There are chapters about weight control, motivation and procrastination and solving family problems. We learn to rid ourselves of unwanted past programming, and then to reprogramme.īefore anything you want to happen can occur, you must desire that it happen, you must believe that it can happen and you must expect it to happen. We are introduced to the Golden Image technique, which can be used, for instance, to get rid of a bad habit. These are immutable laws of nature and cannot be changed or destroyed. José then teaches us the seven mighty principles. 5) You accept a thing by changing your viewpoint of it. 4) If you don’t like a thing, cannot avoid it, and cannot or will not change it, accept it.

3) If you don’t like a thing and you cannot avoid it, change it. We learn the five rules of happiness: 1) If you like a thing, enjoy it. We should use the affirmation “Every day in every way I’m getting better, better and better.” These people have missed the loving aspect of José’s teachings, and it is thus no surprise that it is difficult for them to use the method successfully. I’ve noticed that many of those leaving extremely negative reviews of Silva books on Amazon, for instance, express their dissatisfaction in very derogatory and unpleasant terms.

To use love as a force in our life we need to change our attitude or viewpoint toward the troublesome situation or event. The second chapter is entitled “Switching your viewpoint to love”. This healing state of mind is called Alpha. We are told that this is the “state of being in which the mind tends to separate from the body, and the bodily intelligence with no interference from mind, adjusts and heals itself”. In the first chapter we learn the basic method of meditation - slowing our brain waves to around ten cycles per second of brain-wave activity. Whereas in the other Silva books we learn José’s various techniques, I found this one to be more philosophical and discursive, and less practical.

I didn’t enjoy or appreciate this book as much as the other Silva books I’ve recently reviewed, nor do I understand what precisely the term ”mental dynamics” means in this context.
