YouTube is pushing an ad for the Silva UltraMind-Control method with Vishen Lakhiani.

Silva was specifically condemned by the Vatican (link at bottom).

Silva hides at least 2 satanic activities:

1. Hypnosis, which opens a door to demonic influence, according to Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich

2. Casting spells by inviting demons (“counselors” or “psychic guides”) into the mind to help with problems.

Vishen even showed how the Silva Method enabled Richard Bach, to receive the satanic inspiration to write the last part of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

This great article details other serious issues of Silva, beside being a scam:

There's nothing wrong in helping yourself or others become a better person, but the rule of thumb is that all self-help guides must be presumed satanic and anti-Christian, unless proven otherwise:

1. We can’t save ourselves: only Jesus saves.
2. Self-help implies forgetting or not believing in God’s loving and perfect Providence.
3. We need to pray constantly for God’s guidance and supernatural help, especially through the intercession of Saints and Angels.
4. According to mystic Marino Restrepo, we don’t need a higher self-esteem but God-esteem.

There is no higher esteem that knowing we are loved as “sons of God”. No worldly praise, prize, honor or love can match that love, where God, the Father, loves God the Son, through the Holy Spirit, the same as He loves us, because through Mary’s supernatural birthing (baptism, Confession of mortal sins), we became part of the mystical Body of Christ.

Satan is pushing “self-help” in sales and executive courses, and especially in network-marketing businesses, where they teach that you just have to visualize success and it will magically happen because the mind bends the universe in its favor. Your mind is the only barrier between you and endless wealth.

The new recruits get brainwashed by these sects and this has even lead to divorces, because the person is pushed into “investing” in more stock than will be sold, to keep the diamond status and discounts, and into flying to expensive sales “retreats”, because winners need to do that, not loosers.

It’s unbelievable how many families have been destroyed by this combination of greed and pride. Usually, they target middle class women and housewives. No government has done anything against this satanic scam!

The meaning of life is to know, love and serve God. The Big Fat Question is: why are Christians looking for answers to life in the “new new thing” instead of their own religion?

It’s like a blind going to an ice-cream shop and asking for a book. No matter how many shops he’d visit, he’s never going to find it because he’s searching in the wrong places.

Those confused Christians don’t really know their own religion, no matter what they read, no matter how many hours in Church, retreats and Catechesis. We’ve got a pandemic of functional illiteracy: the essence of our religion is not abstract knowledge but a personal friendship with Jesus, especially, in the Eucharist.

So instead of looking for truth elsewhere, better seek Jesus, because He is THE Truth, source of all truths. No other truths are outside Him.

Instead of looking for illumination in the darkness, better seek “the light of the world”, Jesus. There’s no eternal light outside Him.

Instead of searching a hidden knowledge (Gnosis) or a secret advantage no one knows, better find the Logos, Jesus, source of all eternal knowledge, because in the end of the world, our science will disappear.

1 Cor 13

1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated,

5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.

9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially,

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.

13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
