IAC’s Training Method

The scientific basis for conscientiological research and study is the consciential paradigm, an advanced perspective on human existence that places essential value on personal experience or experiential verification of ideas. All research and educational activities performed at the IAC are based on this fundamental principle.

The consciential paradigm goes beyond the investigation of matter and energy, inserting consciousness in the scientific scenario. Under the consciential paradigm, consciousness is considered to be another principle in the Universe, not just a byproduct of the functioning of the human brain (biological matter-energy). Considering consciousness cannot yet be registered or measured by any physical instrument, the only instrument available to study consciousness is the consciousness itself, through self-research or hetero-research.

Accordingly, the courses and other educational events offered by the Academy require the active participation of students and the lucid application of discernment and self-awareness. The pedagogical methodology does not, however, involve any attempts at undue influence, persuasion, hypnosis or the fostering of psychophysiological dependence.

The cornerstone philosophy underpinning the IAC's approach to its educational activities is:

Don’t believe in anything
you hear or read at IAC.
Have your own experience.

The primary aim of all IAC courses and workshops is to equip students with theoretical and practical information necessary for them to understand their multidimensional nature and their innate capacity to master their natural psychic abilities.

Particular emphasis is placed on willfully provoked, lucid out-of-body experiences, recognized as a tool that can enhance our understanding of the diverse array of psychic phenomena and of fundamental aspects of physical and non-physical life.

The substantial body of knowledge offered in IAC educational programs is derived from established research and consensual data, as well as many years of accumulated experience teaching these subjects. The programs enable participants to develop psychic and out-of-body experiences without fear, guilt or repression, recognising them as natural human attributes.

Students are encouraged to foster self-awareness, self-control, personal growth, and maturation. Students’ personal resources employed during courses are rationality, motivation, willpower and applied, systematic effort guided by the experience and knowledge of instructors.

The extensive knowledge presented in IAC’s courses provide a context that is far richer than conventional philosophical thinking, forming the groundwork on which students are able to base an expanded understanding of their life and of their own perceptions and manifestations. This, in turn, gives them the skills and knowledge necessary for achieving greater psychological, bioenergetic and mental health, which promote a greater sense of balance, wellbeing and maturity.

IAC’s teaching method is based on the sequence represented below, which illustrates the natural process of development in the attainment of multidimensional self-awareness and self-control:

Acquisition of knowledge

Mastery of bioenergies (chi)

Achievement of energetic unblocking and balance

Increase in paraperceptions (psychic abilities)

Realization of conscious out-of-body experiences

Expansion of consciential (spiritual) maturity

Attainment of increased self-awareness (self-knowledge)
