How the Scientific Community learned about Jose Silva's Mind Training Systems

 

 In the beginning, Jose Silva was all alone in his research. Even his wife Paula was skeptical and cautious until she eventually saw the benefits in the work he was doing with their children. A few friends in Laredo became interested and listened to his ideas and helped him when he asked them to, but many more were suspicious and even hostile.

 

 Eventually Silva's work attracted the attention of one scientist, who became a close friend and associate, and who brought the research findings to the attention of many other scientists. This pioneering research, overcoming many obstacles and challenges, has provided Jose Silva with many wonderful memories of the people and events that helped us to take the first step into the second phase of human evolution on the planet by succeeding with metaphysics.

 

 This is the story about how scientists became aware of the new science that Jose Silva has named "psychorientology." A scientist takes a peek   

 

The first scientist who came to Laredo, Texas, to investigate the research that Silva was doing was Dr. J.W. Hahn, director of the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio, Texas.

Through Dr. Hahn, many more scientists became interested in the pioneering research into the mind and human potential. Mind Science Foundation was founded by millionaire oil man Tom Slick Sr. It was Mr. Slick who asked Dr. Hahn to check out Silva's work. He took back a very favorable report. In fact, Dr. Hahn took the first step that led to Jose Silva's mind training system being taught to the public for the very first time.

 

 Here's how it happened:

 

 More results than university researchers got

 

 After Dr. Hahn's visit to Laredo, he called Dr. N.E. West, the head of the Department of Psychology at Wayland Baptist in University in Plainview, Texas, and arranged for him to visit Laredo and inspect Silva's findings.

 

 Dr. West was impressed. Even though he had visited the laboratories of Dr. J.B. Rhine at Duke University on two occasions, he said that he had never seen so much valid scientific work done on ESP

 

 A very successful visit

 

 That led to an invitation by Dr. West for Silva to come to Plainview and present a lecture to the psychology students at the college.
