Man the Healer Book by José Silva and Robert B. Stone

Man the Healer

This Book “Man the Healer” is written by Robert B. Stone. The Silva Method is a self-help and meditation program developed by José Silva. It claims to increase an individual’s abilities through relaxation, development of higher brain functions, and psychic abilities such as clairvoyance. It has been classified as a self religion and a type of a new religious movement. José Silva, an electronics repairman, developed an interest in psychology to see if it could help him increase his children’s IQ. After experimenting and being convinced of his daughter’s sudden clairvoyance, Silva decided to learn more about the development of psychic abilities. In 1944 Silva began developing his method, formerly known as Silva Mind Control. He used it on his family members and friends before launching it commercially in the 1960s. Silva did research on the brain and on various brain frequencies, learning when different parts of the brain were active. Silva was the subject of a 1990 biography.
