Consciousness is the intelligent and eternal principle of the Universe. It is the rational being that lives within us in this and other lives. It is an individuality that occupies a space in time here or anywhere else in the Universe. Are you! I sought inspiration in Chaos Theory in order to establish a medical connection between Consciousness as a rational and ‘fallible’ agent capable of causing physical illnesses based on its own moral illnesses. Therefore, we will develop an approach to this subject with the inclusion of Chaos Theory applied to medicine through the intuitive/deductive method. Thus, we have included section 2, which provides a brief summary of Chaos Theory with the aim of explaining or shedding light on the events that supposedly occur in the pathophysiology of moral illnesses with a vibrational impact on the physical body. This is an unusual subject that has never been studied by contemporary medical science, despite being a subject that has its primordial basis ‘rooted’ in ancient humanity, morally still very primitive.
