  • WCME 026: Exploring Type Four, The Romantic

    Path #4: The Jewel in my heart is Depth. When my Jewel shines clearly, I reflect Depth into the world like Alanis Morissette, diving into my own heart to unearth the treasures buried within, helping others know themselves more deeply through my own vulnerable self-expression. When my Jewel is obstructed by envy or melancholy, my essential Depth can come across as moodiness, self-consciousness, and haughtiness. I’m trying my best to find my essential Depth, and I need to remember that I can’t get that from escaping into my emotions; I can only find true Depth by being the eye of the hurricane, centered in myself.

      • WCME 023: Exploring Type 5, The Observer

        Path #5: The Jewel in my heart is Clarity. When my Jewel shines clearly, I reflect Clarity into the world like Albert Einstein, exploring an area in exquisite detail until I grok it in fullness. When my Jewel is obstructed by fear of being unsafe, my essential Clarity can come across as aloofness or detachment. I’m trying my best to find Clarity, and I need to remember that I can’t get that from the outside; I can only find true Clarity by being willing to jump into life and experience it as a participant, not just an observer.

        • Fives think their feelings
        • hoarding (actual or metaphorical)
        • reading books about spirituality

              Enneagram Study Group: Pace and Kyeli dive into The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram, by Sandra Maitri. In this episode we introduce the Essential Ideas of Type Six: Essential Strength and Essential Faith.

              Even if you’re not a Six and don’t care about learning the spiritual dimension of Type Six, listen to the first 20 minutes anyway because we talk about Essence in general and what this whole “spiritual” thing means anyway.

              • What is Essence? What is this whole “spiritual” dimension anyway?
              • We say “Essential Idea” instead of “Holy Idea” to avoid the religious baggage of the word “holy”.
              • Essential Strength
              • Essential Faith

              • WCME 020: Exploring Type 6, The Loyal Skeptic

                Path #6: The Jewel in my heart is Guidance. When my Jewel shines clearly, I reflect Guidance into the world like Ellen DeGeneres, building connection so we can all work together for the common good. When my Jewel is obstructed by anxiety, my essential Guidance can come across as skepticism or blind obedience to authority. I’m trying my best to find my essential Guidance, and I need to remember that I can’t get that from any person or organization outside myself; I can only find true Guidance by learning to trust the inner wisdom of my heart.

                • “Being a six: wanting to know for sure more than anything else in the universe, while simultaneously believing that knowing anything for sure is fundamentally impossible.” -Seanan Kristine Thomas

                          • Your enneatype shows you the thing that you do without even trying

                          • The life purpose of each type: 3 6 9 1 4 7 2 5 8
                          • Your instinct gives you the manner in which to express your gift and meet your needs (using 2 as an example)
                          • The core message of the Enneagram is that you don’t have to try so hard.
