Description

...
w York City, New York; Seabury Hall on Maui, Hawaii; University of London, London, England; and two lectures at the Wrekin Trust in Winchester, England. What confirms the importance of these lectures and gives value to the profundity of Ichazo's Integral Philosophy is that they each open and broaden the perspective of his original teachings of the enneagram and its application across Protoanalysis ("First Analysis"). These five lectures gain historical meaning which disclose far-reaching implications about this 'body of Knowledge.' These Teachings are supported by specific references, ensuring that its perspective is relevant in order to attain real understanding of the purpose of Integralism and the theory of the enneagram. Ichazo introduces the major problems of our time and opens a new point of view, along with a synthesis of significant aspects of history, which have brought us to where we are as humanity in terms of our present reasoning abilities and concepts of identity. When we are introduced to what reason is, our mind is then able to perceive Reality as it is, and with new propositions about identity, Ichazo gives an overview of what makes human beings human. He formulates and summarizes the questions proposed by different philosophical teachings from the past, and introduces what questions are relevant at this present time to gain clarity about the human condition. Ichazo addresses the crises we must meet presently; and validates the substantial knowledge conferred by Integral Philosophy that ensures our understanding of the human process in its totality. It is upon this basis that the enneagram is established, without which we are unable to use this knowledge for complete clarification and for discovering our true purpose as human beings and our potential for attaining the Higher States of Mind. The enneagrams of Protoanalysis present, as Ichazo says, "a proposition for a new theory of the psyche, a theory for Self-realization¿."
