Use Your Imagination to Control Outside Influences

It has been theorized that most people use less than 10% of their mental capacity. José Silva proved that you could tap into the other 90% and learn to think like a genius. And this untapped 90% could change your life in ways you couldn't imagine. What will your untapped 90% change in your life?

If a mind is a terrible thing to waste ... then discover how to put more of yours to use! , In the 50 years since José Silva first developed his mind-control techniques, millions of people worldwide have been trained in The Silva Method to consciously lower their brain-wave patterns to the alpha level (registering between 7 and 14 Hz). At the alpha level, the brain remembers more, thinks more clearly, and is more capable of finding creative solutions. You'll be amazed at how much more power your brain really has. Read on and hear stories of how The Silva Method developed powers of healing, clairvoyance, self-development, and self-control for those who have practiced it. You'll also understand why you've never heard of José Silva. The man who made one of the great discoveries of the 20th century is only now gaining acceptance of his ideas. Why? It's just too incredible to believe. Hundreds of scientific experiments have corroborated his ideas ... millions of people have experienced the reality of his ideas ... and yet you won't believe it until it happens to you! The Silva Method audio program teaches you the skill of mind control at the alpha level—a process that is simple, sequential, and as natural as resting in an easy chair. Once you have learned it, and gained full control of this mental ability, you'll find that the new power you control will be ... mind-boggling. After listening to just the first three sessions, you'll already have learned how to enter the alpha level. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to do. Laura Silva, a veteran Silva trainer and José's daughter, will be your guide, leading you step-by-step through all of the programming sessions. Now read the rest of the email, and, at the end, I'll tell you how you can get your own copy of The Silva Method audio mind-training program. YES! I want to break through the 10% barrier. Please send me The Silva Method for 30 days - FOR JUST $1.00! If it doesn't work for me, I will simply send it back. No questions asked, and no money owed — ever. If I decide I want to keep it, I will pay the discounted price of $39.95, which is 50% off the regular price, at the end of my 30-day trial. THE POWER OF THE IMAGINATION REVEALED Here is a small example of the power of the human mind: First, suspend your natural disbelief, just for a minute, while you try this "imagination" exercise. It's easy and everyone can do it. First, relax and take a deep breath; now use your imagination and try to picture this: You have a bright yellow, ripe lemon in the palm of your hand. Rub the skin of the fruit with your hands. Feel the texture. Smell it. Now, put it on a cutting board, pick up a sharp knife and slice slowly through the lemon. Juice squirts and runs out of the lemon onto your hand. Put a drop of juice on your finger and touch it to your tongue. Is it terribly sour? Now, answer this: Did your mouth water? For most people, just a simple little exercise like this will cause their mouth to water. Doctors will tell you that mouth-watering is an involuntary reflex of the autonomic nervous system. Or, to put that in layman's terms, you can't physically control it. However, you can use your imagination to think of lemons ... and that will do the trick. Does it make you wonder ... what else can the imagination control? It is vastly more powerful than you think! We've all had the experience of preparing for something important — maybe a big speech, maybe calling a potential employer, client, or even a first date — when simply "imagining" what would happen caused our hearts to race and our palms to sweat. The autonomic nervous system controls your pulse and your glands. But your imagination can also take control ... you can choose what you will think about. And what you think about can change your physical body. Imagination can cause you to age faster ... or age more slowly ... it can cause an ulcer ... or heal an ulcer. Medical case histories are filled with stories of people who were literally scared to death. But can the imagination control influences from outside the body? (The answer is yes!) We have known for a long time how powerful the imagination can be, but until now, few have dared to study it. Imagination has belonged to storytellers and artists. Scientists have mostly steered clear. Today, however, scientists in many health disciplines are looking into "relaxation and visualization" techniques. HOW A FATHER'S LOVE LED TO THIS BRAINPOWER BREAKTHROUGH Forty years ago, when José Silva began his groundbreaking research in this field, scientists would have laughed at the very idea of studying the imagination. Because José Silva had no formal educational training, he simply didn't know any better. A self-taught electronics expert, Silva was a pioneer in developing antenna systems in the early days of television. His vision and entrepreneurial spirit turned a small radio repair shop into a larger, thriving electronics business. His entry into the field of mind development started at first as an offshoot of his natural curiosity. While his days were filled with electronics, his nights were devoted to books on the subjects of psychology, hypnosis, and parapsychology. Then one day, a "lucky" misfortune occurred in the Silva household: His children brought home "F's" on their report cards from school. In those days it was thought that I.Q. was something you were born with. Like eye color, you couldn't change it. José worried, as any parent would, that bad grades and other failures might become his children's lot in life. He decided to turn his full attention to helping them do better. The question "Could it be possible to raise one's I.Q.?" started José on his historic quest into mind research. He knew from his work with electronics that the ideal circuit was one with least resistance. If brain cells acted somehow like circuits, he reasoned, would it be possible to lower their resistance and thus make them more receptive to storing and receiving information? Would the brain function more effectively if he could slow down the brain waves? Using hypnosis techniques to quiet his children's minds, José Silva discovered that at lower brain-wave frequencies the brain did indeed receive and store more information. Under hypnosis, his children could remember fantastic amounts of information, such as dates, names, numbers, and other facts. However, while hypnosis helped his children remember more, it did not contribute to better understanding. That problem is what led him to develop his famous mental training exercises. He created specific exercises that his children could use to quiet their minds and lower their brain rhythms. They could do this without losing consciousness (as in sleep) and without losing conscious control (as in hypnosis). His first sign of proof that this new system was working, much to his delight, was in his children's sharply improved grades. We know today that José Silva's initial mind-development experiments were a landmark in the study of human consciousness. He was the first person to prove that people can learn to function with awareness at the alpha and theta brain-wave frequencies. The medical and psychological establishments have since confirmed this finding with numerous experiments, of which biofeedback technology has been one of the most useful outcomes. Other parents in Silva's neighborhood took notice of the Silva children's great improvements at school and asked José if he could teach their children. He accepted, and over the next 10 years of working with children, José developed what would become the basics of Silva Method training. ALPHA LEVELS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ESP A strange thing happened one evening at the Silva house. It was a normal week night and José was working with his daughter Isabel on her schoolwork. She had relaxed and used her training to go into her alpha brain-wave level so that her father could begin quizzing her on her lessons. Suddenly, and quietly, the routine was momentously changed. As José formed a question in his mind, Isabel answered it. It was a question he had not yet spoken! Then she answered another, and another. She was reading his mind! Could his daughter's brain, while in a relaxed state, somehow gain the power to act as a receiver of his thoughts? Did the brain have the equivalent of electronic components that were able to act as transmitters and receptors? It was the beginning of a period of experimentation and learning with alpha levels of consciousness that continues even to this day. One of the most interesting of these studies came several years ago at the Stanford Research Institute in California. The research was called "The Distant Viewing Project." Two groups of volunteers who had experienced Silva Method training were chosen—one group in New York and the other in California. The West Coast group was given pads of paper and pencils, and without prior information, they were asked to make a sketch of what the New York volunteer was seeing at given moments. Meanwhile, the New York volunteers took Polaroid pictures and marked each one with a time and a date. The drawings were later compared with the photos by an unbiased third group and judged either as a "hit" or a "miss." It seems rather unbelievable, but the Stanford Research Institute reported an astonishing 80 percent success ratio! How were the volunteers in California communicating with the test subjects in New York? Were they communicating on a spiritual level? Or were they receiving what some researchers have called "psychotronic energy"? The alpha level is not only a state of mind that improves learning ... it is a state of "heightened awareness," where anything is possible! USING THE IMAGINATION TO CONTROL OUTSIDE INFLUENCES Can your imagination control influences from outside the body? Many researchers at major medical centers believe it can. Many Silva alumni can tell you of their own successes. A Silva Method Seminar graduate (Mike D., Chesterton, IN) used his training to control his allergies. He had suffered the effects of hayfever throughout his childhood and into his thirties. Anyone with an allergy knows that pollen and other allergens can be powerful outside influences! After his Silva Method training, it seemed quite reasonable to him that if other people without hayfever could ignore the irritation of pollen, then so could he! He simply decided that he was tired of the swollen, itchy eyes, the asthma, and worst of all, the uncontrollable runny nose and sinus congestion. Using his training, he was able to imagine the symptoms away. And now late summer is his favorite time of the year! Unbelievable! But you already know that you can make your saliva glands flow, heart race, and sweat glands open. You know that great actors can make their tear ducts cry on command. The glands that cause a runny nose are just as easy to control, if you know how. Instruction in the basic Silva Method Course spans 2 to 4 days; the audio version includes 6 hours of listening and at least twice that much time in recommended practice. The Silva Method alpha-level training is a skill like any other — the more you practice, the better you get! In the audio program, you'll find plans for a 40-day self-training course that will help you form powerful healing abilities, as well as creative, intuitive, and clairvoyant skills. Understand that relaxation and visualization techniques are on the cutting edge of medical research today. Researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center have used imagination techniques, similar to The Silva Method, to help children with asthma. And they've had outstanding success. They've shown that children can use these techniques to reverse the swelling of bronchial passages that can choke off their air supply, regardless of whether the asthma attack was brought on by stress or an outside influence — an allergen like pollen, dust, or pet hair. Relaxation and visualization in conjunction with the care of a licensed physician has been tried successfully with heart disease, cancer, and a myriad of other diseases. Although some 40 years behind José Silva, medical science is discovering that healing can't take place without self-healing. Attaining the alpha level is the most powerful way to promote self-healing. YES! I want to break through the 10% barrier. Please send me The Silva Method for 30 days - FOR JUST $1.00!

IMAGINATION: A RIGHT-BRAIN ACTIVITY Using more of your brain is really what The Silva Method audio self-study course is all about. Our brains function as two halves, a Right Brain and a Left Brain — two brains with two very different functions and points of view. One of the most exciting things you'll find in your alpha level is the ability to listen to your Right Brain. In normal waking consciousness, the Left Brain rules. It is logic, it is ego, it is the little voice inside your head that nags you and tells you that you can't possibly do this. The Left Brain helps you remember to balance your checkbook, brush your teeth, and take out the garbage. It's the timekeeper. It is also your primary mode of functioning on a daily basis at work. The Right Brain, on the other hand, thinks globally. It is creative, intuitive, and instinctive. It is ruled by feelings and sensations. It understands everything all at once, in inexplicable leaps of faith. If you ask great musicians to look at their fingers while they are playing, the music will invariably stop. At its best, music flows freely from the Right Brain. Great musicians learn how to put their Left Brains on hold while they play freely from their emotional Right Brains. As you learn through The Silva Method how to go to your alpha level and work on a problem in your imagination, you will begin to discover the power of the Right Brain. Stress drifts away; time disappears; worry, negativity, and doubts are abandoned. You enter a waking dream where everything is possible and you are in complete control. You feel intuitively what is right and wrong, and solutions to problems simply come to you. This is precisely the way the world's most famous geniuses have described their own inspirations. Newton described how the theory of gravity came to him while resting under a tree. Max Planck, who invented the quantum theory of physics, said the theory just popped into his head while resting in a hot bath. Einstein liked to work on problems as he awoke from his afternoon naps. Perhaps this ability to think clearly while experiencing a deep state of relaxation is what has separated geniuses from the rest us. But now, thanks to the work of José Silva, anyone can learn to do this! If you had been Right-Brain educated, in addition to learning history and math, you would have done less passive learning and more experiential learning. You would have had classes like "Basic Creative Imagination" and "Enhancing Intuition, Instinct, and Inspiration." Both students and teachers would have talked less and done more. You'd have studied telepathy, psychometry, and all sorts of other Right-Brain sensing experiences. Unfortunately, that is a whole realm of human potential that is left unstudied and unlearned. The Silva Method is the training you need to begin restoring your lost, but not forgotten, God-given powers of imagination. REPROGRAMMING YOUR MIND TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE Psychologists say that the harder you try to break a habit, the more certain it is that you will fail! This seems paradoxical, and yet most of us have had this experience. What you think about generally becomes your reality. If you are constantly thinking about your bad habit, it will never leave your mind; it will never go away. For the most part, people are very good at negative self-programming. Do you do this? When you get home from work, you plop down in an easy chair, take a deep breath, settle into a comfortable state of mind, and then start thinking about everything that went wrong during the day. If you go over in your mind everything that has gone wrong and everything that can go wrong, then what are you creating? You are reinforcing your troubles, deepening your problems, and prolonging your difficulties. Parents, teachers, clergy, doctors, and bosses are very good at correcting what we do wrong. Few ever show us what is right. We internalize this type of teaching and use it on ourselves. You can learn to break lifelong habits, almost effortlessly! Now that you understand this, you're going to stop thinking about your problems and start thinking about solutions, right? If only it were that easy for you. The bad news is that you are programmed to think the way you already do. The good news is that the alpha level is where basic programming can be developed for your mind. No other system is more powerful for helping you: lose weight quit smoking stop procrastinating change eating habits stop abusing alcohol or other drugs break negative emotional patterns and create new patterns for success Because no other system gives you the tools to control your mental programming and your own destiny like The Silva Method. The Silva Method is simply a skill that allows you to take control of your own mind ... and the human mind is the most powerful force on earth. In taking conscious control, you have the key that opens up every other possibility in your life! When you start your Silva training, you can decide what areas interest you most. Whether you want to: improve your I.Q. and memory, develop your creativity and intuition, work on healing and self-healing techniques, program yourself to break habits, or practice success skills, you'll discover that The Silva Method is a tool for total mind development! You'll also find that The Silva Method is incredibly relaxing and refreshing. Every Silva session is like the perfect cat nap! You come out of the alpha level feeling more energetic and more focused for whatever the rest of your day brings you. For most Silva graduates, the stress-relieving benefits of The Silva Method alone are worth the effort of learning it and practicing it on a daily basis. And because the mind is such a powerful tool to develop, you'll have your own amazing experiences in your alpha level. Anyone who has taken this course can tell you stories that simply defy explanation. Once you learn to tap the power of your mind, you'll discover hidden talents that are, frankly, difficult to explain. Sincerely, YES! I want to break through the 10% barrier.

Living Your Life Without Limits

What do MOST millionaires, top pro athletes, and high-income sales professionals do to achieve their goals so much faster than others — with far less effort and struggle? What are the simple, quick and astonishing secrets that have enabled more than 30 million people to achieve their dreams — and that you can use to start living the life you've always known was possible? The answers will change your life.

Dear Annmarie Cunniff , I hope you never have to suffer the humiliation, embarrassment, or feelings of desperation I suffered through in 1990-1991. Even though my story has an incredibly happy ending, I wouldn't wish the path I took to get there on anybody ... even my worst enemy. One night, awake from stress, after my wife and kids went to sleep, I added up my credit card debt and got lightheaded and sick when I saw the figure. I was just shy of $100,000 in the hole. And that was just the credit card debt! Wow. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I didn't tell my wife Peggy about my lost job and massive debt until the hole I had dug buried us all. My heart and spirit were broken. I felt stupid and guilty at the same time. I knew I had let her and the kids down so badly. I was scared to face her. She deserved better than this. Better than me. I was petrified I would lose her. I remember it as if it were this morning. I started to cry. Sob actually. I was so scared, so upset ... that I was bawling and shuddering in heaving spasms. I pounded my fist and cried out to no one in particular. "Why can't anything go right for me? Why does everything I try go so wrong? When did I become such a worthless loser? How am I going to get my wife and kids out of this basement into a house?" Then, it struck me like a tire iron to the face. I sat up, wiped my eyes, looking dumbstruck, saying to myself, "Holy cow. How could I have forgotten that? It worked for me before. I KNOW it'll work again!" My Turning Point Can Become Your Turning Point In only six months from that day I was humiliated, desperate, and hurting, our entire life changed dramatically — for the better! Just six months later, we bought a $385,000 house with half down, paid off the 100 grand in credit card debt ... and I was a millionaire in less than a year. I bought a vacation house, put away enough to cover the kids' college educations, easily stopped my bad habits, and attained complete personal and financial freedom! All accomplished automatically ... without effort, without willpower or positive thinking! What was the obscure secret I remembered in that moment of clarity that allowed me to take complete control of my life? (And that led to an even more amazing circumstance/coincidence that I'll tell you about in a couple of minutes.) Let me explain. YES! I want to learn what 30 million people have — THE SECRET of personal success and freedom that anyone can quickly and easily attain without struggling! Please send me the DVD and 6-CD program The New Psycho-Cybernetics TODAY! I will SAVE 50% OFF the regular price of $99.95. If I'm not more successful, wealthier, and happier with myself and my life within a year, I may return the program for a 100% refund — no questions asked. An old volume revealed the secrets to success in any and all undertakings we attempt in life! The book that quickly and dramatically changed my life — financially, physically and mentally — was given to me by my Psychology 101 professor in college. I remember attacking the book with a vengeance — almost as if it were my destiny, not just a reading assignment. Page after page, chapter after chapter ... I was reading the true answers to the mysteries of life that up to that point had eluded me. I remember several times when I put the account facedown on the bed to keep my place, looking up and shaking my head in a combination of disbelief and surprise. I mean, there I was in a college dorm room, a highly anxious and nervous worrywart (I actually had an ulcer from being so stressed out), overweight, girlfriend-less, wearing taped-up earth shoes ... a true nerd in every sense of the word ... now having the answers to life that my parents and other adults obviously never "got." I kept thinking, "Why isn't everyone forced to read this amazing work?" (Imagine my surprise when I later found out that more than 30 million people had learned these techniques and have been achieving their goals and changing their lives with Dr. Maltz's simple, quick, and astonishing secrets!) Achieving what you want is easy ... when you stop pushing and activate your automatic success mechanism! Here's the story. In the late forties and fifties, a cosmetic surgeon named Dr. Maxwell Maltz made the breakthrough discovery for success, happiness, and personal freedom in the process of doing his work fixing people's scars and "ugly" parts of their outward appearance. During his years of practice, Dr. Maltz observed that plastic surgery produced sudden dramatic changes in many patients within weeks of an operation. Their growing self-esteem and self-confidence mirrored their new physical appearance. Unfortunately, in other cases, treating the "outer scars" failed to cure the "inner scars." Many patients continued to feel as negatively about themselves as they did before. This led Dr. Maltz to conclude that many people see themselves inaccurately; their perceptions are distorted by unchallenged and often erroneous beliefs embedded in their subconscious mind. After a decade of counseling hundreds of patients, conducting extensive research on everything from German guided-missile technology to hypnosis, and testing his own evolving theories, in 1959, Dr. Maltz made one of the most significant discoveries of the 20th century ... The human mind functions much like a goal-seeking device similar to those used to guide missiles on auto-pilot! This "automatic goal-seeking device" is the part of the mind associated with genius. It has the power to draw you to whatever you need to accomplish — no matter how challenged you are. You can program it for either success or failure, depending on your self-image. When you learn to expand your self-image with Dr. Maltz's discovery, you will also be expanding your talents and capabilities so you can automatically reach your goals as your subconscious mind steers you to them like a guided missile goes to its target! Using a variety of Dr. Maltz's techniques — including "Theater of the Mind," mental rehearsal, language loops, psychological triggers, and cue words – you'll learn how to train and condition your mind to lock onto any goals — and effortlessly be directed to them! What Dr. Maltz discovered about your subconscious self-image's power to lead you to either success or failure was nothing short of the most important discovery about human behavior in the 20th century! You'll be able to erase any negative influences in your life just as easily as if you were erasing a video! You'll be able to replace the harmful emotional wounds with positive influences that jet-propel your growth. You'll be liberated to let go of all that baggage from the way you were brought up that holds you back. You'll experience the exhilaration of releasing all the emotional demons and scars that haunt you, and be able to direct the way your life goes. You will finally be able to show your new subconscious mind how to swap the old negative ways you see yourself ... with a new, brilliant, vibrant self-image of a self who succeeds at anything and everything you want to attain! Plus, because of the "guided missile" nature of our minds that Dr. Maltz uncovered ... your new self-image is all you have to substitute. You don't have to engage in any conscious effort that requires impossible things like willpower or positive thinking! See, Dr. Maltz's discovery centered around the fact that we all hold a "SELF-IMAGE" buried deep in our subconscious mind and that this self-image controls EVERYTHING. Dr. Maltz was the first person to understand that our internal self-image controls: What we do, and what we don't do Where we go Where we live Who we end up getting in relationships with and how those relationships go What we do for a living How much money we make How far we move up the business ladder Whether we own a business or work for others How much we weigh – and what kind of physical shape we're in How often we have sexual relationships and the quality of them How well we do at sports Whether we play musical instruments How well we perform at school The state of our health How we dress — what our personal appearance looks like Or, in other words ... our deeply buried self-image allows us to do, or not do ... EVERYTHING IN LIFE! Now, imagine me, this nerdy, overweight kind of loser with an ulcer reading about this internal "self-image" thing! Here was Dr. Maltz explaining not only why I was who I was at that time, but more important ... Dr. Maltz showed me incredibly simple techniques we can do instantly to replace the incorrect and limiting self-image we now have with a bright, energetic, success-oriented self-image that will allow us to effortlessly accomplish anything we want automatically ... without effort, willpower, or positive thinking needed! This is what literally blew me away after discovering Dr. Maltz's secrets. He uncovered that we cannot ever separate what we are, and what we become, from what our self-image tells us we are, and what we'll become. For example, he said if your internal self-image tells you that: You are an overweight "type" of person, then you will always be overweight You are the "kind" of person who makes $30,000 (or $60,000, or $120,000, or $240,000, or whatever), then that's what you'll always make You are the "sort" of person who can't help having affairs, then you'll always have affairs You are just the "type" of person who is always late, then you will always be late You are the "kind" of person who cannot hit a golf ball straight, then you will always hit hooks and slices You simply cannot stick to a workout and healthy eating regimen, then you will always be unhealthy And so on See, what Dr. Maltz found was that you will NEVER be different from what your self-image says you are and that if you change your self-image to "think" of yourself as the person you want to be ... you will AUTOMATICALLY become that new person! If Dr. Maltz was right, the GREAT news to me was that having to fight myself to make changes, having to summon nonexistent "willpower" to accomplish altering my actions, behaviors, and feelings, and having to feel that achieving changes is impossible because I am just that "type" of person ... weren't necessary! Just the hope that I could be different, that I could be who I wanted myself to be without "trying" so hard (and then being disappointed and feeling like a constant failure anyway) ... made my spirits soar like an eagle! Dr. Maltz figured out that our past experiences and thoughts have planted the unsuccessful self-image in our subconscious ... and that once we substitute a new, healthy, success-filled self-image in place of the previous one ... ALL THE THINGS WE WANT IN LIFE WILL COME TO US AS IF DIRECTED BY AN AUTOMATIC GUIDANCE SYSTEM! WE GET WHAT WE WANT WITHOUT FIGHTING WITH OURSELVES, WITHOUT STRUGGLE, WITHOUT FAILURE! Therefore, Dr. Maltz's techniques are the method by which you can change the self-image to make things you want to have, or have happen to you in the future, become a reality RIGHT NOW, because your mind guides you to the new you all by itself using the new self-image as the "pilot" to your new destination! I have to admit I was very skeptical that his simple techniques of changing my self-image could automatically erase 18 years of incorrect and negative programming from my parents, relatives, lousy teachers, misguided "friends," etc ... so quickly and easily. I decided there was only one way to find out: try what he suggested and see what happens! Anyway, after reading the volume twice, I began to do the handful of easy-to-do, simple-to-put-into-practice techniques ... and I instantly got results! And I mean real, tangible, meaningful, life-changing results! Within only a few months, here's what I was able to accomplish on "auto-pilot" simply by using the techniques in Dr. Maltz's bag of self-image-repairing tricks (which take only a few minutes and are so ridiculously simple anyone can do them instantly!): I lost 31 pounds and dropped from a size 35 Levi's to a size 30! I got rid of my duodenal ulcer without any medication! I became so relaxed with schoolwork that my grades climbed up to all B's and A's! I started living my own life, and got out from under the dark shadow placed over me by my upbringing! I began to talk to people, start conversations, and be perfectly relaxed at parties ... actually enjoying them, instead of dreading them! I got up the nerve to ask Peggy to dance at a dorm party, even though she was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid my eyes on and was being asked to dance by what seemed like everyone at the party. Not too shabby a list, huh? And some of these things began INSTANTLY after using Dr. Maltz's techniques, with the rest occurring in only a few short months, with no stress, no fighting myself, and no "work." It all happened EXACTLY the way Dr. Maltz said it would. I did bring my future dreams into the present just by using his methods to change my self-image ... and everything followed automatically, as if directed by a "smart bomb" system! Once I used Dr. Maltz's methods again, I knew I'd be out of trouble and OK in no time! I already proved that his secrets allow future dreams and goals to be brought into the present on auto-pilot ... so all I had to do was reapply what I had done so successfully at age 18 ... but had somehow lost. I immediately began to use the secrets, EXACTLY as I had so many years before ... and within three months, everything had begun to turn around. BIG TIME. Inside of six months from that painful day in the driveway, we had purchased a $385,000 house with half as the down payment! I had paid off the $100,000 in credit card debt, had a thriving multimillion-dollar business operating out of my home ... and reached millionaire status! Peggy and I always wanted a vacation home on a lake up north, and we got it. Paid cash. Now please make sure you understand that all this happened as a DIRECT RESULT of applying the techniques I gleaned from Dr. Maltz. I did not get any "angel" to loan me money and bail me out. I had no family members help me. I had no infusion of cash to help in any way. This is NOT a story that began with some miracle of money that fell into my lap. No way. I made a fledgling business I was struggling to start into a huge winner, going from zero to $100,000 a month in just 90 days. The specifics of my business do not matter. It wasn't some wild fluke, like a dot-com. What my business was isn't important, because I assure you, it does NOT matter whether your most urgent need is to escape a dead-end job and be your own boss, or to turn around a troubled business, or to get a promotion or raise, or lose weight, or rekindle lost passion for your life, or just cut strokes off your golf game and replace those slices with magnificent, long, straight shots – the very same Dr. Maltz's Mental Training Techniques that I used will work for you too ... in whatever situation you are in.

What it IS, is me simply using the most powerful, yet easiest, secrets to an instant life-changing turnaround! In just a minute, I'll describe the BRAND-NEW, UPDATED version of Dr. Maltz's system that my partner — and marketing genius — Dan Kennedy has created for you with the great folks at Nightingale-Conant. But, first I have to finish my story with a most remarkable coincidence that occurred regarding Dr. Maltz that led me to be writing you this letter. Here's the amazing twist of fate. One day in 1995, my friend, partner, and the world's leading marketing mastermind, Dan Kennedy, called me up and said the most unusual thing to me. "Jeff, I have a chance to buy the entire library of Dr. Maltz's work, including the ownership of everything he ever produced! His widow passed away recently and left all of the rights to a university, and the college called me to ask me if I knew what to do with all Dr. Maltz's material. Since you and I have talked so often about how his secrets turned both our lives around, I thought we might like to own it all and continue to distribute Dr. Maltz's genius to the world. Whatdy'a think? Interested?" Well, not only was I interested ... but I was beside myself with excitement! I mean, here was my chance to actually be the owner of the very thing that saved my life ... twice ... and to make sure Dr. Maltz's work continued to be distributed. Think about what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this was! Quick note: Dan Kennedy, arguably the world's leading (and most expensive to hire) marketing guru and consultant, a self-made millionaire, is one of Dr. Maltz's premier success stories. Listen to what Dan says about Dr. Maltz: "For over 20 years, I've been giving seminars designed to help people and companies all over the world increase their profits and gain a competitive edge. As a featured speaker for Peter Lowe's 'Success' forums, I've shared the stage with such celebrities and world leaders as George Bush, Larry King, Mary Lou Retton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Cosby, Joe Montana, General Colin Powell, Margaret Thatcher, and Norman Schwarzkopf, to name a few. "What has occurred for me along these lines has been mentally engineered with the secrets I learned from Dr. Maltz. Beginning with zero resources, I have been self-employed for all but the first year of my working life, became a millionaire in my early 40s, currently enjoy a very high income with diversified investments, and could live comfortably purely from my investments if I chose to do so. Given my background, you'd probably think that public speaking comes naturally to me. But nothing could be further from the truth. When I was in my early teens, I had a severe stuttering problem. It was so bad, in fact, that I had trouble getting two sentences out. The very thought of having to stand in front of a class and speak was paralyzing. Needless to say, I tried every technique in the book – speech therapy, relaxation, and deep-breathing techniques, you name it. "Nothing worked until I discovered how to re-engineer my self-image with 'Psycho-Cybernetics' (the name that Dr. Maltz gave to his success system)!" See, Dan too, like so many millions of people Dr. Maltz affected with his miraculous techniques, went from the most unlikely success candidate to a role model of success ... simply by using what Dr. Maltz taught Dan through Psycho-Cybernetics! Now, it was beyond my wildest dreams that I could actually be directly involved in maintaining the legacy of Dr. Maltz's work. Yet, here I was, in the position to do so. So, as you can easily guess, Dan and I bought the rights to everything Dr. Maltz had ever published. And now, that extraordinary bit of good fortune Dan and I experienced ... is YOUR stroke of good fortune! Here's why. A little while ago, Dan went into the Nightingale-Conant studios in Chicago, and for the first time in more than 40 years, created a BRAND-NEW, updated, 21st-century Psycho-Cybernetics program, The New Psycho-Cybernetics, that is now available to you ... IF you act quickly! Here's how Dan created this incredible updated/upgraded version of Psycho-Cybernetics called The New Psycho-Cybernetics: A Mind Technology for Living Your Life Without Limits. Dan spent months digging through and analyzing all of Dr. Maltz's materials. (When we bought it, the stuff showed up in a big truck. We had no idea Dr. Maltz was so prolific, nor did we know the depth of his published works ... and that he had even more unpublished works!) Anyway, Dan went through all the books, papers, memos, reports, notes, videos, audios, etc. and found the best of the best of Dr. Maltz! We were amazed at how much eye-popping information and research Dr. Maltz had planned to add to his early work, yet for whatever reason, never got around to putting into print. But that was then, before Dan assembled the original materials with the previously unreleased materials to combine into a truly power-packed, fun, and easy listening program for Nightingale-Conant and YOU! Now, Dan's new, updated program is not only more complete, full of more of Dr. Maltz's secrets and techniques than the original Dr. Maltz materials contain ... but it makes it way easier and faster to learn and benefit from! The way Dan put this program together combines the wisdom of Dr. Maltz with the updated technology available in our modern era!

Countless professional athletes, entertainers, politicians, clergy, and high-end business people credit the techniques contained in The New Psycho-Cybernetics with their sustained success and peak achievement. (I challenge you to find more than a handful of pro golfers, figure skaters, basketball, football or baseball players, actors, dancers, politicians – anyone who's ever achieved more than the average person – who don't use the self-image enhancement and mental imagery techniques that Dr. Maltz first revealed in 1960!) By word of mouth alone, Psycho-Cybernetics has become the most widely influential mind technology of all time. Leading self-development trainers like Brian Tracy and Anthony Robbins have frequently referred to it. In all, more than 30 million people have applied the principles of Psycho-Cybernetics. The reason is simple: It works. While some really sour and jaded people would say that I'm a mercenary writing a self-serving letter ... I assure you it's not the money that motivates me to write you. It's the fact that Nightingale-Conant and The Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation (the foundation that Dan and I formed to handle the Psycho-Cybernetics legacy) feel that this life-changing program used by millions of people must continue to be circulated because of all the good that comes from using the secrets Dr. Maltz shared with us! So what about you? Do you think that YOU could benefit from replacing your current self-image with one that will automatically guide you toward your true providence?

True Stories of Lives Changed Using Psycho-Cybernetics 3 "I'm losing my wrinkles without surgery! Most people take me to be around 70 years old instead of my real age of 92!" "I am a 92-year-old minister of the Gospel. The Bible SHOUTS on the value of the Self-Image. I have been able to change many things about myself by working on my self-image. A few years ago, I thought about getting a face-lift, but it is coming to me through Psycho-Cybernetics instead. I'm losing my wrinkles without surgery! Most people take me to be around 70 years old instead of my real age of 92!" - Rev. Charles DeVore, Deland, Florida Only Seconds Left to Live ... "Hello Mr. Kennedy, "My name is Daniel Poulin and I'm from Province of Quebec, Canada. I write novels full-time since April 2003. "Excuse the quality of my English because I'm French. "In 1995, on April 20, a Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., I was a man in early thirties, full of health and life to live ahead of me. Fifteen minutes later, I was near death, severely intoxicated by an aspirin. "Lying on a hospital bed, with only few seconds to live, the desperate young and inexperienced doctor, in the emergency room, whispered me that weird thing: 'Young man, you can live or die in a few moments. I can help you for both, which one do you choose?' "I barely said: 'Live!' "After three days, I went back home. I was astounded about every little thing I would have missed if I had died; the sound of birds, the wind in my hair, the smell of fresh air, eating a good pizza ... "From that day, I decided that I will live to the fullest and realize every of my dream. I was sure that death could sweep me again from the surface of the earth anytime. So, no time to waste. "And guess what? "Days passed by, months passed by. None of my new life resolutions get on the way. I lived a normal life for over seven more years, wishing that tomorrow will bring me ... what I was wishing for. Oh yeah! I had great dreams, but ... "One day, a Sunday, I took a car ride and stopped at a garage sale. I was looking for black old typewriting machine. I love to collect them and write with them. What I was looking for was an old Underwood No. 5. On my left, there was a box full of English and French books for sale; 25 cents each book. One caught my attention: Pyscho-Cybernetique. The title awakened an old dream when I was young: to become a cybernetician. Robots and machines were something fascinating for me. I bought the book and started reading it in my car. I found that mental science very sophisticated. What the hell is that book! I came back home and read it in one shot. The sun was rising during the next morning of that summer night of July 2002. I said to myself: 'Now you have the instructions on how your brain works. Do something of your life.' I can say that I started my new life by wisely investing 25 cents. "I phone my boss and told him I was sick. Then, I read the book another time during the day. "The rest is history. "I divorced from an unsatisfactory relationship, found the most beautiful girl on earth, and bought a house with her. I took a full leave from my job and started writing a novel. I will soon complete my third in three months! "I also lost 20 pounds and reshaped my body. I practice crazy sport like tree climbing, river running, and knife fighting. Everything turned out good for me. People say, I'm crazy, that I should beware of such drastic changes in a short time. "I didn't listen to them. Last December, I started English lessons and now manage in a conversation. "When someone ask for my secret, I told them: 'act as if' and 'train in your mind.' Then the person says, 'That's it? No pills, no psychotherapy!' "Today, I share my secret by giving a Psycho-Cybernetics book as gift to people I care about or to people who are tired to force their way through success. "I'm disappointed to hear about people that they haven't had time to read the book I offered them! "Anyway, I don't think I will win your $500 contest for the most dramatic weight loss. "But what I've gained with Psycho-Cybernetics will last forever. "I have three other books to write. Number seven will be about success and Psycho-Cybernetics. "Thanks for all! "Daniel Poulin, writer and life lover. "P.S. Next week, I will have my copy of The New Psycho-Cybernetics. I hope it will teach me another trick!" The Case of the Least-Likely-to-Succeed Stockbroker Cella Quinn was born with a gift, an advantage: far-above-average intelligence. She is a Mensa member, an association of people with IQs in the top 2% of the entire population. But this "gift" was of little use to her for quite some time, thanks to other birth disadvantages. She was born with a severe cleft lip and palate, a birth defect that is a split in the roof of the mouth and the upper lip, and that produces "mangled" speech. It is often accompanied by a deformed nose. Cella described hers as looking like "a quonset hut with one corner of the roof collapsed." The crude, minimal surgery of the time did not help her speech. Her speech was so unintelligible to many that she carried a pad and pencil with her to communicate with. Her jaw, teeth, and face often ached. Cella had a very difficult time in school; other children picked on her, and even teachers presumed her stupid. "When you can't speak," Cella said, "people think you are stupid. My family, teachers, other children thought so, and even I started to believe it." YES!

She was 16 when she left home, catching a bus to the nearest big city, with $44 in her pocket. She had no plan, no idea where she was going; she only knew she had to escape where she was. She got a dishwasher job at a drugstore lunch counter. She was able to rent a basement room from a woman who worked as a prostitute. This woman encouraged Cella to improve herself, to continue her education, and to push to do something with her life. In conversations, Cella learned that the woman owned real estate and even invested in stocks, something that both surprised her and motivated her. A dentist, who stopped for coffee each morning at the Walgreen's lunch counter, got a note passed to him one morning from Cella. It read: "My teeth hurt so much. I can only pay you $5 a month. Will you help me?" The dentist arranged for her to receive surgeries and subsequent dental care, at a total cost of over $3,000. Cella remembers bursting into tears over the sum. However, she worked at multiple jobs, paid those bills, paid to attend business school to become a secretary, and saved up to pay for plastic surgery for her nose. Then she worked her way through the University of Nebraska, obtaining a degree in journalism after 12 years. For the next 7 years, she worked in Lincoln, Nebraska, as a reporter. An ad for a trainee for Merrill Lynch intrigued her. She soon began a career with Merrill Lynch. Somewhat to their surprise, she did well, and after 7 years, she was recruited by Smith-Barney and made a vice president. Cella Quinn went on to achieve truly extraordinary success as a stockbroker, investment adviser, and ultimately, as president of her own investment firm. Her personal lifestyle has mirrored that of the rich and famous, complete with a mansion with a swimming pool in its living room, luxury automobiles, civic leadership, and security. How did this woman manage to persevere through so many disadvantages and hardships to achieve such success? She says her conversion was never easy. "My self-image was terrible, but due to a combination of necessity, an occasional push from someone else, and gradually discovering abilities, I moved ahead." Early in her selling career, she consulted a psychiatrist to improve her self-esteem. He told her she was not "stupid" as she believed; in fact, to the contrary, she was extremely intelligent, and he urged her to take the Mensa examination – and she passed! She discovered the original edition of Psycho-Cybernetics while still working at Walgreen's and says it was pivotal in getting her to pursue and obtain plastic surgery. She also credits the book with giving her the courage to seek therapy. Finally, she began to understand that she need not be held back by any of her childhood traumas and that she could take pride and confidence from the progress she had made. "Dr. Maltz's ideas made it possible for me to go from an 88-cent-an-hour dishwasher to owning my own investment firm," says Cella Quinn. Regardless of the impetus, the important point is that Cella Quinn tested the "truths" about herself and discovered they were not true at all! Be inspired by this example and test every believed but limiting "truth" on your self-image's inventory. You too may very well discover some of the most inhibiting are not true at all. The Case of the Professor's "F" "I was flunking out of college and contemplating suicide when I first read Psycho-Cybernetics, and it literally turned my life around." That dramatic statement comes from college professor, professional speaker, author, and successful businessman Marshall Reddick. Mr. Reddick says that, at age 20, he was struggling just to stay in college, and believed he lacked the intelligence necessary to make it to graduation, let alone to go further toward success in life. He was also painfully shy, a representation of his poor self-image and near total absence of self-confidence. After reading Psycho-Cybernetics, he began experimenting with some of its simplest, most basic prescriptions and techniques. "I began to reprogram myself," he says. "For example, I placed little notes all around me, in my pockets, on my mirror, in my car, 'reminding' me that I was a confident person and a capable person. Sure enough, after just 21 days, I started to feel and behave differently." Marshall Reddick went on to complete a successful academic career, obtaining his bachelor's degree in business and economics, a master's degree in business from Colorado State University, his Ph.D. in business from Texas Tech University, and a three-year tenure as professor of business and economics at California State University. "I had all my students read and then write a report on Psycho-Cybernetics," Reddick says, "and I still recommend the book today." Today, Mr. Reddick is a much-in-demand professional speaker and has earned the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association. His seminar company has been presenting programs on time management, negotiations, and peak performance for corporate clients worldwide since 1975. Isn't it remarkable that a failing student can metamorphose into a stellar student, earn a Ph.D., and step to the other side of the desk as professor, from such simple techniques? Self-made multimillionaire W. Clement Stone had a favorite saying: "Little hinges swing big doors." It has many profound applications, and this is one of them – that frequently little tests of "truths" imbedded in the self-image, little experiments in exercising new control over one's thoughts can swing open huge doorways to rapid and dramatic personal growth. It isn't necessarily the size of the idea but the size of the opportunity that governs the result. By experimenting with even the simplest of the ideas found in Psycho-Cybernetics, you too may make amazing self-discoveries. The Case of the Alcoholic's Daughter "I am a professional speaker. The other day, as I was getting ready to leave my office to deliver a keynote address for a large association's luncheon, my eyes went to the bookcase in my office – where one book stands out from all the others. Soft cover, tattered in places, used and worn. It takes me back to 1960. "I was working my way through Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, by being the 'girl Friday' for a prestigious law firm. The managing partner became my mentor. I know today that he saw the low self-esteem in that 19-year-old girl. In one of our meetings that year, he handed a copy of Psycho-Cybernetics to me to read. If he said it was worthwhile, then it was, and I digested its contents that very week. Maxwell Maltz offered me tools to 're-engineer' my thoughts and feelings about myself, in ways that had never occurred to me. "For the first 16 years of my life, my father was a troubleshooter for a huge manufacturing company, and they must have had a lot of troubles because we moved every year, sometimes twice in the same year, coast to coast and back again, 17 schools in 12 years. On weekends, after traveling all week, my dad came home and crawled into a bottle. My mom was rarely able to leave the house and, as the eldest of four children, I became her legs. I was the one who got the utilities connected each time we moved, got bills paid, groceries purchased. Yet, in her eyes, I never quite did anything well enough. With this as background, I was attempting to function effectively in the world of work, and struggling obviously enough that my employer handed me this book about the self-image. "The first year that I was given Psycho-Cybernetics, I read it five times. Over the next five years, I reread it several times each year. Maxwell Maltz became my encourager. He not only opened the door to a new way of living for me, but he birthed a lifelong interest in mind-body studies that directed my career and brought me a lifetime of fulfillment. Today, I speak to audiences all over the country on issues of self-esteem and communication. I know firsthand that we cannot connect with others until we connect with ourselves." Peggy Collins traveled from law firm clerk, to a top producer in real estate sales, to senior vice president of a banking institution before embarking on her current career as a professional speaker and workshop leader, with an impressive corporate client list, including Mobil Oil, Frito-Lay, Burger King, and the J.C. Penney Corporation. Her story reinforces the important fact that the past need not predict the future. It is a well-known psychological fact that children of alcoholics face significant and special problems. But depending on your definition of "dysfunctional family," nearly everyone has one! Each person must rise above childhood experiences or adverse adult experiences to take control of his or her own personality, beginning now and moving forward. The Case of the Woman Who Could Not Walk "Dear Dr. Maltz – please let me express to you my feelings of gratitude for your book Psycho-Cybernetics." So began a letter much like thousands of others received in Dr. Maltz's office over the years. However, this letter went on to describe a truly amazing story ... "What I am about to share with you is very personal and charged with emotion. When I think of how one paperback book has changed my whole life, is it any wonder I want to tell you my story, hoping it may help others. "My life began in Providence, Kentucky, on October 1, 1924, as a healthy, normal 9-pound baby girl. I was stricken with muscular dystrophy at age 10. I recall overhearing the doctor telling my parents that they might as well take me out of school as I had less than one year to live. This etched fear deep into me. Gradual changes took place in my motor abilities. I began to stumble; soon it became difficult to walk. Then I began to experience great difficulty using my hands. With loving and understanding, I began a journey that would span 20 years, trying to cope with this progressive disease, this shadow of doom, MD. "Many summers were spent in hospitals, in body casts, in therapy. Finally, specially-built shoes with steel braces attached were provided to help me walk. My whole body was showing signs of weakness. Tasks that were so simple for others were great frustrations for me. Still, in spite of numerous obstacles, I managed to complete my education, which included college. Then came 13 years teaching school. At the age of 25, I was told I must undergo an operation on both ankles or risk spending the remainder of my life in a wheelchair. After suffering these operations, almost a year of confinement in casts and a wheelchair, I had to learn to walk again. It was months before I could stand for periods of time. Several years before I was able to return to work. "Even though, for the most part, the operations were a success, mental scars remained, and they became a greater handicap to me than did my physical disabilities. I lacked self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance. I seemed to have lost a sense of direction and a purpose in living." We will interrupt only for a moment to make this important point: It does not matter how or by what series of events a person loses the purpose for living, and with it self-esteem and self-confidence. It happens to tens of thousands of people, thousands of different ways. It certainly does not require severe physical handicaps or trauma to wind up in this very same emotional state. However, the pathway out of this darkness, into the light, is the same regardless of what brought on the darkness in the first place. The letter continues ... "Well-meaning friends and my family tried to help me. Inspirational booklets, books, and a desperate search into all types of philosophy filled every waking moment. I investigated everything from Buddhism to transcendental meditation. I even delved into some of the ancient Vedas. One day while browsing in a bookstore, my eye caught sight of a book titled Psycho-Cybernetics. The title aroused my curiosity. I was told by the clerk in the store that she simply couldn't keep enough copies on hand, that it was one of the bestselling books in her store. That was all I needed to hear. I bought a copy and found that I couldn't lay it down. For the first time in my life I began to gain an insight into my own behavior. "When I finished the book, I decided that someday I would meet the author. I didn't know how this meeting could come about, but I knew I must have the opportunity to tell Dr. Maltz of my appreciation. "Over a period of years, Psycho-Cybernetics has served as an action manual for me. My attitude has changed from the negative to 'a winning feeling.' What now appears to be a miracle to others is simply my working to change my own self-image. "I have become somewhat of a medical phenomenon. Every doctor that has examined me has said that I do not have the physical muscle ability to walk. From a medical standpoint there seems to be no logical explanation for the fact that I do walk. I was recently named 'Handicapped Professional Woman of the Year' at the District-4 Pilot International Convention. This award is jointly sponsored by Pilot and the President's Committee on Employment for the Handicapped. I have just been appointed to Governor Askew's subcommittee on information and press relations on employment of the handicapped here in Florida. "Through my work in television, I have had the good fortune and pleasure of working with many well-known personalities. Among the notables was – you, Dr. Maltz. "I have come to know what it is to live a fulfilling, useful, and happy life." Jeanne Sanders Jeanne and her husband Peter became good friends of Max and Anne Maltz. About her, Dr. Maltz once wrote, "Sooner or later in life, every person must face catastrophe. Each person then chooses to rise above it, no matter how Herculean the effort required, or to succumb to it. How can Jeanne Sanders walk and drive a car without the muscle capability and strength required to do so, according to all medical experts? Because of the muscle strength of her self-image, which cannot be so readily seen or medically evaluated." It is significant that Jeanne Sanders noted that she used Psycho-Cybernetics as an "action manual." Unlike philosophical writings and unlike scores of other self-improvement books, Psycho-Cybernetics emphasizes things to do, not just things to think. This is important, because it is the constructive doing that yields results. Some of the above true-life stories and accounts of success with Dr. Maltz's techniques are reprinted from The New Psycho-Cybernetics (book) published by Prentice-Hall. YES!
