Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION As you read the pages that follow, keep in mind that this book was written exclusively for you—the reader. Though we may not have formally met as of yet, we have something in common—a desire for a magnificent life, one that flows with inner peace combined with a sense of true freedom on this journey of life. With our own personal quest for enlightenment, joy, love, and prosperity, we’re continuously reminded that these attributes are not merely something we find. Rather, they’re something we indeed are, and we can learn to tune into them. The benevolence we are alluding to lies deep within our souls, and so many of us have yet to tap into this inner fortress. This is not something we necessarily attain by making a single choice via positive thinking, though we certainly advocate it as a jump-start toward the betterment of the self and the world we share. Rather, this is an ongoing journey to be reinforced day after day, moment by moment. Perhaps the invisible force that connects all things is what brought us together—to learn and grow. At the conclusion of your reading, we’d like to know how this book has impacted you. If enough feedback is received, we will write a follow-up book with your words to expand these ideas to better ourselves and to positively impact our world. Please understand that the intent is to help you—the reader—learn from us, and we can certainly learn from each other and share our thoughts and experiences. When our minds and hearts are receptive to new ideas, the Universe conspires to bring whatever it is we want and need for inner peace and freedom. There really are no accidents, and a greater force connects all the so-called coincidences—all of them. At this time, we are asking you to consider this: Anything and everything that has ever happened to you was supposed to. All the good, bad, and indifference was necessary on this path of life. You may be resistant to this at first. We’re not asking you to pretend that anything hurtful should be overlooked and swept under the rug. We all have a personal history of trauma, guilt, shame, remorse, and the like. For now, just consider as you are reading these words that whatever it is we have encountered up until now, at the very least, cannot unhappen. With that realization in mind, we can, at least, suspend our skepticism and accept that everything up until now had a reason for happening. When we step aside and analyze our lives from the perspective of today, we can look back with a quiet acceptance for everything—even if only briefly. There is a reason for all that has happened and all that will happen. Like most, we get stuck in the it-is-not-fair and why-me traps. We all have lists of things we’d rather have done differently, as well as the so-called should-haves lists. Keep this in the forefront of your mind as you read on and see if you feel a shift in your thinking. You will come to know the truths as they emerge. This book is divided into Pathways. Each Pathway has offerings for your benefit with the intention of bringing about your personal best and inner freedom. Whether you have been on this path for many years, are a Silva Method graduate, trainer, enthusiast, or an individual who has decided to take control from the inside out, we trust that our sharing will resonate within you a sense of inner harmony that will impact you and our world. At the end of each Pathway, you’ll find affirmations—positive statements usually pertaining to the present moment. The ideas are set in place to personally assist you with the contents and goals of each Pathway. Thank you for allowing us to provide you with what we know will be a vast experience of joy, growth, and love. Please email us at Balboa Press and let us know your thoughts on our book. Wishing you a joyous Pathway to your inner peace and freedom, Diana Silva Robert Deutchman

About the Book
Pathways to Personal Freedom using the Silva Method is a compilation of fifty ideas to help uncover the ways of inner bliss that lay dormant within each of us. Happiness and Personal Freedom are concepts that most of us have taken for granted. Society teaches us to please others; look for approval and acceptance from others; check in with those who “know better” than we do; allow our negative thoughts to overtake our actions, our way of life and even health. Each Pathway starts with a quote to encourage thinking and inspiration to bring about a spark of insight that is already known but may have been forgotten along the way. What follows are suggestions and examples from the authors’ lives and experiences as to how to achieve bliss and inner harmony. Each will end with an affirmation to be recited in the present time to instill the ideas as if they are already in place and to help enhance this new way of thinking. Some of these ideas may be new and even foreign—but they have stood the test of time and used by many throughout the world. Jose Silva, Sr. was a pioneer in the study and application of mind control. His youngest daughter, Diana Silva-Mendez and coauthor, Robert Deutchman have put together this labor of love for the benefit of Silva Method enthusiasts, trainers, Silva graduates, and to all who seek to tap into their inner wisdom.
