The Sacred Enneagram

Useful after reading ‘the road back to you’ for a bit more of a detailed history and also for more focus on spiritual practices.

Erm. I think not liking this is my fault for not reading the overview better. If you are new to enneagram, I really don’t know if this is the best book to start with because it makes you feel really shitty about yourself and like all your enneagram tells you is how you are completely broken and living a lie, and it determines really specific ways you can actually be “whole” which will most likely be extremely far away from how you’re currently operating. Also, this is on me because I should have read the back and the cover more literally, but know ahead of reading this that the book is SUPER faith and religion-driven. God and faith and holiness are on almost every single page and I certainly thought this was going to be more generally spiritual and about getting to know your personality, not finding your way back to God. The book was also really confusing in a lot of places and spent a lot of time talking about the technicalities of optimizing your praying, which was a little much for what I thought was my fun weekend read. 

There are definitely some interesting historical explorations of enneagram and cool breakdowns of how it actually works and the types interface, and I can’t say I didn’t feel like I understood my type better when I was done reading. It was just so depressing and bummer inducing.

As an Enneagram 7, now that I’ve finished my Punishment Book I’m going to go feel bad about myself for being a gluttonous, overdoing-it, addiction-driven, pain-avoiding idealist now so I’ll get back to you later once I’ve reached my ideal Virtue of sobriety and not ever wanting to do anything cool or exciting ever because THAT’S RUNNING AWAY FROM MY BEST SELF.
