What is Enneagram and how can you benefit from it?

Enneagram is a human typology science that provides us the ability to look into ourselves beyond our “personality” type. The symbol of Enneagram consists of three distinctive geometric shapes that were interpreted by Gurdjieff as the basic laws of Enneagram, in which they hold all secrets of the universe and answers to many questions that have always been left unanswered. It is considered an ideal map for exploring the different “personality” types, describing each type according to one’s motives and limitations, with the aim of helping individuals reach the highest levels of self-understanding, and unite with every aspect of themselves as a beginning to a journey of awakening their true essence.

This course consists of three levels in which we dive deeper on each level into the mechanisms of this model and how to apply the teachings that we discover the need for throughout this journey, in order to connect to our essence that exists within us all.

The objective of this journey is to get a deeper understanding of yourself and to contemplate on the laws of nature; we all come from one source, regardless to the type, and it’s only natural for one thing and its opposite to exist in one place in which they unite for a whole creation, one cannot go without the other, just like how a female needs a male to create a baby, how we need to exhale as much as we need to inhale to keep on breathing, and how the heart contracts and expands at the same time to keep on pumping blood. In the same sense, each one of us has got both light and dark forces within, the Spirit and the Ego, and from here comes the creation of all our behavioral patterns, actions and decisions, influencing everything and everyone around us.

What will we learn in this journey?

In the first level, we are introduced to the Enneagram’s 9 personality types, then we further deepen our understanding of each type’s motives and limitations in the second and third levels. With a deeper understanding of yourself and the rationale behind why you are the way you are, you can start seeing the source of your thought and behavioural patterns, and even your beliefs that could be limiting you and keeping you from uniting with yourself and making peace with it. 

We also learn that each three types are categorised with one center of intelligence that is in control and described by Gurdjieff as follows: The Guts which is also known as the Physical Body, The Heart or the Emotional Body, and The Mind. All three already exist within each individual but with different ratios. While some people might think that their type is what makes them unique or special as they learn how it accurately describes them to an extent that may make some feel joy and others feel sadness, truth is what makes us special is our core essence, that which comes from one source, the force of light that is always in need to express itself through us and not through our false sense of self coming out of the Ego.

After finishing the third level, we start learning how to liberate ourselves from the illusion of personality being our true identity, and going on beyond it and deeper towards our inner light that shows us the path to our awakening.
