PREFACE

This book talks about the end of an era and the sighting of the
borders of a new one. A new era that is not an invention proposed by
the authors, by contrast, it arises from signals looking at the cultural
present which we live currently in our planet. In fact, today there is a
generalized awareness that arises and extends from seeing and
feeling the pain and suffering we brought forth in the human and
natural world that we live. Conscious that arises with a great force
because it sees us generating and conserving the discomfort that
traps us.

The richness of this book lies that shows us how we are, how we have
been, how we have entangled ourselves into cultural-historical and
personal happening, and how we can liberate ourselves from the
personal and the historical drift we have lived as humanity.

And in so doing, in a deep reflexive invitation that resounds in our

daily life, always making it in a way that in the reading allows to verify
that all the things we distinguish, deal with each one of us, returning
the possibility of responsibility for the world that one generates with
the own living and living together, so from there, in the conservation
of a ethical doing, returning the possibility to be free.

This book reaches a special importance in two fundamental ambits. It

is relevant in the social space because brings forth science in
collecting various essays composing it, fundamental distinctions on
humanness in terms of both biological and cultural, in a way that
invites us to see in the various dimensions of living and daily
coexistence the consequences of this understanding about how we
are as human and living beings.

On the other hand is important in the space of the endeavor of

Matriztic Institute co founded by the authors, after eight years of
reflection, research and practice, the first book published by the
institution and that reveal a story that interlace the art and science of
living and living together, as a operative-reflective work that has its
basis in the biological cultural explanation of the human existence
which this book in various dimensions and in a rigorous and extensive
manner reveals.

In the essay “The psychic eras of Humanity” is projected with great

reflexive power the invitation that it makes us consider a view on our
history of cultural transformations from the happening in our spaces
or emotional dynamic and of inner relational feelings that guide such
transformations in a sense or another. An historic evocation which we
live as valid from the experience of our own individual stories in which
such transformations may occur in the conservation of our relational
feelings, configuring the different psychic niches that in fact we live in
our existence.

In this essay we recognize ourselves as a human community from our

personal locality understanding that it is in this systemic interplay
between our individual and social condition in where remains the
genesis of the cultural and social transformations that we have lived
and we live in our present.
It is not make a linear historic inspection but to understand the
circularity of our human and cosmic existence through a gaze that
leads us, in ultimately, to ask ourselves what we want to conserve in
our living, aware that everything can change around it.

The essay; Biology of Tao: The Path of Love is a exceptional work

where science and the mystical experience without any dogma
embrace each other in a reflective act whose power lies in show the
unspeakable (Tao) as something basic of our daily human experience,
to show from the coherence of the daily living in the experiences of
living that intersect to explain living.
And in doing so, it brings about both the cultural origin of all pain and
suffering as the output to these, through the reflective detachment
which constitutes the path of Love in the Biology of Love.
In addition in this text resonates the cultural transition that we are
living in our planet to see cultural differences as different
orientations of our living guided by our feelings and by how we live
our living.

Invites, thus, to release the certainty of wanting transcendence over

living in the blindness of not seeing that we do not see, believing that
what we see is what it is. And to find ourselves that the meaning of
our living is a not being of all being in the doing that at each moment
happens.

The essay on the systemic and meta-systemic Laws constitutes an

impressive recursive systemic abstraction of the regularities and
experiential coherence of our living and living together, whose
presence is verifiable in each area of the cosmos as well as emerges
as an expansion of the bodyhood and human habitat.
Whether the constitution of a country is formed by the fundamental
abstractions that guide the purposes of coexistence and the common-
project that guide the drift of a national community, the systemic and
meta-systemic Laws, are formed by the fundamental abstractions of
living and living together that can help to guide the manner of living
involved in the invitation to the understanding of the biological-
cultural basis of humanness.
Therefore, is a founding idea in relation to the ability of generate an
epistemological and operational platform at a planetary level from
where it would be possible a social unity praxis in a human scale if it
so we.
Then we faced a essay, Reflections on therapy and my conversations
with Ximena Davila on the release of the cultural pain, that it invites
people honestly interested in human pain to consider through
reflection, that the chore of the liberating conversation reveals to an
observer the relational and operational dynamics that in fact are at
stake in the several conversations aimed at healing or dissolution of
the pain and suffering. And this invitation is not naive, although
requires candor to be heard: it is in the Biology of Love where we
must find the answer, Biology of Love that millions of years has
accompanied us in our human habitat, emerging as the fundamental
basis for our human and natural ecological dynamic architecture.
From there its healer and liberating power.

The essay on the Biological Matrix Cultural of human existence and

Liberating Conversations, reaches a depth that dance between the
daily life and our historic configuration as the kind of beings we are,
inviting us to recognize that we live in a cultural present in which the
questions we do ourselves are not trivial neither the courses we
choose to search the answers. It invites us to realize ourselves that all
pain for which one requests relational help; it is always from cultural
origin. And poses a reflection from the happening of pain that can
release us of the cultural traps which we live if we realize that our
living is intertwined with the cosmos we live, in finding ourselves in
respect for ourselves, and for another, from accepting the legitimacy
of any spontaneously happening of our human existence and of
course that it remains focused on our wishes, desires and
preferences, such as operational relational dynamics which opens or
expands the individual well-being in our living and living together.
Invites us, ultimately, to realize that what is at stake is the biological-
cultural manner of living development in our sons and daughters and
sons and daughters of them, in the emergence of a natural ethical
lineage in the emergence of a ethical natural lineage guiding us to a
new co-inspirative and collaborative era

Finally, in the essay Closed Dynamic Systems we see a rigorous

reflection on our dynamical architecture as living beings and from our
condition as observers in observing isn’t trivial from where we look
and understand the biological phenomena and their generative
relationship of the relational feeling that in living and living together
arises. This essay helps us to understand deeply the different
dimensions involved in the reflections on our biological-cultural
fundaments, and from there we can understand the dance between
the happening of living and the happening of the coexistence initiated
four billion years ago which we are its changing present.

Without doubt each and every one of these tests evokes different
dimensions of our human habitat. And although its reading may not
be simple, we can recognize in each of the texts a deep reflection
resonating in our daily life from the questions we made once, either
from curiosity or pain of our living.
Also we want to say that there is an epistemological-cultural difficulty
as it approached thinking- writing and circular reading like each and
every one of these texts reveal. In addition, we claim that always one
listens from oneself, and read also from oneself, so the authors are
responsible for what they write, but not for what the reader listens in
his or her reading.

However, as well as these texts respond to a reflexive dynamic that

implies acceptation of the legitimacy of any circumstance under of
reflective observation, is an open invitation to be understood by
anyone who is willing to see and consider from their own reflexive
autonomy the criterions from where the book says what it said.

In this sense, this book, the first of a collection of the Matriztic

Institute, invite to look from our own daily experiences, without
explicative theories, the worlds that we generate in our living. We
emphasize that this invitation is also an invitation to don’t believe
these essays can be read thinking that cultural- biology emerges as a
linear construct from their bases in the biology of cognition and the
biology of love.
Cultural-biology tries to designate and evoke the systemic recursive
dynamics of the coexistence that gives origin, realizes and conserves
our humanness, and only is understandable from a look realizing the
constitutive interlacing of the biological and cultural dynamics that
the unity of the human existence implies.

From the epistemological turn who distinguishes cultural-biology, we

can understand how the principal reflections that such domains entail
can be misunderstood from persons who have been seeing in them
the foundation of his or her own propositions or comprehensions, as
whom that have been seeing in its words incoherences and
contradictions that are seen and understood from comprehensive
foreign matrixes to the generation of the criterion of validity from
which the fundamental invitations that it contains, arises.

That is why we hope that this first book constitutes in their

consciousness a preparation for the psychic good land in which have
to drop the seeds that appear looking at the dynamics of our
biological-cultural living.
Also this book offers a systemic recursively view that invites who has
reflected on the various dimensions of their biological-cultural living,
to review its understanding about humanness assuming the ethical
aspects that the consciousness of live in a patriarchal-matriarchal
culture as we actually live entail. We believe will happen to those who
are willing to change the question for the being for the question for
the doing.
In this psychic postmodern era in which the attachment to the value
of science, knowledge and technology, it has led us to believe we can
achieve everything what we wish if we respect the operational
coherences implied by these desires, we have been realizing that the
consequences of our manner of living generate pain and suffering.

A kind ethical conscience has begun to wake up in the hearts and

minds of the persons around the world. And it is a conscience that
seems arising on the way walked by persons and communities some
ancestral, all of them orientated for the well-being that arises from
our condition as Homo sapiens-amans amans.

It is as well as, in this cultural present of transition into a new psychic

post post modern era, which it seems to arise a cultural matrix that as
a network of conversations it generates an ethical natural conscience
that opens doors for a human coexistence that recovers the ethical
living, will arise a new human and ecological dynamical architecture
through the conservation in ours living of a reflexive recursive or
systemic-systemic conscience.
