THE HISTORY OF THE INTEGRAL TEACHINGS, VOLUME III
Oscar Ichazo’s Teachings from 1999 to 2005

The third volume of The History of the Integral Teachings by Oscar Ichazo, the originator of the new tradition of Integral Philosophy, presents his published philosophical Teachings in chronological order from 1999 to 2005, including letters, messages, articles, and the introductions to trainings. The Teachings and trainings have been studied by the Arica School and are the basis upon which the School was founded, with the purpose to clarify the lower levels of the human condition in order to enter and stabilize, in this lifetime, the Highest State of Theosis (Gk), the State of Enlightenment, for the benefit of all.

EXCERPTS

Our Cultural Base
"We have had a really monstrous social and economic growth, but at our cultural base we have nothing. We have no foundations. We have no true realization."

Historical Perspective
"This is the first time in the history of the world in which a complete philosophical and scientific method of Self–realization and Enlightenment can be a normal aim of human existence."

Democratic Spirituality
"Our survival….needs to be founded upon a perfect, free and democratic spirituality beyond the totalitarianism, monarchism and simple tyranny of spiritual dependency on anything other than what is Divine and Absolute in all of us."

Transcendentality
"Once a Mind of Transcendentality is attained by the Unity of the Relative and the Absolute Minds, then appears the internal 'arc of Unity,' the recognition that the content of the mind or its own thoughts and the Mind itself as the source of these thoughts are one and the same."

Crazy Wisdom
"Crazy Wisdom can be defined as a Mind that understands itself so completely that it does not allow any obscurations to cover its natural radiance of Innate Awareness, the State of Eternal Presence."

Divine Forms
"The clarity of the nine Divine Forms gives us direct perception of transcendentality and of what in the Integral Protoanalytic Theory is known as 'Objective Reality,' or Ultimate Reality as it is perceived by a Mind activated by one of the Divine Forms or the sum of all of them."

Transcending Habitual Patterns
"Under the influence of the Divine Forms, which in Integral Philosophy are also called the "Psychocatalyzers," a process of transcending the habitual patterns of behavior produced by the Trifix is possible."

Self–realization
"Bliss and happiness...can only be found when ego–positions at all levels are transcended into the immense love and Light found in the center of the heart and in the Spirit of the School (Humanity–One)."

"Gratitude is a higher and noble Emotional State, a manifestation of pure Divine Love, Justice and Freedom that recognizes what is The Good, The Truth, and Eternal."
—Oscar Ichazo

About Oscar Ichazo

Oscar Ichazo is the originator of Integral Philosophy, which includes the Enneagram Theory of the Ego–Fixations. His groundbreaking work underscores the need to recognize human behavior from its lower levels to its higher understanding in order to meet the challenges of the current global situation and climate crisis.
