Description

A"heartily recommend ed "text for "Enneagram enthusiasts . . . and followers of every spiritual tradition"-bythe creator of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization(Helen Palmer, author ofTheEnneagram) Facets of Unitypresents the Enneagram of Holy Ideas as a crystal clear window on the true reality experienced in enlightened consciousness. Here we are not directed toward the psychological types but the higher spiritual realities they reflect. We discover how the disconnection from each Holy Idea-defined as an unconditioned, objective understanding of reality-leads to the development of its corresponding fixation, thus recognizing each types deeper psychological core. Understanding this core brings each Holy Idea within reach, so its spiritual perspective can serve as a key for unlocking the fixation and freeing us from its limitations.
