"The Five's Lost Child , Fives wonder, Is it safe to come out?"

The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram: Nine Faces of the Soul
by Sandra Maitri

Sandra Maitri's "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is, without doubt, the most insightful and meaningful book on the nine temperaments, but caution potential readers that this is not a "beach read" and is best suited as reading for those who are seriously ready to take a deeper look at their own psycho-spiritual essence and soul. This is not a pop-psychology "personality typing" book, but rather a valuable guide for people on their journey of self-discovery, transformation and self-realization.

The book DOES touch on the Nine Temperaments of the enneagram in the personality type" context most people know it, and it covers the psychological aspects of the different types. The majority of "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is dedicated to a thorough discussion of each of the nine temperaments, examining the way each has "lost touch" with its essence or "Holy Idea;" describing the psychological and environmental circumstances for these losses, and then offering guidance on how to recover the part of the self that has been lost.

The term "sprituality" by no means makes this a "religious" book. Instead, it is a book about understanding and healing our souls, regardless of religious orientation.

The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.

Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

This is why, if you:

The Five's Lost Child ---------- Inside of every self-enclosed, withdrawn, and quiet Five lives a little lost child who dreams of getting even and of devouring endless pints of ice cream. This lost child delights in getting down and dirty, slogging it out with the other kids, and lustfully immersing in life. This child may show up as to curses the other automobile drivers within the isolation of their own car, screams at the referee while watcdhing a footgall game on TV, or condemns all the politicians as crooks while listening to the evening news.

A Five’s lost child can be a little bully and a little bigot, convinced that he is right and closed to any other possibilities. He may be defensive and denying about any perceived weakness, reacting with aggression when challenged. They can by punitive and vindictive, wanting to get even with others who he feels have wronged them.

For a Five, these tendencies of their lost child can be challenging to acknowledge and allow, since they betoken a zesty and gutsy engagement with life that appears very threatening. Their vibrancy and aliveness, their strength and their courage – was damped down. The vindictive and self-avenging tendencies of their lost child when it first appears may well be their lost’s response to this stifling. In reaction, a Five withdrew and cut himself off from their vitality.

As they allows their lusty and dynamic lost child to surface, a Five will gradually reconnect with their aliveness and will progressively feel more part of life itself. As they integrates their lost child, their knowing become more embodied and inclusive since their heart and their belly also become involved. As they contacts the courage to face the unknown, their life become more and more of an exciting and engaging adventure that there is fully and heartily immersed in.
