The Arica School
The Arica School®
The Arica School was founded in 1968 by Oscar Ichazo, the founder of Integral Philosophy, as a School of Wisdom and Knowledge. This type of school has been in existence since ancient times, from the Greek philosophical schools to the schools of the Hindu, Buddhist and Sufi traditions. As in all classical schools of knowledge, the Arica School offers a complete method of enlightenment. What makes the Arica School different from the ancient schools is that it provides a contemporary method of enlightenment, employing biology, psychology and physics in order to clarify the human process with modern knowledge, for the attainment of freedom and liberation.

Oscar is the first person in history to apply a theoretical application to the figure of the enneagram. The entire enneagram knowledge presented by the Arica School in Oscar's original Teachings is called the "Protoanalytical Theory, System and Method." It employs 108 enneagrams which analyze the complete human being, progressing systematically from the lowest aspects of the human condition to the highest State of Mind. In this State, Unity is experienced as oneness with all humankind.
This original Enneagram Theory is the only Teaching that is based upon the ground of Unity of the Awakened State of Mind. Through the Arica enneagrams employed in the trainings and the Teachings, we can gain knowledge and understanding to attain and stabilize this Higher State.
With a clearly defined and complete map of the human psyche using Oscar's original Enneagram Teachings, we have the basis to discover our entire ego process and to know how to transcend the lowest levels into the Highest State of Mind. This State is found in all of us and is available to each of us. This Higher State is our Awakened Self and is experienced as a State filled with great Happiness, Light, Liberation, and Unity.
