There are moments in history when someone dares to ask a question that doesn’t fit the time they’re living in. Not because it’s wrong — but because it’s too early.

In the late twentieth century, long before heart–brain coherence entered mainstream language, before nervous system regulation became part of everyday conversation, before science softened enough to sit beside mystery, a Mexican psychologist quietly devoted his life to one question: What actually creates reality?

His name was Jacobo Grinberg.

And the question he asked is the same one many of us are feeling today — not as an idea, but as a lived inquiry inside our own bodies.

When the old explanations stop working

Grinberg was classically trained. University educated. A researcher at UNAM. Fluent in the language of psychology and neuroscience. Yet the more deeply he studied the mind, the more something didn’t add up.

The dominant story said this:

The brain produces consciousness, interprets the world, and reality is something fixed “out there.”

But his direct observations — through meditation research, perceptual studies, and altered states — kept revealing a different truth:

Two people could experience the same moment and live in entirely different worlds. Not emotionally different. Fundamentally different.

Which raised a far more unsettling possibility:

What if reality isn’t something we perceive… but something that emerges through us?

A field beneath appearances

Grinberg didn’t reject science. He followed it — right to the edge of what it could explain. Over years of research, he began to articulate a framework he called La Teoría Sintérgica — the Synergic Theory.

At its heart was a deceptively simple idea:

Reality arises through the interaction between two things. Not one.

1. A deeper informational substrate
Not a “field” in a mystical sense, but a foundational layer of potential — the raw data of existence before it takes form.

2. The organisation of the nervous system
Your neural wiring, emotional patterns, beliefs, habits of attention — the internal architecture through which life is interpreted.

Reality, he proposed, is not generated by the brain —it is structured by it. Which means your inner organisation doesn’t just affect how you feel. It affects what you have access to.

Why this matters more than ever

This isn’t abstract philosophy.

It explains why:

• two people can stand in the same room and perceive safety or threat
• one nervous system collapses under pressure while another becomes more alive
• insight, intuition, and clarity arrive when the system is calm — not when it’s forceful

Modern science now gives us language Grinberg didn’t have.

We know that:

• coherence in the nervous system changes information flow
• heart rhythms influence brain processing
• regulated systems perceive more accurately and respond more creatively

In other words:

The quality of your internal state determines the quality of the reality you experience.

Not as positive thinking.
Not as bypassing.
But as biology.

The experiments that disturbed the edges

Later in his work, Grinberg explored questions many researchers avoided.

What happens when two nervous systems enter deep synchrony?
Can perception align across distance under certain conditions?
Does coherence create correlation beyond what classical models predict?

Some experiments suggested anomalies — synchronised patterns, correlations that challenged linear explanations. They were small. Controversial. Difficult to replicate. And they were never absorbed into mainstream neuroscience.

But Grinberg never claimed final answers. He simply pointed to the same conclusion again and again:

Our models of reality are incomplete.

“We are inside consciousness”

One of Grinberg’s most quoted reflections still lands with quiet force:

Consciousness is not inside us.
We are inside consciousness.

Read slowly, this isn’t mystical poetry.

It’s an invitation to reorient identity.

If consciousness is primary —
and the nervous system is a tuning mechanism —
then transformation isn’t about becoming someone else.

It’s about becoming coherent enough to access what’s already possible.

Becoming your future self is not about force

This is where Grinberg’s work quietly meets the path many of us are walking now.

Sustainable change does not come from effort alone. It comes from reorganisation.

From:

• calming the system
• opening perception
• aligning emotion, thought, and physiology

When the system becomes coherent, new futures are no longer imagined —
they are recognised. Not because reality bends to will. But because the lens has cleared.

The unresolved ending

On December 8th, 1994, Jacobo Grinberg disappeared. No confirmed explanation. No resolved narrative.

What remains is not a mystery to solve — but a question to live.

What becomes possible when your inner world is organised in harmony?

Not for a moment.
Not for a breakthrough.
But as a way of being.

Perhaps Grinberg wasn’t meant to give us answers. Perhaps he was meant to prepare us for the moment when we could finally ask the question — not with our minds alone, but with our whole nervous system aligned.

And perhaps that moment…
is now.
