  Enneagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While some believe that current research does not support the Enneagram's validity (especially regarding the concepts of Wings and the Stress and Security Points), others believe that because of its complex and 'spiritual' nature the Enneagram typology cannot be accurately evaluated by conventional empirical methods.
Enneagram and uses both the 12 and 9 divisions of the circle as an Integral Yoga which she presents an approach to understanding the evolution of consciousness.
In her work the Zero figures into the Enneagram, holding the same place as the 9 point at the top of the circle and she sets the numbers flowing in a counter-clockwise direction, following the direction of the planets around the sun and the astrological signs around the Zodiac.

 Thoughts on the Enneagram
The enneagram itself is barely discussed, although several of the enneagram figures, including the enneagram of fixations, were included with the article.
What I believe a deeper study of the enneagram suggests, however, is that there is always a correspondence between any intelligible ninefold, that is, three by three, system, and the law of seven or the law of the octave, even if this relationship is secondary or apparently non obvious.
One question that must soon be asked in the context of the study of 'vibrations' in relation to the enneagram and the law of the octave as Gurdjieff applies it further in his "Ray of Creation" and his "Three octaves of radiation" which becomes the foundation for his view of both man and the world.

 Properties of the Enneagram
What instead was characteristic of Gurdjieff's presentation of the enneagram was that he described it as a symbol relating the law of the triad (law of three) to the law of the octave (law of seven).
In the representation of the enneagram, the first of these 'gaps' is suggested by the apex of the internal triangle (representative of the 'law of the triad') at point 3.
When the enneagram is used as a symbol against which to cast the system of personality or ego types, clearly the ideal is the self that is fluid in all points of the enneagram, one that is able to move freely to all points.

 A BRIEF REPORT ON THE ORIGINS OF THE ENNEAGRAM
While Gurdjieff considered the enneagram to contain the key to knowledge of all that is in the cosmos, it was Ichazo in the 1960s who first developed a theory of nine personality types corresponding to the nine points of the enneagram.
Many enneagram teachers believe that he learned the enneagram from Sufi mystics, though in saying this they do not necessarily mean to deny that the enneagram could be older, since the Sufis themselves are reputed to pass down forms of wisdom that are older than their own school.
The desire of the cosmos to return to the unity of the Absolute is represented by the division of one by three and by seven, thus yielding the repeating decimals that are at the basis of the enneagram.

The roots of the Enneagram are in the mystical wings of all sacred traditions.
Dante has a list of the seven capital vices, including advice, the generic spiritual perspective that once you discover your type or vice, the whole point of it is to convert it to its opposite tendency.
I think [the Enneagram] is here because we need it, on a global basis, to take more responsibility for our thoughts and emotions and to consider, deeply, how to stand in someone else's shoes, and see the decision or the event from very different sets of eyes and see the validity of it.

Enneagram teachers who recommend that students return to this essence rarely understand what Gurdjieff meant, but his words make it clear that he did not have a Christian sense of God.
Remember that this inner dynamic of the six-point figure and of the triangle is based on the numerology of dividing seven into one or three into one, a dynamic rooted in occultism and divination.
The enneagram practitioners, and anyone tempted to take their courses, must become aware that their doctrine must conform to Scripture and (at least in the view of the Catholic, but also to a lesser extent for many Protestants) church teaching.

 Enneagram Types: The Epicure
Point Seven, the third member of the fear triad of Five, Six and Seven is known as the Epicure or the Generalist and sometimes has been called the Adventurer.
The Seven, unlike the Five who usually withdraws inward into the freeing and fascinating world of the mind, often moves outward to taste the many fascinating and sometimes adventurous ways of engaging life in its many manifestations.
But the Seven's activity is in the context of the fun or fascination to be derived from the immediate experience while the mind is planning the next.

The work of the enneagram authors is plainly unscientific and without rational foundation, because it is based on dogmatic formulations as opposed to the Arica system, which under any measure is logical and scientific and is based on rational metaphysical propositions and ultimate theological truth.
It is believed by some teachers of the enneagram that Gurdjieff learned the enneagram from Sufi masters, and that he was trained in the mystical arts not only of Sufism but of the cabala and Zen.
Palmer says that the "Enneagram is a psychological and spiritual system with roots in ancient traditions." She types people by fundamental weakness or sin: anger, pride, envy, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth, fear, and deceit.

Sevens use their mental intelligence to create a positive spin on life by coming up with various utopian possibilities about how things could be.
Robin Williams is a well-known Seven, and his character in the movie Dead Poets Society is an excellent example of this.
By regularly imagining how things can be good or made better, Sevens tend to be very optimistic, and their optimism gives them the confidence to assert themselves in the world, going after whatever it is they want.

For the Sarmounis the enneagram was important as a means of divination to foretell future events as well as a tool to represent life processes, such as personal transformation.
Through these two figures inside the enneagram circle, each based on the decimals of three into one and seven into one, Gurdjieff was able to manifest the great numerological laws of the three and the seven.
Gurdjieff taught that the enneagram has the power to reveal the "timeless" aspect of any cosmic process, since the enneagram is a symbol of the cosmos (i.e., the universe itself is ordered according to the same numerical arrangement as the enneagram).

When the MBTI designation and the Enneagram type are highly compatible, such as the "J" and the Three and the "P" and the Seven, the result is more than just internal harmony and congruence.
