All human kind should know enneagram, to work better, more peacefull and more efficiently. Thank for video!
I literally unthinkingly groaned and put my hands over my face when he started talking about 4s and how the get energy from tragedy and being depressed. When he says you’ll be embarrassed when you hear your type described he’s not kidding wow.
He doesn’t like 4’s. Someone here in he comments said some deep and v interesting things about 4’s. Sorry don’t remember name, but he mentioned ‘4’s HOLD the emotions others can’t or won’t… ‘ at the beginning of his comment.
I'm a 9. My mother was a badly wounded 4. I'm not blaming her for my mistakes, but finally in my old age I just now realized that her insistence that I learn to "make polite conversation" (starting about a week after my first word 😁) didn’t work out as she had hoped. Conversation, polite or otherwise, is such a struggle that it's never long before I'm invisible. Best part: I can stop beating up on myself for being a "failure". Thank you Fr. Rohr!! 👍
That was a very pleasant and informative lecture. 4's however, HOLD the emotions that others in a group or family don't or CAN'T handle - it's too complex to go into here - They also are able to "size-up" what is MISSING in any given situation (like this one) which can be an invaluable asset. 4's were the shamans and medicine men and HEALERS in olden times and can be today also. We have a "radar" for the bandwith of human dynamics that completely escape other types. I enjoyed this excellent lecture - but it was very obvious that it was from a 1's perspective!😊
Bravo for your assessment on 4! You added much to my basic understanding of 4. We are the scapegoats for the family. We are often envied and not always envious of others. Now I know I’m a 4, not a 6. I think he’s right about USA being a 3, but I see no 6 as universal in us all since I feel this realm was created to produce fear. And to me, religion is fear-based. That’s my two cents worth.

I'm sure I (and many of us) could make remarks about all the numbers/types but this one struck me in the heart. I have to say something because I get so tired of people being demonized (I know he's just giving the perspective of the number, not saying he believes this way). Regarding his remarks on Ones not respecting people who "don't work hard", there should be some clarity here that those remarks refer to the One's narrow definition of hard work rather than an objective definition of hard work. My comment is for the Ones who are not yet flipped to their more enlightened side. Frankly, many of the people being looked down upon by all the self-proclaimed "hard workers" actually work much harder than what they are given credit for. I've never seen a more hard-working group of people than Mexicans who routinely are demonized as lazy. It's just wrong. If you don't think a person on food stamps works hard, then you have never watched them in their low-paying work that you certainly would not do. You have never sat down to have a soul to soul talk with them to understand how hard it feels for them. Telling someone they "don't work hard" often arrogantly and erroneously negates the very real and legitimate emotional, mental and physical hard work they are doing every day that you Ones refuse to acknowledge.
I'm a Type 2! An interesting take on these Enneagram types! Thanks for sharing to inspire my MBTI channel. Randomly discovered your channel through the TH-cam algorithm! 🤟🤟🤟
I hate how fours are inclined to be narcissistic. This is the one thing I've always struggled with and the one thing that makes me afraid to interact with people.
Just wanted to give a heads up to everyone about typing yourself. In this video Richard says that if you don't know your type at the end you are either a 6 or a 9. That wasn't the case for me. At first I typed as a 6. Later realized only bits of that described me. Then with suggestions of others I tried 4. That didn't work because I was too bitter and cynical towards others, so then I tried 8. I am a lot like an 8 cynical, bitter, defensive, but alas, I am not an 8. I am just a really unhealthy 2 that looks like an 8 on the outside but I have the core fear of a 2. I just couldn't admit it until I was put into a situation that shone a light on my 2ness. I cried for a long time after I found out I was a 2. I am pretty convinced. So just keep in mind you may mistype a few times so don't quickly attach onto one type as it may be a bodyguard for your real core type. For 2s when they are unhealthy or stress they basically become 8s. Each type has a type that they mimic when they are healthy and unhealthy. Please keep that in mind
@@Kayla-me3ct When unhealthy they will appear like the type they disintegrate into. For 2s that would be 8. You can look up disintegration and integration online it is a common part of the theory. Personally, I, and other enthusiasts also believe that you integrate and disintegrate into two types rather than one, and as far as I know this is not conventional knowledge to the theory but it seems to be a theme I am noticing in people and characters I have typed. Another theme I've noticed is that the wing (or wings if balanced) are like a mask for the core type since it is what fulfill the main type you will be seeing traits of the wings more than the type itself. (So for me I am a 2w1 and I come across more 1-ish, but I also have 1 in my tritype) Lastly, I don't think Richard Rohr went into this in the lecture but we have 3 fixes or "types". And one core type. Each fix has to be taken from 3 sections. First section is gut which would be 8, 9, or 1. Second is heart 2, 3, or 4 and third is head 5, 6, or 7. They also have wings and they are often more noticeable than the core type as well which can cause confusion
@@kurichanmichele584 It is extremely complex. It has been about 6 months and I am still trying to understand it but I understand it much better than I did before. If you are having trouble I suggest joining the free social media app/site called the personality database. It is a small community where we debate and vote on types using various systems (such as enneagram and mbti among a few others) the site is also amazingly well organized and updated with new feature about weekly. It is run by an ISTJ 9w1, super honest chill guy. And volunteer mods. Would have given up by now if it wasn't for this community
@@ThoughtProvokingVlogswow, this is deep waters and rather Scorpio esoteric and complex ! Appreciate the sm app you recommended. I’m an astrologer and use the cards of destiny and know about mbti somewhat. Thank you.
This man is CLEARLY fawning over 1’s and 3’s (he is a 1-3-8 himself). Punctuated within his grandiose descriptions of 1 and 3 are the less complimentary descriptions of 1 and 3 but then quickly finds a grandiose complimentary notion to follow up with. He is sooooo much harsher to 2’s! I loved his 1.5 hours introduction on another video and have had a 360 degree turnaround about him since hearing this I think Beatrice Chestnut has a MUCH more accurate overview of the personalities
When he’s asked about 2’s positives he says done half hearted remarks that sound unconvincing quickly followed by the negative. Yet he dwells lengthily on 1 and 3’s positives!- the numbers he identifies with !!
I felt this in my SOUL. A lot of what he described about the 4 really just didn't sit with me at all. Eccentric, showy, all that... not me. Started feeling like I didn't _have_ a type (bc 4 is by far the closest). But the bittersweet, the longing, the love of tragedy and death - absolutely.
@@RenneAtha same! Like, I don’t like to stand out honestly - I prefer to blend in. Not that I want to be like everyone else though, I just want my uniqueness to be subtle

Lol, agree.. this vid popped up on my feed as I had been looking at a vid about Gurdjieff and his enneagram model. He (G) was the originator, and was not religious or using it for personality assessment.
He was very soft on the 3s 😄 but i love this talk, Richard is a very deep thinker, even when he seems to dislike 4s a lot. Also, i believe i'm the only 4 who really doesn't care about his looks. I wasted to much time and money on those things that are just superficial. As long as my art expresses, what i feel, i'm fine
4w5 and I adore many aspects of Japan X'D, I've spent some time in France. Thankfully I've got tragedy in check and I love to blend in. It's just that the moment I open my mouth I'll end myself up in the center of attention, silently cursing, because it's nice to be useful but hard to not quickly become overwhelmed and start missing seclusion 😂 And yes it's definitely hard to be productive "out there". If anyone asked and worked some magic for me, I'd gladly have someone "in here" to carry outside what I distill. And/or who is available "out there" so that I could comfortably get some things moving with others while being able to withdraw to portable safe spaces/people for recharging. Well, I love my life this way, too, though. With all the things that don't work out "to their best possible way" yet. 😁
I have a hard time with type 1s. Not an easy type to be friends with if they are unhealthy. I run away from type 1s and if I can’t physically distance I will emotionally distance.
Thank you so much for your insightful lecture! I find it amusing being type 1 with a name that means 'grace'. My parents were originally going to name me something else, but it's as if they received divine inspiration to change my name. Something to live up to. :) I'm very angry because my well-researched and carefully packaged teachings and advice have been ignored for decades. My example doesn't seem to make a difference. I just don't know what to live for anymore...
Is it possible that threes can be a result of a child realizing very early on that they had a way with words. So they were able to talk their way into or out of anything?
I took it as more of an intellectual androgyny...I'm a 4 - no mistaking my physical gender, but I do identify the strong feminine qualities of my thinking.
This whole "1s are usually worn out by 9" thing explains so much about my ex boyfriend He'd have to vent about his job first & maybe see a movie to unwind, the dumber the movie the better Me going full art critic on his one patch of brainless entertainment cannot have helped i do hope he has since found someone else to console him when he comes home all frustrated
I'm not familiar with Shakespeare's personal life. But if read some of his stuff & both Romeo and Hamlet strike me as definite 4s. & often when the protags in an author's various works are samey across different genre's, that's the author's own personality showing through

I think what people are mistaking when he says “4’s are androgynous(even though I am a 4 and physically present androgynous as well) is that we are morally gray and are able to see from multiple perspectives. We don’t go by gender norms because we don’t want to fit it. Unless a 4 wants to express themselves in a certain way, you can’t force us to fit inside “the blue for boys, pink for girls,” stereotypes.
The hindu philosophy of advaita vedanta particularly the BMI chart explanation complements it as before introduction explanation Swami Chinmayananda got a good explanation Dr David daniels got the interpersonal neurobiology as a biological perspective instincts and stuffs
Enneagram can be a powerful (and dangerous) device in order to manipulate people? I mean, if you use the “right” words speaking with different types (for example he mentioned the word need with the type 2) you can open a lot of doors?
Please check out Midwest Christian Outreach as well as Fr Mitch Pacwa regarding the origins and history of the enneagram. If you are a Christian, please research the enneagram origins as well as how Rohr’s theology do not line up with Biblical/historical Christianity
Yes thank you!! I'm a one and I've been trying to find my wing. Even my husband (type 9) agrees with me, I'm a 1w1 but I'm also an only child so now it makes sense 😂
I can see the opposite (or virtue) side of eight of the nine sins as Richard explains it, but how is “decisive action” a virtue (for 9s) when so many cruel, harmful (sinful) actions can be done decisively?
There is good and bad decisive action. Good decisive action is for example when you decide to Read the Bible every day for 30min and you end up reading it, no matter if you are tired, sleepy or there are more fun things to do. In short - it's the virtue of making good and thought trough decisions and being constant in them.
2Tim4:3-4 : "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths."
I'm a sloth but I don't look like one LOL vanity.. I have been a sinner for as long as I can remember. Repenting in the name of Yeshua is a great idea.
Functional Fanatics The Father calls you a son, and a saint, don’t perpetuate and justify your thinking and actions by that identity! You are a son, a slave to righteousness, and amazing. You are never called that by the Father, just by religion. I used to think that way and so I remained that way, it’s liberating to be free from it! You should ask the father who and what you are! It’s amazing door to freedom and the kingdom. You’re a saint and your presence is powerful and peaceful to others
I listened to each hour+ presentation 2 times in order to make my notes. Vilbert Vallance you amaze me! Such level of entitlement, arogance and laziness. Wow!
You would think that if Giorgivanic -Mr. Gurdjieff had thought that anything about types could be extracted from the engram, or the law governing he-line-of-the-flow-of-forces-constantly-deflectingaccording-to-law-and-uniting-again-at-its-ends, " he would have said so but he does *Not*
I take issue with this gentleman's interpretation of 3s being fixated on achieving social status to silence our supposed insecurities. I'm a very dominant 3w2. A classic go-getter. I even work in politics (gasp!) as a high-dollar fundraiser (double gasp!), but I find my profession so fulfilling because it allows me to use my gifts in of support people and causes that I believe will improve the human condition and alleviate suffering.
Scott Comer I think that’s the premise of the Enneagram. What you take issue with IS YOUR issue. What I take issue with is my issue. Self awareness is painful and healing.
Scott, did you have a parent that undervalued you? Seriously....I don’t mean that as an attack. You seem to have missed the point of this lecture, which was to expose the flaws in all the types so they can achieve redemption less blindly .
@@heatherprock8205 No offense taken! I, admittedly, viewed the lecture without understanding its context. Now, with that knowledge, I understand the gentleman's interpretation of the Enneagram. To answer your question, yes, I did have a mother who (I mistakenly believed as a child) undervalued me because of my sexuality. I lived in fear that if I were to be "outed" that I would lose her love, so I achieved and achieved and achieved until I finally learned that fulfillment is achievement in and of itself. And yes. The praise accompanying that achievement doesn't hurt either ;)
Scott Comer -3’s are awesome and absolutely have demons like the rest of us. I recommend the intro to this lecture, it explains his approach. I’ve read Palmers book and I don’t consider myself a Christian, but this perspective hits home for me. There’s a lot of healing available when you look at it like this.

Isn’t every type? Just looks different in each type. That’s what I hear and think.

All the numbers have narcissistic tendencies imo. Plus this teacher has obvious bias against 4’s lol.
4s are developed when they retain their creativity without needing to force it on people.

I am just a really unhealthy 2 that looks like an 8 on the outside but I have the core fear of a 2. I just couldn't admit it until I was put into a situation that shone a light on my 2ness. I cried for a long time after I found out I was a 2. I am pretty convinced. So just keep in mind you may mistype a few times so don't quickly attach onto one type as it may be a bodyguard for your real core type. For 2s when they are unhealthy or stress they basically become 8s. Each type has a type that they mimic when they are healthy and unhealthy. Please keep that in mind
I wonder if they appear like their opposite type when they’re unhealthy, like with MBTI? I’m not sure if 2 and 8 are opposites or not
Thank you this is helping me because I feel discouraged
@@Kayla-me3ct When unhealthy they will appear like the type they disintegrate into. For 2s that would be 8. You can look up disintegration and integration online it is a common part of the theory. Personally, I, and other enthusiasts also believe that you integrate and disintegrate into two types rather than one, and as far as I know this is not conventional knowledge to the theory but it seems to be a theme I am noticing in people and characters I have typed.
Another theme I've noticed is that the wing (or wings if balanced) are like a mask for the core type since it is what fulfill the main type you will be seeing traits of the wings more than the type itself. (So for me I am a 2w1 and I come across more 1-ish, but I also have 1 in my tritype)
Lastly, I don't think Richard Rohr went into this in the lecture but we have 3 fixes or "types". And one core type. Each fix has to be taken from 3 sections. First section is gut which would be 8, 9, or 1. Second is heart 2, 3, or 4 and third is head 5, 6, or 7. They also have wings and they are often more noticeable than the core type as well which can cause confusion
@@kurichanmichele584 It is extremely complex. It has been about 6 months and I am still trying to understand it but I understand it much better than I did before. If you are having trouble I suggest joining the free social media app/site called the personality database. It is a small community where we debate and vote on types using various systems (such as enneagram and mbti among a few others) the site is also amazingly well organized and updated with new feature about weekly. It is run by an ISTJ 9w1, super honest chill guy. And volunteer mods. Would have given up by now if it wasn't for this community
@@ThoughtProvokingVlogswow, this is deep waters and rather Scorpio esoteric and complex ! Appreciate the sm app you recommended.
I’m an astrologer and use the cards of destiny and know about mbti somewhat. Thank you.
This man is CLEARLY fawning over 1’s and 3’s (he is a 1-3-8 himself). Punctuated within his grandiose descriptions of 1 and 3 are the less complimentary descriptions of 1 and 3 but then quickly finds a grandiose complimentary notion to follow up with. He is sooooo much harsher to 2’s! I loved his 1.5 hours introduction on another video and have had a 360 degree turnaround about him since hearing this
I think Beatrice Chestnut has a MUCH more accurate overview of the personalities
When he’s asked about 2’s positives he says done half hearted remarks that sound unconvincing quickly followed by the negative. Yet he dwells lengthily on 1 and 3’s positives!- the numbers he identifies with !!
I noticed this right away as well.
Yup! He’s so obviously a 1 , lol
FJ sent me here
Jenneration Zee yes same
Wow your beautiful 😍
So, to sum up a 4 in a feeling, seems like bittersweet might cover it? Thoughts?
I attest to that
Pretty much✨
I felt this in my SOUL. A lot of what he described about the 4 really just didn't sit with me at all. Eccentric, showy, all that... not me. Started feeling like I didn't _have_ a type (bc 4 is by far the closest). But the bittersweet, the longing, the love of tragedy and death - absolutely.
@@RenneAtha same! Like, I don’t like to stand out honestly - I prefer to blend in. Not that I want to be like everyone else though, I just want my uniqueness to be subtle

C'mon, thumbs down for this? Must be part of the group of people who, whenever they see anything Rohr on youtube click and do their business.
Lol, agree..
this vid popped up on my feed as I had been looking at a vid about Gurdjieff and his enneagram model. He (G) was the originator, and was not religious or using it for personality assessment.
Omg 😳 my son is a seven and absolutely love him. But I always check in on him. So he knows he’s loved and important. Wow 😳
He was very soft on the 3s 😄 but i love this talk, Richard is a very deep thinker, even when he seems to dislike 4s a lot.
Also, i believe i'm the only 4 who really doesn't care about his looks. I wasted to much time and money on those things that are just superficial. As long as my art expresses, what i feel, i'm fine
As a 4 I love fashion, always have. My expression of art is how I dress/look. My fav look is the 40’s.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this.. ( thanks for posting them ) a lot of interesting thoughts to ponder discard or agree with.. 👍
4w5 and I adore many aspects of Japan X'D, I've spent some time in France.
Thankfully I've got tragedy in check and I love to blend in. It's just that the moment I open my mouth I'll end myself up in the center of attention, silently cursing, because it's nice to be useful but hard to not quickly become overwhelmed and start missing seclusion 😂 And yes it's definitely hard to be productive "out there". If anyone asked and worked some magic for me, I'd gladly have someone "in here" to carry outside what I distill. And/or who is available "out there" so that I could comfortably get some things moving with others while being able to withdraw to portable safe spaces/people for recharging. Well, I love my life this way, too, though. With all the things that don't work out "to their best possible way" yet. 😁
my whole life start to make more sense after watching this :D
Actually 4’s are most attracted to the color celadon.
WTF HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS?! except i call it "SEAFOAM blue" lmao
both that and mauve for sure!!
Tertiary colors are the most complex, makes sense that 4’s love the variety there!
That too !!
My favourite colour is indigo and I'm a four.
I’m a 3 married to a 1 who loves me even when I fail
And I am a 1, who desperately loves a 3 and am waiting for her to realize exactly the same thing ...
Thank you
I am a 1 married to a 3. We have just arrived at this place where she gets that I love her win or lose and I get that she loves me right or wrong.
Thats beautiful. I'm a three so I know how much we need that from someone
I have a hard time with type 1s. Not an easy type to be friends with if they are unhealthy. I run away from type 1s and if I can’t physically distance I will emotionally distance.
100% if they are unhealthy
Interesting. Not all 4’a are into visual arts, fashion, and eccentricity. Or are androgynous. This was new.
Thank you so much for your insightful lecture!
I find it amusing being type 1 with a name that means 'grace'. My parents were originally going to name me something else, but it's as if they received divine inspiration to change my name. Something to live up to. :)
I'm very angry because my well-researched and carefully packaged teachings and advice have been ignored for decades. My example doesn't seem to make a difference. I just don't know what to live for anymore...
Like to know more IYDM.
Is it possible that threes can be a result of a child realizing very early on that they had a way with words. So they were able to talk their way into or out of anything?
Thats a cool observation
4s are NOT always androgynous. Many, myself included, are not. Pretty much accurate otherwise.
I don't think he meant that literally.. more as a general rule leaning, lol. 4s look how they want. (2 here)
I took it as more of an intellectual androgyny...I'm a 4 - no mistaking my physical gender, but I do identify the strong feminine qualities of my thinking.
Did this get cut off or did I miss the section about the four's virtue and core sin? Is that section in another video?
Sin is envy
Type 2, Tied Type 1/4. I am a nurse. I am a Mom. I am a musician by training as well. NAILED IT.
Absolutely riveting!!! 🎉😁✨
...as a suspected 5, I have been waiting for hours watching these to get to the part about MEEEEEEEEE!
Just a 5 here, listening to nearly 7 hours of talks just to hoard the information for later. 🤣
I'm a four and I have had a number of people suspect I might be lesbian lol, which I am not...quite interesting. Great lecture, thanks for sharing!
This whole "1s are usually worn out by 9" thing explains so much about my ex boyfriend
He'd have to vent about his job first & maybe see a movie to unwind, the dumber the movie the better
Me going full art critic on his one patch of brainless entertainment cannot have helped
i do hope he has since found someone else to console him when he comes home all frustrated
I adore Richard. He's just so nice! Lady Havisham was a Four (Dickens character.) LOL
This is wonderful!
I really appreciate the quantity of “Dammits” in this lecture. 😆
When he talked about the 2. the biggest Image in my mind was Christa/Historia from Aot
prior to the catch phrase "co-dependent" the condition was referred to as internalized oppression
I'm not familiar with Shakespeare's personal life. But if read some of his stuff & both Romeo and Hamlet strike me as definite 4s.
& often when the protags in an author's various works are samey across different genre's, that's the author's own personality showing through

I prefer Beatrice Chestnut explanation in that she allows for the knowledge that people can transform their flaws by studying the enneagram.
I think what people are mistaking when he says “4’s are androgynous(even though I am a 4 and physically present androgynous as well) is that we are morally gray and are able to see from multiple perspectives. We don’t go by gender norms because we don’t want to fit it. Unless a 4 wants to express themselves in a certain way, you can’t force us to fit inside “the blue for boys, pink for girls,” stereotypes.
18:34 you tend to not others with your same number
1:40:47 Four break through; they’re still creative but don’t force it
for real, richard rohr
It appears to me that I was a 4w5 as a teenager, but now I am fully a 5w4. Is this possible?
Yes. We grow.
I am glad to be 7 😂😂😂, but i am sad to say i always want more of everything. And most of people are too boring for me.
Is this the 2nd video? It seems to start in the middle of a session.
Yes this is part 2 of 4. Part 1 is called: The Discernment of Spirits (Introduction)
i love this
It's pretty cool
Can 4s be falsely be diagnosed as bipolar?
I wonder that too
wondering
The hindu philosophy of advaita vedanta particularly the BMI chart explanation complements it as before introduction explanation Swami Chinmayananda got a good explanation Dr David daniels got the interpersonal neurobiology as a biological perspective instincts and stuffs
Enneagram can be a powerful (and dangerous) device in order to manipulate people? I mean, if you use the “right” words speaking with different types (for example he mentioned the word need with the type 2) you can open a lot of doors?
Oh god he had me at mauve 🙈
His mentions about gay people are interesting
Please check out Midwest Christian Outreach as well as Fr Mitch Pacwa regarding the origins and history of the enneagram. If you are a Christian, please research the enneagram origins as well as how Rohr’s theology do not line up with Biblical/historical Christianity
What’s the virtue of the nine?
I am 1 and all he says is totally me. Being an only child who is 1 makes you 1 to the nth degree.
Yes thank you!! I'm a one and I've been trying to find my wing. Even my husband (type 9) agrees with me, I'm a 1w1 but I'm also an only child so now it makes sense 😂
@@Zimoria You know, it is a hard life. Always being secretly critical, yet very loyal to significant others. Still, it is what it is.
I can see the opposite (or virtue) side of eight of the nine sins as Richard explains it, but how is “decisive action” a virtue (for 9s) when so many cruel, harmful (sinful) actions can be done decisively?
There is good and bad decisive action.
Good decisive action is for example when you decide to Read the Bible every day for 30min and you end up reading it, no matter if you are tired, sleepy or there are more fun things to do. In short - it's the virtue of making good and thought trough decisions and being constant in them.
Great :))) thank you soooooo much!
2Tim4:3-4 :
"For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine
but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity,
will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth
and will be diverted to myths."

I'm a sloth but I don't look like one LOL vanity.. I have been a sinner for as long as I can remember. Repenting in the name of Yeshua is a great idea.
Functional Fanatics
The Father calls you a son, and a saint, don’t perpetuate and justify your thinking and actions by that identity! You are a son, a slave to righteousness, and amazing. You are never called that by the Father, just by religion. I used to think that way and so I remained that way, it’s liberating to be free from it! You should ask the father who and what you are! It’s amazing door to freedom and the kingdom. You’re a saint and your presence is powerful and peaceful to others
How many are left in this neonatzi world that attest to know; or can even identify with the greatest of all Spirits?
I'm a hospital chaplain from India...is possible to get the notes of this lectures
I listened to each hour+ presentation 2 times in order to make my notes. Vilbert Vallance you amaze me! Such level of entitlement, arogance and laziness. Wow!
His description of the artist type borders on caricature or parody. A shallow view indeed.
Brazil is sure a mix of 2s and 7s
4 starts at 1:29
You would think that if Giorgivanic -Mr. Gurdjieff had thought that anything about types could be extracted from the engram, or the law governing he-line-of-the-flow-of-forces-constantly-deflectingaccording-to-law-and-uniting-again-at-its-ends, " he would have said so but he does *Not*
naranjo admitted he got the types from automatic writing. wake up!
Wale is an example of an unhealthy 4 I feel
The dream of most Threes is to become a One.

My mother tried to make me a 2. It took years to recognize that I’m not.
Thanks!
I take issue with this gentleman's interpretation of 3s being fixated on achieving social status to silence our supposed insecurities. I'm a very dominant 3w2. A classic go-getter. I even work in politics (gasp!) as a high-dollar fundraiser (double gasp!), but I find my profession so fulfilling because it allows me to use my gifts in of support people and causes that I believe will improve the human condition and alleviate suffering.
Scott Comer I think that’s the premise of the Enneagram. What you take issue with IS YOUR issue. What I take issue with is my issue. Self awareness is painful and healing.
Scott, did you have a parent that undervalued you?
Seriously....I don’t mean that as an attack. You seem to have missed the point of this lecture, which was to expose the flaws in all the types so they can achieve redemption less blindly .
@@heatherprock8205 No offense taken! I, admittedly, viewed the lecture without understanding its context. Now, with that knowledge, I understand the gentleman's interpretation of the Enneagram. To answer your question, yes, I did have a mother who (I mistakenly believed as a child) undervalued me because of my sexuality. I lived in fear that if I were to be "outed" that I would lose her love, so I achieved and achieved and achieved until I finally learned that fulfillment is achievement in and of itself. And yes. The praise accompanying that achievement doesn't hurt either ;)
Scott Comer -3’s are awesome and absolutely have demons like the rest of us. I recommend the intro to this lecture, it explains his approach. I’ve read Palmers book and I don’t consider myself a Christian, but this perspective hits home for me. There’s a lot of healing available when you look at it like this.
I agree with Heather, 3s are awesome.
❤
so this is what he actually looks like
I think my type is 1 with 9...I"m a real barrel of laughs.
