Overview
En Misticismo indígena Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum continúa con el estudio de la vida y el pensamiento de diversos chamanes mexicanos que han desarrollado la capacidad de percibir e influir en la conciencia colectiva de México: lo que el autor denomina el “hipercampo”.
A través de encuentros, conversaciones y trabajo de campo, Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum documenta las formas de vida, procesos de iniciación, técnicas de curación, ceremonias, estados de percepción ampliada y concepciones de la realidad compartidas por estos hombres y mujeres sabios. Chamanes como don Panchito de Yucatán, los graniceros de Morelos o doña Josefina de Oaxaca revelan una comprensión de fenómenos como el “mal aire”, el susto, la adivinación o la curación a distancia. Prácticas que, en estas páginas, son estudiadas y explicadas a través de la teoría sintérgica y conceptos abordados en otras obras del autor como el campo neuronal y la interacción entre mente y espacio.
El resultado es una propuesta original que abre un diálogo entre tradición indígena y el pensamiento científico de Grinberg-Zylberbaum, y ofrece claves concretas para comprender a profundidad el chamanismo en México.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“THE PHYSICAL CORRELATE OF MEXICO’S LIVING CONSCIOUSNESS IS A HYPERFIELD RESULTING FROM ALL THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN OUR BRAINS. IT IS THE INDIGENOUS MYSTICS WHO ARE ABLE TO DETECT IT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND DETERMINE ITS FLOW AND THE DIRECTION OF ITS EFFECTS.” - J. G. Z.
In Indigenous Mysticism Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum continues his study of the lives and thought of various Mexican shamans who have developed the ability to perceive and influence Mexico’s collective consciousness: what the author calls the “hyperfield.”
Through encounters, conversations, and fieldwork, Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum documents the ways of life, initiation processes, healing techniques, ceremonies, states of expanded perception, and conceptions of reality shared by these wise men and women. Shamans such as Don Panchito of Yucatán, the graniceros of Morelos, or Doña Josefina of Oaxaca reveal an understanding of phenomena such as “bad air,” the “susto”, divination, or distant healing. Practices that, in these pages, are studied and explained through the synergetic theory and concepts addressed in the author’s other works, such as the neural field and the interaction between mind and space.
The result is an original proposal that opens a dialogue between indigenous tradition and Grinberg-Zylberbaum’s scientific thought and offers concrete keys to a deeper understanding of shamanism in Mexico.
