Enneagram Book

I already know this is going to be a hotly controversial post. Many people disagree and argue about the originals of the Enneagram of Personality.

I don’t pretend to know where the Enneagram started or how it developed. I’m just happy to be contributing to it’s study now.

However, despite the fact that what I’m about to share is almost certainly factually incorrect, The Myth of the Sufi Enneagram explains a bit about what the Enneagram is in a story. I don’t know where I first heard this myth- but its been oft repeated.

“Many hundreds and hundreds of years ago, there were a group of people who wanted to discover the mental chatter that kept them seperate from God.

The material world had given them little lasting peace or joy, so they banded together and went out into the desert to find out more clearly without the distractions of the world.

As each person spent most of their time alone in mediation, they began to see the worries, thoughts, excitements, and anxieties that interfered with their experience of the Devine… much like a cloud interferring with one’s experience of sunshine.

Over years of documenting these experiences, there began to arise similarities between the students. Slowly, the group of conceptualized nine distinct “types” of personalities or ways that your mind operates.

Now, with the help of this body of knowledge, it is more easy than ever to find your type, or your FIXATION, and overcome your concious attachment to personality and experience the Divine more easily.”
