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. With the right mathematics it might be represented as a fractal.

New Ideas Arise out of the Deep Ecology of our True Nature

Enneagram of Essential Qualities of Soul
Our essential quality of peace seeks to cooperate more fully with life as it is emerging within and around us. This inspires greater mindfulness of our internal and external experience. This leads us to a greater sense of compassion in the way we relate to ourselves and the rest of creation. Out of compassion we find the strength to promote life’s emerging agendas and address our inadequacies and past mistakes with forgiveness. Through forgiveness we are able to experience the present moment as it is, which in turn opens up the space in our consciousness to investigate the nature of reality more fully.

In the beginning it is the desire to be free from suffering that drives us to look deeper within or beyond our usual sense of self. Self-realization and psychotherapy are, on one hand, a retrograde process. In it, we are relaxing back through our layers of constructed trance-like reality and come to rest in radical acknowledgement and acceptance of where we actually are on the human level. We then, take one step deeper into the ground of our being.
