Q: What guidance do you give to people with health problems who are not Silva graduates?

They are supposed to keep on practicing the technique. They can practice it in the daytime and apply it at night.

The only reason I want them to practice it as much as they can is so they can acquire that low level of consciousness awareness sooner. Some of these people are in pretty bad shape, they have irreversible conditions, and I want something that works fast.

And I don't want to use a tape.

I don't want to use a tape because it will automate them, and it will lose its effectiveness. Their desire is neutralized to a great extent when they listen to something automated.

So I just tell them to practice it and apply it at night.

They can use the Alpha Sound tape.

Q: Why don't you want these people to use a tape recording?

I don't want them to use a tape, because I don't want them to start automating them, and just start reciting the whole thing with no meaning.

So all the time they're doing this, they are applying their concentration and exaggerating their imagination, with no other noises that can distract them.

Once they've done this 10 or 12 times, then they can use the tape, if they desire. They will have already established the points of reference.

My idea is that we don't want any interference, anything distracting them from what they are supposed to be doing.

(When I'm teaching people my healing technique) I sit there with them for about an hour and a half. And while I'm sitting there in front of them, talking to them, I am programming them, mentally, by what I'm saying. I look into their eyes, and I may distract them for a moment with a pause, and program them.

When we are done I give them a copy of the technique. I tell them not to let their wife read it to them, or anybody. I tell them to memorize it, however they can, the context of it, not word for word, but just the context of the whole thing.

Then they can come in with the tape, after that. But I don't think we should use anything else with their first efforts. Their first effort is where they are going to establish their points of reference. We'll let it be the genuine thing, their own emotional involvement in there, their own desire, and not be driven by something to acquire these lower levels.

I want them to do it. If somebody else takes them to level, if they listen to somebody else, they are not totally involved.

If they have the desire to get well - and this is why they've come to me - then let's use it.

The reason they are in front of me right now is because they need the help. Nobody can help them, nobody can tell how they hurt, how they feel.

The most important thing is that we are dealing with conscious awareness. Every relaxation level that they must acquire will be with conscious awareness.

We don't want them to neutralize, to diminish the importance of their desire. You want the help awfully bad, so bad that you are here... If I ask you why you are here, you tell me, because your brother needs you, your mother needs you, everybody needs you except you. But it is really you. So if you are willing to go through all of that, even falsify the reason that you are here, that means that you have a tremendous desire to get well.

Let's not mess it up. Let's try to transmit this desire to a lower level , gradually, of conscious awareness -a lower level of brain wave frequency, with conscious awareness. Because we know that the lower that we get, without altering this condition, your desire is going to get stronger, and stronger, and stronger.

So we transport your initial, emotional, desire that you have to the proper level where we can program it without altering it.

And I believe that we would alter that if we played a tape, used a noise, or whatever.

So once we do this, down to the level of the proper programming frequency, we've got it made. Because it is going to be a strong desire by then.

This is the reason I don't want any tapes, or any other noises. Afterwards, okay, if you want to be coached along every week or every month, you can play your tape or whatever. But not initially.

A long time ago we labeled the course "Dynamic meditation." I was the one who used that phrase, in Mexico. This is why: because it is dynamically used to keep you going, to keep you active, to find these levels. But then we don't want to alter your desire, if possible.

Q: Why in the class do we guide them to level?

We're talking about two different things. We're talking about a person where we don't have time to do that. Then we have a person where we have time.

A person that has time, we'll take him through the coursework and learn all of it.

But a person I have now who needs help immediately, we'll do this.

If they have time, we'll take them through the whole thing, that's best of course.

On home study course, guide them on the tape, but then, for them to do it all by themselves, forget about the tape that they just heard, and just do it the way we instruct them to do it. And it will work.

The only thing that's going to be lacking there is the work of the programmer - me for instance. But if they follow through, it is going to be effective.

When I hear of someone with a problem, I don't tell them I can help them. I want the person who wants to be helped to come to us on his own volition, because he needs the help. He wasn't coached, because if he does it on his own, it's going to be much more effective, than if I push it on him. That's always been my way of thinking.

Q: What tips do you have for the best way to program to get things?

You should not program for something that you want. You should program for something to resolve the problem that you have.

Don't ever specify what you want, because you may not ever get it. And it may not be correct, what you want.

Program for the problem to be resolved. That's what you're interested in.

Unpaid bills: I will convert this into a solution by imagining that these bills will be paid eventually, and that everybody will be pleasantly affected with the solution. You're not trying to get away with anything, they will be paid.

Maybe this will bring down the 30 bills that you have to perhaps 10. Seriously, that's the way I would do it.

Remember, while you are programming this, it is very important; that's why you are programming it. Because you care.

But how will it be resolved? It will be resolved. But don't program that "I want to have these bills paid by the end of the month." It will be resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Q: How would I program to find a girlfriend?

First of all, I wouldn't want you to do what I'd do.

This is supposed to come from you, from your own personal emotions.

I couldn't dream of the necessity that you have for finding a girlfriend. I wouldn't have an idea. Oh, I might have, but what I'm saying is, don't do what I do. Use your own programming, your own work.

What I can say is this:

You program to go down to those deep levels of conscious awareness, using the Long Relaxation Exercise. You'd be surprised.

Program that you want a true friend, that you can live happily ever after with as your companion. But don't start painting her with blond hair and everything else.

Q: What happens if everybody programs for the same thing? Who gets it?

It's just like you programming specifically for what you want. It's not going to work.
