Jose Silva Jr. Passes Away at 84

LAREDO, Texas - Rezul -- Jose Silva Jr., President of Silva Method UltraMind LLC, passed away at his home on Sunday, March 1, 2026, three weeks shy of his 85th birthday, with his family by his bedside.

His father Jose Silva founded the Silva Mind Control Method in the 1960's and the Silva UltraMind ESP System in 1998.

"He was at peace and so are we" his daughter Ruth Silva said. "He let us know what he wanted and we will continue the work he was doing, the way he asked us to."

The eldest of Jose and Paula Silva's 10 children, Joe had a unique opportunity to witness and document his father's famous research that led to the Silva Method and his newest course, the Silva UltraMind ESP System.

During the past two decades he contributed his knowledge and experience to several new Silva books so that this knowledge will be maintained.
