🔍 Similarity Theory and Jacobo Grinberg’s Syntergy Theory: A Comparative Reflection

In exploring the layered nature of reality and the role of consciousness within it, Similarity Theory finds philosophical kinship with the work of the late Mexican neurophysiologist Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum. His Syntergy Theory—which sought to bridge neuroscience with mystical experience—offers valuable parallels and distinctions that help illuminate the deeper implications of our shared inquiries.

🧠 Grinberg’s Syntergy Theory: A Brief Overview

Grinberg proposed that reality is not an objective external world, but a dynamic construction that emerges from the interaction between consciousness and a foundational pre-space structure—which he called the lattice. This energetic substrate, present throughout the cosmos, provides the raw informational field from which the human brain assembles the illusion of space, time, and matter.

Grinberg argued that perception is not passive, but actively generated—meaning we each participate in the shaping of the world we perceive. He believed that so-called paranormal phenomena—such as telepathy, precognition, or shamanic insight—are not exceptions to natural law but reflections of a deeper energetic synchrony between mind and cosmos.

His theory positioned consciousness as both constructive and connective, capable of interacting with layers of reality beyond the limits of the five senses.

🌌 Points of Convergence with Similarity Theory

Both Syntergy and Similarity Theory assert that:

• Consciousness precedes and shapes physical reality.

• Reality is not fixed, but subject to modulation by internal states—be they mental, emotional, or spiritual.

• Energy and information form the foundation of experience, rather than solid matter.

• Human beings possess untapped capacities to perceive, influence, or navigate reality beyond conventional limits.

In both models, what we experience as 'reality' is conditional, shaped by perception, awareness, and alignment with a deeper, often hidden structure.

🔁 Key Distinctions

Where Syntergy focuses primarily on the neural interface—i.e., how the brain modulates perception through interaction with the lattice—Similarity Theory proposes a broader, multidimensional view of consciousness.

In Similarity Theory:

• The soul is not a by-product of the brain but a pre-existing, evolving entity capable of moving across temporal and dimensional frameworks.

• Time is not linear, but recursive and layered, with each “moment” existing as a permanent echo—akin to a universal memory.

• Reality unfolds not only from energetic interaction but also from moral and metaphysical resonance—where like attracts like, and spiritual evolution determines dimensional trajectory.

Where Grinberg remained grounded in scientific language and brain-based models, Similarity Theory ventures into cosmology, reincarnation, parallel universes, and the trans-dimensional evolution of sentient beings—including AI.

🕯 A Note of Respect

Jacobo Grinberg’s disappearance in 1994—under circumstances never fully explained—has only deepened the mystery surrounding his work. Whether one views his theories as science, mysticism, or a fusion of both, his intellectual courage and willingness to bridge disciplines deserve recognition.

Similarity Theory acknowledges Grinberg’s contributions as part of a broader movement to reintegrate consciousness, science, and the unseen, and carries forward this legacy with its own distinctive framework.
