Tomato Experiment provides visual evidence of the healing power you have in your hands

 (These experiments with tomatoes were narrated and sent to us by Daphne Beall, a mathematics instructor for eight years at Yuba College in Marysville, California. In addition to being an academic instructor, for the last two years of those eight, she taught the Silva mind training system in Marysville. Many thanks to Ms. Beall for permission to present her observations to our graduates.)

 

 By way of preface in relating these experiments and their results, let me state that they were occasioned by a remark made by Jose Silva in a lecture that he presented in Laguna Hills, California in August 1974.

 

 Elaborating on the point that human energies can be focused and used for the purpose of healing, he suggested that we might observe the effects of humanly energized tap water and non-energized tap water on a tomato. He indicated that going to the alpha brain wave level and energizing for twenty minutes the water placed in one container would affect the condition of a tomato in relation to a tomato placed in the same amount of non-energized water.

 

 I decided to perform the experiment for myself and note the results.

The first time that I conducted the experiment I filled a glass with water, entered the alpha level, and placed my hands around the container, not touching it, visualizing energy leaving my hands in the form of a white light entering the water.

 

 I imagined the glass becoming white and bright from the energy from my hands, knowing that the water was being energized. I moved my hands around, playing with the energy, so to speak, feeling the energy fill the glass of water.

 

 Although Mr. Silva had recommended twenty minutes of energizing, I found it tedious to do nothing except visualize energy, so I only visualized for ten minutes. Then I came out of level, placed a tomato in the energized water, and left it in there overnight, then put it on a plate.

 

 I also placed another tomato in an ordinary non-energized glass of water, left it in overnight, and then placed it on a plate also. This was in September of 1974.

 

 The results

Within about three days, the tomato that had been in the ordinary (non energized) water began to leak, and continued to do so more each succeeding day. Eventually, with its fluid running out, it shriveled to become smaller and smaller.
