Enneagram Project 7/1/20

Welcome to the Enneagram Program! Before you begin, you should be aware that this program is not designed to assess your enneagram type. You should have some comfort with the enneagram before you begin. To learn more, see the bottom of the page. The purpose of this site is to help you ask self-reflective question that will aid in discernment about purpose and meaning. These questions are based around the different ego types of the Enneagram. When you begin, you are asked to select your type, the program will then immediately take you to the type that is your path of integration. With each personality type you will be lead on a kind of meditative journey that covers a span of one, three, and five years. The intention is to help you move towards more essential ways of thinking with each type. Although we all have one personality type that we have adopted as part of our means of getting through life, this type is not meant to be truly definitive, and can, in fact, prevent you from seeking out more meaningful pathways in life. Each type offers some wisdom that you might not noramlly encounter when following the direction of comfort and security in your life, thus you should consider each type as a welcome guest who knows something about you that you have, perhaps, not yet realized. Take the time to be honest and listen to what this wisdom is. At the end of the process when you have moved through all of the different types, including a path of integration through your wings, you will at last come "home" to the archetype that you most identify with in your life right now. You will then be offered the opportunity to submit your responses to people who are trained in the study of the enneagram. Their purpose is not to provide professional therapeutic or psychological advice, but rather to thoughtfully examine your responses for themes that might help you in further growth. If there is a specific question that brought you to this site, then you might include this in your response. A few tips. Although this can be used on your mobile device, if possible using a device with a larger screen and with less ease of distraction is advised. Give yourself ample time so that you can answer the questions without feeling rushed. Treat it like a mini-retreat. You might consider the environment in which you are utilizing this program. How can you make it as relaxing as possible? Finally, while answering the questions, if you wish to submit your reflections for the enneagram readers, then you will want to be using a program such as word or pages to record your thoughts so that you can then copy and paste them into the box at the end of the Enneagram program.

Type Seven <img src = https://i2.pickpik.com/photos/918/784/907/ape-monkey-animal-cute-preview.jpg> The life ahead of you is full of realities that will make your life worthwhile or will disintegrate you into an unrecognizable rendition of your truest self. By traveling in the space of enneagram Seven, you are exposed to the wonders of optimism and positivity as well as the distortions of ungrounded fantasy and over-indulgence. The choices you make are difficult because the pleasures of food, drink, sex, material objects, money and fun are seductive. But the wondrous beauty of a world seen with the clear and sober eyes of reality, is sublime. There is a conscious way to proceed at every stage, yet will you be able to sense the best course at each of life’s junctures? [[Five level 1 <-Integrate to Type Five]]

Type Five **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook. As you look into the stream, notice how it runs swiftly past. Leaves float quickly by, small fish caught in the currents swim, circle, and dart. The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Looking at yourself in a year, how have you engaged with life? What are the things that you turned away from because they might be too demanding of your precious time? What do your relationships look like? Have you made close friends or romantic partners or did you find they needed too much from you and so retreated into yourself? How have you substituted pursuit of knowledge or expertise for human relationships? Have you found a way to develop your spirituality or does that seem irrational and it is better to focus on things that have answers? [[Five level 2<-Proceed Forward to Three Years]]

Type Five **In Three Years** <img src = https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/images/Main-Road-Trees.png > Leaving the stream, you now enter a path that moves through a forest filled with ancient trees. These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. In the three years that pass on this wooded road, what have you found the ability to commit to? Who are the sort of people that you have allowed into your inner circle? What are you doing to be more accessible and vulnerable and not use your knowledge or your self-sufficiency to keep people out? How do you view your money? Is it something that you can use for enjoyment and enrichment of yourself and others or is it something that you must save all that you can? Have you been aware of when you hoard(the things or concepts that are precious to you) versus freely give?Have you found a spiritual path that leaves you comfortable with the mysterious? How have you begun to find confidence in yourself to speak out and help others? [[Five level 3<-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Type Eight **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook. As you look into the stream, notice how it runs swiftly past. Leaves float quickly by, small fish caught in the currents swim, circle, and dart. The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Looking into the future within a year’s time, what shows up for you as evidence of your emerging independence? Where are you in command? In relationships do you trust those who are blindly loyal to you or those who challenge you? How are you dealing with anger and its eruptions in your life? How are you allowing feedback in your life? Do you get further along in life through love or intimidation? [[Eight level 2<-Proceed Forward to Three Years]]

These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. Looking down this pathway, seeing its distance, twists, and turns, and massive tree canopy, reflect on your movement through the next three years of your life. Who are the most important people in your life and why? Spiderman’s Uncle said “with great power comes great responsibility.” You have already found ways that your great power gets you what you want. What are the things you are doing with your power to benefit those you work with, those in your community, and those you are close to? What does money really mean to you and are you driven by how money maintains control or protection? What and whom can use more of your strength and compassion? In what ways are you expanding in mentality from “me/them and us/them” to “all of us”? [[Eight level 3<-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Type Two **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook. As you look into the stream, notice how it runs swiftly past. Leaves float quickly by, small fish caught in the currents swim, circle, and dart. The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. In the stream you catch the glimpses of your life in the coming year. Look at your actions and choices. How in this time are you looking out for other's needs and actively trying to meet them. With your friends and your community are you constantly thinking of the best birthday parties and gifts, remembering each little detail and celebration, and always making people feel welcome? Are you doing this to make them need you and are you afraid that people might reject you if you aren't always taking care of these things? How does your work life and community engagement reflect your desire to serve others? What are the ways that you are choosing work and social activities where you find yourself not necessarily in charge but still at the center because you are so good at anticipating what people will want? What are you doing to prevent from slipping into sadness and anger when these things aren't working? How do you engage spiritually? Do you consider spiritual practices to be primarily rooted in your giving and attentiveness to others? [[Two level 2<-Proceed Forward to Three Years]]

Type Two **In Three Years** <img src = https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/images/Main-Road-Trees.png > Leaving the stream, you now enter a path that moves through a forest filled with ancient trees. These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. The road moves through deep woods that can make you at times feel alone over the next three years. It might be that some of your friends have begun to see that the thoughtfulness that you always express is not always strictly selfless and that you are exerting some control over people as well as having expectations (that you don't always communicate) from them in return. What can you do to try and move away from this drive to anticipate everyone's needs? Are you drawing close to people in relationships because of their need for you? How are you finding that your relationships, both platonic and romantic, can be based on mutual exchange? In your work how do you see yourself getting what you want while saying you don't have needs? Is your money going to other people while you are silently suffering? How are you recognizing and expressing your own needs? What spiritual practice can you undertake that helps you know that you are loved and that abundance depends more on something deeper than just trying to always give to and serve others? [[Two level 3 <-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Type Two **In Five Years** <img src = "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/05/02/17/26/cloud-4174061_960_720.jpg"> Emerging from the woods there is nothing but openness before. We are looking five years from now at who you will be. The fears that defined that first year have to pass away as they hold you down. It is hard to know who you will be in five years but hopefully your path through the woods has helped you to get closer to the truth of who you are called to be. Now, instead of walking on the earth you must float above to try and get some sense of your life. Leaving behind the sense of imperfection, find yourself to be free. As you drift upwards and look back to yourself in five years, take a moment to love who you see. Over the past five years, what has opened your eyes to the role that pride played in your own generosity and thoughtfulness? In this time how have you learned that you have very real feelings and needs and that you now know how to express them? Look at your relationships and your work or vocation. Make a note of how you balance your needs with others and how you find ways to be authentic to your goodness. How do you see that the false humility of service to others has been replaced by an awareness of all that you bring to others that make the world more special and beautiful? How do you now find peace in not filling your life with other's needs or projects and learn through connection with your spiritual practice to take care of and tend to yourself first? What helps you to see and love yourself so that you can see and love others? How have you discovered the freedom in your actions that comes from the overflow of your own soul when its needs are met? [[Four level 1<-Integrate to Type Four]]

Type Four **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook. As you look into the stream, notice how it runs swiftly past. Leaves float quickly by, small fish caught in the currents swim, circle, and dart. The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Over the course of that year, what are you afraid of missing out on? Are you afraid of missing out because you feel you aren’t good enough? Do you have good friends and relationships or are you looking for that one person who “gets” who you are? At the end of this year have you begun to find ways structure your life towards realizing your creative ambitions or do you find that you want to be free with no plans to better suit your creative side? How are you looking for spiritual practices that can move you through beauty but also reveal helpful truths about yourself? [[Four level 2<-Proceed Forward to Three Years]]

Type Four **In Three Years** <img src = https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/images/Main-Road-Trees.png > Leaving the stream, you now enter a path that moves through a forest filled with ancient trees. These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. The four is often driven by a longing for something that is missing, a desire to be completed by a person or a perfect life situation. The artistic side of the four desires freedom from the normal constraints of life. But this walk through the woods reveals that those are illusions that could lead you off this path where you could get more easily lost among the trees. This could be good for a time but it is not the pattern for a life. In the three years of this path, putting aside the desire to find the one perfect piece that completes you, look at your relationships. Have you made the choices that let you be vulnerable and authentic without exhausting your friends and loves, and are you able to commit to them even if the going gets touch and they aren’t always your ideal? Have you found work that you consider meaningful even if it doesn’t make you special? How are you taking care of your money - do you spend it constantly on perfect things or on your friends or are you taking better care with it? What is your spiritual community and ritual practice? Are you trying to find something that speaks to your inmost truth and authenticity or are you able to allow for the messiness that comes when humans and spirituality intersect?

Type One **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook. As you look into the stream, notice how it runs swiftly past. Leaves float quickly by, small fish caught in the currents swim, circle, and dart. The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. As you step into the water and feel its movement, you begin reflecting on your life’s trajectory. Thinking about where you will be a year from now, ponder these questions and respond. What is your focus? Are you looking for educational development? Are you finding a career path? Do you see yourself with a steady support system of friends and family? Do you see yourself as independent and capable? Do you take most things, if not everything, very seriously? How do you view the spiritual world and your place within it?

These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. Looking at your life among these trees that are so majestic and full of history, reflect on the vision of the next three years of your life. Many times, Ones are driven toward demands of flawlessness. Do you see this manifesting in your life? Is it helpful or is it harmful? When the push for being good and right brings internal frustration, are you able to see your unrealistic expectations of being perfect? How are your relationships? Do those closest to you view you as rigid and controlling or compassionate,playful, supportive, and vulnerable? How are you involved with advocacy for all? Do you have a spiritual community that challenges and accepts you simultaneously? [[One level 3<-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Type One **In Five Years** <img src = "https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/05/02/17/26/cloud-4174061_960_720.jpg"> Emerging from the woods there is nothing but openness before.

Now, instead of walking on the earth you must float above to try and get some sense of your life. Leaving behind the sense of imperfection, find yourself to be free. As you reflect on the next five years as an objective observer from above, your quest to be “the best person” is so much less important because you are seeing how it entraps you rather than expands you. Walking through this brief journey has allowed your perception to widen from right versus wrong, black versus white, and either/or thinking, to a widened view of the whole of life -- each person, each place, each creature -- and your connection with them all. What are you involved with in the community that promotes just treatment for all? What reveals to you your soul’s joy, and now in retrospect what has veiled the joy? Do you have a work-life balance that reflects your values and commitments while making room for play? How are the things that you admire about yourself reflections of growth points rather than failures? Where are you investing your time, talents, and finances? How do you utilize spiritual disciplines to release frustrations to continually shift your perception from inner critic to compassionate companion? [[Six level 1<-Go to Six Wing]]

Six Wing **In One Year** <img src = https://c0.wallpaperflare.com/preview/212/100/992/stream-creek-scenic-nature.jpg> You find yourself on the banks of a running brook.

The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Over the course of the coming year, what are your fears? What do you think will devour you, cast you out of the group, or make you feel deviant, unacceptable? Do you anticipate finding that authority figure who will guide you and protect you or will you hide from your fears by being a hesitant person hidden in the group? Will you be ridden with self-doubt regarding your decisions, or will you find your own voice and have the confidence to stand by your decisions? What spiritual practices will you embrace that ground you and let you know that you are not defective but worthy, strong, and faithful? [[Six level 2<-Progress Forward to Three Years]]

These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. The Six is motivated by security and loyalty. Yet this walk through these dense woods over the next three years reveals that perfect security cannot be found. In this time you learn you can’t anticipate every danger. What can you do spiritually that grounds you in a higher power and gives you hope in something beyond your own fears? Do you make your security or do you find it in your spiritual practice? What are the things that still lead you to disintegrate into anxiety and fearfulness? Are you close to people because they are supportive or because you are blindly loyal to them? Do you choose work that allows you to find autonomy and independence or have you made yourself the “boss’s pet”? Does all of your money go towards insurance and your security or can you find a balance between your needs and the things that bring you joy? What can you do to take a risk on relationships, knowing that sometimes people will betray you and perhaps even make you feel abandoned? How are you learning to trust in your own loving-kindness? [[Six level 3<-Progress Forward to Five Years]]

How have you become aware that you ARE made of the spiritual gifts of surrender, redemption, loving-kindness and self-forgiveness? In your work/vocation, what are the ways that you are secure in your self-affirmation and confident in your decisions so that you don’t exhaust yourself on a hamster wheel of illusory success, or to rely on an alpha figure to protect or control you?Are you able to enjoy your relationships without fear of abandonment? What are you proud of about your life and what makes you excited about your realized inner strength? [[Nine level 1<-Integrate to Type Nine]]

The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Over the coming year, how do you assess the way you’ve handled conflict? Have you fought hard to get to the root of problems and objectively heard both sides? Or have you ignored major warning signs within a negative situation, in order to keep your head held high as an effective peacekeeper? How are you learning to not sacrifice your needs and wants for the sake of peace and stability? Are you satisfied with what your life looks like at this point in time, and are you allowing yourself to be revealed in your relationships? Do you feel there is something missing in your life, but you do not know how to obtain it? What are the ways you numb yourself when challenges and risks present themselves?

Over the next three years, how will your peacemaking abilities develop in your work and in your personal life? When a troubling situation arises in your workplace, will you bring people together to resolve the conflict while keeping in mind your own needs? How does being an effective mediator help your relationships progress?Do you find the need to maintain the facade of “everything is going smoothly” even when it isn’t so, or allow people to walk all over you? Will your easy going demeanor be an effective resource in your pursuit of expanding your social network, or do you fall into the trap of merging your identity with others while denying your own value? In what ways does your demeanor influence managing your finances? How does your spiritual practice help you maintain balance and connect with different people?

Over the course of the coming year, as you reflect, what is your definition of success? What steps have you made to create your own identity? Do you use your charisma to motivate others and build authentic relationships? Or do you use it for self-promotion? Do you have a spiritual mentor/director whom you trust to hold you accountable? To what and whom are you interested in making long-term commitments? [[Three level 2<-Proceed Forward to Three Years]]

Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. Reflecting on the landscape of trees and a more winding pathway through the forest, think of your next three years. Where do you see yourself living and with whom, if anyone? How are you connecting with people and do any of these relationships go beyond a surface level of usefulness to you or them? Have you found a role where you feel effective as a team member or leader in the workplace? In the community? Do you have a spiritual practice that puts you in touch with something greater than you? How are you sharing and receiving hope and truth with others in your life? How have these things prepared you for reality checks and failures? How do you feel when people hold a mirror to your life and you do not like what you see? [[Three level 3<-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. In the next three years you will ache for more and more, thinking that more will satisfy your insatiable desire for bliss. At the same time, what are you doing to be OK with leaving behind the indulgences and excuses of youth and—if they have done this for you—your family’s support? How are you coping with loss, anger, sadness, frustration, and that life sometimes just stinks? How can you learn to see that death and endings are part of birth and beginnings?How are you expressing commitment in love and in friendship? Will you experience others as playmates or as solid friends who tell you the truth? [[Seven level 3<-Proceed Forward to Five Years]]

Your experience on this leg of the journey will be one of deepening and ripening in your true nature. What are the things that you do now that help you turn away from the addictive choices and substances that anesthetize you to pain? In your work/vocation and in your friendships, what have you done to put you solidly on a path of growth and to leave behind myths that youth and childhood were the truly happy times? Have you found that love with another person can have its own joy that doesn’t need the constant buzz of something new? If being a parent is an option, are you ready for the wonder of a new life rather than a new experience that is about your own pleasure? The joy of Seven is born of amalgamating ourselves with divine wisdom and the life’s work rooted in that wisdom. This alignment does not avoid pain but comprehends pain’s purpose and thereby brings the spirit joy and hope even in pain. What about you now is inspiring in how you have achieved this alignment? How have you found comfort in solitude and reflection?

Type Six <img src = https://www.nps.gov/articles/images/white-tailed-deer_resized_1.jpg?maxwidth=1200&maxheight=1200&autorotate=false> As you travel your life ahead, you have many signposts along the way. But the best ones are those that define your hopes and fears and point you in the best direction. By traveling with the Enneagram Six you will find the inner need for strength and faith to face your fears. You want to be sure of your decisions, but will you vacillate in self-doubt or will you be confident of your decisions? Also, you will find Point Six to be full of community and the sense of being held by others. Even though here you may question the motives of others and project your own fears upon them, as you discern Six energy, you will embrace more and more of your own authority as you find it from within.

Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Looking at yourself in a year, how have you engaged with life? What are the things that you turned away from because they might be too demanding of your precious time? What do your relationships look like? Have you made close friends or romantic partners or did you find they needed too much from you and so retreated into yourself? How have you substituted pursuit of knowledge or expertise for human relationships? Have you found a way to develop your spirituality or does that seem irrational and it is better to focus on things that have answers? [[Five Wing level 2<-Progress Forward to Three Years]]

Will you be ridden with self-doubt regarding your decisions, or will you find your own voice and have the confidence to stand by your decisions?

Type Six **In Three Years** <img src = https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/images/Main-Road-Trees.png > Leaving the stream, you now enter a path that moves through a forest filled with ancient trees. These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. The Six is motivated by security and loyalty. Yet this walk through these dense woods over the next three years reveals that perfect security cannot be found. In this time you learn you can’t anticipate every danger. What can you do spiritually that grounds you in a higher power and gives you hope in something beyond your own fears? Do you make your security or do you find it in your spiritual practice? What are the things that still lead you to disintegrate into anxiety and fearfulness? Are you close to people because they are supportive or because you are blindly loyal to them? Do you choose work that allows you to find autonomy and independence or have you made yourself the “boss’s pet”? Does all of your money go towards insurance and your security or can you find a balance between your needs and the things that bring you joy? What can you do to take a risk on relationships, knowing that sometimes people will betray you and perhaps even make you feel abandoned? How are you learning to trust in your own loving-kindness?

What are the things that you do now that help you turn away from the addictive choices and substances that anesthetize you to pain? In your work/vocation and in your friendships, what have you done to put you solidly on a path of growth and to leave behind myths that youth and childhood were the truly happy times? Have you found that love with another person can have its own joy that doesn’t need the constant buzz of something new? If being a parent is an option, are you ready for the wonder of a new life rather than a new experience that is about your own pleasure? The joy of Seven is born of amalgamating ourselves with divine wisdom and the life’s work rooted in that wisdom. This alignment does not avoid pain but comprehends pain’s purpose and thereby brings the spirit joy and hope even in pain. What about you now is inspiring in how you have achieved this alignment?

In the three years of this path, putting aside the desire to find the one perfect piece that completes you, look at your relationships. Have you made the choices that let you be vulnerable and authentic without exhausting your friends and loves, and are you able to commit to them even if the going gets touch and they aren’t always your ideal? Have you found work that you consider meaningful even if it doesn’t make you special? How are you taking care of your money - do you spend it constantly on perfect things or on your friends or are you taking better care with it? What is your spiritual community and ritual practice?

The two is the point of thoughtfulness and compassion. The two represents generosity, thoughtfulness, and hospitality. This type is uniquely gifted at recognizing the gifts of others and making them feel grateful for them while also being able to see and often successfully meet the needs of others. The two is that part of all of us that worries about being accepted and so tries to create situations where others need us. The two also represents the shadow of using thoughtfulness and helping as a defense. It's hard to reject someone who is always so considerate. This thoughtfulness can become a weapon as the two masks their own ego and desire control behind a facade of helpfulness that often leaves people feeling indebted to them.It might seem counterintuitive because the Two is so giving and thoughtful but pride is the major danger with this type: pride in self and being the source of abundance. It is worth keeping that in mind as we journey with the Two. [[fOUR level 1<-Integrate to Type Four]]

The current moves around and over rocks, creating the soft sounds of running water. Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. As you step into the water and feel its movement, you begin reflecting on your life’s trajectory. Thinking about where you will be a year from now, ponder these questions and respond. What is your focus? Are you looking for educational development? Are you finding a career path? Do you see yourself with a steady support system of friends and family? Do you see yourself as independent and capable? Do you take most things, if not everything, very seriously? How do you view the spiritual world and your place within it?

Type One <img src = https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/08/09/18/22/heath-the-bumble-bee-3595161_960_720.jpg> As you reflect on your life - your hopes, dreams, aspirations - you will be receiving spiritual truth and wisdom from the enneagram one. One-ness is exactly what it says - the realization of the wholeness and perfect unity of all things as they are at that specific moment by the perfect design of the Divine. The pitfall of Ones comes when they are trapped in perfection by doing rather than being. The fears of being - being bad or wrong - can override the general beauty and acceptance of seeing things as a whole and turn the focus to only character defects. Let’s explore how the One can speak to your specific journey of Holy Growth and Holy Perfection, rather than flawlessness. [[SeVeN level 1<-Integrate to Type Seven]]

Over the course of that year, what are you afraid of missing out on? Are you afraid of missing out because you feel you aren’t good enough? Do you have good friends and relationships or are you looking for that one person who “gets” who you are? At the end of this year have you begun to find ways to structure your life towards realizing your creative ambitions or do you find that you want to be free with no plans to better suit your creative side?

Putting your feet into the water you catch your reflection in the sun and suddenly realize you can see your life move forward into the coming year. Over the coming year, how do you assess the way you’ve handled conflict? Have you fought hard to get to the root of problems and objectively heard both sides? Or have you ignored major warning signs within a negative situation, in order to keep your head held high as an effective peacekeeper? How are you learning to not sacrifice your needs and wants for the sake of peace and stability? Are you satisfied with what your life looks like at this point in time, and are you allowing yourself to be revealed in your relationships? Do you feel there is something missing in your life, but you do not know how to obtain it? What are the ways you numb yourself when challenges and risks present themselves?

Nine Wing **In Three Years** <img src = https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/images/Main-Road-Trees.png > Leaving the stream, you now enter a path that moves through a forest filled with ancient trees. These trees have seen many others walk this way as well. The path goes on and on. Just as in the stream you saw a year go quickly by, now as you walk you find yourself experiencing your life spread out over three years. Over the next three years, how will your peacemaking abilities develop in your work and in your personal life? When a troubling situation arises in your workplace, will you bring people together to resolve the conflict while keeping in mind your own needs? How does being an effective mediator help your relationships progress?Do you find the need to maintain the facade of “everything is going smoothly” even when it isn’t so, or allow people to walk all over you? Will your easy going demeanor be an effective resource in your pursuit of expanding your social network, or do you fall into the trap of merging your identity with others while denying your own value? In what ways does your demeanor influence managing your finances? How does your spiritual practice help you maintain balance and connect with different people?

We are looking five years from now at who you will be. The fears that defined that first year have to pass away as they hold you down. It is hard to know who you will be in five years but hopefully your path through the woods has helped you to get closer to the truth of who you are called to be. Now, instead of walking on the earth you must float above to try and get some sense of your life. Leaving behind the sense of imperfection, find yourself to be free. In five years’ time where do you see true harmony and personal fulfillment in your life? What inspires you most about the way you’ve been able to connect with others and mediate conflict? What passions and people are you most committed to, and what have you done to feel fully in tune with yourself and your community? Are you seeking more positions of leadership, while balancing your independence with your desire to maintain group unity? What value are you bringing to others around you, and what impact is your patient and accepting demeanor having on those closest to you?

The Eight uses strength to care for the weak and vulnerable. When the Eight falls into the trap of their concept of justice they can become overpowering. Their fear of being weak can produce aggressive arrogance instead of the compassion they truly long to show. We will explore how the Eight can speak to your future through its pursuit of truth and compassion. [[TWo level 1<-Integrate to Type Two]]

Type Nine <img src = https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/01/01/20/11/humpback-whale-1945416_960_720.jpg> We are now receiving wisdom from the Nine, which rests at the top of the Enneagram and thus giving it a unique gift for understanding and connecting with all the other personality types. For this reason the nine can be a skilled mediator and peacemaker. The nine also reflects that part of all of us that simply wants to get on a raft and float away from troubles. The nine's gift at mediating conflict can become a shadow side when this desire for harmony is used deny one's own worth and to minimize or even ignore conflict in order to disappear from the struggle. Comfort and retreat can take precedence over finding their own self value. [[Three Lev1<-Integrate to Type Three]]

Many times, Ones are driven toward demands of flawlessness. Do you see this manifesting in your life? Is it helpful or is it harmful? When the push for being good and right brings internal frustration, are you able to see your unrealistic expectations of being perfect? How are your relationships? Do those closest to you view you as rigid and controlling or compassionate,playful, supportive, and vulnerable? How are you involved with advocacy for all?

As you reflect on the next five years as an objective observer from above, your quest to be “the best person” is so much less important because you are seeing how it entraps you rather than expands you. Walking through this brief journey has allowed your perception to widen from right versus wrong, black versus white, and either/or thinking, to a widened view of the whole of life -- each person, each place, each creature -- and your connection with them all. What are you involved with in the community that promotes just treatment for all? What reveals to you your soul’s joy, and now in retrospect what has veiled the joy? Do you have a work-life balance that reflects your values and commitments while making room for play? How are the things that you admire about yourself reflections of growth points rather than failures? Where are you investing your time, talents, and finances? How do you utilize spiritual disciplines to release frustrations to continually shift your perception from inner critic to compassionate companion? [[Seven LEV 1<-Integrate to Type Seven]]
