The Direction of Disintegration or Stress for each type is indicated by the sequence of numbers 1-4-2-8-5-7-1. Again, we see the flexibility and dynamism of the Enneagram. You will respond or adapt in different directions, as indicated by the lines of the Enneagram from your basic type. In other words, different situations will evoke different kinds of responses from your personality. This second line is called the Direction of Stress or Disintegration. The other line goes to another type that represents how the person is likely to act out if they are under increased stress and pressure-when they feel they are not in control of the situation. This is called the Direction of Integration or Growth. One line connects with a type that represents how a person of the first type behaves when they are moving toward health and growth. There are two lines connected to each type, and they connect with two other types. The inner lines of the Enneagram connect the types in a sequence that denotes what each type will do under different conditions. Further, the sequence of the types and the arrangement of the inner lines of the symbol are not arbitrary. “Hey, Gramps, why do people act and react to situations and circumstances in life differently? How can I gain wisdom to better understand myself and others so that I can love, serve, and minister to them on a deeper level?” The Enneagram System – Directions of Integration (Growth) and Disintegration (Stress)Īs we discussed in last Friday’s podcast and journal the Levels of Development, the nine personality types of the Enneagram are not static categories: they reflect our change over time. So the questions for the next several week or months will be… All decisions and actions that we make in life must be in harmony with God’s precepts. As helpful as the Enneagram is, keep in mind it is still only a tool and cannot replace or usurp the precepts that are found in God’s Word. If you have any questions or would like additional resources, please send me a message from the Wisdom Journal page, and I will reply. The Enneagram is the most useful tool of this type I’ve encountered for personal growth. We are exploring this tool in detail, and I would recommend also reading the Wisdom Journal for each Friday to see the diagrams presented each week. When I discovered the depth of the Enneagram, it opened up a new horizon of understanding of myself and also helped me to understand others better. It is an excellent book about an enneagram journey to self-discovery. I would also recommend a recently released book The Road Back to You written by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile.

I have also included Wisdom Journal a copy of “The Enneagram At-A-Glance” that was compiled by Suzanne H Eller in today’s. If you would like a PDF copy of it, click on the link in today’s Wisdom Journal on our website. If you have missed any of our past four Friday series, I would recommend going back and listening to them or read the Wisdom Journals. As a review, the tool that we refer to as the Enneagram (Any-a-Gram) is a circle with 9 interconnected points (Ennea refers to 9 and Gram refers to a drawing). Understanding ourselves and how others may interpret life through their paradigm will allow us to interact with each other with more love and compassion. This is utilizing a profound tool called “The Enneagram.”

Today is the sixth episode in a new series delving into what makes each of us respond as we do to life situations. So our Friday trek is a time when we can “Ask Gramps.” Gramps will answer questions that you would like to ask your dad or granddad, but for whatever reason are unable to. No matter how old we are, I know that all of us would like the opportunity to ask dad or gramps questions about life in many areas. Each Friday we will ponder some of the basic truths and mysteries of life and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy.Īs we continue on this trek called life, sometimes we have questions about life. This is Day 943 of our trek, and it is time for our Philosophy Friday series.
