Jose Silva Jr.

Keeping the Silva tradition alive

Jose Silva Jr. - known as Joe or Joe Jr. to his friends - is one of the last links to his father’s pioneering research, and he serves as special consultant to Avlis Productions.

Joe was born in 1941, the first of Jose and Paula Silva’s 10 children. When his father began to experiment with hypnosis in the late 1940s using Joe’s younger sisters and brothers as subjects, Joe was there to help and to document much of the research. He recorded pre-natal age regression sessions when his siblings went back to so-called "past life regressions."

Eventually the research led to a way to develop ESP and Joe and the other children were encouraged to practice is at every opportunity. During those same years, Joe and his brothers also helped out in the family’s electronics repair business.

Joe was in the U.S. Navy serving in Vietnam when his father began taking his findings to the public via a series of workshops in the late 1960s. There was a huge demand for Jose Silva’s "Mind Control" system, as he called it back then, so Mr. Silva asked Joe to come back to Laredo as soon as he could and help run the new seminar business. Joe returned to do just that in 1969, and was one of the three incorporators of Silva International, the corporation that still manages the that original course.

In 1995 Mr. Silva nominated Joe to take over the Presidency of Silva International, a position he has held every since. In 1998 when they set up a new company to manage the new Silva UltraMind ESP System, Joe was named director of that company and assigned the majority ownership.

Throughout the tremendous growth of the Silva Method from its modest beginnings in Laredo, Texas, to more than 100 nations around the world, on to the new trail blazing UltraMind ESP System, Joe has been the most consistent factor, along with his father and his Uncle Juan, who was a co-researcher with Jose Silva.

Joe’s unique perspective of observing his father’s research and the results it produced has provided great insight to help him make good decisions for the companies that manage the business, and for the worldwide corps of Instructors who depend on the Laredo headquarters to help them present seminars that accurately represent the research so that people around the world can take full advantage of Everyday ESP in their own lives.

Joe has been married to his wife Ruth since 1967. They have two children, David and Ruthie, and five grandchildren. Joe holds a black belt in Karate, and helped Ed develop the Silva Star Athlete program in 1984, and The Silva Method-Think and Grow Fit book, which was published by Career Press in 1996.
