Jose Silva

Jose Silva’s program for self-development and freedom The Silva Mind Control method is known worldwide and has been translated into many languages and is one of the most respected self-help programs on the market. It has evolved from the original 12-tape system as originally taught by Jose himself into a worldwide organization of teachers and trainers led by his daughter Isabel and Laura aided by senior trainers that were taught by Silva himself.

The programs have branched out and are used by people in all walks of life and some government agencies such as the FBI have used some of the programs as the Remote viewing program that a fictionalized account was released as a movie; starring Ben Kingsley called “Suspect Zero”.

Paul Scheele

Paul who has been associated with Learning Strategies Inc. For a number of years developed the Photoreading whole mind system which is based on the principles you will find in many of the Vedic texts on education and learning.

His seminars are upbeat and positive and the graduates of this program go on to get new jobs and have greater self confidence and the ability to learn and change as America’s job landscape goes through convulsions after the 2008 meltdown of the economy. The latest incarnation of the original program developed in 1986 when this writer was introduced to it (Again in 2004 and when he had to teach it to a group of highly motivated people that wanted to get through college faster).

Now the program can teach you to breeze through a book in under an hour and almost immediately of after an overnight incubation periods are able to utilize the material. Which makes it ideal for cramming for a test or just prior to a job interview, where you Photoread 5 books on a given topic, which gives you a holographic view of the topic based on the view points of the 5 authors.

This gives you a wider and more in-depth knowledge that if you were only to study one author and their book alone. This Synoptic method is not taught in any other reading program in use. Except for one used in conjugation as an experimental program tied in with the old SRA reading program and in this program 12 books were used on a topic. Music was synchronized with an electromechanical Tabioscope device invented by Dr. Renshaw a psychologist famous for his discoveries about the subconscious mind and perception. If you read Robert A. Heinlein’s “Citizen of the Galaxy you will read a fictionalized account of some of the abilities attributed to a Reshaw expert.

Which have been duplicated and surpassed by Photoreaders of today, some who can absorb information at speeds using computer input of up to 90,000 words a minute and able to score 86% on legal testing.

During the development of the Photoreading system Parliminal teaching techniques were developed, which feeds different information in to the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which increases your ability to absorb and retain materials that you are learning. The Parliminal concept and the use of special voice techniques became the centerpieces of many other teaching programs over the years and Learning Strategies as well.

A partial list of the various programs based on the Vedic teaching and audio principles that are known by this writer include:

  • Million Dollar Vocabulary
  • Ideal Mindset
  • The 4 powers of Greatness
  • The Einstein Factor
  • The Genius Code
  • The Memory Optimizer Program
  • New Behavior Generator

The list now is much larger that it was a few years ago and the company continues to grow and develop more programs and techniques. Many of these new programs utilize visual methods as well, which come from Yantra Yoga and combine visual with auditory as well.
