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:

What Is Bipolar Disorder And Helpful Tips To Identify This Awful Disease   
David Horvath

Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition or a long term illness which usually begins in the adolescence or early adulthood and can continue through out the life. As it is episodic, it is usually not recognized by the people as a psychological problem.

The cause of bipolar disorder can be hereditary or genetic. Some environmental factors like the death of an intimate one, the financial difficulties, or the parent’s divorce etc also can cause psychological problems which can end up with bipolar disorder. Usually it is caused by the imbalances in certain brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Abnormal functioning of the hormones, especially thyroid hormones adversely affects these neurotransmitters.

The symptoms of bipolar disorder can be classified to the periods of ups and downs called mania and depression.

Mania is the state of excess excitability occurred by the increased energy, activities and restlessness. The person becomes in a euphoric state of mood and finds himself exceptionally good. But he may not be able to concentrate well on anything he does. Racing thoughts, talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another frequently, extreme irritability, little want of sleep, denial for anything, spending sprees, increased sexual drive, exaggerated optimism etc all can be the symptoms of mania. The mild to the moderate level of mania is often called hypomania. Mania and hypomania are not less harmful than the depressive phase, as if not diagnosed and treated properly; they also can lead to depression ultimately.

Depression is another extreme condition which is caused by the bipolar disorder. The persons who are suffering from depression will usually find themselves in a persistent state of sadness and anxiety. They will become pessimist in their outlooks and feels hopeless. They usually suffer from a guilty consciousness and worthlessness. The usual pleasure which they gain from any activities will be lost and energy will be decreased. They can have a feeling of being slowed down in the regular activities. They will find it difficult to concentrate in anything they are doing. The people suffering from depression will feel a restlessness and irritability. They some times sleep too much or sometimes cannot sleep. They can have the change in the appetite which can cause unintended weight loss or gain. The worst thing they suffer is suicidal thoughts or suicidal attempts. They may try to put themselves in a situation which can cause death or injuries for them.

Bipolar disorder can be there who has the psychotic problems too. Either severe mania or depression can lead to this. Common psychotic symptoms include hallucinations in which the person can hear and sense the presence of the objects or persons who are not actually there. For some other people, there can be delusions, the false and strongly held beliefs which are not influenced by the logical reasoning or can be explained by the cultural aspects.

Bipolar disorder is subdivided into bipolar 1 disorder, bipolar 2 disorder, cyclothymia etc, depending up on their severity.

Bipolar disorder can be reduced with the help of proper medications, counseling, and psychotherapies, though cannot be cured completely. Those who suspect of having a bipolar disorder should seek the consultation of a good psychiatrist, as sometimes this is incorrectly diagnosed as major depression, schizophrenia or other mental problems.

The overall orientation of Sandra Maitri group will be the shifting over time of one's identity and sense of self from the personality or ego to our deeper and ultimate nature — Being; and just as importantly, the integration of this experiential knowledge such that one's everyday life becomes a lived and fulfilling expression of that deeper nature. The confluence in recent decades of the streams of psychological and spiritual wisdom afford a wide range of unprecedented avenues of access to spiritual development. This confluence will be an important part of the orientation of this group.

Did you know?

The Power of Nine is your Key to Happiness and Joy.

There are nine Temperaments. Fifty percent (50%) of your happiness is determined by your Temperament.

Understanding your Temperament Type allows you to work with it and increase your own happiness. The ways individual people inherently view the world/themselves and process information are not the same but do tend to group in different clumps.

Pick the person about that you admire, like and think you are like and click on that number below and listen to the Video.

One way to view this distribution is as nine basic Temperaments Types. They all need different experiences to be really happy.

What do they really want?

Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.

Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.

Temperament Three examples are: Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Clinton. These people are attracted to and value productivity, industry, and competence. They envision making the world more productive, organized, efficient, and smooth running. They see the universe as chaos and want to really make it a cosmos, a harmonious and orderly system.

Why aren’t all people with a given Temperament Type successful?

You probably know a bunch of people with the same Temperament Type. Why are some successful and others are not. Why the difference? The difference is Emotional Intelligence. We use Emotional Quotient. (EQ) as a shorthand to describe Emotional Intelligence.

A person may have a high IQ. They did well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. They may even be in MENSA, the select high-IQ club and still fail in business and relationships. Why are they not successful?

The answer:

Your IQ determines 20 % of your success, which leaves 80% to other forces. This is stated by Daniel Goleman the Author of “Emotional Intelligence.”

A person with a high IQ does not mean they know how to manage their thoughts and feelings any more successfully than a person with a low IQ. Success requires taking the emotional data, making sense of that data, and integrating it into your decision-making. People with higher EQ does this better.

By increasing your EQ you can use your thoughts and emotions of your Temperament Type to make the best possible decisions. Increased EQ help you get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others.

EQ challenges the conventional belief that emotions are in the way of good decisions. By increasing your EQ it is possible to learn how to use your emotions to make better decisions. By increasing your EQ, it is possible to increase your wisdom and energy required for high performance. The Increasing your EQ is a teachable life skill. If people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathetic manager and a more empathetic father

Why do we use numbers?

Sevens are the:. Visionary, Epicure, Entertainer, Optimist, Adventurer, Rationalizer, Optionist. We use numbers rather than these names.

We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.

The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.

No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society. You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”

People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.

The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
