Gary Cotterill says 1 year, 6 months ago

I first heard of the Silva Method in the late 60’s when I was in the USAF in north Texas. I bought the books, and was impressed with the story of Jose, his fam­ily, inter­ests, research and suc­cess and knew this was some­thing I needed to know more about.

I have always been inter­ested in “human devel­op­ment” and have always had a strong desire to use all my hid­den tal­ents on a daily basis. Only Jose Silva’s meth­ods gave me a prac­ti­cal tech­nique for learn­ing how.

It was years later, after I had moved to Seat­tle when I finally took a sem­i­nar and met Jose Silva. To this day I remem­ber his warm energy and enthu­si­asm for all of us. I feel he cared for us all as he did his chil­dren… with that patient car­ing as he watched us real­ize our hid­den tal­ents and begin to use them to make our dreams come true.

Please know I feel Jose Silva has been a bless­ing to us all and I am so happy to have met him and learned from this wise man.

Sin­cerely and with gratitude,

Gary Cot­ter­ill

I’m a long time fan of Jose Silva and his work so I found this very enjoyable.

Thanks

I took the Silva method back in the early 70s. Later in the 1989 I went to Laredo Texas and took the Instruc­tor Course. I lec­tured in S.C. in Charleston.

To this day in 2008, I still have con­fer­ences and “cot­tage” groups” active. Jose Silva, did leave this “world a bet­ter place to live in.” And it is my sin­cere wish that his mem­ory live on in the hearts of mil­lions, who the Silva Method reaches out to our world wide universes.

Thanks you, we all live bet­ter and bet­ter, Sin­cerely, Adri­enne Sar­mast Rogers. for­mer instructor.Instructor, Reike Mas­ter, Clin­i­cal Ther­apy, and Energy Healer for over 20 years.

Anne Robertson says 1 year, 6 months ago

I recall read­ing about the Silva method when I was a young girl in the late 60s & I did the course sev­eral times in the 80s. It was and is a remark­able course, as Jose him­self was a remark­able man. Often when i read or study other courses that came later it is blind­ingly obvi­ous that Silva was the orig­i­nal (often unac­knowl­edged) basis of most later sys­tems. He was a rare and spe­cial man, and the world is richer for his pres­ence and poorer for his pass­ing. His mes­sage to the world was extror­di­nar­ily gen­er­ous and unselfish. Carry on the good work Laura. He was a father any­one would be proud to have

That was a treat and I realise how much I’m yet to find out!
Thankyou!

Oh wow! Tears can be for joy too! For the 20years since I took my first Basic series, I pro­grammed to ‘teach’ Silva! Well the some­thing bet­ter has been teach­ing and ‘mak­ing a dif­fer­ence from Silva’! As I have pre­vi­ously writ­ten on the old blogs, the influ­ences that the Silva Method(s) had on my life and all my other sub­se­quent deal­ings is enor­mous. The Method taught me noth­ing.. more impor­tantly it reminded me of what I already had. It gave me the gift of tools to use it.
As I would put Jose on my screen again (he really must have had a pres­ence here in the south­ern hemi­sphere recently!) the answer was ‘to hon­our my pur­pose’.. from his influ­ence. Thanks Jose
Burt, I have writ­ten to you before and you will know that I have your CDs and books (yes even the first one) and Laura, I met when I did the ‘Ultra’ in Ade­laide. I still have my photo with Jose! And I fondly remem­ber the sto­ries you told of your father then. One of your broth­ers was there too. Very, very spe­cial hear­ing you both as my pro­gram­ming for Silva in the past few years was for ‘heal­ing’ between the Global Home and The Ultra.
So Laura when that occurred, that was it.. that 20year goal just fell away and my ‘next’ is in the pipeline with the ‘readas­sist’.
So with my men­tors in Jose, Burt, Ken Kos­cia, Fr Justin Belitz, John New­man, James Need­ham, Tom Mahas, Mary Chap­pell, Ultra Series, Nelda Sheets because in using Silva Method to teach myself to paint, is like com­ing full cir­cle.
And, yes the Silva Method is in good hands, Laura! Thanks Burt, con­grat­u­la­tions and Happy Birth­day every day in every way to Jose and The Silva World­wide Fam­ily

I first heard of Jose Silva in the early 90s. A friend of mine told me that I might want to check this out since my life was start­ing to be very chaotic. She felt this would help me see what I was doing to cre­ate my prob­lems. The tools have been a valu­able asset in my life.

As an RN, I have the abil­ity to help peo­ple in all walks of life: the phys­i­cal, men­tal, spir­i­tual and I always refer them to the Silva Method because this is a way for peo­ple to become empow­ered and take back their lifes. At some time in our life, we stand at the cross­roads and the Silva Method is a way to empower us to meet our challenges.

I feel Jose Silva and all his instruc­tors are great human­i­tar­i­ans and if we can get every­one in the world to take these courses then we can really change our world for the better.

Bright­est Bless­ings,
Rebecca Kline

I first learned about Silva Mind Con­trol through my dad. He took the class dur­ing the early sev­en­ties when I was in my mid-teens. He was very excited about it, and taught me how to go to level.

A group of grad­u­ates from his class went on to form their own group to con­tinue what they had learned through the Silva method. I went along every week with him for the next two years (as did my mother and my grandmother).

Later, when I was in my mid-twenties I found a Silva class where I was liv­ing, and finally became an offi­cial Silva grad­u­ate myself. I kept it up for quite a while, but moved a lot and always seemed to wind up in places that did not offer the classes. I’m so glad that nowa­days these are offered on CDs and via the internet.

I’ve always appre­ci­ated the sim­plic­ity of Jose’s methods–no fancy fluff, no reli­gious under­tones, just clean prac­ti­cal relaxation.

So thank you, Jose, wher­ever you are now–and thank you Laura for car­ry­ing on your father’s work.

I am a Silva Grad­u­ate since March 1991 from Bangladesh. Late Mahee Quazi, the then Coun­try Direc­tor and CSMI, intro­duced Silva Method in Bangladesh in late 1990. I under­took BLS course in March 1991 under Mahee Quazi when he con­ducted the first BLS course offi­cially in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I repeated BLS course at least 20-times. In March 1995 I under­took “The Silva 2-Day Ultra Sem­i­nar” con­ducted by Jose Silva, the great inven­tor and founder of Silva Method, in Dhaka. Jose Silva was assisted by Tony Silva (Jose’s son) and Mahee Quazi in the Sem­i­nar. Dur­ing the sem­i­nar I met Jose Silva sev­eral times and got some tips from him on Silva Method. I repeated “The Silva 2-Day Ultra Sem­i­nar” in 1996 con­ducted by Alec Silva, nephew of Jose, in Dhaka. I am prac­tis­ing Silva Method for the last 17-years. I have con­ducted at least 50 case­works suc­cess­fully. I am a pro­fes­sional “Petro­leum & Min­ing Con­sul­tant”. After retire­ment from Govt. ser­vice in Feb­ru­ary 2005, I joined a pri­vate com­pany and presently lead­ing an active pro­fes­sional life at the age of 61-years. I have been immensely ben­e­fit­ted in my pro­fes­sional life, social life, and finan­cial life using Silva Tech­niques. By heal­ing oth­ers I am serv­ing the human­ity. Silva tech­niques has now become my every­day life. I have lis­tened to the inter­view of Laura Silva and Burt Gold­man on the occas­sion of Jose’s birth­day. I have enjoyed the inter­view and under­stand the mem­o­ries of Laura and Burt­man on Jose Silva. Jose Silva is a great man. The meth­ods and tech­niques which he devel­oped for a bet­ter world is sim­ply unique and out­stand­ing. We, about 23,000 Silva Grad­u­ates (so far pro­duced) from Bangladesh, are enjoy­ing fruits of it. Jose Silva should have been awarded “Nobel Prize” for devel­op­ing Silva Mind Con­trol Method. Because this is a unique method for a bet­ter world. I have got sev­eral pho­tographs with Jose Silva which I have hanged in my liv­ing room. Lately I have under­taken home study course on “Silva Ultra Mind Syatem” and “Silva Life Sys­tem” con­ducted by Laura Silva. Laura Silva is a great daugh­ter of a great man. She is doing to keep her father’s bril­liant legacy alive. Under the dynamic lead­er­ship of Laura Silva, the Silva Method will be fur­ther devel­oped and it will be spreaded all over the world to make it a bet­ter world. Laura Silva is vis­it­ing Bangladesh from 23–25 Octo­ber 2008 to con­duct “Ultra Sem­i­nar” in Dhaka. I am going to attend that. I thank Jose Silva, Laura Silva and Silva Method to help me to lead a sccess­ful life. Thanks to all con­nected with this link.

Is Tom Mahas still involved with Silva? He made a won­der­ous relax tape. Mine gave up some time ago and I am lost with­out it.
If you know his con­tact details I would like to email him.

Allan Power.
