Perspectiva superior

In Insights Into The Teacher • The Philosophy • The School • The Enneagram, Oscar Ichazo talks about his studies, travels and the realization that a method to clarify consciousness for attaining a higher perspective is needed to address the global crisis facing all life on our planet.

Autodescubrimiento

El libro ofrece una rica exploración de la Filosofía Integral de Ichazo y explica una vía de conocimiento mediante la cual podemos descubrir todos los parámetros de nuestra psique a través de una descripción completa de la estructura de nuestra mente.

¿En qué se diferencia el Trabajo Arica?

La Iluminación es el resultado natural de la vida humana. La Escuela Arica proporciona un método contemporáneo de Iluminación. Oscar Ichazo desarrolló un mapa claramente definido de la psique humana para que cada uno de nosotros pueda descubrir la base de nuestro proceso de ego y alcanzar los Estados Superiores de la Mente que están disponibles para todos.

Trabajar las Fijaciones

Ichazo formuló la Teoría del eneagrama del Protoanálisis basándose en la estructura de la psique humana y en la 'doctrina de las Fijaciones'. Utilizando el mapa que proporciona el Protoanálisis, podemos empezar a vivir en un nivel de fluidez, espontaneidad y Autoconsciencia. La aplicación del Protoanálisis abre un inmenso campo para el desarrollo cultural sobre una base espiritual y no materialista.

El método de trabajo de Oscar Ichazo con las Fijaciones cataliza un proceso de Autoobservación.

EXCERPTS

"In the final analysis, Enlightenment is the natural outcome of human life."—Oscar Ichazo

Oscar Ichazo
"Ichazo is the originator of Integral Philosophy, a philosophy that completely analyzes a human being from the lowest levels of the ego–process to the Highest States of Pristine Enlightenment."

Arica School
"What makes the Arica School different from the ancient Schools is that it provides a contemporary method of Enlightenment. The Arica School provides a clearly defined map of the human psyche in order that each of us can discover the basis of our ego–process and transcend this process into the Higher States of Mind which are found in and available to each of us. Arica proposes to go beyond the ego and its state of misery and deception into a State of Innate Awareness, Self–realization, and joy."

Arica Theory
"The Arica Theory is, in fact, the discovery of the nature and functioning of the totality of human experience."

'Mind as Such'
"Without the actual knowledge of your own physical organism, you are not prepared to understand objectively what we have known as the 'Mind as such' since the pre-Socratics. Ancient philosophers were preoccupied with living philosophy as a way of spiritual endeavor, not as a collection of philosophical themes and arguments, but as a way of living."

Three Basic Principles
"Arica Integral Theology is based on an ontology that conceives Being as the integration of the three basic principles: God, man and the Universe. What Arica proposes is a clear Way of Knowledge by which we can discover the entire parameters of our psyche through the complete description of the structure of our mind." Global Culture
"We are witnessing the total collapse of Western culture, and it has to be replaced by a global culture in a hurry, because ahead of us is the enormous task of survival with scarce resources in quite painful conditions. The final truth is that we all belong to the same historic moment in which we are witnessing the end of the cultural values and meaning of western civilization."

"Humanity's need for survival depends on its Unity—a Unity that can only be founded upon transcendental ethics."

The Final Goal
"The entire integral philosophy is directed toward the final goal of human life, attaining union with the Divine. The cultural change that the real application of Protoanalysis opens an immense area for cultural development upon a spiritual basis rather than solely upon a materialistic one."

The Nine Fixations
"The Theory of the Fixations gives our culture an instrument, a tool, a scientific knowledge that can be applied practically towards the attainment of happiness, spiritual liberation and Enlightenment for our time. Nine describes a complete cyclical series that is applicable to everything, from our organism to our psyche, to our Soul, to our mind, and to our Spirit. Working with the Fixations establishes a point of view for entering into a process of Self–observation. The Fixations can define the points where our psyche has been wrongly predisposed, since the Fixations imply a deficiency. The Fixations' ego–conditioned behavior has the appearance of being completely mechanical and repetitive. By working with the Fixations through a process of a guided study and experience of our own Fixations, it is possible to pinpoint these obvious and recurrent patterns of behavior."

Permanent Witness
"This new awareness of the innermost psychic processes becomes a permanent Witness. This knowledge automatically produces states of profound catharsis. The permanent Witness can continue developing our full human potential that here is understood as the completeness of a human being."

"Our essential Superior Self, once awakened, starts immediately into a process of Self–perfection."

Oscar Ichazo's Insights Into The Teacher • The Philosophy • The School • The Enneagram offers the reader just what it promises: glimpses into the man, his theory of Integral Philosophy and the School that he founded. It is a compilation of his responses to several different interviewers. For me, the biggest takeaway is the very clear, human and honest picture you get of the man himself, as teacher, philosopher, innovator, friend, husband, and even passionate cat owner!
