Interviews with Oscar Ichazo (1931-2020), a Bolivian philosopher and metaphysical teacher who founded Arica School in Chile in 1968. In this collection of interviews, conducted by journalists and members of Arica, Ichazo discusses a wide range of social and historical topics related to the search for enlightenment. He talks about his life and the experiences which led to his prominence as a philosopher and mystic. He describes journeys to Eastern strongholds of esoteric knowledge, experiences with shamans and meeting with masters, the underlying unity of the high cultures and traditions, the dynamic structure of the psyche, the nature and purpose of a mystical school, and the coming of a 'metasociety'.
