Best quote from Jacobo Grinberg and the Mystery of the Lattice
Reality is the 'click' that happens when your personal neuronal field meets the universal lattice; your brain decodes that interaction into what you see, hear, and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Syntergic Theory is a framework developed by Dr. Jacobo Grinberg which suggests that the universe is filled with a hyper-complex, invisible fabric of information and energy called the "lattice." According to this theory, our brains do not just passively perceive reality; instead, they generate a "neuronal field" that interacts with this universal lattice. Reality is the "interference pattern" or the "click" that occurs when our personal neuronal field meets the universal matrix, decoding that information into the objects and experiences we perceive.
Pachita, born Bárbara Guerrero, was a legendary Mexican healer known for performing "psychic surgery." Dr. Grinberg spent years observing her as she appeared to perform complex operations using only a rusty hunting knife and no anesthesia, seemingly materializing healthy organs to replace diseased ones. Grinberg used his Syntergic Theory to explain her abilities, hypothesizing that her brain operated at such a high level of "coherence" that she could directly manipulate the informational code of the lattice to change physical reality.
This was a controlled laboratory study designed to prove that human brains can be "entangled" and share information non-locally. Dr. Grinberg placed two people who had meditated together into separate Faraday cages, which blocked all electromagnetic signals. When one person (the sender) was shown flashes of light, the other person (the receiver) often showed a corresponding neural spike in their brain activity at the exact same millisecond, despite being in total darkness and isolation. Grinberg argued this proved that human consciousness can couple across space through the universal lattice.
Dr. Grinberg vanished on December 8, 1994, and several theories have emerged to explain his disappearance. Some believe he was kidnapped or recruited by intelligence agencies like the CIA or FBI due to his advanced research into telepathy and "Project Stargate." Others suggest he may have been targeted for his political support of the Zapatista movement, while some followers hold a more mystical view, believing he successfully "transcended" or de-materialized into the lattice itself. To this day, no body has been found and no official closure has been reached.
Grinberg’s ideas are often compared to the "Orch-OR" model of consciousness proposed by Sir Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff, which suggests that consciousness arises from quantum processes within the brain's microtubules. Modern researchers view his "lattice" as a proto-version of the quantum field and continue to use updated EEG equipment to try and replicate his "transferred potential" experiments. His work serves as a bridge between hard neuroscience, quantum physics, and ancient shamanic wisdom.
