RE: Personality Fun - Enneagram

[acurewa]

Hello, hello! Well, according to Wikipedia: "The Enneagram of Personality originates from the mapping of nine "ego fixations" on the enneagram by Oscar Ichazo. A book published in 2017, "The Enneagram: Living and Dead" by Plavan N. Go, attempts to verify it from the viewpoint of Gurdjieff's theories, showing the relevance of the nine personality types and their mapping on the enneagram based on the interpretation of the enneagram according to the Law of Three, the logic of three into four (O+C+N > H), and the Law of Seven."

Gurdjieff and later his disciple Ouspenski spoke about three main ways in the path of knowledge: The Fakir, the path of the body. The Monk, the path of faith and the feelings. And finally the Yogi, the path of the mind. The say that to peruse these ways one has to retire from the world, being impractical and mostly impossible for the common person.

But they also say this: that human evolution is not a natural process, that immortality is not something granted we get automatically. To evolve from this human state forward we have to work simultaneously on the mind, the feelings and the body. And thus the Fourth way, in which one work on oneself simultaneously on the mind, the feelings and the body with guidance from a master. With no retirement from society required, this way is apt for the common people.
