The Enneagram - More Than Pop Psychology

Gurdjieff taught that the Enneagram symbolized a journey for individuals to transcend certain "blocks" that maintained them in a state of automatic reaction to external stimuli, rather than living as fully conscious beings. Interestingly, for Gurdjieff, the awakening to consciousness began not with thought but through the body, using movement to disrupt entrenched neurological pathways. These practices evolved into what are now known as Gurdjieff’s Dance Movements, which continue to be practiced worldwide.

The Enneagram and Motivation on 02/01/2025

Enneagram and Motivation

The Enneagram is a model for how energy flows in our reality. It is described by the geometric relationship between numbers 1 through 9. It describes the energetic flow as a spiral moving in both directions. The spiral galaxy is a macroscopic example, and the model of the atom is a microscopic example. In between is us, human beings. In us, the enneagram describes "how we move" in the world. In other words, what "motivates" us? What gets us to move and do the things we do?

The Enneagram and Mary Magdalene

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene describes the "7 Powers," or challenges, that individuals must confront if they are to grow spiritually. The 7 powers morphed into the "7 Deadly Sins" of the desert Christian monks of the 4th Century. (Meggan Watterson) A century later, a desert monk, John Cassian consecrates the cave where Mary Magdalene eventually settles and lives in the south of France.

"Motivation"

The enneagram describes the movement of energy mathematically and geometrically. In the human being, it describes what gets us to literally “move.” In other words, “motivation.”
