Where do I begin? I guess first I will say I have never had any "formal" Silva training. Not as in completing an actual class per se. I would however like to share how this is a re-opening of a Silva Journey.
As a youth around 14 or so and the mid 70's, my family was was living in the projects of Topeka, KS. Surviving just about the poverty level, my mother was what I would refer to as a seeker in today's terms spiritually. My stepfather was an alcoholic abusive person. All that to say, at 14 there was nothing in my mind to be very happy about, not the mention the abuse that happened earlier in my life. Yet there was inner peace and joy that exuded from me. I was always the "weird kid." There was one person who always saw me differently. That was my best friend's uncle, who was a Doctor of Psychology at the then Menninger Foundation in Topeka. I was so fascinated with his talks on self-awareness, and mind over body control and spiritual connection. He gave me a copy of the Silva Book, but it was too out there for my parents to let me have it. Which happened a lot in my youth due to Religious beliefs on their part. Uncle Charles would also do some ESP Testing with us and found that I had some very odd (to me) responses, which led to him taking me to the foundation to do some Bio-feedback testing at his office. I remember the biggest thing was my ability to move from beta to theta almost instantly, in a matter of seconds. He also did test on me moving blood flow to my extremities.
Needless to say, everything came to a screeching halt by the time I had to move from my household, to go live with my father because I had tried to hurt my stepfather for abusing my mother. The week before I was to take the bus back to Indiana, I was in theta, and asked for a sign that it was right for me to move, and I asked for it to snow if it was right, fully expecting it to not snow in mid September. I dreamt that night that I was loading my footlocker into the car leaving footprints. The next day a unexpected snow was on the ground! In my mind I manifested that snow!
Fast forward to now, I have been connected to Mindvalley for years now, getting but never deleting follow-up emails, I guess knowing something would show-up. Then, Monday, 10-26 I answered the call! Your, Vishen's, invitation to this masterclass hit a spot. I immediately signed -up, that evening, I watched 3 of the 4 warm-up videos, and then it happened... It was like a door was unlocked, and for once I had no one to shut it against my will. The universe uploaded itself to me all night long! Gave me clarity and insight into the choices I have made in the past and glimpses of my abundant future. I am here for details and discipline. What I do today as a vocation, is a phenomenal yet uncelebrated healing process that I have been developing for over 40+ years. Uncelebrated because of old tapes and programming that has told be it's too weird, or I'm not good enough. Hopefully, by the end of this Quest, it will all change. It already has.
