Why do I care what the late Jose Silva put out? It is because he is actually addressing children’s brain development, and did years of research to come up with his findings. For him it started out because his children were not doing well at school, so he thought to help them by finding out more and developing a training program. The strange thing is, not only did they do better, but they also developed parapsychological abilities. This is how he came to understand that the slower brainwaves (alpha, green) relate to a more inward state, a more powerful and balanced state of being, and why he labels it CENTER or BASIC PLANE on the previous chart. He was featured on YouTube before he passed away, and he does mention that these slower brainwaves are also the connection to the inner worlds, to ourselves in our essence, to right brained creativity and intuition. It is the portal to inner states of consciousness. Here is the chart again, with slightly different wording:

When I looked up what others have said about brainwaves, I have not found anyone interested in how children’s consciousness develops. And further, they blithely state that we just leave those slower brainwaves behind. So this means we leave our deeper connection to the universe behind, and the deeper connection to ourselves, to creativity, imagination and intuition. It also means, that when we push young children into faster brainwaves, left brained school learning, before they are truly ready, we rob them of living fully and deeply, their magical connection to the planet they are born on and their own infinite inner selves. We want our children to stay connected to and use their slower thinking, their right brained thinking and not have it atrophy, not have it left behind.

In one of his YouTube talks, he mentions that Beta is the brainwaves we are in when we are in a business meeting, when there is stress, antagonism and/or pressure. Beta is Left brained, analytical, linear, logical. It is abstract thinking, not picture thinking. It is definitely not where anyone wants to get stuck. He called his program Mind Control, his meaning was that YOU must learn to control how your mind is functioning to do its best for you, your balance, your health, your joy, and your fulfillment of your purpose on this planet. .
