THE SEVENTH ACADEMY
Like ancient Eastern and Western academies, the Seventh Academy offers tools for self-awareness and culture transformation.
The Academy has no fixed doctrines, absolute truths, dogma, or rigid positions. Academy seminars focus on understanding - and the tools that help us understand.
What does this mean?
The Buddha's "Raft Parable" describes it nicely:
Along the path of life, we may need to cross a river. If we already have a raft, that's great. If we don't, we find one. Either way, the raft is just a tool. Whatever type of raft gets us across that river at that particular place is the right tool for us at that time.
Similarly, Seventh Academy seminars offer methods for working with our lives. Once these tools have been mastered, they can be applied to any endeavor.
But they aren't meant to be carried around, worshipped, or held up as the best or only ways. They are meaningful only so long as they are useful.
