LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED A FREE LECTURE ABOUT HOW ENNEAGRAMS ARE USED TO IDENTIFY THE CORE STYLE OF INDIVIDUALS PHILOSOPHICAL, SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL BELIEFS. IT WAS AT A PLACE CALLED THE JOURNEY CENTER IN SANTA ROSA. I ENJOYED RELEARNING ABOUT THE WAY INDIVIVIDUALS ARE MOTIVATED AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES. THERE ARE NINE STYLES AND SUBSTYLES WITHIN THAT GROUP. THIS TOOL DATES TO PRE CHRISTIAN TIMES AND IS KNOWN AS SACRED WITH GEOMETRY, MYSTICAL JUDIASM AND OTHER MYSTICAL AND SPIRITUAL PATHS. IT IS 1000'S OF YEARS OLD. THE CHRISTIANS USED IT IN THE 3RD AND 4TH CENTURY. THEY SAW THAT VARIOUS FOLKS HAVE GIFTS THAT OTHERS DON'T AND BEGAN CATEGORIZING VARIOUS PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS.
THE STYLES ARE USED TO DETERMINE ONE'S PERSONALITY AS YOU ARE BORN. AS THE SPEAKER WAS EXPLAINING THE STYLES, MOST OF US GOT THAT WE FIT INTO ONE OR TWO STYLES. AND WE COULD SEE CHARACTERISTICS AND HOW WE RELATE TO THE WORLD AND THE OTHER FOLKS IN OUR WORLD. FOR INSTANCE WE ARE ALL BORN WITH SPECIAL GIFTS AND WE USE THEM MOST LIKELY FROM BIRTH SO WE HAVE SPECIAL PERSONALITY STYLES AND WAYS WE BECOME RESOURCEFUL. WE ALSO HAVE WAYS THAT ARE NON-RESOURCEFUL WHEN WE ARE UNDER STRESS. SHE DISCUSSED WHAT ANIMAL EACH ENNEAGRAM STYLE SYMBOLIZED AND BROUGHT A MODERN OBJECT TO HELP US
'GET' WHAT EACH STYLE SYMBOLIZES. THERE ARE THREE CENTERS THE HEAD CENTER, HEART CENTER AND GUT CENTER THAT DIRECTS US TO OUR WAY OF BEHAVING IN NORMAL SITUATIONS AS WELL AS UNDER STRESS. IF YOU WANT TO STUDY THE ENNEAGRAM DEEPER YOU CAN SEE HOW EACH OF THE NINE STYLES LIVE THEIR LIVES, WHAT THEY VALUE IN THEMSELVES AND IN OTHERS, AND WHAT FEARS THEY MAY HAVE, AND WHAT WAYS THEY SEEK JOY.
