The International Academy of Consciousness
The International Academy of Consciousness
(IAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study
of the consciousness (human essence, soul).
The IAC offers courses to the general public
and organizes debates and conferences on the researched subjects,
disseminating a substantial body of information. The IAC also publishes
books and scientific periodicals aimed at documenting and distributing
its knowledge. Free introductory lectures are available at all IAC’s
educational centers.
The IAC is maintained through revenues generated
from its own activities. As a non-profit organization, all income
is re-invested in research and the further development of its existing
services.
It is a fundamental goal of the IAC to make
accurate and personally verifiable information regarding human nature
available to all those who seek it. Clarifying and de-mystifying
psychic phenomena and the multidimensional nature of life through
a scientific approach provides profound opportunity for individuals
to catalyze the development of their self-awareness, balance and
maturity.
Courses and other educational activities
run by the IAC around the world offer a combination of theoretical
and practical training that embraces the entire range of human experience,
providing participants with opportunities to enrich and deepen their
understanding of life. Some of the subjects taught are psychism
(psychic abilities), healing, paranormal phenomena, energies, the
energetic body and personal energetic control, the out-of-body experience,
synchronicities (more popularly known as karma), life purpose or
task, the evolution of the consciousness, and all related matters.
The information offered by the IAC is the
cumulative result of decades of research and represents the consensus
derived from innumerable individual experiences as well as current
and historical investigations on the subject. Studies are conducted
according to scientific principles, employing a paradigm that recognizes
the existence of non-physical reality – a progressive and
leading-edge non-materialistic approach.
Central to the work and aims of the IAC is
the principle embodied in the phrase: “Don’t believe
in anything you hear. Experiment. Have your own experiences”.
A sign depicting this message is posted in every one of the IAC's
facilities and educational centers around the world.
The IAC is an open organization that welcomes
the participation of individuals who consider that their existential
or life program involves working towards the advancement of the
ideas and theoretical concepts embraced by conscientiology. At the
time of writing, [April 2002], IAC has a staff of 93 volunteer researchers,
instructors and administrators.
