(...) Let's go with the Enneagram.
forgive me if I briefly discuss the basics of the Enneagram. That the case is kidding. The Enneagram, the Greek enne (nine) and gramma (sign) is a diagram consisting of a circle with nine points on its circumference, linked together by a triangle and a hexagon circumscribed, do not you sound like Kabbalah and Gnosis? Originally used for divination, and both the Gnostic Christians and Sufi mystics used it as a method of study of the "mysteries" of the universe to know the Truth, and Ramon Llull used an extended form of this system to demonstrate in his Ars Magna the Absolute Truth of Christianity against Judaism and Islam.
It attributes the rediscovery of the enneagram and its introduction in Europe in the early twentieth century, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, Russian doctor who traveled in the East and met, in his words to the wise (the Brotherhood of Samouni) that reveals the truth. Gurdjieff was fascinated with all kinds of esoteric knowledge: the occult, communication with the dead, magic, secret societies ... After his flight from Russian Revolution in 1922 founded a school in Fontainebleau (Paris) to convey what he called the Fourth Way as opposed to the three traditional monastic Buddhist and Fakir. Gurdjieff was and is the benchmark for excellence in the occult and esoteric fans and New Age in the last century, and their schools are legion.
The Enneagram, advocates say, is presented as a method of spiritual growth to know oneself as nine archetypes of personality - like handwriting - that allows the development the best and most balanced personal integrity. It is a method of personal knowledge based on the interaction of nine universal cosmic forces. Does not this sound like you horoscope?
The Enneagram has no basis in psychological science - and in any other scientific discipline - although it is presented by its supporters as a psychological method. But its real identity is in the esoteric, and a secret wisdom accessible only to initiates. According to Gurdjieff, the enneagram is a universal symbol of the cosmos and, as such, is a source of knowledge based on mathematical and physical laws. The same laws that govern the orbits of the planets, other Once the scientific clothing to cover most of the nonsense -. But it was Oscar Ichazo, Bolivian psychologist and very fond of the occult who introduced the Enneagram in the correlation of his nine points with nine personality types.
According Ichazo, each person is born as pure essence - Neoplatonic vision of the soul and the parable of the cave and the shadows - but that to survive are forced to develop a personality that will be your ego. Sometime between 4 and 6 years, choose one of 9 basic patterns of thought. Each of these patterns of thought is connected to a pattern behavior. This personality chosen as the cause of unhappiness - come on, whatever you do, you pinch the bull -. So to be happy, one must return to its essence - the rebirthding that game has given both the New Age, if all the stupid pseudo finish in the same pot - compensating for fixing the ego, which who knows what that is. According to enneagrams this is achieved by cultivating the thought and behavior patterns opposite and complementary to yours. This will be exercising the body and mind through meditation and use your hands to perform the mudras, which are sacred gestures type the Buddhist and Hindu recommended for improvement, and as a way to banish the negative emotions.
As none of this is based on a scientific method, Ichazo, to get us out of doubt, if we had any, says he discovered the Enneagram personality types during one of his ecstasies and under influence of an angel.
Finally, a long story and more with the intellectual and scientific background is what nourished the Enneagram of yore and their supposed virtues of personal and organizational analysis. The Enneagram dazzles the most gullible for the same reason that horoscopes: it is a simple and universal fit everything and everyone and know the deep reasons of the people and future events. (...)
