"Immersed in a time of tremendous upheaval, terrorism and global war, environmental degradation, crisis partner investment of guiding values \u200b\u200bof human attitude, etc .- seems to be the only valid way of embarking on a journey back to that lost paradise that lies in the depths of every human being. " This was the letter of the book The return to paradise lost (Sotabur, 2004), written by my good friend José Antonio Delgado González, a graduate in Environmental Sciences and an expert in Analytical Psychology. On my last trip to Madrid I got to meet him and make a lengthy interview in which he proved, once again, his vast knowledge of scientific, philosophical, psychological, ecological, spiritual, etc.., And its holistic approach including makes him perceive the world as a whole rather than fragmented. Based on Jungian psychology, which is the source that José Antonio has drunk to develop their studies on humans and their internal conflicts, she talked about highly topical issues, although from different perspectives sometimes that might be controversial but no less interesting and take into account. And I can attest to the rigor that characterizes José Antonio, as shown in his works, especially the aforementioned. No doubt the great contribution he is making in his research on intrinsic aspects of the human psyche, both individually and collectively. It is true that we disagree on some points. For example, about astrology, which he examines in depth and from a Jungian approach, I consider myself totally skeptical. On the other hand, I question the mind-brain duality. He did not. Also, my search has resulted in a defense of philosophical materialism, denying any significance and accepting only the immanence of reality, and yet he did defend the existence of other planes intangibles (advocating the "Unus Mundus" metaphysical concept that refers to an underlying reality from which everything emerges, with the material and spiritual two manifestations of a single unified reality.) Still, we respect our differences, discussed in a relaxed, learn from each other and we put our friendship, which is truly valuable. And I can say I am very honored to grow for years a sincere friendship with José Antonio, sharing intellectual interests, research and opinions. As with our mutual friend Raúl M. Ortega, another great expert in Jungian psychology and who first introduced us.
