"Would you believe it, these courses really do work! I discovered that these courses provide what people need - a practical, effective, working-learning experience. If you need to change for the better, or if you want to sharpen up your abilities, here is a course of action, the right opportunity, right now."

In my former job as Training Officer at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough I ran courses for newly appointed Junior Engineering Managers. The crucial part of the course was to encourage them to adopt creative solutions to solve job problems. I could only do this by exhortation since there was no published guide on how to train people to be creative, apart from books on lateral thinking. After I retired I met Gregory Mitchell and was introduced to his Mind Development techniques and I realized that he had evolved a system that would have answered this need. It wasn't enough just to say you had to think laterally to solve problems, you first had to deal with the emotional blocks that prevented people from achieving their full career potential. Next you had to train them to use both hemispheres of the brain to open up their full mental capacity. Gregory had come across the devices used by Dr Francis Lefebure in Paris to achieve this end and many further means were developed.

Once these additional areas of the brain had been opened up it was then necessary to present the students with new study techniques and new areas of application that would make them use the extra capabilities. But Mind Development doesn't stop there, one has to drive these new capacities hard so that parallel pathways of thought develop and problems can be solved in much less time. This was what Gregory called the Metavert State. Beyond this it was necessary to tackle the Mystical States that became apparent to a mind that was capable of both advanced intellect and intuition. The barriers that stood in the way of progress were identified and as a result the Insight Project was developed to enhance spiritual intelligence.

"I was fortunate to work with Gregory for several years. He was my mentor and colleague and his wide-ranging teachings were a major influence on my eclectic psychotherapy practice, the content of my books Transforming the Mind and Daring to be Yourself, and his techniques are also a foundation for my Start a New Life! course. The Trans4mind site would never have existed without his work, since it catalysed my own personal development and provided a sound theoretical basis, objective and without dogma, that I was free to build upon.

My first experience with Greg was as a client and he was by far the most effective psychotherapy practitioner I have ever worked with; in particular the application of psychotherapeutic techniques for personal development, in my case to help prepare for commencing The Insight Project. So effective was his preparation that I achieved astonishing personal results and went on to actually further develop The Insight Project, take on the business and supervise hundreds of students around the world.

Gregory had the unique combination of both phenomenal IQ and savant abilities, and his aim was to make at least a taste of these kind of abilities accessible to normal bright individuals who are willing to do the work required. He went on to research the most advanced levels of cognitive development and discovered many further important insights - in particular, original work on mnemonics, artificial languages and logic. I was with him as he created several revolutionary electronic tools that remain way in advance of what is currently available commercially. Indeed, the latest research by cognitive scientists is only now begining to uncover some of the ideas and methods that Gregory Mitchell has been working with for over 30 years!

Before he retired in 1994, Gregory granted Trans4mind the rights to further develop and edit his materials in order to offer a series of home-study courses through the Internet. The foundation courses are now in place, and over the next few years there will be some 12 courses in total, which will cover the complete spectrum of cognitive development."

"Before doing any Mind Development courses I had a measured IQ of 101 and a reading speed of 180 words per minute, and a digit span of 6. In other words, I was average and as a result, not accomplishing anything of note in my life. The common wisdom is that IQ is a static inherited trait and one simply has to make the best of whatever one is blessed with. My experience differs dramatically...

At the end of several Basic Courses my IQ had increased to 109, with a reading speed of 315 words per minute and my digit span had increased to seven. It might not sound a lot but in practice, this opened up whole new avenues for me. I went on to study Reiki, Rolfing and some other healing methods and passed the exams with flying colors. Before I could never have spoken well in public - I did not have the confidence, because I knew I didn't have the necessary mental skills. After my Mind Development training, however, all this had changed for the better and I was able to give public talks on Reiki and Rolfing.

After further Mind Development training on the Intermediate Courses [not yet available online], my IQ increased still further to 124, my reading speed to 550 words per minute and my digit span to eight. I enrolled in the Open University and took a degree in Sociology. My life was now totally transformed and I have never looked back!"

I met Gregory Mitchell through a Rabbi friend who had been his student and was impressed by his methods. I did the Intermediate Courses as a home student and my friend was right; Gregory's methods are very effective indeed. I went on to become the Medical Consultant for Mind Development in 1990. Gregory has worked with me on many cases in the past few years, at my Harley Street medical practice. I have always found his tolerance, competence and contact with patients to be of a very high order. The results that we have obtained mutually have been most satisfactory. After receiving personal Mind Development training, I went on to explore a number of alternative therapies; several, including Ozone Therapy, were included in my day to day practice. We shared several patients who were going through a midlife crisis, or having transpersonal problems. Likewise, I referred several of my patients to Gregory who had diabetes, thyroid and other conditions that had underlying mental factors, so these could be treated first.

It was about fifteen years ago that I first contacted Gregory Mitchell. I was going through a particularly devastating mid-life crisis following a marital break up and it seemed that all of the significant goals and marker points for my life had gone and I could neither project a future, nor find joy in the present.

With Gregory directly coaching me through particular techniques and aspects of the Mind Development program, I was able to sift out the negative influences and realize and utilize the positive strengths within myself. This resulted in a renewed positivity, an enthusiasm for the future and many life enhancing adventures along the way.

I have since traveled extensively in South East Asia and Africa - and for humanitarian purposes illegally entered Burma. Before I had barely left my home town. After resettling in England I then started a successful a Jazz Club, a dream come true. I have maintained both contact with, and friendship for Gregory, and I have never looked back.

In terms of my own development I would say that prior to the mind development sessions I did not really have a positive educational experience. In fact, I was in some very low sets in school and left school barely with CSEs and not even one 'O' Level. However the information that I gained on Gregory's  mind development courses helped me to progress as an adult learner to the extent that I graduated with a BA Hons Degree then later with a Masters Degree. Having read his later online courses and spoken to Gregory about different aspects of his courses I would recommend them to anyone who seriously wants to improve their learning abilities and general intelligence. My only regret is that I did not meet Greg earlier as who knows how far I could have gone if I had been able to attend his taught courses that were held in London prior to myself meeting him. Despite this I am honored to have met Greg who continues to be an inspiration to me. Greg shared a lot of unique knowledge with me which I continue to utilize and share this knowledge with those in society who are disadvantaged and like myself may not have done well in school.

I would like to thank Gregory and Peter for your research and hard work. The groundbreaking information contained in the Mind Development courses is more valuable than anything I have learned in a classroom. The MD courses have helped me perform better in the classroom (I am a college student) and also help me in day to day activities, such as conversations and constructive arguments. I appreciate everything MD has done for me. I truly believe that these lessons need to be taught to everybody and hope that they will eventually make their way into traditional classrooms.

I am glad to take the opportunity to say that this course was my starting point in my studies of the mind (although I had studied many things before, including a degree in psychology). I found the course extremely interesting and valuable. Perhaps above all things, it gave me the ability and the confidence to continue my studies and my practice of mental development into new fields and into new ideas. I found it gave me freedom from many false and fixed ideas ... even freedom from the course itself.

Mind Development was an essential study for me to grow and develop in my knowledge and courage to research what were formerly daunting areas of the mind. I recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone who seeks freedom and the truth. Thank you, Greg for all that you have done to empower me.

For a period of about five years, around 1995, I worked with Gregory Mitchell on a number of projects concerned with improving of abilities with various technqiues and drills. Amongst other things, I studied a good deal of theory with him and found it a fascinating area. And did drills. One of these, which I have done five minutes a day ever since, resulted after about three years in my having less, and then no need for reading glasses. This, at the age of 65, was quite a feat.

Before meeting Gregory and starting Mind Development training, my life had been dominated by an all-pervading fear, but of what exactly I was unclear. I suffered from insomnia and anxiety. Some years back I visited a hypnotist to cure my smoking. The hypnotist attempted all sorts of other things through regression, etc, and it all went badly wrong. I needed help and thank God, found the right person. One day, when Gregory and I got to the bottom of all this, my problems suddenly just went... I became became Centroverted (a state of internal clarity that transcends both introversion and extraversion). My life became my own. I became interested in gaining further helpful cognitive abilities, so I worked with Greg using the Synchrophone and the Monroe Oscillator, and this pushed my IQ up by about 15 points. I enjoyed my membership of MENSA. It was blissfully easy for me to learn to play the organ and fill my retired life with service as organist at our church, which has given me tremendous satisfaction; something that would have been impossible before Mind Development came into the picture.

I first discovered Mind Development through the book Developing the Mind with Biofeedback. I undertook an intensive period of individual biofeedback-guided therapy with Gregory Mitchell. This transformed my state of mind and I was ready to participate in group training courses. I was Leading student on the 1989 Level Three Course and was thrilled to see my mind climb to heights of achievement (including the 'Metavert' state) that I wouldn't have thought possible and which completely validated Gregory's theories and techniques of mind development.

I first met Gregory thirty years ago when I was nearing the end of my studies at Osteopathic College. We quickly became friends due to our common interest in athletics. My interest was physical: I now practice as an osteopath and am also a member of the Football Association Medical Society.

Gregory's interest was in the mental attitude of the athlete. I still have an article he wrote in those early days entitled "Zen and the Art of Sprinting." During this time he put many of his ideas to the test at Crystal Palace athletic track and attained several unofficial records. Gradually, his business interests intruded; he worked in electronics for a company supplying the government in a managerial role and also as a trade union representative.

More recently, I learned that Gregory had resumed his former interests in the mental aspect of athletic motivation and was working in this field, assisting Dr Victor Ratner in Harley Street. He also had his own practice, motivating the unemployed.

In my observation, Gregory is an original and courageous thinker. His ideas, I have noticed, are a little ahead of time. He is one of the very few visionaries the world is lucky to have.

Mr Gregory Mitchell was engaged on behalf of ourselves from the 30th of May to the 30th of September 1994. During this period Mr Mitchell assisted us in the area of stress management. This has resulted in improvements being made on several fronts on mine and my associate's behalf in both personal and professional spheres. As a result I would have no hesitation in consulting Mr Mitchell in the future or recommending his services to others.

"Well, what can I say, it's been truly amazing. My life has been a bit of a mess with no academic success. My life had to be sorted out. Since working with Mind Development, my concentration has improved, and my IQ went up from 109 to 122. I am thinking more effectively and organizing my time more efficiently. My confidence has steadily increased and I have more control over my life."

"Mind Development has provided tremendous changes for me, right from the beginning through to the advanced courses and individual work with Greg. At the end of the Intermediate Courses, I sent a painting to an art competition and won the first prize of £1,500, and I translated The Yoga of a Sixth of a Second by Doctor Lefebure into English. In my teaching of English as a second language (TEFL), I used many of the exercises from the Basic and Intermediate Courses... this was highly successful. I recommend Greg's approach for anyone who wants to get ahead by being smarter, seeing creative solutions before others have even grasped there is a problem!"

Our association started in 1987 when as a fledgling enterprise I was in need of advice on business planning and basic company infrastructure. You provided consultancy on a monthly basis for the first year and gave much valuable direction. I contacted you in 1989 as developing contacts and influencing skills were coming to the fore and this was an area in which I had little experience. You developed a training program which included background reading, exercises, and one to one coaching where necessary. We worked on this area intensively over several weekends until I achieved sufficient confidence in my skills. Financial distress caused me to re-establish our links soon after in 1990. We met once a week for two months when problem handling and crisis management consultancy helped me to stabilise a difficult position.

It was not until 1994 that I called upon your services again. A plateau had been reached. Strategic planning, "brain-storming" and lateral thinking skills were called into play to find a suitable direction. A personal matter arose late in1996 which required the ear of someone I could both trust and had a broad experience of life. Fortunately you were able to help me in this matter. In conclusion I have found your help as a business and personal development consultant to be of much benefit during all the years of our association and hope that it will continue in the same manner into the future.

"I hadn't realized until reading the "Advanced Reading Course" just how many bad reading habits I had acquired these past 30 years! With a little more practice using the wonderful exercises this book supplies I can truthfully say my reading speed should WAY more than double. But the best part is the amount of material I have already noticed I am RETAINING! Wow! Goodbye Notepads! And truly, thanks a million - it really works!"

"For several months, I've been trying to find out how I can improve my reading speed and improve my own personal skills in general. After doing your course I am genuinely excited because I find the information to be very valuable."

"Thank you for all the help you given me since I began the course. Some things have been real life-shifters for me and I now look at my life and my friends and everything which happens in a completely different way. It's all an exciting game of learning and I'm learning so much! I no longer worry about myself or what other people think, I just enjoy being me and I enjoy others being themselves!"
