As Americans sweat out one of the hottest summers on record, we've watched in dismay as drought has withered endless acres of crops and pushed the federal government to declare "natural" disasters in more than half the nation's counties.

The Arica School can be considered, as Ramparts magazine put it in 1973, "a body of techniques for inherent consciousness-raising and an ideology to relate to the world in an awakened way.
"[1] Origins[edit] The Arica School's origins began in 1956 when groups of people formed in major cities in South America to study the thoughts that Ichazo was proposing. Ichazo's theories are based upon such traditional metaphysical questions such as: "What is humankind? " Basic theory[edit] Essence and ego[edit] Tetrapharmakos. The Tetrapharmakos (τετραφάρμακος) "four-part remedy" is a summary of the first four of the Κύριαι Δόξαι (Kuriai Doxai, the forty Epicurean Principal Doctrines given by Diogenes Laërtius in his Life of Epicurus) in Epicureanism, a recipe for leading the happiest possible life.
