In poetry and personal essays, the author of The Honest Enneagram encourages us to embrace all nine personality types within ourselves. In this book, Sarajane Case delves into all nine types of the enneagram personality structure—and what each can teach us about ourselves. With poetry and essays for each type, The Enneagram Letters teaches readers to embrace the full range of the human experience. When we live inside the constraints of our enneagram type, we are settling for a life in a cocoon: safe, purposeful—and limited. Sarajane’s thoughtful insights and beautiful words inspire us to feel less alone and encouraged on our own journeys to personal expansion. The Enneagram Letters addresses the following feelings or fears for each Enneagram type, speaking to: *the part of you that feels it must be perfect *the part of you that fears being unlovable *the part of you that feels you are only as worthy as your achievements *the part of you that fears being average *the part of you that fears depletion *the part of you that fears letting others down *the part of you that fears being trapped in painful emotions *the part of you that feels it must be strong *the part of you that feels it must be easy to get along with

As a spiritual tool and system of personality types, the new directions of the enneagram presented in this work give a clear understanding of ourselves and those who are important to us. The trinity forces within the enneagram are explained in ways that can greatly benefit people in the personal, interpersonal, and social spheres of human existence. The creation of enneagram signs is adapted from the twelve astrology signs. While enneagram types describe ones egocentric personality, enneagram signs are given by the cosmos at birth; they are one of a kind and reveal ones soul-centered personality. With the addition of nine signs and stages of development through the life cycle, the enneagram becomes a system in motion and reveals more of its insights. With the addition of nine enneagram letter groups from the alphabet, you can understand what the trinity and enneagram says about the personality of your name.

An updated and expanded examination into the groundbreaking exploration and connection of two of the most powerful mystical traditions. Patterns in our lives may escape us; reasons for our behavior often confuse us. To help us better understand the interplay of these dynamics, Rabbi Howard A. Addison combines two of the most powerful maps of consciousness known to humanity: the Tree of Life (the sefirot) from the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, and the nine-pointed Enneagram that was developed over several generations by mystics of several spiritual traditions. Individually, each offers guidance and wisdom; together, they show the forces that propel us and shape our personalities and behavior. Most important, the two suggest how we can live more harmoniously with ourselves and with others, minimize friction and tension and discover our own spiritual gateway to God. In this updated and expanded edition of his pioneering book, Rabbi Addison explores new understandings of the stages and pitfalls we experience along life's journey and the ways we can transcend the limits of our personalities in search of greater wholeness. He shows that, when brought together, the Enneagram and Kabbalah may enhance understanding of humanity's deepest motivations--both individually and collectively--thus opening wider the gate to personal growth.

Author A. J. Sherrill still remembers the moment when his life was forever changed by a word he didn't even understand at the time: Enneagram. A personality theory that includes nine different "types," the Enneagram has become a popular tool for self-awareness and improvement. But in this book, Sherrill goes deeper, exploring with Christians how the Enneagram can be a pathway to profound spiritual transformation. Sherrill reveals the Enneagram as a tool to unlock new ways of viewing identity, personality, discipleship, spiritual practices, evangelism, and the Bible. Using this fresh approach, Sherrill shows how our true identity is that of a beloved child of God. Recognizing that, we can move confidently into the world expressing this identity through our unique personality. Through Sherrill's detailed spiritual exploration of each type, readers will emerge viewing the Enneagram as a precious gift to following Jesus more closely. Foreword by Chuck DeGroat.
