.
The Old is the New. The Future is filled with Magic and Science. In our world of paradox and polarization, One cannot exist without the other. Eventually, they will be married.
Here I have talked a lot about 2 books other than this book which were only loosely tied to this book, yet had much to do with the Silva Method. Today, to take this book's place, there is "The Secret". I shall save that for another time.
