THE ENNEAGRAM
IN FIVE LECTURES

by Oscar Ichazo

With the enneagrams, he presents "a proposition for a new theory of the psyche, a theory for Self–realization. —Oscar Ichazo

These lectures give an overview of some of the basic maps of the Integral teachings about the human organism — the body, the psyche, the Spirit — and our lives. Much the same material is covered in each of the five lectures, along with a comparison of Formal Logic and Dialectics, and their historical context, and introducing Ichazo's exegesis of a third logic, Trialectics, the logic of cycles. The opportunity to learn from five similar but different iterations of this material is immensely useful, expanded my understanding and made me want to know more. This is how we must understand our world and ourselves if we are to adequately respond to the crises of our times.

Ichazo's new tradition of Integral Philosophy reveals a complete teaching of the enneagram for those interested in clarifying the relative nature of the lower manifestations of the human process. We can use this knowledge for discovering our true purpose as human beings.

Ichazo presents the major perspective 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. He formulates what questions are relevant at this moment in human development to gain clarity about the human condition and our way forward.

With Ichazo’s new propositions about identity, we have an overview of what makes human beings human. By using the enneagram, we have a map for meaningful clarification and Self-realization.

When Ichazo introduces what reason is, our mind is able to perceive Reality as it is.
