Ed Bernd Jr. grew up in the newspaper business and said he was way beyond skeptical about ESP-he was certain that it didn't exist. Ed says that he has used his ESP virtually every day since he attended that first Silva program back in 1975.

He became a Silva Instructor in 1977, and was invited to join the Silva world headquarters staff in 1981 as an instructor and editor of the company newsletter. He quickly began putting his communications skills to work to let people know about the benefits of the program, and worked with Jose Silva as editor or coauthor of more than a dozen books.
