A Commentary on Crazy Wisdom

by Oscar Ichazo

Overview

Oscar Ichazo's book, A Commentary on Crazy Wisdom, is part of the Integral Philosophy Tradition and discloses this aspect of the tradition he originated. The Teaching delineates the Crazy Wisdom contemplative practice and gives historical examples of the nature of Mind to which he refers. Here Oscar provides the direct Teachings about the total maturity and stability of the 'Mind of Crazy Wisdom in itself,' which takes no effect from relative reality, whether internal or external in nature. The Knowledge of these Teachings, when used in a meditative practice, opens an increase in the amount and continuity of Light of the 'Divine Mind or the Light in itself.' Consequently, Crazy Wisdom can be defined as an Awakened Mind with complete understanding and a calm-abiding ground that ensures the entrance into its Ultimate State of Innate Awareness, that of the Mind of Eternal Presence. The Method Oscar proposes-the Crazy Wisdom Teachings and practice-concludes in the State of Supreme Freedom of the Mind of Enlightenment, opening a life of happiness and tranquility for all.

About the Author

Oscar lchazo is the originator of the new tradition of Integral Philosophy, which presents a complete analysis of the human condition from the lowest levels of subjectivity up to the Highest States of Enlightenment (Gk. Theosis). In 1968 he founded the Arica School of Knowledge, through which he presented the Enneagrammatic Theory of Protoanalysis (first analysis) as well as its Theoretical Teachings and Practices of Integralism.
From the beginning Ichazo’s Teachings answered three most important metaphysical questions: What is humankind? What is the Supreme Good of humanity? What is the Truth that gives meaning and value to human life? His work also includes the Universal Truths supported by a new logic of cycles called “Trialectics,” the logical Laws of the Mind in the ‘process of becoming.’
Ichazo wrote numerous books and training manuals (group trainings, individual trainings, and meditational practices), for over fifty?–?five years. The Oscar Ichazo Foundation was established to support the publications endeavor and is the nonprofit organization in which the copyrights of the Integral Philosophical Knowledge are held, including the teachings and trainings into the Higher States of attainment. The Arica School, through Arica Institute Training Sponsors, has presented Ichazo’s live group trainings of Protoanalysis and other related teachings worldwide.
Ichazo died at his home on Maui, Hawai’i in 2020 at the age of 88, and is survived by his wife of 40 years, Sarah, who is the editor and publisher of his teachings through The Oscar Ichazo Foundation. With many friends and students of the Arica School, she continues to offer Ichazo’s teachings for the benefit of all and the realization of a united humanity (Humanity–?One).
