Oscar was a formidable scholar and exceptional Teacher, and he was internationally recognized as a true philosopher in the classical sense. He originated a completely new philosophical tradition that analyzes a human being from the lowest levels of human suffering to the highest levels of human attainment. Oscar also originated a new form of logic called “Trialectics,” the logic of cycles, and introduced his original and complete Enneagramatic Theory, in which were presented his philosophical Teachings for the clarification of the subjective ego process, using the enneagram as the basis of his Teachings, Theory, Method, and Practice. He was the first person to use the enneagram for this purpose.
In WE ARE ONE, Facing our Global Crisis with Unity, Oscar Ichazo presents his Teachings of how the “Four Killers of Humanity” can be faced from the perspective of Unity, with a direct and an easy-to-understand method to establish this State of Unity within us. It is from this State that we can attain a higher collective purpose and common ethical ground to unite us to solve our problems for the benefit of the planet and all humanity.
“Unity is the experience of being in the State of Oneness with another human being or with humanity as a whole.” Oscar Ichazo
In 1981, Oscar and Sarah married and moved to the island of Maui, Hawaii, where in 1983, he began writing and publishing many books and articles with her help, and together they developed the training manuals and publications for the School based upon his Teachings. They worked together for thirty-nine years in the peace and tranquility of the Golden Palm Monastery, publishing and distributing his Teachings through the Arica School, as well as organizing large lecture events.
Oscar gave interviews when time allowed and lectured twice daily at the Arica School reunions, presenting his Teachings and practices to large audiences. He published his definitive book (The Nine Constituents: The Science of the Human Condition from Ego to Enlightenment), which includes the basis of the Enneagramatic Theory. He also produced a number of other books of his Teachings which included other aspects of Protoanalysis, including extensive material related to his Enneagramatic Theory, Method and Practice, as well as training practices leading into the Higher States of Mind. A number of books concerning other subjects related to attaining the Higher States through different Integral Methods were published and are available in the webstore. His work provides a complete, well-delineated, and clearly-defined map of the human condition, enabling us to be able to discover the basis of our ego process. This map provides us with the ability and knowledge to recognize and transcend our relative ego process into the Higher States of Mind, which are found in and available to each of us. This ‘State of Being’ is our True Self, Essential and Pure, and is experienced as an internally-realized State of great Happiness, Light and Liberation.
Oscar passed peacefully into his Eternal Divine Life in March 2020. The large body of Knowledge he completed and left for the benefit of humanity will provide a fundamental ground for the awakening of many into a realized Higher State. Oscar’s life’s work was dedicated to this goal, and he offered his Integral Philosophical Way for entering and stabilizing the Higher States of Absolute Oneness and Unity for the benefit of all humanity.
