Consciousness Development Program (CDP)
Description

Class on astral projection (CDP)The Consciousness Development Program (CDP) is IAC´s core curricular program. It covers a vast amount of information on the sciences of conscientiology and projectiology, placing special emphasis on their practical and experiential aspects. The CDP examines subjects such as psychic awareness, out-of-body experience (astral traval, astral projection), healing, karmic links, energetic self-defense, death and dying, cosmoethics, life program, paranormal phenomena, subtle dimensions, assistance to physical and non-physical beings, and many others.

The CDP is 40 hours long and combines theoretical classes with practical exercises, focusing primarily on the out-of-body experience (OBE). The OBE is a tool for personal growth, as it facilitates a first-hand experience of the invisible non-physical world that we interact with, allowing us to understand the psychic experiences from a broader perspective.

Class on out of body experienceThe OBE (astral projection) is not an end in itself, but rather a tool that allows us to experience the multidimensional aspect of our nature. The ability to have conscious OBEs and to interact with consciousnesses from other dimensions is a necessary step in our evolutionary process. OBEs are an opportunity for us to obtain answers to questions such as: What is my purpose in life? Have I had previous lives? Can I meet someone who has died? Do I die with biological death? Where did I come from?

The OBE is totally different from dreams in that one travels consciously to other realms. Conscious projectors are able to visit places, meet people, increase their knowledge, and achieve greater spiritual maturity. The OBE is a fascinating experience that catalizes personal evolution.

Projectiology considers lucid projection (lucid astral projection) to be a natural phenomenon. The methods and astral travel techniques proposed by projectiology are designed to put the phenomenon under the voluntary control of the experimenter. The conscious out-of-body experience allows the individuals to utilize that one-third of their lives which, from a consciential point of view, is ‘wasted’ during sleep [the physical body needs rest, but the consciousness itself can be active while the physical body sleeps].

In addition, the CDP training offers practical exercises with bioenergy (chi, prana) and to achieve astral projections. Emphasis is placed on enabling participants to sense, discriminate, and control their energies without any imagination or suggestion.

Mastering bioenergies allows individuals to:

  (1) experience conscious, controlled OBEs;
(2) increase extrasensory perceptions;
(3) expand self-awareness and balance;
(4) develop psychic abilities;
(5) sense & unblock chakras;
(6) achiever greater emotional balance and physical well-being.

The IAC stresses the importance of direct personal experience over beliefs and mysticism. The methods used enable participants to have their own experiences, without any kind of induction or dependence.
