Biography

Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum was born in Mexico City in 1946. Grinberg decided to study the human mind when he was 12 years old, after his mother died from a stroke.[2] He studied psychology at the Science Faculty of UNAM.[3] In 1970, he went to New York City to study psychophysiology at the Brain Research Institute. He earned a Ph. D. at the E. Roy John Laboratory.[3]

When he went back to Mexico, he founded a laboratory of psychophysiology at the Universidad Anáhuac. He installed another laboratory of this kind in UNAM in the late 1970’s. He founded the Instituto Nacional para el Estudio de la Conciencia (INPEC) in 1987,[1] financed by UNAM and CONACYT. Jacobo published several of his books through INPEC.[3] Grinberg wrote more than 50 books about brain activity, witchcraft, shamanism, telepathy, and meditation.[1]

Jacobo tended to put his reputation as a scientist in danger when he tried to use the scientific method in shamanism studies.[4] He combined two in his professional work, always trying to understand the “magic world”.[1]

Disappearance

Since December 8, 1994, Jacobo Grinberg has been missing. On December 12th, his family prepared a party for him to celebrate his 48th birthday, but he did not show up.[1] It was common from him to make spontaneous travels or just not answer his phone for days, which is why his disappearance was not odd to his family at the beginning.[1]

The Sintergy Theory

Grinberg's sintergy theory states that there is a continuous space of energy and the common human can only perceive a part of it. The result of this process is what everyone understand as "reality". This theory is supported by quantum physics and physiology laws.[5] This theory tries to answer the question of the creation of the experience. It is based in years of brain experiments and conscience studies.[4] The book where it is mentioned, "El Cerebro Consciente", was translated into seven languages.[2]
