  • This is the third video in the series of videos introducing the Enneagram of Cosmic Laws, an online course hosted by the Edinburgh International Centre for Spirituality and Peace starting on 7th November this year. The first simply addresses the question, "What is the Enneagram". The second deals with the roots of the cosmic laws in Perennial Wisdom stretching back to at least 3,000 BCE. In this video I focus on the origins of the Enneagram symbol itself, and show how it evolved over time from the its origins in Pythagorean sacred geometry that was picked up by the Desert Fathers in Egypt in the 4th century to the 17th century C.E. In particular I show how the mystical streams of all three Abrahamic Faiths knew about the principles that lie behind the Enneagram.

    The flower of life and geometry has become an obsession for me and is 💯 linked to my meditations and spirituality

    That was interesting Ken. 35:15 / 36:58 That Jewish Kabbalah's Tree of Life Really depicts in full a description of the experiential inner enneagram of the awakened individual. I'm impressed.
    Looking at the construct of three on the left and five in the central row from up to down and three on the right I would be curious if there was a link to the six instinctual variants with the three on the left and right of the five in the central. The final five in the centre could be linked to the Hole Brain Thinking Model with the bottom being the hole brain centre of the four quadrants.
    Just perspicaciously lateral thinking the model. I have no evidence at this point for such a corelation. Just curious if such a correlation exists.
    It's also interesting that there are nine energies and two shocks, and that the Jewish Kabbalah's Tree of Life has eleven interconnecting components.

      Your comment really caught my attention, so I feel drawn to say something here that I would never usually say in a public forum. I have found my way to this video as a part of some incredibly extensive research into the cause of a disorder I have been facing. If I were to go into detail, most would say I was crazy (and technically, they would be somewhat correct, at least in the sense that I have a serious mental illness that impairs my ability to function and to live a normal life). So instead, I'll just say that my current branch of research is focused on Kabbalah and any symbolism involved.
      Now, to address your comment and why it made me feel the need to respond...
      Apparently, there IS some sort of connection between the structure of Kabbalah's Tree of Life and the quadrants of the brain. I've seen a few videos that mention it. The problem is, I don't particularly care to go into detail about them. I'll just say that if this is something you're truly curious about, you should try searching for the information because it IS out there. It may be buried in some dark places, but I've come across it more than once. There IS something to it and I'll be adding it to my list of "things to research more thoroughly" as well.
      I'm also an INFP, btw 😅

      @@Jack.0ctober I had just finished writing something relevant to what you are talking about making the Laws of three seven and one within.
      My (S) my third preference is like the neutral position in a trinary of three positive and negative and neutral. (F) would be at point three positive, (N) would be at point 6 negative, and (S) at point Nine neutral. When I switch on or activate to the Higher emotional centre and higher mental centre the two shocks felt would be the negative at point three turning or flipping too positive, First-Shock and the positive at point six turning too negative Second Shock felt the dual in the everything feeling as it is both mass and energy would be the continues osculation's between negative and positive at both points as if for some need points six and three needs to return back to negative and positive the entropic state. The spiritual state or higher state has that dual switching going on and you can hold it all day. The Nural at point Nine I stated talking about is like the screen it is dual it is a self and screen osculation's dyad.
      Interestingly if you sum the osculation's at Points three six and nine, we sum six and the universe being host is the seventh. You know Univers is Host when you switch on and if someone says Universe is not Host then they are not in the switched-on state.
      Another way to describe it to take a breath and allow yourself to end up on the other side of the Mind Heart Duality. When you, authentically switch on like in the morning when awaken you can place your hand on your heart and breath yourself in and in doing so you cross the divide of the dual and you are switched on there is no shock felt because the path has already been established, just that lighter spacious comfortable feeling of being authentically balanced.
      I keep forgetting to get to the point. The Neutral being at point nine enables the points six and three to be the positive and negative a multiplicity and the screen being a neutral means the information projected on to the screen can be of any natural nature. That is F***ing amazing that it is so simple to explain. You can see the stress in the body and see illness like a cancer or you can choose not to see anything like that at all. It's amazing. Its miraculous. Thats why thinkers call the search for experiencing the authentic self as being in search of the miraculous.
      Anyways enough of my waffle no one is really interested in the metaphysical level of reality. At least not until it's too late. I wonder how the global stability traveling along the geopolitical unrest between faction's shore is becoming intense.

      @@Jack.0ctober Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you get you head problems sorted out.
      You are an INFP 9w1? If so, this may be helpful for you. Your third preference is the S function and last is the T function. IN order to get to the balanced state of utilising higher emotional centre and higher mental centre making the law of three seven and one is essential. I will cut and paste something I just finished writing on a forum. I was talking to a INFP 9w1 sp/so tritype 926 (9w1, 2w1, 6w7,) about point six and seven and subsidiary wings for the primary type nine.
      As a INFP 9w1 sp/so tritype 926 (9w1, 2w1, 6w7,) Your ISFP and ESFP must be often felt. Your Sp/sx must have some order of influence upon your third preference (S) in INFP.

    A beautiful presentation. I have approached it all from so many angles now. I like how you put things into an order to explain your perspective.
