A glimpse into the mind of a naturally developed clairvoyant

 

 Here is a rare opportunity for a glimpse into the mind of a naturally developed clairvoyant, Jose Silva, who created a method so everyone could function in this manner. This gives us a very valuable clue as to how we, as Silva graduates, can function better in our day-to-day lives.

 

 The following is an exact, unedited transcript of a conversation with Jose Silva, conducted during a conference in Mr. Silva's office in Laredo. Silva Newsletter editor Ed Bernd Jr. had been waiting for an opportunity when Mr. Silva was obviously functioning creatively and clairvoyantly, and was "tuning in" to get answers and information.

 

 The physical signs included a sort of "far away" look, eyes turned upward and towards the left, and eyelids fluttering from time to time. The tone of voice was soft and thoughtful, the words flowing out smoothly and making a lot of sense. When all of these signs were noticed, the interviewer asked:

 

 Q: Stop and think for just a moment if you would: Exactly what kind of mental process were you going through when you were giving me that answer?

Silva: Whenever I need to find the answer, I am accustomed to getting a feeling, to remember a feeling I get to enhance my ability to get information. I am familiar with this feeling because of practice and experience.

 

 For instance, when I was working with Harry McKnight to develop a glossary of terms in the Graduate Seminar manual, I would get into a state of concentration and an idea would come, in many and different ways, many descriptions for one word, many kinds of meanings for the same situations. When I would come out, it would not always make the same kind of sense that it made within. So I always try to go with it as I sense it, and if it continues to make sense at the outer levels, then I'd go with it. (Note: Throughout this interview, he continued to show the same physiological signs of "tuning in" as the signs that prompted the question.)

 

 Q: You said a "feeling." Is it like a physical feeling?

Silva: It is like an emotional feeling more than anything else. Kind of a mental thing. You can not explain it. It is not physical. It is a feeling you get through experience, of having come up with information successfully before, and you have detected that feeling when that took place.

 

 I notice on this book that I'm writing now, that I get stuck sometimes and don't know where to go from that place. Then I concentrate and immediately the doors are opened and I start off writing again, with more information.

 

 Q: What do you mean, "concentrate"? Exactly what mental process?

Silva: Just quiet down your mind and go back to thinking the way you have thought before when you were successful.

 

 Q: Do you review a success?

Silva: No, not necessarily. You could do that too. Go back to the level where you learned to go. But the thing is, eventually you don't have to review a success, you just provoke that feeling, or desire that feeling, and you are back to the level where you should come up with the information. Just by knowing that you want the information, automatically you will become attuned, because of your desire, to the same level.

 

 Q: How does the information come? Do you hear it?

Silva: No, it just occurs to you.
