The Enneagram is a profound spiritual and psychological system
based on nine fundamental ways attention is organized.
The resulting nine habitual patterns of attention greatly affect our beliefs,
preoccupations, and behaviors. Study of this system helps
build awareness, compassion, and wisdom.
There are nine types described. No one type is better or worse
than any other type. I've seen articles that point out how Christ
had all of them.. So this points out how each of us is one of the types
and gives new meaning to being a part of the body of christ
that way we each bring our gifts to the completion of the body.
This is the body which is being built up to perfection. This
would be us combining our types toghether to be whole like Christ
The enneagram was developed by the Sufi to be used as a tool in
conversion. I do think the Western world has dome some harm
by putting this oral tradition into books. Originally a seeker
would go to a teacher to discover his point of attention and
what motivated him to behave as he did. The seeker did not learn
of the other types and so could not use them to judge other people
Many people get hung up on trying to read others when they
need to be concerned with themselves
