The Teachers
(Scroll down for Avadhut)

The story of Jose Silva — the mind behind The Silva Method — is one of the world’s greatest success stories. During his lifetime, Jose Silva was a businessman, athlete, artist, educator, scientist, philosopher, and the founder of The Silva Method.

After starting his business career at the tender age of six, this self-educated man would eventually work his way up and become a well-respected businessman, establish an electronics training school in his hometown Community College, design and receive patents for several biofeedback instruments, and write over a dozen books that would reach over two dozen countries.

He spent his entire lifetime developing his creative and intuitive abilities and teaching others to find their own abilities within themselves.

Silva spent over 20 years studying great minds, researching the human condition, and developing self-help programs before unveiling his findings. Silva’s research findings – The Silva Method — first made its way to the public eye in 1966. Today his life’s work is being presented in over 30 languages in 180 countries. Silva served as Chairman of the Board of The Silva Method up until 1999, when he passed away peacefully in his home.
