Concerning the Silva Method, I haven't read the book nor participated to training sessions, an acquaintance told me about it few years ago. It looked very appealing at that time, I still let it aside as I had discovered the Cassiopaean experiment and the call to explore this whole 'universe' was stronger.
Until yesterday when I stumbled upon a youtube add from MindValley (a big self-help platform) introducing the Silva Method, which brought back curiosity about it.
Let's take the opportunity to practice SEEing and detect possible red herrings for a STO candidate, based on what I've learned so far.
So let's dissect it from what's freely available on youtube, from MV vids mainly.
(0°- By developing my perspicacity, I discovered through time that the person who first introduced me to it was actually well into New Age ideology (I'm still greatly thankful for what she brought me at the time we met, acting as an opening to greater things))
1°- Observing the fact that youtube has been censoring contents of truth (as seen during the covid period, for ex.), why would they allow something as revealing as what the Silva method purports - in a 30min intoduction add ?
2°- There's a reference to the Silva Mind Control in The Wave as being mass-distributed and Madison-Avenue-marketed in the 60'. Same question, why would they advertise such a liberating method ?
3°- The idea appears of 'visualizing your goals and seeing coincidences/synchronicities happen', "to move you towards your desired outcome".
Isn't it related to Anticipation, thus constricting the flow of free energy to manifest ? Thus raping the maiden of the right brain hemisphere once again by instructing it what to do ?
The Wave chap. 23:
Desire is anticipation. Anticipation is read by the right brain as in the future, therefore not right now, and the right brain can only create now. When we desire, we have a future object in mind. The right brain only knows now.
- Keeping also in mind that STS forces are said to be able to induce stunning synchronicities in one's life to disorient from the STO path. Primordial is, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff, as synchronicity can also be a manifestation of the 'Universe'.
Q: (L) But there have been so many strange events, so many synchronous events. Is that the good guys helping or the bad guys leading me astray?
A: Neither. It is Nature running its course.
4°- There could also be disinformation in the way it disguises itself as a method of moving on a spiritual path, therefore STO by definition, when actually being STS, the physical path, in the willingness to control to obtain something in return.
Disinformation appears as a slice of truth in a sandwich of lies.
The part of truth that I see is in the use of intuition on one hand - said while in 'Alpha'. But then, intuition relating to the right brain, I refer to the point above.
On the second hand, the use of dreams to solve questions is also proposed, which is valid in a sense even-though we ought to keep what the Cs said about this in mind : [emphasis mine]
Q: (L) What was the source of the dream where this was stated to me quite clearly?
A: Dreams are the best forum for disinformation that exists.
Q: (L) OK. I can see that. But, at the same time they are also one of the best ways to get information from the subconscious and the higher conscious, is this not true?
A: We have mentioned dualities a lot!!
4°- The point of the method is to tap into altered states of consciousness. The term "channeling" even comes out.
The question then appears as to 'what is the source of the channel ?' And isn't unawareness/unconsciousness the moments we are the most vulnerable to manipulation from any source ?
I don't see anything wrong with meditation, channeling, intuition - quite the contrary - what I see might be missing here however is the use of Reason, left brain, in balance.
I opened 6 tabs in order to watch other videos to gather elements. The above is actually only from my memories from yesterday's add and this 7min vid (and I stopped at 5' to be honest
).
I think I've had enough, Imma stop here. I have The Wave to finish and so much more to deepen (Gurdjieff, Mouravieff, Fulcanelli...)
5°- From the beginning and before Cassiopaea, I had a disturbing feeling concerning MindValley. It was the observation that if you can't afford to pay for their offer, then you can't access the domain of Self-knowledge.
For something I visualized as being one of our most fundamental rights - if not a duty - available to all inside of us, I saw a problem in this.
On the side, I find their communication very professional, modern, with a marketing of a high level, great stuff. This can also be a clue sometimes (unfortunately), when the appearance is put forward in a manner as to be so attractive.
It is seduction, exactly in the same as between human in fact...
