📿 Le tre pagine della presenza

Presence spans three complementary axis-pages of the wiki, to be read as a single movement:

Presenza Integrale™ — the neurological-corporeal dimension of the School (Charges protocol, Reference Point, Stop, Hara). The integrated state of the neurological part
La Presenza (tradizione ermetica) — the hermetic-initiatic dimension: presence in the texts of UR-KRUR, in Reghini, in Giudicelli, and as a hermeneutic key to all techniques of true hermetic work
Il Risveglio — the dimension of fulfillment (Evola, The Doctrine of Awakening 1943): the passage beyond presence into the realized state

Tradition says that whoever is in presence already has one foot in awakening.

Presenza Integrale™ is the original mindfulness-of-the-body protocol by Dr. Marco Paret, foundational to the Paret Method and Mesmerismus®.

Terminological note: "Presenza Integrale™" is the correct term in the Paret method, preferred over "Quantum Presence." In the Quantum Tetraktys system, it is associated with the color Red and the Quintessence.

Foundation: What is Presence

"How many times do you think you are there, but in reality you are among your thoughts, thinking about what you have to do next, what you did before? In reality you are not there. And not being there is problematic, because in that state you have less magnetism, less personal power."

— Dr. Marco Paret — Presence Lesson, Master Hypnosis

The distinguishing feature compared to other mindfulness approaches is the point of entry: not the breath as a mental object of concentration, but the body as primary and primitive intelligence. The kinesthetic sense is defined by Paret as "the most primitive sense of all."

The Four Fundamental Elements

1. The Charges

Breathing exercises whose purpose is not breath control, but awareness of the body. As Paret teaches: "the task is to be conscious, only conscious."

2. The Reference Point

Practice of fixing a stable point in space with an open and soft gaze. As Paret describes: "the voice becomes clearer, more detached the moment you maintain awareness of yourself while speaking."

3. The Stop

A voluntary, brief but intentional interruption of any ongoing action. As Paret teaches: "open the living gaze, feel the sensations that come in — kinesthetic, weight."

4. Hara and Verticality

Hara is the fundamental somatic anchor. As Paret explains: "remembering during the day to seek presence, strike a pose, find the body's weight and the vertical, is each time an instruction to your unconscious mind."

Presence in Action

"We place a person on a chair and have them receive the same technique three times. The first: the operator thinks about their own business. The second: they focus on the person with empathy. The third: the operator is in a state of presence. The subject always perceives the third pass as the best. Yet the technique was identical."

— Dr. Marco Paret — Presence Lesson 2, October 2023

Presence becomes the foundational skill that amplifies all non-verbal techniques. Paret distinguishes between empathy (leads to dispersion) and presence: "when you are in a state of presence, you are devoid of thought. It doesn't mean being in the clouds. It means you truly listen, because your mind is not elsewhere."

Polyvagal Neurophysiological Foundation

The Presenza Integrale™ protocol has a precise neurophysiological foundation in Stephen W. Porges' polyvagal theory (The Polyvagal Theory, Norton 2011), which describes the autonomic nervous system as three functional branches rather than two (the old binary sympathetic/parasympathetic model):

Ventral-vagal parasympathetic (heart-lungs, above the diaphragm) — system of living social communion, relational warmth, voice, eye contact. When active, it produces presence in the operational sense: calm alertness, live contact with the other, radiating warmth
Dorsal-vagal parasympathetic (sub-diaphragmatic organs, abdomen) — system of vegetative calm, rest, digestion, reception. When active, it produces states of deep rest, a foundation of safety, internal presence without tension
Sympathetic (paravertebral ganglionic chain + HPA axis + activated cortex, head) — system of activation (fight-or-flight). When dominant, it produces tension, anxious vigilance, mental dispersion

The state of Presenza Integrale is — in polyvagal terms — dominant ventral vagus anchored to the dorsal vagus, with the cortex available but not dominant. It is the exact opposite of the average modern state where the cortex is in constant sympathetic tension.

The Three Spirits and the Three Planes: Correspondence with Tradition

The polyvagal tripartition corresponds — functionally — to the traditional tripartition of the three spiritus of European hermetic-Galenic medicine (cf. the axis-page Morfologia Occulta sections IV-bis, IV-ter, IV-quater, VI-bis, VI-ter), as well as to the operational terminology of the Paret School:

Dorsal-unmyelinated vagus (abdomen, viscera) = spiritus naturalis = physical plane of the School = hermetic color green = Aristotle's vegetative soul
Ventral-myelinated vagus (heart-lungs) = spiritus vitalis / Calor Innatus = vital plane of the School = color red = Aristotle's sensitive soul
Sympathetic + HPA + activated cortex (head) = spiritus animalis = psychic plane of the School = color white = Aristotle's intellective soul

The coincidence between Porges (2011), Galen-Paracelsus (2nd-16th century), and Aristotle (4th century BC) — not coincidental — indicates that three doctrinal traditions distant in time have grasped the same real structure of the human organism. The Paret-ISI-CNV School operates consciously within this continuity.

The Constructive Principle: The Pyramid

From this reading follows the founding principle of Presenza Integrale work: it is built from the bottom up, like a pyramid — physical → vital → psychic, never the reverse:

Base: physical (dorsal vagus, calm abdomen) — always start from bodily grounding. Charges of breath, Hara and verticality, weight of the body in the chair. Without this base, nothing holds
Body: vital (ventral vagus, heart-lungs) — only then activate energy in the chest: living voice, full and modulated breath, open eye contact. This is where magnetism develops
Apex: psychic (cortex available, not dominant) — only with base and body stabilized does the mind work clearly. Thought and image are not eliminated, but become subordinate functions to rooted presence

This principle overturns the modern model that starts from the head (idea, decision, will) and tries to impose it on the body. The School's model — and that of all authentic initiatic tradition — is instead that of the pyramid: the apex exists only if the base supports it. Hence the operational effectiveness of the four fundamental practices (Charges, Reference Point, Stop, Hara), which build precisely from the bottom up to full presence.
