Illuminating for me. I’ve been working with an emotions wheel a lot over the past few months and noticed I’m rarely in the quadrant with joy. I do believe it’s trauma and preparation of “what’s coming”. My gratitude practice, playing my ukulele, and mandala practice seems to soften this rigidity. Beautiful poem! I love we’moon calendar.🙏🏻 You are a blessing in my life.
Aww. Thank you for sharing. I loved getting to know more about you here, and it reminds me to continue to invite people to share, share, share in comments! :) It matters so much to me what is going on in YOUR life and to know how these talks are impacting you. It sounds like you have really beautiful, depthful practices that really align with cultivating vulnerability AND joy. How FUN that you play ukulele! I love that instrument. It can such a playful sound! Sounds like there could be a LOT of space in that alone for silliness and joy to burst open! Thank you again for your feedback yesterday. It warmed and brought gratitude AND joy to my heart to read your comment! <3

This video led me to a deeper understanding about the Flow of between the numbers in all 3 triads. Grateful that Logan was on this… Love his part about how his journey to his 5 (2’s have no line to the Heart) revealed, for Logan, a Real Intellectual Illumination of both Mind/Heart… ”staying with it”. Logan’s astonishing recall and naming the various Enneagram teachers he quoted was Impressive. Wow… Nhien! Prior to viewing this video, I had a fuzzy intellectual appreciation for the psychological dimension of the triads and that was the end of “my resolve” to understand (with the mind only). It was thrilling, for me, to listen to both of you as you clearly articulated both a personal, Spiritual and Experiential understanding of the Triads. WOW Grateful for your time and efforts ins sharing your Insightful/Heartful Understandings. I will take a 2nd watch soon… one of my insights using your 2 recent RU-vid videos…
So glad I found your channel, the algorithm suggests so many videos regarding the enneagram but rarely do any of them discuss Gurdjieff's ideas directly, and instead, focus entirely on the personality archetypes, which can also become a distraction. Not to sow division, but most of them don't even mention the name, so this was refreshing. I've been thinking a lot about 'Metamodernism', and though there are many different views about what this term should mean, what I take from it is that the new paradigm must also contain its own critique, not merely reject, dismiss, or overcome it, in order for us to use it to push us forward rather than regress to an outdated pattern. This reminds me of what you're saying about the Law of Three in regards to our current political moment -- if we think of Biden as one force and Trump as another, we can also think of Harris as that third force offering a new possibility, at least that's what I hope. Thanks so much for the video!
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm really trying to get the message out there that there is a deeper, transformational Enneagram here for people--and for our world! I'd love to hear questions, continued feedback and interaction from those like you who are already aware of Gurdjieff's work. I am both a teacher AND a student alongside you and others! Peace, Nhien
Wow, such a timely message for me. I was just sharing with my brother the other day that as I’m becoming more and more aware of myself and who I really am and what I really desire I’ve been reluctant to share that with friends, certain friends for fear of conflicting views or defending myself or my position. I realize, however, that not sharing myself in truth is a disservice to me and them. I’m committed to intentionally making progress in this area because I will not continue to suppress myself.
Ryan! Aloha! Just now seeing your comments. Haha. I realized that there is a "spam" folder for comments and all these were awaiting my review. Hope to see your beautiful face soon! Hope your summer has been amazing and nourishing!
Thanks so much for the likes here and the comments on our Evolving Enneagram Facebook Community page. I'm soooo grateful to hear your feedback about these talks! I would LOVE to hear specifically what you learned/applied! OXOX Nhien 😍
It is a dream of mine to express myself anywhere close to how you can. It’s such a process of learning to speak from the heart. Thank you for your beautiful work. 🌷
@@Courage-to-BE Aww. There is a saying that I believe in: If you've spot it, you've got it! (Even if its still latent potential, it sounds like it's part of your life calling to speak your truth with beauty and clarity!) <3
Hello there! Thanks so much for watching! I'm just now realizing where folk's youtube comments went! haha! I apologized for the delay in reply. I'm grateful you took time to share! Here's to all the wonderful sp9s out there!
Sigh. Indeed! A humbling realization. I do need to do a podcast at some point to talk about it and answer people's questions! (I have been interviewed about it on others' podcasts BTW like Do It for the Gram.) In short, after many years of addressing 1ness, I learned it was just the top layer of my personality/persona and eventually the inner critic lifted, which would be impossible if I truly were a Type 1! (Teachers/preachers can certainly admit we were wrong too!) :)
So sorry I just now saw this. Here is a link to Brumet's book: www.amazon.com/Birthing-Greater-Reality-Conscious-Evolution-ebook/dp/B005007QAW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=birthing+a+greater+reality&qid=1706617437&sr=8-1
Omy! This is the most excellent commentary on my “Fourness” I’ve ever heard…I found myself finishing her sentences, which brought a sense of vulnerability. Always evaluating..always ready to see and believe “ I’m lesser than,,”
It has taken a week from the discovery of my Enneagram 9w1 to feel ready to listen to this. Initially, I came across a Dr mansplaining All of my dysfunction. I felt I had done so much healing this past year...but I realized spiritual healing and transformation had to come first. Thank you for your gentleness and kindness. I am seeing everything with so much clarity. I needed this to come in a nurturing context. I truly appreciate your own light and inner beauty personally infused into this message. Much love🙏🏻💕
Ha! Just now seeing this. Funny thing is that I work with a LOT of 8s! It can definitely be a thing to get an 8 to sit but once they do...oh the beauty and softness! It's sooo touching!
It was so spot on what you said about a desire for being seen and a fear of being seen - as well as the reluctance of owning the 3-aspects. Often, I choose to say nothing because I have such a hard time keeping it brief and I hate the feeling of having blabbered out a lot which is really just significant to myself. I have this desire to "burst out my soul" in each and every situation, and perhaps I'm afraid that if I let go, I'll end of swallowing up or drowning everyone around me. Perhaps also because I have a lot of 8 in me (which I also try to repress but also recognize as a true strength (not just a power game). See, I'm already just kind of journaling a lot of private thoughts and feel that I'm not even half finished. But yeah - even just yesterday, I talked to a dear friend of mine about how I've been wanting to do a podcast or make You Tube videos where I share my insights and views about this and that because I have an idea that I will love doing it and also that I really have something to share which is worth listening to. But as soon as I say that, I feel like I'm boasting and begin questioning myself and then I easily end up concluding that I really have so little experience with real life - I'm way too "immature" to own up to my chronoligical age or I become afraid of gathering a following and not being able to keep my feet on the ground. And then, when you said that about giving space to the ramblings of a 9, I teared up and just wanted to be in a setting like that but then again felt that fear of "taking advantage" and overdoing it so I end up pushing everyone away or just stealing their space. And then, toward the end, I got that insight that I'm longing to be seen - but not by others but myself. I suppose that I see myself as a tiny pearl buried in a pile of trash and that this pile of trash is longing to be repurposed.
Wow. This is so touching, Zenia. Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt "ramblings"! They moved and inspired me (even as I have my morning coffee here at 530am!) Also, I think that the anger in NINES when given compassionate permission TOTALLY shows up as a force of nature to be reckoned with in service to our world! (It doesn't even have to go tap into eight to do that! Nines get sleepy in part because of pushing all that anger down rather than harnessing it)! Best wishes on all your endeavors!
We live with a hypocrisy that is hard to look at, we want this but we do that, in fear; but in punishment that we know we are right, but don't want to hurt others so we hurt ourselves.
I'm a 4w3 and I always strive for happiness, for hope, etc... although I dwell sometimes in darkness and like to write about it, I strive for light when Im integrated. Great representation of the 4s.
For my fellow type 4s. THE LEOPARD Paul D. McDonagh I pity the leopard for he cannot change his spots. He must look upon you with wonder and awe. That you are so free to keep your spots and the stories they tell of your life or to change them at will; at least redefine them in your own eyes not as blemishes to be hidden or forgotten, but as moments of truth full of meaning lost until you become willing to learn.
Thanks so much for your beautiful reflection. It's a vulnerable thing to put my poetry, in particular, OUT THERE, and I'm super grateful to know that it touched you!
