Students learn they are spiritual beings with much to give

When I opened my eyes, to my surprise there were the two who had taken the cab, coming down the corridor toward the room with, of course, my Silva suitcase!

The books were missing, and a lot of what I got back was damaged.

They found some of it in the street and some of it was in trash cans and dumpsters.

We celebrated.

The thing we celebrated the most was how they had used their faculties of genius so effectively with so little Silva training behind them. They were all so proud.

So many who need help

On Tuesday, one of them had brought in the Parade Magazine to share with me. On the front page was a picture of a young mother and her two children with a sign out in the street asking for work. They were homeless.

When I turned to the article there was a picture of a very dignified man in a suit with a hat on looking very successful and sophisticated. He reminded me of my grandfather, Floyd Monaco.

When I read the sign he held in his lap, where he sat near passing traffic, my eyes filled with tears and my heart hurt and my throat had a lump in it.

Thank God for the three finger's technique as I applied it and got control of my emotions.

The sign read, I am not a bum. I am not lazy. I am 74 years old. I have worked all of my life. I would like to work for food. I do not want a hand out.

I thought how sad it was that he felt like he had to defend who he was and what he was doing.

It was at that moment I made a decision that would affect the rest of my life. I knew then and I announced it to the class that I would dedicate a portion of the rest of my life to helping the homeless through Jose Silva's Systems.

I said to them, "If you remember, I said to you at the beginning of this class that I had a sneaky and almost guilty suspicion that I would get more out of this week than you will, that I will learn more from you than you from me."

I thanked them for the enormous contribution they had already made in my life. And it was only Tuesday.

Warren's first success
