Episode 9 show notes:

* Bryce is kinda shocked by how few people he knows who are leveraging the Enneagram as the deep inner tool that it is.

* Living in Boulder, Colorado - where most everyone has some knowledge of the Enneagram, but very few seem to be aware of how powerful a tool it is.

* Discovering "The Complete Enneagram" by Beatrice Chestnut was a a game-changer for Victoria.

* The Enneagram is "not a flattering system" on the level of the personality, and working with it takes a kind of courage.

* Victoria notes that, "To turn inward is a big move, and one might opt out of going into the intensity."

* A more experiential approach to the Enneagram, served up by Uranio Paes and Beatrice Chestnut - including the "subtype deconstructors".

* One of the self-pres Four deconstructors Bryce is practicing: Lightening up.

* What is Deep Inner Work?

* The Enneagram as a system of self-discovery, and the path it offers.

* A. H. Almaas' "Facets of Unity" and the Holy Ideas.

* "Holy Origin" vs the Zen position that "nobody is special".

* This unique self, this manifestation of Being as soul, is often depicted as a lesser truth than the greater truth of unlimited, boundless awareness.

* Almaas notes that it's challening to describe the Holy Idea of the Four, and that most spiritual traditions don't know what to do with this "uniqueness of being".

* Beyond the "arrows of integration and disintegration": the "evolutionary" and "devolutionary" potentiality in each of the arrow directions.

* The passion of each type is alchemized into Virtue; the fixation of each type is transformed into the Holy Ideas.

* The Enneagram looks at Being, personality, reality unfolding through the individual - and we then ask "where am I getting fixated, distorted, delusional?"

* The embodied path of deeper Enneagram work.

* Victoria's convincing experience that the Enneagram really works, and her personality is relaxing, while a deep alive Presencing is unfolding...

* The Enneagram shows us the practices that are most essential for our unique situation, dependent upon type, dominant instinct, subtype, and more.

* We're here to support you!
