The Visualization Technique Jacobo Grinberg Developed Before He Disappeared — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I want to tell you something that took
- 0:01me 20 years of laboratory research to
- 0:03understand.
- 0:05Your brain is not a receiver of reality.
- 0:08It is a generator of it.
- 0:10Every sight, every sound, every
- 0:12sensation you have ever experienced was
- 0:14not the world entering your mind.
- 0:17It was your mind constructing a version
- 0:19of the world
- 0:21using incoming signals as raw material.
- 0:24This is not philosophy.
- 0:26This is basic neuroscience.
- 0:28And if that is true
- 0:30and I can assure you the evidence says
- 0:32it is
- 0:34then the question is no longer how do I
- 0:36change my life? The question becomes how
- 0:39do I change what my brain generates?
- 0:42That is exactly what this technique
- 0:44does.
- 0:45Stay with me. By the end of this you
- 0:46will not just understand it.
- 0:48You will have done it.
- 0:50Most people visualize wrong.
- 0:52And I do not say that to be harsh. I say
- 0:54it because I watched it happen in my own
- 0:56research over and over again.
- 0:59Intelligent people.
- 1:01Dedicated people. People who genuinely
- 1:03wanted to change their experience of
- 1:05life.
- 1:06They would close their eyes.
- 1:08They would imagine what they wanted.
- 1:11A house, a relationship, a feeling of
- 1:14peace.
- 1:16A version of themselves they had not yet
- 1:18become.
- 1:19They would hold that image with
- 1:20concentration and sincerity and then
- 1:23nothing would happen.
- 1:24So they would conclude that
- 1:26visualization does not work.
- 1:28Or that it works for some people but not
- 1:30for them. Or that they were doing it
- 1:32slightly wrong and needed a better
- 1:34technique.
- 1:35But the real problem was more
- 1:37fundamental than any of that.
- 1:39What they were doing was not
- 1:40visualization.
- 1:42It was daydreaming with intention.
- 1:44A mental image, no matter how vivid no
- 1:47matter how emotionally charged it seems,
- 1:49is a surface level event.
- 1:52It happens in the thinking layer of the
- 1:54mind.
- 1:55And the thinking layer, as powerful as
- 1:57it feels from the inside, does not have
- 1:59direct access to the deeper systems that
- 2:02actually shape your neurological output,
- 2:05and therefore your experienced reality.
- 2:07True visualization,
- 2:09the kind that produces measurable
- 2:11changes in brain coherence and in real
- 2:13world outcomes, operates through an
- 2:16entirely different pathway.
- 2:18To understand that pathway,
- 2:21you need to understand something I spent
- 2:23the better part of my scientific career
- 2:25investigating.
- 2:27I called it the neuronal field.
- 2:29Every brain generates a field, not
- 2:31metaphorically,
- 2:33physically.
- 2:34A measurable electromagnetic field that
- 2:36extends beyond the boundaries of the
- 2:38skull, beyond the skin, into the space
- 2:40around you.
- 2:42In my laboratory at the National
- 2:43Autonomous University of Mexico, I
- 2:46designed a series of experiments to
- 2:48study what happens to these fields when
- 2:49two people interact. What I found
- 2:52consistently across hundreds of sessions
- 2:55was something that conventional
- 2:56neuroscience had no framework to
- 2:58explain.
- 2:59When two people enter a state of deep,
- 3:02genuine connection, not forced, not
- 3:05performed, but real, their brain waves
- 3:08begin to synchronize.
- 3:10Their neuronal fields begin to resonate
- 3:12with each other. And at the peak of that
- 3:14synchronization, something extraordinary
- 3:17occurs.
- 3:18A stimulus applied to one person, with
- 3:21no physical connection to the other,
- 3:23produces a measurable neurological
- 3:25response in both. The fields were
- 3:27communicating.
- 3:29I call this phenomenon syntropy.
- 3:32The merging of two neuronal fields into
- 3:35a shared space of experience. But the
- 3:38implications went further than
- 3:39interpersonal connection. If the
- 3:42neuronal field can interact with another
- 3:44person's field across space,
- 3:47what else can it interact with? My
- 3:50research, and the work of the shamans
- 3:52and healers I studied alongside in
- 3:55Mexico and throughout Latin America
- 3:57pointed to the same answer.
- 4:00The neuronal field interacts with what I
- 4:01call the pre-space-time matrix, the
- 4:04underlying structure from which physical
- 4:06reality emerges.
- 4:07In simpler terms, your brain's field is
- 4:10not just receiving the world. It is in
- 4:12constant active negotiation with it. And
- 4:15here is what determines the outcome of
- 4:17that negotiation.
- 4:19Coherence.
- 4:20A coherent neuronal field is one where
- 4:23the different regions of the brain are
- 4:24working in harmony, generating waves
- 4:27that reinforce rather than cancel each
- 4:29other.
- 4:30An incoherent neuronal field is one
- 4:32where those regions are working in
- 4:33opposition.
- 4:34Generating noise, interference, static.
- 4:37Most people, most of the time, uh
- 4:40operating in a state of neuronal
- 4:42incoherence.
- 4:43Not because they are broken.
- 4:45Because the conditions of modern life,
- 4:48constant stimulation, unresolved stress,
- 4:51fragmented attention, the relentless
- 4:53narration of the thinking mind, are
- 4:55precisely the conditions that produce
- 4:57incoherence.
- 4:59And here is the consequence that matters
- 5:01for everything we are about to do.
- 5:04A coherent neuronal field propagates.
- 5:07It extends outward with clarity and
- 5:09force. It interacts with the
- 5:11pre-space-time matrix in a way that
- 5:13begins to shape emerging experience.
- 5:17An incoherent neuronal field collapses
- 5:19in one.
- 5:21Whatever you try to generate,
- 5:23whatever you try to visualize, stays
- 5:25trapped inside the noise.
- 5:27It never reaches the level where it can
- 5:29influence anything beyond your own
- 5:31internal weather.
- 5:32This is why most visualization fails.
- 5:35It is not that the person lacks desire
- 5:37or belief or practice.
- 5:39It is that they are transmitting through
- 5:41a fragmented field. The signal never
- 5:43gets out. So, before we can do anything
- 5:46with visualization, before we place a
- 5:49single image or feeling into the field,
- 5:52we must first achieve coherence.
- 5:55And the doorway to coherence is not the
- 5:56mind.
- 5:58It is the body.
- 5:59I want you to set everything aside now
- 6:02and follow this with me.
- 6:04Find a position where your body can be
- 6:05completely still.
- 6:07Sitting is ideal, spine upright, not
- 6:10rigid.
- 6:11Feet flat on the floor if you can.
- 6:14Hands resting open on your thighs.
- 6:16Close your eyes.
- 6:18Now,
- 6:19and this first instruction is the most
- 6:21important thing I will say today. Do not
- 6:23try to quiet your mind. That is a battle
- 6:26you cannot win, and the attempt itself
- 6:28generates the very incoherence we are
- 6:30trying to dissolve. Every time you
- 6:32resist a thought, you feed it.
- 6:35Every time you tell yourself to stop
- 6:37thinking, you create another thought.
- 6:40Instead, I want you to do something
- 6:41entirely different.
- 6:43Become aware of your body as a whole.
- 6:45Not one part.
- 6:47Not your breath alone.
- 6:49Not your heartbeat alone.
- 6:51Not the sensation in your hands or the
- 6:53weight of your legs.
- 6:55The entire body simultaneously as one
- 6:58unified field of sensation. I call this
- 7:01totalidad
- 7:03totality.
- 7:04The direct, non-conceptual experience of
- 7:07the body not as a collection of separate
- 7:10parts, but as a single coherent living
- 7:12presence.
- 7:14This is harder than it sounds and
- 7:15simpler than you think.
- 7:17You do not need to feel anything
- 7:19dramatic.
- 7:20You do not need to feel energy or heat
- 7:23or tingling.
- 7:25You simply need to hold the whole body
- 7:26in awareness at once.
- 7:29The way you might take in an entire
- 7:31landscape with a single glance rather
- 7:34than scanning it piece by piece. Let the
- 7:36thoughts exist. They will.
- 7:39Do not follow them and do not fight
- 7:41them.
- 7:42Let them pass through the periphery of
- 7:44awareness like sounds from another room.
- 7:47Present but not compelling.
- 7:49Your attention stays with the totality
- 7:50of the body.
- 7:52Take the next 45 seconds and simply do
- 7:54this.
- 7:55Good.
- 7:56If you felt even a fraction of that
- 7:57stillness,
- 7:58that settling, that sense of the body
- 8:00becoming more real than the thoughts,
- 8:02that is neuronal coherence beginning to
- 8:04form.
- 8:06Your brain just changed its baseline
- 8:07operating state.
- 8:09Now I want to deepen it. In my research,
- 8:12I identified that there is a specific
- 8:14quality of awareness that corresponds to
- 8:16peak neuronal coherence.
- 8:18I called it inner silence.
- 8:21And I want to be precise about what that
- 8:23means because it is widely
- 8:25misunderstood.
- 8:28Inner silence is not the absence of
- 8:30thought.
- 8:31It is the presence of awareness without
- 8:34the compulsive identification with
- 8:35thought.
- 8:36The difference is everything.
- 8:38When you are identified with your
- 8:40thoughts, when you believe you are the
- 8:42voice in your head, your awareness is
- 8:44trapped at the surface level of mind.
- 8:48And at that level, the neuronal field
- 8:50cannot achieve the depth of coherence
- 8:52required for what we are about to do.
- 8:54When you rest in awareness itself, when
- 8:57you notice thoughts without becoming
- 8:58them, something remarkable happens
- 9:00neurologically.
- 9:02The default mode network, which is
- 9:04responsible for the constant
- 9:05self-referential narrative of the mind,
- 9:08begins to quiet.
- 9:10The deeper integrative networks of the
- 9:12brain come online.
- 9:14Coherence increases measurably. So right
- 9:17now with your eyes still closed and your
- 9:19awareness still resting on the totality
- 9:21of the body,
- 9:22I want you to notice the awareness
- 9:24itself.
- 9:25Not what you are aware of.
- 9:27The awareness itself.
- 9:29It has no location. It has no shape.
- 9:33It is simply the open clear space in
- 9:35which all experience, sensation,
- 9:39thought, sound arises and passes.
- 9:42Rest there.
- 9:44Not as a concept,
- 9:45as a direct experience.
- 9:51What you are resting in right now is the
- 9:53foundation that makes everything else
- 9:55possible.
- 9:56This is the state from which my
- 9:58technique operates.
- 9:59Not from mental effort,
- 10:02not from concentrated imagination,
- 10:05from here.
- 10:07This open, coherent, embodied stillness.
- 10:12Now we build. Most visualization
- 10:14techniques ask you to create an image
- 10:16and observe it,
- 10:18as if you were watching a film of your
- 10:19desired reality on an internal screen.
- 10:22My technique asks something
- 10:23fundamentally different.
- 10:25You do not watch the scene.
- 10:27You inhabit it.
- 10:29And the difference between watching and
- 10:30inhabiting is the difference between a
- 10:32thought and a neurological event.
- 10:35Here is what I mean.
- 10:36In this state of coherence, in this
- 10:38open, embodied awareness, I want you to
- 10:42identify one specific reality you want
- 10:44to experience.
- 10:46Not a general desire, not a vague
- 10:49improvement.
- 10:50Something precise.
- 10:53Something your nervous system can
- 10:55generate with full sensory detail. Not I
- 10:57want more abundance.
- 11:00Something like, I am having a
- 11:01conversation with someone I deeply
- 11:03respect and they are recognizing the
- 11:05value of my work.
- 11:07Not I want to feel healthier.
- 11:10Something like,
- 11:12I am waking up in the morning and my
- 11:14body feels light, clear, and completely
- 11:16at ease.
- 11:18One scene.
- 11:19Specific, real, close enough to feel.
- 11:21Now, enter it. Not as an observer. Step
- 11:24through the door and stand inside the
- 11:26scene.
- 11:28Feel the floor beneath your feet, or the
- 11:30ground,
- 11:31or the chair, whatever you are in this
- 11:33imagined moment.
- 11:36Feel the temperature of the air around
- 11:38you. Feel the quality of light on your
- 11:40skin.
- 11:41And most critically, feel the specific
- 11:43sensation in your chest,
- 11:45in your body,
- 11:47that is present when you are living this
- 11:48reality.
- 11:50This is the key that unlocks the entire
- 11:52technique.
- 11:53The neuronal field does not respond to
- 11:55images.
- 11:57Images are processed by the visual
- 11:59cortex and interpreted by the thinking
- 12:01mind, both surface level systems.
- 12:04The neuronal field responds to felt
- 12:06states, to the actual embodied present
- 12:10moment experience of emotion and
- 12:12sensation. When you inhabit your
- 12:15visualization,
- 12:16when your body generates the actual
- 12:18neurological signature of the desired
- 12:21experience,
- 12:22you are not imagining a future.
- 12:25You are creating a present moment
- 12:27neurological event.
- 12:29And that event propagates through your
- 12:31field.
- 12:32It enters into the interaction with the
- 12:33pre-space-time matrix from which your
- 12:36experience of reality emerges.
- 12:38This is not mysticism. This is the
- 12:40logical conclusion of everything I found
- 12:42in 20 years of research.
- 12:44Stay in the scene now.
- 12:46Feel it fully.
- 12:47Let the emotion be real, not performed,
- 12:50not forced.
- 12:51Simply allow it to be present, the way
- 12:54any genuine feeling is present. Stay.
- 12:57Do not analyze whether it is working.
- 13:00The moment you step outside the
- 13:02experience to evaluate it,
- 13:04you break the state.
- 13:06You return to the thinking layer.
- 13:09The coherence collapses.
- 13:11Trust the state. Stay embodied. Stay in
- 13:13the scene.
- 13:15Feel the reality of it, not as something
- 13:17that will happen,
- 13:19as something that is happening
- 13:21in this moment in your neuronal field,
- 13:24in the structure of what your brain is
- 13:26generating right now. Now, and do this
- 13:29gently without force, let the scene
- 13:31dissolve.
- 13:32Do not hold on to it.
- 13:34Do not replay it.
- 13:36Do not check whether you did it
- 13:37correctly.
- 13:39Simply release it the way you would
- 13:40release a breath you have been holding
- 13:42without realizing it.
- 13:44Let it go completely.
- 13:46This step is not optional.
- 13:48It is not a spiritual nicety. It is the
- 13:50mechanical completion of the process.
- 13:53Think of the neuronal field as a signal
- 13:55being transmitted.
- 13:57When the signal is clear, coherent, and
- 13:59then released, it propagates with
- 14:02maximum range and integrity. It reaches
- 14:04the level of reality where it can begin
- 14:06to restructure emerging experience.
- 14:09When you grip the signal, when you
- 14:11repeat the visualization compulsively,
- 14:13or monitor obsessively for results, or
- 14:16oscillate between belief and doubt, you
- 14:18are generating interference.
- 14:20You are jamming your own transmission.
- 14:23The release is an act of decision, not
- 14:26passivity.
- 14:28It says,
- 14:29"The transmission is complete. I have
- 14:31done what I came here to do. The field
- 14:33does the rest."
- 14:35Take a slow, full breath now.
- 14:37And as you exhale, release everything.
- 14:40The scene, the feeling, the desire, the
- 14:42outcome.
- 14:43All of it. Return to the simple
- 14:45awareness of the body as a whole.
- 14:48Totally that again.
- 14:51The unified, coherent, living presence
- 14:53of your physical form.
- 14:55One more breath.
- 14:57And when you are ready,
- 14:59open your eyes. What you just did is not
- 15:01a meditation practice. It is not a
- 15:03manifestation ritual.
- 15:05It is a neurological event.
- 15:07You achieved a state of coherence that
- 15:09most people's brains rarely access
- 15:12outside of deep sleep.
- 15:14You imprinted a specific felt state into
- 15:16your neuronal field at the moment of
- 15:18peak coherence.
- 15:20And you released that imprint cleanly
- 15:22without interference.
- 15:24The work is done.
- 15:25Not only must you genuinely depend
- 15:27should not
- 15:28What I can tell you from the data, from
- 15:31the hundreds of documented cases I
- 15:33observed, from the healers whose
- 15:35neurological profiles I spent years
- 15:37studying,
- 15:38is that when this process is practiced
- 15:40consistently, the external world begins
- 15:43to reorganize around the internal state.
- 15:45Not in dramatic overnight
- 15:47transformations.
- 15:49In the subtle, compounding way that
- 15:51reality always moves.
- 15:53One perception at a time, one
- 15:55interaction at a time, one moment of
- 15:57unexpected resonance at a time.
- 16:00Practice this once a day.
- 16:02Not for an hour.
- 16:0410 minutes. 12 minutes. The depth of the
- 16:07state matters infinitely more than the
- 16:08duration. A 10-minute session at genuine
- 16:11coherence will produce more than an hour
- 16:13of effort without it.
- 16:1521 consecutive days. That is what I ask.
- 16:18Not because 21 is a magic number,
- 16:20because real neurological change
- 16:22requires repetition.
- 16:25You are not just generating a single
- 16:26experience.
- 16:28You are establishing a new baseline for
- 16:30what your brain generates, and therefore
- 16:32for what you experience as your reality.
- 16:35Perception shapes experience. Experience
- 16:37shapes reality. That is not a belief.
- 16:40That is the
- 16:42conclusion of my life's work.
- 16:45And it isn't the technique I want to
- 16:47leave with you.
