15 The Enneagram And The Unawakened Personality.

The personality is not us but thoughts and emotions that we have created to get what we think we do not have. Because we are separated from our Being, we no longer fully experience true Love, Peace and Happiness. In order to try to regain Love, Peace and Happiness, we form an unhealthy getting machine called personality. The Enneagram describes the 9 ways we form this personality around hurt, fear, and anger. Seeing this we can, instead, form a healthy personality which flows from and expresses the qualities of our Being, love peace and joy. The Awakening meditation is a very helpful process for us reestablish our healthy natural flow from Being rather than from a separated mind.

Love seeing the personality as what I am not. I've been doing some investigation of the Enneagram lately, and... It's interesting to me to help me see why other people are doing what they are doing, where there energy is coming from and how to work with it, so that I don't feel threatened. However, it's challenging for me to finalize which number fits me best: 8? 7? 1? None are a perfect match... And I like realizing I don't necessarily need a perfect match - I just need to recognize my confusion/fear and soften it, and let go...

Personality as what we are not! Quite the flip. Reminds me of Gary Zukav saying to put your personality in service of your soul. Though I feel the soul still has a distinct individual nature vs Being which seems to be the same core qualities for all. Thank you for the insights of this journey and contemplation! 🙏🏼❤️

My glasses are red, green, and yellow all swirled up! I've thought if you only knew what's going on inside...my creative thoughts&emotions have super charged this personality. I never enjoyed those tests, didn't identify with me, however some theories give you new insight, awareness. Move in but not attach 🍂

Thank you for talking about the Enneagram. I have a friend that did that for my son and I and he’s very detail oriented, but I like what you said. we’re not our personality. Because in AA the 12th step says having had a spiritual awakening… And one definition of that is having a personality change.

question. When psychic mediums talk to spirits that have crossed over they will talk about somebody’s aunt Judy or somebody’s grandfather having a very distinct personality. Do you think at some level our soul has a personality?

Wow! I found that a great way to tie in the understanding of thoughts, emotions and behaviors (that are not us but we see through them) to the Enneagram. I have looked and looked at the Enneagram over the years but I can never settle on one personality type as mine. Sometimes I feel my type may be out of my awareness, like your shadow can be. I can’t tell which of my traits are most prominent. lol. Nonetheless, great talk, because the previous lecture jelled or gelled. Thank you!
