The Deep Purpose of the Enneagram

Today, we find ourselves individually and collectively navigating new waters almost daily. We already have learned to search mightily for answers to our human dilemma in the external world, and many cultural norms reinforce the outward search for safety, love, power, value, acceptance, freedom and more.  

You likely know that there is something beyond this usual way of living with its generally predictable outcomes, as well as experience an insistent pull that comes from deeper within.

I’m excited about the launch of my revised and updated book, Deep Living with the Enneagram:  Recovering Your True Nature  because I know that people can and do transform their relationships to themselves –becoming more at ease and more accepting of themselves, freer to make choices that align with their inner knowing, and recovering that which was never absent: their true nature.  These shifts hinge on having an accurate understanding of the nature of the personality itself and its relationship to the whole of who we are. Within this fascinating exploration lies a key to our soul’s yearning. This realization is one of the real purposes of the Enneagram.

Discover why the Deep Living approach to working with the Enneagram is Medicine for Your Soul and Healing for the World.

What’s New In The Revised and Updated Edition:

• As the title suggests, the focus is it means to live deeply. Part I addresses the important question of how we prepare ourselves for experiencing a different way of being. Part II helps us see what has been hidden to our awareness in terms of gifts and difficulties as we explore the Enneagram’s nine unique versions of the recovery to wholeness. Part III provides practices for creating and sustaining our growth momentum to our truer self.  Faithful to the original version, the reader is invited to enter this work with a new lens.
• The term ego code is introduced. Analogous to the genetic code that carries information without our awareness, affecting our entire bio-neurophysiology, the ego code similarly carries hidden information that affects our entire way of being. Learning about this code enhances the principles set forth in the original book. The reader is offered a way to “decode the code.”
• Chapter 18, newly titled “Medicine for Your Soul, Healing for the World” is substantially revised.
• More support in experiencing presence.
