The work is written in a language accessible to most educated people (it is not
necessary to be a specialist), consists of an original, deep, and reflective perspective
of all aspects of human life in light of the paradigm
quantum/chaos/order.

In general, as a whole, THE INTELLIGENT BODY is a book that


it deals with the history of consciousness, knowledge, the human body and the
image of Man from our ancestors to our days, framed
in the conception of the Universe according to each era.

In the work, one can appreciate: a deconstruction of the Cartesian paradigm-


Newtonian and its implications for individual and social behavior, biology,
medicine, sexuality, the woman/man relationships..., their manifestations and
repercussions in the economy and politics; as well as the implications of the new
quantum paradigm/chaos/order in our relationship with our body
intelligent, work that has been done so far taking for it
only between 1 and 4 of the 26 epistemological principles of this paradigm and, that in

of the global interrelationship of all of them.

The Universe flows; constant transformation of all things like sand

This book is a great opportunity and a unique occasion to explore the

In the first chapter, it takes us on a historical tour of the general way of


to conceive ourselves and to conceive the world in the West. How from a consciousness
corporate-vital, organic and integrated we go through the historical process
called Industrial Revolution, to be machines or clocks. How, already before the
Middle Ages, we had been instilled with the idea that we are something different from
our bodies; which, moreover, should not be considered either reliable or
virtuoso, not good, by itself. And now, moreover, composed of parts.

in the last century so many lobotomies were performed. But regardless of how our
the body is our presence in the world, when we were condemned to repress it,
they repressed what we are and, when they convinced us that we were clocks or
machines, in a collective, we began to behave like such and we lost
a lot of the human warmth that used to shelter us.
This dramatic transformation of the mother ideas and its impact on our
lives, is brilliantly analyzed from an epistemological perspective,
historical and social; as well as its consequences on the collective and individual.

In the second chapter, a thorough exploration of what a superparadigm is takes place.


superparadigms are built as bodies of ideas that self-validate and
that can justify what the purest human sensitivity would not accept
never. By the way, sensitivity has been so forbidden since Bacon that
even a genius like Kant had to call it Pure Practical Reason, in order to
to conclude with the Categorical Imperative that, if looked at closely, is a way of
to describe what we Legos call sensitivity, humanity, kindness.

Newtonian physics, of course, remains applicable in the macrocosm,


in particular regarding objects in motion or appearing

epistemological principles are invalid in fields like psychology and
biology; principles that have become prejudices, which have distorted the
nature of life and of man and that, as we will see, have become in
beliefs mother at the service of power for domination, manipulation, control
and economic benefit of a small group of individuals.

For about 70 years, researchers in the field of quantum physics have


made surprising discoveries about the nature of the Universe. Without
embargo, during all this time, few researchers have been
daring to inquire and delve into its implications both in itself

CHAPTER ONE
OF THE MECHANICAL BODY
TO THE INTELLIGENT BODY

At the beginning of the 21st century, most Western doctors continue


considering that the body is similar to a machine that gets damaged due to
external factors such as accidents or the wear and tear of a part. Just like if
If we were a car, the treatments consist of adding some substance.

bodies, replace one part with another when possible or remove that which is
considered irreparable.

Although the Quantum Revolution began in the early last century


with the ideas of Max Planck and Albert Einstein; that the findings in the field
Quantum physics has been suggesting that the Universe is a Great
Intelligence and all the accumulated evidence that the body is not a simple
machine that works who knows thanks to what, so the majority of the
scientists, like the common people, still think that our body is
living matter lacking intelligence and, therefore, we must use our
intelligence and reason to prolong life and keep it healthy.

Most medical histories continue to leave out lapsyche.


human and when someone heals by their own means from an illness
considered incurable instead of investigating the why and how it was made the
a person to achieve health, it is simply said that there was some error of
diagnosis or there was a spontaneous remission.

In the last 400-500 years, Humanity evolved from a consciousness


predominantly organic corporal to a corporal consciousness
predominantly mechanical, which, on one hand, due to its shortcomings
and, on the other hand, due to new scientific findings, it is being replaced by the
notion of an "intelligent" bodily awareness.

The evolution towards mechanistic body awareness and its permeability in


society took several centuries and it was due not only to the influence of the Revolution
Scientific, but also to a series of philosophical, epistemological factors,
religious, economic, and political, which together promised a better world.

But the promise of a better world has not only been broken, but in
the last 100 years, we have lived a century of terror, of self-deception, of
dormancy of our consciousness and passivity.
Often many authors at the beginning of their works have said that we have
achieved great technological advances, but that we have been unable to achieve
a healthy coexistence, overcoming the great problems of Humanity,
to feel psychologically safe and free from anxiety and stress, factors that
they are a constant in most causes of death.

In large part, the reason we do not overcome our most pressing problems is
it is due to the fact that we have more technicians than scientists. We invest more money in
technology to destroy supposed "enemies", maintain political repression and
to lull the consciousness rather than seek a way to awaken it and teach forms
to develop it.

There are great differences between scientists and technicians, but many...
People tend to confuse one with the other. Zukav establishes the difference.

on the contrary, it is a person who seeks to know the true nature of the
physical reality. It deals with and of the unknown” (Zukav, 1991, p. 33).

And certainly universities and all formal education tend more


towards the utilitarian training of technicians rather than scientists. We graduate technicians
with masks of scientists who during their training are shaped under
a narrow mechanistic thought centered on utility, profits and
a supposed effectiveness.

In most universities, new ideas are seen with


distrust, especially if they deviate from the mechanistic paradigm. It is not taught
to think broadly nor are the epistemological tools provided
necessary to have valid criteria to evaluate and question the theories,
just as it is not taught how to seek alternatives of thought. Whole
new idea that steps out of the mechanical world is considered heresy. When the
students ask why they are told not to waste their time on something
Hello and that the only important thing is the how.
CHAPTER 2
EPISTEMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF
THE SUPERPARADIGMS
CARTESIAN-NEWTONIAN AND
QUANTUM

The world we have created as a result of our thinking


until today it has problems that cannot be resolved if we continue
thinking in the way we thought when we created it.

Albert Einstein, in The Price of Excellence.

people closest to us as we grow. But those beliefs that
aprendemos desde niños a través de nuestros padres, la escuela, la iglesia, los
Doctors… derive from "mother beliefs" or religious super paradigms and
scientists.

Superparadigms always reflect some assumptions that are difficult


verification, but that make sense, offer a logical explanation and are
they are deduced from the synthesis of a large number of experiences and knowledge.

Thinking about the existence of God and the Universe as His creation, for
example, it is not something irrational and crazy, for in front of the wonders in which
we live, its organization and complexity, among the few options we have
to think about how all this can be, we tend to think about the
existence of a Higher Being. Even the very mechanistic thesis of the Big Bang
as the beginning of the material world always leads us to think that there must be
Something behind or at the background of or in the Universe.

A first principle or assumption such as that God created the Universe and that
we are creatures made in his image and likeness, he provides us with a
a series of conjectures about our body very different from those of the Universe
surgió de un Big Bang, que Dios no existe, que el universo es una inmensa
machine and that our bodies are machines or stupid automatons. It is
therefore it is so important to be clear about which superparadigm the
epistemological or cognitive principles on the basis of which we construct
our knowledge about the body.

Alongside those primordial assumptions that are difficult to verify, arise


other beliefs derived mainly from observation and experience
of the reiterations that surround us. Based on those reiterations
we build patterns and behavior guidelines through which we generate
instructions to know, develop knowledge and manage ourselves in the
world, generally overlooking the unexpected, the uncertainty, the
exceptions, irregularities, chaos...

A superparadigm is typically built upon what is expected, the synthesis of


the experiences and observations, the knowledge of the moment and the
Categorization that is usually done, constituting or reflecting the aspect
ideological of the social, economic, and political process of the time, that is to say, a
Superparadigm is a system of thought that has been adapted to the
current circumstances.

In science, a superparadigm is usually established as a kind of


manual or recipe for cooking to know and act.

I say 'cooking recipe' very deliberately, because just like someone

CHAPTER 3
THE GREAT CONSCIOUSNESS

As a man who has dedicated his entire life to the most lucid science, to the study of the
matter, I can tell you the following, as a result of my research regarding the
atoms: Matter does not exist as such! All matter originates and exists solely in
the virtue of a force that makes the particles of an atom vibrate and keeps it together

We are an integral part of the Great Consciousness

José Del Grosso

Consciousness is something we experience in many ways, but that by


we can only vaguely define its nature through our means.
We have not achieved a sufficiently good abstraction that allows us to
saying this is consciousness; and that, in part, because we have become accustomed to a
scientific thinking that deals with discrete, visible objects, made up of
supposedly independent parts...; while consciousness is displayed
as something holistic, indivisible, invisible, and that permeates everything. But the reason
more important reason why we have not been able to adequately define what is the
consciousness is that we are/being consciousness and we cannot step out of it to
to observe it, for we look from it, from the inside. It is as if the eye
he will try to look inside himself.

When we talk about consciousness, we often make the mistake of saying that the
Consciousness only exists in humans, which is something discrete and discontinuous,
that is located in the brain and, more recently, it is often stated that it is
product of the physicochemical activity of the neurons.

In reality, we are/being by, in, with, and through the Great Consciousness or, the
what is the same, The Creative/The Created, the Universe, the Atman, the Tao... We are
well, an integral and indivisible part of the Great Consciousness.
In flowing with Consciousness, we do not experience an inside or an outside, but rather a
continuity with the Whole. When we use the right cerebral hemisphere,
we silenced the left, closed our eyes and did not allow thoughts
don't distract us, we immerse ourselves in the entirety of the body, even beyond
he, without us finding any boundary.
CHAPTER 4
LIFE
Everything is essentially consciousness, purity, and joy.

Shankara

Everything that exists emanates from one and the same source.

José Del Grosso

...our thought, in its purely logical form, is incapable of representing itself


true nature of life, the deep significance of the evolutionary movement.

Henri Bergson

Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

Theodosius Dobzhansky

There is no such thing as living things and inanimate things. Everything is alive. The Universe
It's life both in what I've called folded chaos/order and in what I've
called chaos/order deployed, as well as in what I have called
consciousness/energy/matter/active information folded and unfolded, as it
deployed preserves the essence of the folded and its multiple dimensions in
a continuous unit, without divisions or fragmentations.

Life and evolution are inseparable. One cannot be conceived without the other.
they are an indivisible aspect of the holomovement that permeates all That is Created and the
Creative.

Life can be considered as the fabric of active energy/information


What is the Universe in perpetual motion, change, evolution.

The word evolution comes from the Latin evolutio. It refers to the action and
effect of evolving, that is, the action of unfolding, developing, passing
from one state to another… It involves a process of change or transformation of a
thing, from a state, a situation, an idea... It implicitly carries the notion of
movement.

The Latin verb evolvere translates to expand, unfold. The Latin word
evolve is made up of the particle ex, outward and volere, which translates to
to unfold; therefore, we can define evolution as the unfolding or
expansive movement of Life.

Evolution implies movement and movement does not only refer to


displacement of an object and its quantitative aspects, but also to its
qualities, to internal and external changes and transformations, to the form, to
relationships, active information, contexts, chaos/order, balance and
the imbalance...

The most basic substrate of the Universe is the holomovement, a movement


eternal which implies that everything that is/being is in constant transformation,
That is to say, nothing is finished, completed, but everything, thanks to the continuum
chaos/order, evolves towards more complex configurations, that is, that
expands, which acquires greater complexity developing outward and over
itself, just like fractals do. The above means that not only
not only do the beings we usually call living beings evolve, but also the galaxies,
stars, our Mother Earth, the rivers, the rocks, the seas...

dance of changing forms. It is creativity itself changing
incessantly their movements, rhythm, tone, intensity, depth,
set, costumes, characters... At a given moment it takes a shape to
subsequently adopt another...

Like a great river, reality flows, being formed and informed. It is about
images in action and not of ideas, for ideas are merely a vain attempt to
to catch forever a moment of the dance of forms. That is why it
it makes it impossible for us to define it; that is why millions of words have been written
About reality, thousands of books, and no one has been able to say what it is.

Moreover, we are/being by, with, in, and through reality, we live it,
we experience. Like blood, it circulates through veins and arteries throughout our

caressed by her, but like the wind, she barely comforts us and we try to
