The Deep Science Behind the Enneagram
The Enneagram symbol is seen as a model of the underlying patterns that connect our knowledge of psychology, biology, physics, mythology and spirituality. Unlike other theories that show the Enneagram in a static two-dimensional way, this Essential Wholeness will broaden your perspective into an expanding multidimensional model, much like a three-dimensional spiral.
