IAC: Promoting a multidimensional paradigm for thestudy and evolution of consciousness

International Academy ofConsciousness (IAC)is a non-profit organization dedicated to consciousness research and education.The IAC is committed to investigating consciousness, its capacity to manifestbeyond common physical reality and a comprehensive associated range of psiphenomena.Demystifying these phenomena and clarifying misconceptions oftenrelated to them empower individuals to understand and develop their own abilities,allowing them to exercise greater control over their lives.

The courses offered by IAC’s educational centers around the world offerparticipants a combination of information and practical training thatallows them to understand and experience life beyond ordinary physicalmanifestation. First-hand experience of multidimensionality may bringabout a paradigm shift and an enhanced sense of purpose.The IAC employs an ethical and universalistic approach in the disseminationof its studies. Participants are given the tools with which they can increaseawareness of their multidimensional potential. The lucid omniquestioningprinciple embodied in the following phrase is central to IAC’s work: Be Lucid. Question Everything and Everyone. Experiment. Ponder.The underlying intention behind all IAC research and educational activitiesis to provide assistance to those interested in deepening their knowledgeof these subjects.
