      Enneagram Become Who You Really Are with the Sacred Road of the 9 Personality Types. Master Personal Growth, Emotional Healing & Self-Discovery - The Guide You Need to Go Back to Being Yourself - John Hoffner

      Chapter 1  What Is the Enneagram?

      The Enneagram is a tool that is used by many as a means to motivate, inspire, and guide personal and collective transformation.

      The word itself stems from two Greek words: ennea, which means nine, and grammos, which means a written symbol. This refers to the nine points on the symbol that are relevant to the nine different types found on the Enneagram. 

      Each of the nine types featured on the Enneagram is personalized with their own unique thinking patterns, feelings, and actions that stem from both inner motivation and outer worldview. 

      Using the Enneagram, personal development can be accomplished using a universal language that does not segregate individuals based on their gender, nationality, religion, or culture. It realizes that we are all unique, but also understands that we all share common experiences which therefore contribute to our ability to be classified into the nine different types. 

      It is important to understand that, in discovering which type you are classified into based on your Enneagram test results, you are not boxing yourself in a specific personality type that does not allow room for growth. Instead, you are gaining insight into the box from which you view the world, and learning how this box may be presently limiting you, and what you can do to broaden your life experiences. When you become consciously aware of the limitations that you have placed on yourself based on your Enneagram type, you can then begin to take inspired action that aligns with your type to gently release these limits and begin experiencing your best life possible. 

      To summarize, the Enneagram is a written symbol that features nine different personality types. Upon finding which type you are, you can also learn how to express yourself, broaden your self-awareness, evolve your personality, build stronger and healthier relationships, and overcome the many trials and tribulations that we face in life.

      Your Identity

      As humans, at one point or another in our lives, we tend to dwell on this question: Who am I? 

      It is this very question that compels us to begin searching for the meaning of life and the meaning of ourselves. We desire to fill our lives with meaning and purpose so that we can experience fulfillment in our lifetime. 

      Something we tend to do, as human beings, is try to identify ourselves as fragments of our whole self. As a result of our insecurities and fears, we fabricate and share the belief that we are only the best parts of ourselves. What results is that we end up dishonoring massive realities within who we are. This is because we do not want to admit that there are aspects of ourselves that we don’t like, so instead, we simply cut them out. We then do the same thing when introducing ourselves to others, as well. We will introduce ourselves and who we are by ignoring the aspects that bring us fear, shame, guilt, or otherwise unhappy feelings. 

      We believe that the things we do make us who we are when in reality, that is not the truth. We are not what we do, or what we have done. We are a human being. No, a human doing. However, through the process of societal conditioning that we have received throughout our lives, we have been led to believe that we are only as good as the things we do. If we do things that are considered to be bad or somehow unwanted, unappreciated, or unaccepted by society, we believe we are bad. We tend to want to hide these aspects of ourselves to prevent other people from thinking we are a bad person. Similarly, when we do things that are deemed acceptable, admirable, and seen as a good thing to society, we believe we are good. We tend to highlight and amplify our focus on these aspects as an opportunity to increase our value and self-worth.

      The reality is that nothing you do actually affects who you are. This is just something that you have been conditioned to believe. Who you are is not measured by something you do. It is measured by who you are as a being. 

      The process of coming home to your identity means shedding the belief that anything you do has an impact on who you are. What you do is an important aspect of your life, certainly, but it has absolutely zero impact on who you truly are. Staying stuck in this belief will only keep you away from your true self longer. 

      Coming back to yourself means that you shed away these beliefs and you get into the true facts of who you are. This is not measured by good or bad. It is only measured by what is. It is your beingness. It is the true reality of who you are at your core, underneath the things that you do. Getting back into the core reality of who you are means that you open up the doors for yourself to become who you truly are once more. When we live out of alignment with this reality, we tend to act and behave in ways that are not aligned with the truth, the whole unfragmented truth, of who we are. When we live in alignment with this core being, we act and behave in ways that are empowered, aligned, and accurate to who we are. 

      Chapter 2  The History of the Enneagram

      Covering every aspect of what has developed the Enneagram of personality would consist of not only just one book but an entire chronicling of all human thought. That may sound like a lofty statement, but it surely is not. The origin of the Enneagram can be traced back to the days of antiquity. In truth, it is an expansion of spiritual and early psychological concepts that have been streamlined to be understood by a larger and more contemporary audience. Esoteric concepts such as the Law of Three or Law of Seven are concluded in some circles to be directly connected to the development of the Enneagram. The work of Eliphas Levi, Helena Blavatsky, Pythagoras, among many others who are renown in the realm of esoteric workings, have all been attributed to having at least some input with constructing the modern-day version of the Enneagram (or using their own versions of the symbol). It is recommended to, eventually, study some of the theories that the previously named people developed, but that is for a later time along with your journey of self-exploration. 

      The currently used model of the Enneagram is accredited to being discovered (or altered) by Oscar Ichazo. He was not the first person to show the Enneagram to the world at large, but he was the one who attributed the 9 basic personality types to the image, which is what the Enneagram is most famously known for in our current era. Oscar Ichazo was the man who took the Enneagram of antiquity and shaped it into the Enneagram of personality, as it is known today. Even though the Enneagram has origins that trace back much further, Ichazo’s interpretation of the symbol only goes back to the 1960’s. 

      Oscar Ichazo was a very well learned man who traveled abroad. He was born in Bolivia, moved to Peru, and then relocated to Argentina. Later in life, he traveled to different parts of South America and Asia where he learned a large variety of different spiritual and psychological theories and techniques. This all led up to him establishing the Arica school in Chile. At this school, he focused his teachings on understanding and expanding the human consciousness. It was believed back in the era of antiquity, and still by many people today that grasping the truth of the self and the nature of existence as a whole can only be accurately understood by first understanding your own consciousness. Although Ichazo used many different tools and symbols to explore the human consciousness, the Enneagram of personality (with the 9 basic personality types he attributed to it) became one of the main instruments he often employed. 

      While Oscar Ichazo was teaching his lessons at the school of Arica, he also taught two American writers and psychologists, John Lilly and Claudio Naranjo. Claudio Naranjo, later on, began spreading his own particular interpretations of the Enneagram in America during the 1970s. Since then, many other authors, psychologists, and spiritual leaders have spread their own version and lessons of the Enneagram. This has created a double-edged sword of confusion and debate to its practical use and applications. In truth, the Enneagram can be extrapolated to represent many
