Q: What is the Silva UltraMind ESP System:
A: Imagine if you had a guide who actually knew what lies ahead for you, and who could guide you to success, happiness, and fulfillment.
Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System shows you how to unlock the incredible powers of your own mind and use them to connect to a higher power and obtain the guidance you need to fulfill your purpose in life.
Now in the UltraMind ESP System, which Jose Silva developed just before his death, Silva teaches how to move from alpha thinking to connecting and communicating with a higher power-high intelligence.
Q: How does UltraMind compare with the original course?
A: The original Silva Mind Control Method was a compromise.
By 1953, Jose Silva realized that he could help people develop and learn to use their own natural God-given intuition, and he realized how valuable that could be, in helping them to make better decisions, correct problems, and avoid problems in the future.
Back then, almost nobody else even believed that ESP was real, and even if it was, they didn't see any value in it.
So in order to persuade people to give it a try, he had to compromise:
He created a course that is loaded with problem-solving techniques.
- He promised people that they could learn to use their mind to:
- overcome insomnia
- wake up without clocks
- Relieve tension and migraine headaches without the use of drugs
- Remember dreams and use them to get information and solve problems
- Improve memory and concentration
- Relieve pain and speed healing from injuries and illness
- Get rid of bad habits like smoking and over-eating
- And more
It worked. Many people came for those benefits. After they had learned to use the mind to deal with all of those problems, then he told them about the ESP training, and most of the people would go ahead and sign up for it.
It was a brilliant strategy, but the emphasis was not where he wanted it. All of the problem-solving techniques were great, but the greatest benefits came from the ESP training.
He presented the course that way for 30 years - start off with the problem-solving techniques and then cover the ESP development.
During that 30 years, he continued to wonder about one more thing. He expressed it this way to a group of fellow scientists back in 1973:
"We are interested: Is there a higher intelligence somewhere? Of course we are.
"We think we are tapping into it at some level, somehow, because we ourselves cannot explain - even ourselves within the movement cannot explain the success that we have had, except through help from higher levels.
"And that is putting it lightly.
"Now our interest would be: Can we establish a better communication with higher levels of intelligence, wherever they are?
"Can we, or should we, communicate subjectively, instead of the way we have been trying before?"
In 1997 the answer came to him, just after he completed presenting a new course he was developing, the Silva UltraMind ESP System, when someone mentioned that the UltraMind Systems seemed to be more spiritual than the original course with all of its formula-type techniques for correcting problems.
"That's it," he exclaimed. "It is a spiritual course, we don't need the formulas anymore."
Now, at last, he could teach the course he had always wanted to teach, without any compromises, and he could also include the new technique that had come to him, the MentalVideo, a scientifically based method to communicate with higher intelligence regularly and reliably to obtain guidance and help so that we can carry out our mission in life successfully.
Q: Which is better, Jose Silva's original courses, or the modernized versions?
A: We sell his original work, not a modernized version of it. He is the one who conducted the research, and it was his genius that produced Silva Mind Control. As for all the rest of us, everything we know came from Jose Silva, none of us has conducted any scientific research, our expertise is in the application of his work, explaining it to you so you can benefit from it as much as we have and even more.
Back to the Questions
Q: Can you explain the different Silva companies? Why do you have more than one company producing and promoting Silva products?
A: Well, for one thing Mr. Silva had 10 children, and it is hard to please everybody.
Actually, Jose Silva created a new course in the winter of 1997-1998, and set up a new companay to manage it, because he did not want it confused with the old course.
Mr. Silva realized as long ago as 1953 just how valuable psychic ability could be if people knew how to develop and use it. But most people didn't even believe that ESP existed, and didn't see how it could be of any value even if it did.
In 1966 he began offering the Silva Systems to the public. In that course, he first taught us how to use our mind to correct problems, and to help us accomplish our goals. Then after we began to realize how much we could accomplish with our mind, he taught us to use our mind in another way - to function as psychics.
Gradually, as the Silva Systems spread throughout the United States and to more than 100 other countries around the world, more and more people began to accept the reality of ESP, and to understand how valuable it could be.
By 1997 he felt that people were ready for an ESP course.
Then an idea came to him for a technique to do something he had long wanted to do: A way to use our psychic ability to communicate regularly and reliably with higher intelligence to find out what to do and how to do it.
He felt that he was being guided by higher intelligence, and that the time was right for an ESP course - one that would also show us how to use our ESP to obtain guidance and help from higher intelligence to help us succeed at our mission in life.
This was a very different idea from the way that most instructors had been promoting the course.
For 30 years most instructors had been attracting people to the Silva Mind Control Method by promising to teach them how to use more of their mind to help them get what they wanted.
Mr. Silva always believed that we were sent here for a purpose, and that purpose is to correct problems, relieve suffering, and improve conditions on the planet.
We were not sent here for a vacation, he told us. We were not sent here to accumulate things and have fun.
We were sent here to work, to correct problerms, to represent higher intelligence in the physical world. You can hear him talk about what he considered to be the correct sense of values, in a video that we have online: To view it click here.
We always tried to teach these principles. You can see that theme throughout the Choose Success course, as well as in our books from Sales Power to Think and Grow Fit to the newest books about Intuitive Guidance for Business and Persuasive Thoughts. But we needed a fresh approach with the emphasis on correcting problems, relieving suffering, and improving conditions on the planet, and less emphasis on getting what we want for ourselves.
His favorite formula was: Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven (the alpha level), function wihtin God's righteousness (do what you were sent here to do) and (as a result) all else will be added unto you.
He did not shut down the old course, because it still has value. Some people are lagging behind and still don't appreciate how valuable psychic ability can be. And there is still a need for the formula-type techniques, the problem-solving techniques in the Choose Success course, which he helps us put together in 1996.
As you would expect, some people wanted to continue to present the formula-type techniques to those who will benefit from them.
Some of us chose to move on with Jose Silva, to help him promote the UltraMind ESP Systems and to help people understand that success in our life mission isn't based on how much we can accumulate, but on what we can do to correct problems so that when we move on, we shall have left behind a better world for those who follow.
This is a new idea to a lot of people. In the past we were taught that we must set our goals and persist if we want to succeed, and not let anything stop us.
The idea of submitting to the will of higher inteligence and improving conditions for peole who cannot ever repay us sounds strange to some. It can be very powerful.
Take a look at what our Director in Solvenia has accomplished by using the MentalVideo to obtain guidance from higher intelligence.
Klemen was a little skeptical at first, but he followed up the guidance he got with a lot of hard work and as a result rapes of women in the community have ended and people are living a better life: For information click here.
Jose Silva literally changed the consciousness of humanity with Silva Mind Control, yet he always said that Silva Mind Control was only moving us towards the beginning of the second phase of human evolution on the planet.
I couldn't even imagine what else there could be that would be more valuable than learning how to use our mind to correct problems and achieve the things we desired.
Then with the Silva UltraMind ESP System, he said that we were actually at the beginning of the second phase of human evolution on the planet. Now we can all obtain guidance and help from higher intelligence to correct problems and convert the planet into a paradise.
So the answer to your question is that Jose Silva is the one who created a new course and established a new company so that each course could stand on its own and do what it does best.
Thanks again, and please feel free to call on us any time we can be of service.

Q: Does this require that the person believe in God?
A: You don't have to "believe" in anything when you have repeatable objective evidence, time and time again. What that happens, you know.
To paraphrase Einstein, when you sit on a hot stove, you "know" it burns. You don't have to believe. When you kiss a pretty girl (or boy) you "know" it feels pleasant. You don't have to believe anything.
