ABSTRACT:

This article wants to show some of the complexities related to the creation of intraconsciential and extraconsciential realities and stimulate the reader to examine her/his own case. It applies an anthropological/conscientiological approach, putting particular emphasis on the effects of the cultural variables both in the creation of knowledge and in the way knowledge is used, exemplifying this with a look at the cultural circumstances of Brazil which may have influenced the arising of the Consciential Paradigm in that country.
