The Gift of the Enneagram

“The Enneagram is the ego made visible.” Eli Jaxon-Bear

The Enneagram is an ancient wisdom teaching that can ultimately point the way to true freedom.

What if the egoic movement of “me” and “my life”, the habitual movements away, against and toward can be used as pathways to freedom?

The Enneagram can serve in this way as it describes the nine different ways in which identification with the Ego, or false self, can block the true light of our Being.  It serves as the open possibility that once we are aware of the ways that the light is being blocked - the habits, the patterns that may have once kept us safe, but are now causing suffering - we can use them to trace back to the Source of who we are, where we are, free and at peace.  Where we can live as love.

No better love than love with no object,
no more satisfying work than work with no purpose.
If you could give up tricks and cleverness,
that would be the cleverest trick!
Rumi - translated by Coleman Barks
