    Is that Love is true universality.

        • WCME 033: Exploring Type Two (The Helper)


          Path #2: The Jewel in my heart is Unconditional Love. When my Jewel shines clearly, I reflect Unconditional Love into the world like Mother Teresa, embodying kindness and wholehearted generosity. When my Jewel is obstructed by my own need to feel appreciated for everything I give to others, my essential Love can come across as codependence or passive-aggression. I’m trying my best to find Unconditional Love, and I need to remember that I can’t get that from helping others or being needed; I can only find true Unconditional Love by being honest with myself about my true motivations.

          • “I must give in order to get”: conditional love vs. unconditional love
          • Two acts like Eight (The Challenger) under stress
          • How Twos can end up in codependent relationships
          • Feeling mixed with Doing: Twos “do their feelings”
          • How the whole feeling triad (Two, Three, and Four) deals with feeling worthless, and how Twos deal with it in particular
          • Twos have trouble expressing their needs directly, and this can come across as passive-aggressive
          • Sometimes Twos cross personal boundaries in an attempt to be overhelpful
          • Acknowledge your dark side. Notice your own flattery.
          • Not everyone will like you.
          • Translate others’ love languages so you can feel loved without making the usual error
          • Notice your pride (which may look like humility)
          • Ask yourself: “Why am I saying yes?”
          • Separate feeling from doing. Accept all your feelings without filtering, without doing – like a healthy Four.
          • Use “personality judo” to love yourself fiercely and take good care of yourself.
          • Transform your love scarcity into love abundance. You don’t have to get love, you are love.
          • Essential Will, Essential Freedom

          • WCME 032: A conversation with Liz, a Two (Helper)

            We talk with Liz about her experience of being a Two.

            After everyone else has been nursed,
            Liz can finally quench her own thirst.
            She’s kind to a fault,
            And she’s trying to halt
            People-pleasing and put herself first.

            Thank you, Liz, for sharing what it’s like to be you!

            • Let’s topsy-turvyize your understanding of life and death.
            • A neuron might say, “I wonder if there is a God-Person and if so, where?” The neuron thinks the God-Person is somewhere outside, or on a “different plane of existence”, but in fact the neuron is part of the God-Person!
            • “‘Spiritual’ isn’t a separate plane of existence, it’s a zoom level.” -Pace Smith
            • Essential Law: You’re the water, not the otter.
            • Essential Harmony: What does it mean for a water current to win or lose?
            • Essential Hope: Falling in love with the Divine

            • WCME 030: Exploring Type Three (The Performer)


              Path #3: The Jewel in my heart is Value. When my Jewel shines clearly, I reflect Value into the world like Oprah Winfrey, using my own gifts to inspire others and help them realize their own value. When my Jewel is obstructed by vanity or ambition, my essential Value can come across as deceit, manipulation, or self-centeredness. I’m trying my best to feel worthy and valuable, and I need to remember that I can’t get that from achieving success in the world; I can only find true Value by being open, vulnerable, and authentic.

              • fear of being worthless, without intrinsic value
              • what does success mean to you? It may be different based on your instinct.
              • A Three is like a chameleon
              • Threes believe their own press releases
              • workaholism
              • competition, being the best
              • The #enneagram 3’s warning label: “I will lie to you and neither of us will know it”
              • vanity (Oprah’s fatal flaw)
              • The importance of alone time to Threes
              • learning from the nurturing parent that the way to get love is to achieve
              • “Are you happy?”
              • Threes have two modes: robot mode (thinking+doing) and feeling mode
              • Comparing Threes and Sevens (The Enthusiast)
              • how 3 disintegrates to 9
              • notice when you’re wearing a mask
              • self-care before you desperately need it
              • vulnerability and intimacy
              • what’s unimpressive but still worth doing?
              • meditation
              • Three integrates to Six (The Loyal Skeptic): being of service as part of a group, but not the leader!
              • the real thing I love most about being a 3: value & inspiration
              • rest rest rest flow > slog slog slog slog

                • WCME 028: Enneagram Story Genres, with Judith Searle


                  Each Enneagram type corresponds with one or more story genres, like Thriller, Success Story, or Western. Judith Searle explains how these fit together and what you can do with that knowledge as a writer, filmmaker, or storyteller.

                  • What does it mean for a book or a film to have a type? Is it the protagonist’s type? The author’s type?
                  • Judith goes through the story genres corresponding through each type: 6 3 9 1 4 2 8 5 7
                  • The Hero’s Journey as a romp ’round the 9-3-6 triangle
                  • Now that you know this correspondence between genres and Enneagram types, what can you do with it?
                  • One answer: It can help you fill the vast wasteland of the second act.
                  • Another answer: Tell your life story in 5 minutes. The genre of the story you told is probably your Enneagram type.
