The Narrative Enneagram

Type 8 Greater Knowing: Oneness Oneness is the Truth that the nature of reality is an undivided and multidimensional unity. While everything is held in unity, multiple things are true at once. Oneness is not sameness, but it allows for multiple truths to be held within one whole. When you are connected to oneness, reality is not split up into dualities of good versus bad, strong versus weak, us versus them. Everything belongs without canceling out or negating the other. When you experience Oneness, you have greater access to the truth of reality that all are one. Traditionally called the “Holy Idea,” the Greater Knowing is a deeper truth about the unitive nature of creation that each type has forgotten. Each Greater Knowing is a view of reality that reflects an understanding which is much wider than the limited perspective of the type structure. When we make a practice of reconnecting to the Greater Knowing of our type, we are more available to an expansive experience of reality, an open heart, and grounded presence. #enneagram8 #oneness #greaterknowing #enneagram #narrativeenneagram

Type 7 Greater Knowing: Wisdom Wisdom is the knowing that there is a design to the unfolding of life. Rather than operating in chaos, the universe unfolds according to natural laws that we can observe. When you experience this wisdom and are able to trust in the intelligence of the plan unfolding, it frees you up to focus your attention on the present moment rather than jump ahead to try to create your own plan. This allows you to fully experience the breadth and depth of each moment, and to be fully present for your own work which can only be done in the present moment. Traditionally called the “Holy Idea,” the Greater Knowing is a deeper truth about the unitive nature of creation that each type has forgotten. Each Greater Knowing is a view of reality that reflects an understanding which is much wider than the limited perspective of the type structure. When we make a practice of reconnecting to the Greater Knowing of our type, we are more available to an expansive experience of reality, an open heart, and grounded presence. #enneagram7 #wisdom #greaterknowing #enneagram #narrativeenneagram

Type 6 Greater Knowing: Faith Faith is the knowing that your thoughts, emotions, and body are not the core of who you are. Instead, your core nature is made up of a foundation of strength that remains sturdy no matter what thoughts, emotions, or experiences your body might have. The connection to this core of self makes navigating the difficulties of the world bearable, with an unshakeable sense of faith or trust in the existence of your own sturdy foundation and its capacity to support you even in moments that are shaky. Traditionally called the “Holy Idea,” the Greater Knowing is a deeper truth about the unitive nature of creation that each type has forgotten. Each Greater Knowing is a view of reality that reflects an understanding which is much wider than the limited perspective of the type structure.

Type 5 Greater Knowing: Abundance Abundance is the knowing that the nature of reality is unity and oneness, and therefore it is impossible to be cut off or isolated from that union. This unity is made up of distinct individual parts that are interconnected. Within that interconnectedness, there is an abundant supply of all that is necessary for life–knowledge, energy, and resources. The connection to abundance brings you into the flow from which you were never cut off, and in which there is enough to meet your needs and desires. #enneagram5 #abundance #greaterknowing #enneagram #narrativeenneagram

Type 4 Greater Knowing: Wholeness Wholeness is the knowing that the nature of reality is interconnected in an inseparable way. As a part of that reality, we ourselves cannot be severed from that connection to the whole. It is impossible for connection to truly be lost when we both make up the whole and are a part of the whole. Within this wholeness, there are unique individual manifestations of being, but the uniqueness is not as a result of separateness. With a connection to Wholeness, it is impossible for anything of true importance or substance to be missing because it already exists in wholeness.

Each Greater Knowing is a view of reality that reflects an understanding which is much wider than the limited perspective of the type structure.

Type 3 Greater Knowing: Hope Hope is connected to knowing that the nature of life is constantly unfolding with or without our individual effort. The universe, as a whole, is in a constant state of change and we are a part of that momentum. When we can perceive ourselves as part of that larger system that is always moving in union and harmony, we can access a sense of hopefulness about both our connection to the whole and our participation in the ongoing movement. Hope arises as we remember that we are not alone in our action, and we are not required to maintain the motion of the universe with our individual action. #enneagram3 #hope #greaterknowing #enneagram #narrativeenneagram

Type 2 Greater Knowing: Freedom Freedom is the knowing that there is a directional flow by which the universe unfolds, bringing with it what is necessary for real needs to be met. This flow is available to everyone, and surrendering to the flow allows you to experience the freedom of being human–of being both a receiver and a giver. Everyone gets to participate in this flow, with equal access to receive support and give support as participants in a greater unfolding.

Type 1 Greater Knowing: Goodness Goodness (Perfection) is the knowing that the true nature of our being is inherently good with no need to improve, update, or make anything different. Goodness invites us to see that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with us. This goodness is not in comparison to anything else, and it does not exist in the subjective framework of our judgments. The elements that make up reality are inherently good and perfect as they are. What we consciously choose to do with those elements, or how we choose to relate to ourselves or others, might not always reflect this goodness within or without. However, the goodness itself does not change even when we lose sight of it. #enneagram1 #goodness #greaterknowing #enneagram #narrativeenneagram
