This article explores the deep connections between psychoanalysis, cognitive neuroscience, quantum physics, and Andean medicine, focusing on how each system employs analogical reasoning and symbolic structures to interpret human experience. The authors propose a framework that recognizes nested levels of relational experience—from the body to community to cosmos—and show how coherence, resonance, and fractal patterns unify healing practices across these diverse domains. Emphasizing symbolic meaning-making, self-reflection, and embodied attunement, the article advocates for a holistic view of human consciousness and change.

  • Identify key theoretical elements from neuroscience, psychoanalysis, Andean medicine, and quantum physics.

  • Explain the concept of analogical reasoning and its role in therapeutic and symbolic systems.

  • Describe the structure and function of the Default Mode Network (DMN) in cognitive and symbolic processes.

  • Analyze how Andean cosmology and medicine represent embodied and ecological worldviews.

  • Discuss the role of resonance, coherence, and fractal dynamics in healing across disciplines.

  • Reflect on the concept of the self as a dynamic, relational, and self-interpreting entity across nested contexts.
