Description

There exists a totally unknown system that codifies the very specific manner in which we think, feel and behave. It reveals the influence on us of planetary energies. There have been several nine type depictions. These all took the diagram as it already existed, and applied various ideas to it. The 12-Type Enneagram, on the other hand, is the original. It reveals planetary essence types.

From ancient times we have known people are not all the same. Some are naturally light, some heavy, some generous and open, others aggressive and warlike. We know names connected with the planets. We call fast-moving people Mercurial(for the planet Mercury), those of serious disposition Saturnine (Saturn) and warm, generous types are called Jovial (Jupiter). These planetary types and more are present in The 12-Type Enneagram.

All of us are one or another of the types. The book identifies our type and informs how we learn other peoples types. Sections include family, friends, work, sex, love and relationships, and how we can consciously develop using the system. We cannot escape the influence of the type rays. Much of what we regret, do not understand or feel the brunt of comes from these unknown influences (war, prejudice and conflicts are all unconscious type behaviours). By gaining the knowledge we set ourselves free and increase our ability to live well. Up till now this knowledge has been lost, or limited to esoteric schools of knowledge. Now it is available for us all.
