I discovered yesterday the name of Jacobo Grinberg, and I found his theories interesting through the lens of Buddhism. Here are a few excerpts from a twitter thread about him (unrolled here)
This Mexican scientist claimed we live in a HOLOGRAPHIC MATRIX where we could dynamically interact with the construction of reality.
Dr. Grinberg raises the possibility that, through consciousness, the human brain can have control over the universe in which we live.
The Lattice, in the field of physics, is the structure in which space-time is found.
His theory proposes that, from the process that the human brain performs to decode perceptual reality, it is possible to establish links with the Lattice , and with it, make changes in space-time.
He postulates that we live in an informational matrix which he calls “the hologram”, in which there is the possibility of interacting with perceptual reality not only as a spectator, but as an active participant in the construction of said reality.
He set out to prove that a quantum system in the brain creates a non-local, EPR correlation among human brains. He called this phenomenon the “transferred potential” (TP), according to which a brain, suitably prepared by a period of meditation, is capable of both proximate and distant interactions with other brains, by a direct involvement of consciousness, and without sensory transmission or local effects.
Dr. Grinberg further proposed that his syntergic theory can explain the emergence of conscious experience, which he saw as the outcome of complex multidimensional interactions. The brain initiates an interaction between an energetic field (neuronal field) and the structure of space and thus gives rise to consciousness.
Against the naïve realism that postulates reality as external to the subject, Dr. Grinberg, adopting an idealistic stance, proposed that perception is neuropsychologically constructed, with information being located in space in the form of “complex patterns of energy.” Conscious experience, he thought, properly occurs when we synthesize the information-energy in space; this is how it becomes syntergic. Neuronal changes in the brain cause micro-distortions in the framework of the space-time continuum, and these, in turn, interact to create a “hypercomplex macro-distortion” of the neuronal field. The final outcome of this process is perceptual experience.
He postulates that we live in an informational matrix which he calls “the hologram”, in which there is the possibility of interacting with perceptual reality not only as a spectator, but as an active participant in the construction of said reality.
He explained that, if a person has a highly syntergic neuronal field, that is, a brain in which the coherence links are greater, he or she will have the ability to modify the hologram at will, thus achieving feats that defy the laws up to now known from physics, just as Pachita did in her shamanic surgeries.
This opens the doors to the investigation of other phenomena, such as telepathy. Grinberg carried out various experiments in which, through meditation, he managed to demonstrate synchrony between two brains exposed to different stimuli that finally produced similar results.
The most enigmatic point of this theory indicates that, if through consciousness we are able to influence the informational matrix, and that, if everything is connected from the energetic interaction of both atoms and thoughts, then there is the possibility of that we inhabit a plane that is not the total reality, that is, in a Matrix into which we have been thrown with a brain capable of understanding the operation of its physical laws, but not its origin.
With this, the idea of an awakening also arises, of taking consciousness further and dominating the hologram. Under this premise, by fully understanding the operation of the matrix, we would simply disappear and reach a state of purity within the true reality.
This could not be verified and, like his studies on extraocular vision in children or telepathy, his projects remained unfinished after he disappeared at the most momentous point of his prodigious career.
On December 8, 1994, Dr. Jacobo Grinberg disappeared without leaving any clues that could help locate him. His absence has given rise to innumerable speculations; from a crime of passion or an alien abduction, to situations linked to the CIA, NASA or anyone who could be interested in what he was developing and discovering in his laboratory.
Do you think these theories could explain iddhis?
