FROM

THE

EDITORBy Nelda Sheets

THE POWER OF CREATIVE THINKING is

the theme of this issue of SilvaNews. Creativity

is one of my favorite topics. As an artist and

a person who has a mission to x things,

increasing my own creativity is a major goal.

The rst class of the Silva Method was started

because art teacher, Dord Fitz had an intense

interest in creativity. In every art class he

challenged, Kids, our Creator made you

creative. Claim your creative heritage.

Creative thinking is in the heart of the

Silva Method.

Jos Silva gave us this directive: Let us

continue to strive to take part in creative and

constructive activities to make this a better

world to live in.

Creative thinking is a tapestry, a painting,

a poem, a story, a song, a dance, a building

or sculpture. It is a new health treatment,

an invention, a social reform, a new recipe.

Creativity is a solution for any change. In the

Silva Method class it is Level One, Dream

Control, Glass of Water Technique, Mirror of

Mind, Habit Control, ESP, and Case working.

Power is the ability to make things happen.

Graduates of the Silva Method have the power

and potential to make things happen in their

personal lives, careers and to make the world abetter and better place with creative thinking.

Now, more than ever, we yearn to be a

person with power to be in charge of our lives.

We yearn for peace and justice in our families,

our neighborhood and the world. We yearn

to be a successful and prosperous person. If

a magical genie offered us three wishes, one

wish would surely be for world peace, another

for purposeful lives. Until a genie comes along, let

us make use of our personal power to make things

happen. To insure a powerful life, we have choices

One choice is to go outside and bury our head in

the muck or sand. A smart choice is go within and

utilize the power of creative thinking to make thing

better and change what isnt working. A better worl

purposeful living and positive changes with the pow

of creative thinking are in you hands. Creativity is

our heritage. We only need to claim it.

Another reason that I am interested in creative

thinking is a recent reminder that this month

(October) I will celebrate 75 years of adventures and

life-changing journeys. I am thinking that it is time

to be serious about doing things that makes me aga

feel the kid within. A few weeks ago I read this quo

by Sophia Loren and it immediately was placed on

my bulletin board. There IS a fountain of youth.

is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring

your life and to the people you love. When you lear

to tap this source you will have truly defeated age.

Makes sense to me!

In this issue of the SilvaNews, we have articles

creativity by three pioneers of the Silva Method, Ha

McKnight, Dr. George DeSau and me.

We have poems written by the very creative Alic

McKnight. As you read them give your self a treat

and read slowly, deliberately and enjoy the music a

rhythm of the words. Let Alices creative spirit touc

yours. It is with pleasure that I can tell you that th

book I have written about the early days of Silva is

published and available on this web site and the Si

ofce.

In this issue we introduce a rst, a ctional sto

which is another facet of creativity from our own Ar

Director, George Williams. n

uthor Robert Fritzdefines

creative thinking as the mental process

of making something up, which may be

originating a solution for our projects.

Or it may be a painting, a poem, a song,

a social concern, or a formula in science

such as dealing with chaos in nature. A

challengecan be a dare or an invitation

to a specific action. We define legacy as

something coming from an ancestor or

predecessor.

Today, we possess the greatest

legacy of genius and creativity ever

known to humans. The creative

adventure began over thirty seven

thousand years ago, with pre-historic

mans first crude drawings on the walls of

caves. With these drawings, he began to

communicate the ideas in his mind.

Creative thinking gave us the

discovery of fire, the invention of the

wheel and the boat. The beginning of

revolutionary discoveries and inventions

that have fashioned the world we have

inherited.

Every library is a treasure house of

the geniuses of assorted eras. There we

have the legacy of such great thinkers as

Leonardo da Vinci, George Washington

Carver, William Shakespeare, Thomas

Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and

thousands others who will inspire our

creative spirits.

Isaac Newton wrote, If I have seen

farther than others, it is because I have

stood on the shoulders of giants.

Today, each of us can stand on

the shoulders of the greatest men and

women who have ever lived. This is

our legacy of creative thinking. We ca

travel the world and follow the paths

of the great explorers who have made

everlasting marks on the lives of huma

beings.

The notion of exploration has

always held a sense of romance, a sen

of adventure, a sense of fulfillment for

many of us, and we have had a special

opportunity to work with one of today

great explorers of the mind, Jos Silva

the formative years of the Silva Metho

creative thinking.

ilva Internationals 40thanniversaryconvention last August was acelebration of staying connected and focused

on the vision sparked by Jos Silva of

helping humanity to evolve while converting

the planet into a paradise.

Silva graduates, instructors and Silva

family members (even some of the original

research subjects) with a diverse range of

experience with Silvafrom 40 years to 4

monthstraveled from Australia, Belgium,

Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany,

Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, and all over the

US to radiate energies of love, compassion

and co-operation nestled in the charming

ambiance of the Embassy Suites in Laredo,

Texas.

The energy was very high, the

presentations inspiring, and the research

reports very supportive. The food was

excellent and plentiful. The entertainment

of the Mexican Folkloric Dancers, and

Serenatas de Mexico was delightful.

Dr. Aretoula Fullam had just completed

a research fellowship at Harvard Medical

School on the effects of the Silva Method

with MS patients, andyou guessed itthe

positive effects were conclusively dramatic.

More information will be forthcoming.

Dr. Gary Schwartz from the University

of Arizona wound up his $5 million study

for the National Institutes of Health on

case working and remote healing. He saidthe results were amazing as to the efcacy

of our work. We will have more to report on

this fascinating subject.

Thank you and deep feelings of

appreciation extend to all participants,

speakers, behind-the-scenes staff, as well

as Max and Hilda Silva Rubio for helping

to make this happen. To Nelda Sheets, the

convention director responsible for the

selection and co-ordination of the speake

and workshops, for her continued service

commitment, and love of the Silva Method

we congratulate you.

What a joyous time it was to bein Laredo, Texas, the home of Jos

Silva, for the celebration of the Silvas 40

Ken Coscia

The 200Silva Conventio

Just a few years ago, the mind was

a vast, uncharted territory. We can liken

what we know about the mind to what

the 15thCentury Europeans knew about

America.

Once Columbus had discovered

how to get to America, maps were drawn

and others soon followed the trail he

chartered and others soon followed

the trail he blazed to the new world of

America, which millions now inhabit.

Over the centuries, there have been

many explorers searching forand

findingthe new world of the mind.

Jos Silva studied them all. Some

explorers were searching for the spiritualaspects such as Buddha, Mohammed,

and Jesus. A second group of explorers

were searching for mental skills that

led them to science of suggestion and

to hypnosis. Some of these giants are

Gassner, Mesmer, Braid, Bernheim and

Charcot. A third group explored brain

physiology and its connection to the

mind, psychometry and psychology.

Some of the names we know best arePavlov, Freud, Jung, Adler, and Berger.

What Jos Silva has done for us is

to create a map of the New World, the

New Frontier of the mind. From what the

explorers learned about the mind, Jos

Silva applied to creating better health

and education for his children and his

neighbors. As he explored the practical

applications of all that he learned from

the giants in the field of the mind, he

created formulas for subjective education

(a treasure map), for his children, his

neighbors and eventually millions of

people around the world. That treasure

map is what we know as the Silva

Method.

Our legacy is a treasure map of

creative thinking.n

anniversary convention! It was delightful

to see Joss children present and to be

able to speak to them about their legendary

father. The convention attendees were all

positive and fun, the weather was nice, the

food was great, and our hosts were very

hospitable. Nelda had done an awesome job

in organizing such a memorable function. I

will always remember this event.

By Kain Samiya, CSMI Texas

It was truly an enriching and inspiringexperience to attend the Silva Convention in

Laredo recently. It brought back memories

galore and reminders of what could be if I

got back to practicing all I learned from Jos

Silva and Nelda Sheets in 1968. Through the

speakers I looked back as well as forward.

The talks were certainly memory joggers as

well as challenges. Im back to going to

level at least once a day thanks to all the

presenters and participants. It was all so

soul stirring.

By Geri Eveler, Graduate Texas

This is what I remember most about theconvention: From Dr. George DeSau: Live

in fear and be manipulated into doing sub-

human things. Dont buy into the fear. The

universe always says, Yes. You think it, you

energize it, and you get it.

A special benet of celebrating our 40th

Anniversary was the sensing and feeling of

oneness as a group, which helps change, a

persons concept of who they are and can

become.

Betty Gerald, retired CSMI Texas

My objective in attending this yearsconvention was twofold: I was eager to

hear several other instructors present

their ideas so that I could enhance my own

knowledge base and presentation skills, and

I wanted to share an idea for increasing

class attendance. I feel that in recent years

our classes have been eclipsed by similar

offerings, many of which cost far more and

deliver much less than ours. One factor that

could position us (Silva) for exploding class

size as well as decreased promotional costs

is to get our seminar certied by national

boards that govern continuing education

for dozens of elds of study, including all

medical elds. This initiative must come

from Silva International, rather than from

one individual instructor or a group of

instructors so that every certied instructor

could benet.

I much prefer this years convention

style: showcasing many of the talented

instructors from around the world rather

than simply having a big name speaker. It

was a pleasure for us to hear such a variety

of speakers, and it was difcult to choose

which workshop to attend. While meeting

many instructors from around the world is

fun, it is even more fun to hear them speak

and to learn from them. I plan to use many

of the ideas I gleaned to improve my own

presentation, and I hope my idea falls on

fertile ground as well.

Sylvia Hodges, CSMI Texas

Folks, the convention was as excitingand energizing as I had hoped. The

workshops were some of the best ever and I

came away looking forward to using what I

have learned. Hope you make it next time.

What if our very wordingis a

statement counter to creativity? Most of

us, including Mr. Webster of dictionary

fame, refer to thinking as a process

of recall or conscious processing of

information. On the other hand,

creativity has a dynamic definition of

bringing into existence. In this sense,

thinking and creating seem to have

diametrically opposing dynamics. Is it

then possible to have a resolution or is

the issue confused because of our use of

terms? I believe the answer is Yes and

yes!

What happens if we conceptualize

creativity as an orchestrated symphony

with Intelligence playing on consciousand subconscious dimensions to produce

a new and novel outcome?

Let me develop this theme a bit

further and relate it to some of the

techniques in the Silva Method material.

Characteristically there is a sensing

or awareness on a conscious level that

there is a problem that one wants to

solve. This could involve a situation that

you want to change whether it concerns

finances, a relationship, career, limiting

beliefs, or anyone of a number of possible

situations.First step is this awareness or sensing

of something that needs changing. Note

that this involves both an objective and

subject element. One may perceive this

as dominant and non-dominant brain

hemisphere functions. Entering in at

this point is a need to have a desire to do

something about it. Without the desire,

action is seldom taken.

Recognizing the problem, there

is usually a period of thinking aboutsolutions. At this level, one may

consciously find a solution by thinking

logically of alternatives. Failing that,

many folks drop seeking solutions and

decide to live with the problem.

Those who continue, do something

quite interesting. They stop thinking

about the problem. It is at this point

that the problem is dropped into the

subjective realm. Some terminology cthis the Incubation Period.

Having done that, we can look

at the fantastic symphony that takes

place. Now we have bypassed the

logical critical faculty of the objective

dominant hemisphere and are into th

non-time/space dynamics of the non-

dominant hemisphere. At that time w

also bypass the call of the old reptilian

brain to not produce anything new or

different, because that would be newterritories and a threat. At the same ti

one bypasses the mid-brain activity of

requiring conformity to old patterns o

it also raises anxiety signals, which cau

most behavior to return to old pattern

Hence no new creative answers!

The exciting part of all this is that

the Silva Method approach is replete

Dr. George DeSau

Creative Tinking

Really?

with techniques to produce

new solutions to problems or

existing conditions that are in

need of change. Here again

is a dynamic that needs be

addressed. Research shows

that about 95% of what we

do and think today is what

we did or thought yesterday.

This is at once a blessing and

a curse. It is a blessing for

some, giving stability, and a

curse in that it says we have

strong tendencies to keep

things as they are. Not a great

statement for creativity.

Given the desire for

a creative change, look at

some of the Silva techniques

that allow for this conscious

and subconscious use of

Intelligence to be creative.

The Glass of Water technique

plays on conscious (state the

problem) and drink water

and off to sleep letting the

unrestricted subconscious

form solutions that bypasses

the critical conscious left brain

as well as the reptilian and

mid-brain anxiety producing

functions. This gives

Intelligence full rein to come

up with creative solutions.

Working cases, health,

business, personal or

whatever, also has the

dynamic of conscious

stating a problem then using

subjective non-time space

limiting to find information

and work on solution. Or the

Mirror of the Mind where one

blue-frames the problem as

defined objectively. Then

to perceive the solution and

essentially turns it over to

Intelligence to create the n

situation. Our sensitivity th

is to be alert to synchronic

that leads to the solution

created at subjective levels

manifest objectively.

Exploration of other Si

techniques gives further

evidence of the creative

process developed by Jos

Silva which gave to us the

tools to be truly creative do

rather than just thinkers.

We all, with use of the Silva

Method, have the ability to

be Creators to make this an

exciting life as opposed to

tiptoeing through life hopi

to make it safely to death.

The ability to create a full a

exciting life is available, so

create, and use the techniq

to manifest a better life for

yourself and help make thi

better world in which to liv

This becomes a statement

of both opportunity and

responsibility for the privile

of sharing your life on our

planet.

THE JOURNEY

Who make the inward journey

In search of intuited shores

Of Truth and Spiritual Meaning,

Free of ceilings and walls and oors,

Are pilgrims attuned to our MakerDiscerning the Oracles word

Know Thyself by deeply within-ing

Where intention is visually heard.

Herein, gone the vain and vainglorious,

Herein, the domain of the soul.

Connection to Source through

reection;

Inner focus, the means and the goal.

All are born to the learning a living

Dimension; ever we pilgrims will learn

The kingdom within is our birthright

Source given, for us to discern.

And that Source is within us as well as above

And around us, and that all life is kin,

We give thanks for the gift of the kingdom within.

The kingdom within comes a gift at each birth

Say the prophets of old and of now on this earth.

Loving others as self, venerating our Source

Validates all life meaning in this lifetime course.

We have come to awareness through centuries span

Of being becomings. Each woman, each man

Grown in insight, that knowing within, coming from

The Spiritual Source from which all life forms come.

The kingdom responds to our own inner voice.

Its works are entirely our own free will choice.

Live Love is the message the kingdom proclaims.

When we listen, we hear Love is calling our names.

What you desire, believe,expect, intend and choose at level, you

do achieve.

As the song goes, Youve got to

accentuate the positive, eliminate the

negative, and dont mess with Mister In-

between.

When you do all of the above from

your centered-self,you have empowered

your project.

To center yourself is to practice

relaxing,neutralizing negative stress,

and focusing your alpha-level thinking,

visualizing,imagining and verbalizing

so you can meaningfully and mindfully

release the creator side of your

personality,your spiritual self.

It is then that your higher self, the true

self, the One Self that we all are,reaches

through the chaotic darkness and

enlightens the reality that is.

Then you look upon It and say that

It is good. Away falls the positive,the

negative,the spaces and dashes in-

between. They, if they ever were, vanish

and you, the Creator, enjoy your creation,

along with myriad other facets in this

brilliant diamond of the Monad That Is

and that we all are.

And then you realize that there is even

more than you have experienced and

expressed, and you accept that you are

the Creator on this infinite journey of self-

expression and you are grateful, humbled

and joyous in adoration of the allthat we

all are.

Your joy is ecstatic!

You have arrived in your kingdom, out

of the swill of the pigsty.

The prodigal realizes where she/

You, The Creator

he/it always was: The Center of Being

where there is only now. Nothing was

Everything is.

And you sigh in relief and return to

your busy days and nights,vibrating

quantum life.

Silva Stories begins with

short autobiographical sket

that lets the reader in

Book Review by

Sylvia Smith

Silva Sports a New Logo

Yo u may have noticed new Silva logos cropping up in vari-ous places, such as the Web site and bulletins from Joe Silva,

Jr. to name only a few.

Why did we change? The reasons are many, but mainly we

wanted to make a modern-day version of Jos Silvass origi-

nal Mind Control/Psychorientology logo.

Why didnt we go back to the original? Simple. It no longer

represents the current state of the Silva Method. We dont

use the phrase Mind Control, and we are no more the sci-

ence of tomorrow today. Instead, we teach mind develop-

ment, and we are very much the science of today, today.

We have retained, in an updated form, some of the most

important symbols originally designed by Mr. Silva. Most

prominent is the torch, emphasizing that we are still lighting

the way to help improve the world and its people.

Behind the torch is a green triangle, representing body, mind

and spirit, and behind it is a green field, gradating from light

at the top to dark at the bottom, showing the journey from

limited to greater levels of awareness and perception.

Surrounding these elements is a rich blue circle describing

the global home of the Silva Method, Silva International,

with its signature idea of Serving Humanity Better. The

black outlining of the blue circle indicates that there exist

levels still unknown to us.

The colors blue, green, red and black are mirrored in theScale of Brain Evolution chart as the beta, alpha, theta and

delta levels respectively.

WHO IS

INSPECTORTORCH

?

Continued next p

Joel Visasis an enigma. Little is known about his past. Some say he is of

Gypsy origins; others insist that he is Egyptian, a descen-

dant of the pharaohs. Still others say they have on good au-

thority that he is definitely of Mezzo-American extraction,

and to strengthen

their position they

point out that the

famous inspec-

tor is inordinately

fond of chocolate,

especially in liq-

uid form. Drink

of the Gods, he

was heard to com-

ment on numer-

ous occasions.

Of all this, Visas

would say only

that he recognized the connection between Gypsies and

Egyptians, and pointed out the similarities of the Egyptian

and Mayan cultures. And, he went on, everybody likes

chocolate. Does that make everybody Mezzo-American?

During one of his adventures, Visas observed that the

jade-masked skeleton of a man named Pakal, found in the

stone sarcophagus deep within the pyramid called the

Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, Mexico, was in fact the

mortal remains of a wandering Egyptiana Gypsyw

lived among the Mayan people a thousand years bef

the temple was reportedly built. Pakal, when asked ab

his name, said only that it meant man of the heavens

that his brother and sisters had found refuge elsewhe

among the People of the Salmon, the first people of w

is now Canadas Pacific coast. Pakal was made ruler of

Mayan people in the year 608 C.E., a year after his arr

at Palenque when he was reportedly age twelve, althou

stories in glyphs reveal that, a thousand years earlier,

character written about as Pakal was eleven years old

would seem that he had aged only one year in a mill

nium. With a history

like that he would be a

mighty fine insurance

risk.

When, in 676 C.E.,

Pakal left his body,

(Visas reported) he

did so voluntarily and

without assistance. He

willed open the four-

ton sarcophagus cover,

climbed inside, put on the exquisite jade mask, and li

wise willed the cover to gently lower itself. Then, with

fanfare, Pakal checked out.

Presenting the amazing tales of Inspector Torch is aendeavor to illustrate the Silva Methods focused-think-

ing principles with gentle good humor.

Joel Visas is an anagram, and his alter-appellation,Inspector Torch, harks back to

the original Silva Mind Control logo.

In relating the adventures of the Torch there are otherclues and connections linking to the Silva Method. I

will leave it to the reader to discover them.George Williams

Who is Inspector Torch continued

The cover of the sarcophagus is,

by itself, an object of wonder and

much speculation. It is carved in relief

with an image of a manreportedly

Pakalssurrounded by some pretty

strange items. Some see the old boy

seated at the controls of a rocket ship

at blastoff. Its all there, they say, the

flames erupting from the bottom of

the ship, the nose cone, Pakal in his

space helmet seated at the controls.

Others say basically, that the space-

ship interpretation is so much pukky

and the real deal is that Pakal is actu-

ally shown linked with the Tree of theWorld.

The Tree of the World is specially

marked as a sacred object: the sym-

bols for Te, or tree, confirm it is a

cottonwood. The symbols for Nen, or

mirror, indicate that the tree is a

shining and powerful being, called

That Which is Holy. The Tree of the

World is linked with Pakals body, in-

tertwined with his arms, legs and tor-

so. The tips of the trees branches areshaped like the bowls used to catch

sacrificial blood. Jade beads and

tubes surround the sacred square-

nosed dragons that are born from

these vessels. These jewel-covered

monsters are depicted in deliberate

contrast to the skeletal dragons below

them, illustrating the world of death

into which Pakal supposedly falls.

During his fall from the Tree of the

World, Pakal is seated upon the Mon-ster of the Sun. The Monster is aptly

represented in its state of transition

between life and death, a skeleton

from the mouth down, with eyes that

have the dilated pupils of living be-

ings. The sun enters into this state of

transition at dawn and at dusk. Here,

however, the emblem of the Monster

of the Sun contains the Cimi, or s

of death, emphasizing imagery r

resenting the death of the sun

sunset, with the sun located on

horizon, ready to sink into the Und

worldand take the dead king w

it.

Pakal insisted that he was sepa

ing his spirit from that particular b

for no other reason than that he h

been reassigned. His mission in C

tral America was over and he w

headed elsewhereand elsewhen

About Pakal and his extraordin

departure, Visas would say little mexcept to cryptically comment that

end of the Mayan civilization was

ally just its beginning. For those w

wish to understand more, he s

simply reading the crystal skulls

following their instructions will rev

alla difficult task since the worl

moving too fast these days. Visas

an excellent sense of humor, a qua

equal only to his amazing powers

observation.Some said that Joel Visas him

was most likely an Egypto-Ma

wizard. Visas would never contra

them. I dont argue, he said.

If determining his lineage see

difficult, estimating his age is

plain impossible. On some days J

looks youthful, apple-cheeked and

brant; on others he appears ancie

gray of eye and demeanor.

No matter; whatever age Joel Vseems to be, he never loses his aur

immense and unquenchable pow

He is truly a man of the ages. n

THE INCIDENT OF THE

INCENDIARY

MICROCHIROPTERA

Mexican Free-tailed Bat

Continued next p

Joel Visas inherited his professionalname, Torch from a curly-haired, blue-eyed eleven-

year-old during a singular occurrence involving Visas,

two dozen amateur chefs, their spouses, and several hun-

dred omnivorous bats at the annual Francis X. Tolbert Chili

Cook-off in Terlingua, Texas.

Francis X. Tolbert was a hell of a man,

Texas and chili he preached across the land.

Hes the godfather of chili everyone did proclaim

Though most hadnt met him, they all knew his name.

Francis X. Tolbert single-handedly made chili a popular

household food. Francis was a journalist and author and

worked at the Dallas Morning News. Tol-

berts most popular work, A Bowl of Red

(1962), was devoted to chili con carne.

Soon after the publication of A Bowl ofRed,Tolbert founded the Chili Apprecia-

tion Society International, which is based

in the ghost town of Terlingua in Big Bend

National Park, where the Societys annual

chili-cooking contest is held.

The incident began when a cave full of

bats were startled into flight because of

an explosion in a pressure cooker used

by one Omar Fripner, a chili aficionado,

who had driven all the way from Nez

Perce, Idaho in his mothers vintage NashAmbassador especially to participate in

the famed cook-off competition. Due to the sorry condi-

tion of the Nash, Omar had arrived late on the day of the

event and his traditional slow cooking of the chili ingre-

dients was completely out of the question. Noindeed

nothe only way he could hope to catch up was to resort

to extreme measures and, gods of chili forbid, pressure

cook his tiny cubes of rib eye by using his mothers 1950s

vintage CookRite pressure cooker, the kind with the wob-

bly little gravity valve on top, and an off-again-on-ag

O-ring seal in the lid. You have to give credit to Omar

covering at least this one contingency, albeit with obsol

equipment.

Considering his tardiness, things were going pretty w

for Omar until he became impatient and decided to t

up the fire in his portable propane two-burner del

camping grill with the handy pot warmer on the side. Y

know, he said to no one in particular, I think Ill just k

it up a notch.

The resultant explosion, while spectacular, was mess

say the least. All 363 mini-cutlets of ribeye shot skywar

a near-orbit event. The noise of the blast and the rich sm

of the airborne steak awakened a huge family of bats w

burst from their nearby cave and, altho

frightened and grumpy, were nevert

less ravenously hungry. And there, jus

they took off, appeared a seemingly eless number of edible, precooked, sp

and delectable beef bits just floating

the air, waiting to be gobbled up by

flying nocturnal mammal in the vicinity

Bats get bad press. Vampires, say so

while cringing and blessing themsel

Chupacabras, they say, sucking the v

life out of some poor baby goat an

who can sayyour neighbors kid co

be next. As you probably know, bats

nighttime creatures, sleeping upsidown on the ceiling of a cave or in a de

tree during the day, waking in the evening to forage

food. Of the entire worlds bat population very few dr

blood let alone actually suck the stuff, except for the o

that movie directors hire for their scary films.

Our man Fripners ill-timed pressure cooker explos

jolted the bats awake a good hour earlier than usual

they were seriously ready for breakfast and on discover-

ing hundreds of pieces of ready-to-eat airborne meat they

were more than ready to chow downor up, in their case.

Unfortunately for the bats and anyone else nearby, Omar

had elected to perk up his steak bits with a variety of pep-

pers; cayenne, jalapeos and the deadly Red Savino Ha-

banero, the worlds hottest pepper. Registering

an amazing 500,000 Scoville Units, the Red

Savino is the Mount Vesuvius of hotness.

Hades only attempts to be as hot as a

Red Savino. When the bats gobbled

the floating beef cubes they imme-

diately developed a serious case

ofwellgas. And in an unusual

side effect, the Red Savino Habane-

ro peppers had the power to render

them temporarily insane and make

them uncharacteristically aggressive.

So now, get the picture. What we have

here is a world-famous chili cook-off con-

test in a ghost town, dozens of stainless steel

and porcelain pots of simmering chili, an erupt-

ing pressure cooker, sky-high ribeye, and flatulent, flesh-

eating, flying rats who, after clearing the air of tiny pieces

of steak, remained ravenously hungry. What else could

300-odd, voracious and psychotic bats do? They made a

mad dive for the rest of the chili, of course. Wouldnt you?The chili pots never had a chance; but what came next

was the stuff of legends.

Along with the rest of the cook-off crowd, Joel Visas

nessed the bat attack, but it was only Visas who had

composure and acumen to do something to save the d

It was Visas, and only Visas, who realized that the airbo

rodents werein a phrasegas-driven.

Quickly snatching up a nearby long-necked, buta

powered, professional-grade grill lighter, Joel

into the midst of the bat storm. Holding

lighter aloft he clicked the trigger an

erupted into flame. And so did seve

hundred bats, whose highly flam

ble methane vapor trails roared

NASA-worthy columns of high-pr

sure fire. It was a spectacle of e

proportions.

Imagine, if you will, several h

dred jet-propelled bats shoot

skyward and exploding in a show

of multicolored sparkles. And then

the middle of the best light show the r

dents of the ghost town of Terlingua, Te

had ever seen, the golden-haired angel with tw

kling blue eyes pointed to Joel Visas and said, See? H

the Torch.

The name stuck, and although the competition was c

celled that year, there was still more than enough bee

go around.Everyone agreed that it was the best chili cook-off ever

he celebrations usually include sing-

ing, praying and decorating churcheswith baskets of fruit and food in the festival

known as Harvest Festival or Harvest Home,

or Harvest Thanksgiving. During harvest fes-

tivals in Britain, people bring in food from

the garden or farm. The food is often distrib-

uted among the poor and senior citizens of

the local community.

In the USA and Canada, the festival is set

in November and has become a national

holiday known as Thanksgiving. In North

America it has become a national secular

holiday with religious origins, but in Britainit remains a church festival giving thanks to

God for the harvest.

Harvest is from an Anglo-Saxon word

haerfestwhich meant autumn. It then

came to refer to the season for reaping and

gathering grain and other grown products.

The full moon nearest the autumnal equi-

nox is called the harvest moon. So in ancient

traditions harvest festivals were traditionally

held on or near the Sunday of the harvest

moon. This moon is the full moon which

falls in the month of September.An early harvest festival used to be cel-

ebrated at the beginning of the harvest

season on August first, and was called lam-

mas, meaning loaf mass. Farmers made

loaves of bread from the fresh wheat crop.

These were given to the local church as the

communion bread during a special service

thanking God for the harvest.

Early settlers took the idea of harvest

thanksgiving to North America. The most fa-

m o u s o

the har- v eT h a n k s - gi v

held by the Pilg

fathers in 1621.

No wa da ys the fe

val is held at the end of

vest which varies in diffe

parts of Britain. Some tim

n e i g h b o u r i n g churches

set the Harvest Fest iva l

different Sundays so that people

attend each others thanksgivin

Farmers celebrat- ed the end ofharvest with a big meal called a harvest

per. Some churches and villages still ha

harvest supper.

The modern British tradition of celeb

ing Harvest Festival in churches bega

1843, when the Reverend Robert Haw

invited parishioners to a special thanks

ing service at his church at Morwensto

Cornwall. Victorian hymns such as Co

ye thankful people, come, and All th

bright and beautiful helped popularis

idea of harvest festival and spread thenual custom of decorating churches w

home-grown produce for the Harvest

tival service.

In the early days, there were ceremo

and rituals at the beginning as well as at

end of the harvest.

In the west of England the ceremon

Crying The Neck was practiced. Today

still re-enacted annually by the Old C

wall Society.n
