Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum
Jacobo Grinberg was born on December 12, 1946 in Mexico City, in a family of immigrants who had escaped from anti-Semitic persecutions in Eastern Europe. He studied psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a PhD in Neuroscience at New York University. Jacobo Grinberg is one of the most challenging Mexicans of the second half of the 20th century. He chose the human brain as his research topic and set out to answer the question of where experience comes from, that is, how reality is constructed in the mind. This answer led him to formulate the synergetic theory (synergy, a neologism derived from synthesis and energy), which will be discussed later. Grinberg was a man of science, obsessed with objective and timely measurements, experiments, and laboratory verifications. However, this obsession did not prevent him from crossing borders: he met and disseminated the supposed gifts of indigenous shamans like Pachita, who performed organ transplants with a bush knife. He took mystical schools seriously, especially Jewish Kabbalah and Tibetan Buddhism; he studied and practiced meditation and yoga. His intellectual interests were recorded in more than 50 books. He was a prolific author who wrote scientific texts, stories, novels, and an autobiography. In December 1994 Jacobo Grinberg disappeared. He was never located and the authorities did not obtain further clues about his whereabouts or the possible perpetrators of his kidnapping. His sudden absence initially led to a period of oblivion. Grinberg was not well regarded by the scientific community of his time and for years had endured accusations of charlatanism and lack of scientific rigor. Over time, however, a public willing to consider Dr. Grinberg's proposals has formed. Those who venture to read his books will find a bold author, a scientist who crossed borders, and above all, a human being who sought freedom in every written word.
