The Arica School
From: http://www.taichifoundation.org/arica.shtml
The Arica School was founded in 1968 by Oscar Ichazo as a School
of Knowledge. This type of school can be found since antiquity
from the Greek Schools to the schools of the Hindu, Buddhist,
and Sufi traditions. As in all schools of knowledge, the Arica
School
provides a method of enlightenment, but what makes the Arica
School different from the ancient schools is that it provides
a contemporary
method of enlightenment, which employs biology, psychology,
and physics in order to clarify human consciousness with modern
knowledge
that produces freedom and liberation.
The knowledge that the Arica School teaches, which is called
the protoanalytical theory, system, and method, was originated
by Oscar Ichazo. Protoanalysis is the analysis of the complete
human being, which starts from the lowest aspects of the human
process and progresses systematically to the higher states of
consciousness, where enlightenment can be attained. The Arica
School provides a clearly defined map of the human psyche in
order for each person to discover the basis of their ego process
and to transcend this process into a higher state of consciousness
that is found in each of us. This state of being is our True
Essential Self, which is experienced as an internal state of
great happiness, Light, and liberation.
The Arica School presents nine different levels of trainings
and practices that clarify step-by-step the human process we
all share, while at the same time introducing knowledge to guide
us into the higher states where dwells our True Essential Self.
Each level clearly defines, analyzes, and processes the psychological
aspects of the human psyche or ego by which we gain perspective
and understanding about ourselves and others. From this perspective,
we clarify our own life's experience which produces a state of
self-observation and non-attachment. When the mind is stabilized
through perspective, understanding, and self-observation, then
meditations are employed to transcend our everyday experiences
into the higher states of mind, where enlightenment and real
freedom can be attained. In summary, we can say that the Arica
School is a School of Knowledge that presents a contemporary
method for the clarification of the human process into states
of enlightenment and true liberation.
