Everyone wants to be happy. Even those who hate themselves and those who do violence to others can trace the drive back to the deepest unfulfilled desire for happiness.

Why is it that so few people are truly happy and fulfilled? How is it that the universal quest for happiness has led to the full spectrum of suffering on planet Earth?

The Enneagram of Liberation offers an answer to this puzzle and points to the solution.

In our time, the Enneagram of Liberation has appeared as an illusory medicine to cure an illusory disease. The disease is the egoic idea of separation based in the story of „me and my life.“ The cure is to look in the wisdom mirror of the Enneagram to see past all false identification, to your true identity.

Benefits of knowing your fixation

The great gift of the Enneagram of Liberation is that it gives us the precise structure of the knot of ego. Awareness is the sword, and the Enneagram shows us the knot that needs to be cut. In this way enlightenment, or self-realization, is possible.

The Enneagram reveals how we have falsely identified ourselves as a body with behaviors, thoughts and feelings. The trap of our spiritual culture is to try to be an elightened “somebody” but the ego cannot become enlightened.

Once these patterns of subconscious identification are brought to light, they can be discarded in the search for the true “I.” In this way, the Enneagram is immediately useful in the process of awakening, or enlightenment.

When we are ready to look directly at that which we have hidden, avoided justified, and what we are running from and what we are trying to get, the Enneagram gives us wisdom mirror to see our true selves. It provides us the opportunity to see the mechanical nature of the ego that we have identified as “self.” In this way, the Enneagram is extremely precise in its description of what is false, so that what is true may be revealed.

With the Enneagram you can start recognizing the patterns of eogic fixation not only in yourself, but also in your relationships. Forgiveness and compassion become possible when you discover that each one of us is simply wired a little differently, each having a different process for searching for happiness. Recognizing your parents’ egoic structure gives insight into what may seem to have been inexcusable behavior. With this understanding, we can begin to forgive ourselves, our partners, our parents, and our children. We can stop demanding that the people in our lives be different from the way they are. We can stop demanding apples from a pear tree.

Through the process of recognizing our patterns of fixation, something very important takes place. Conscious mind inevitably realizes that there is more going on in life than meets the eye.

The great potential of the Enneagram is that it can be used to cut your identification with the ego. You can discover that the ego is just a pattern; it is not who you are. You can see through the veils of false identity to realize the truth.

Once you have seen through all false identification, it is possible to realize true freedom, to live as boundless essence of being rather than in the imagination of who you believe yourself to be. Free from imagining yourself to be who you are not, you will recognize your own Self everywhere. In this meeting with your Self, you are the silent embodiment of happiness and bliss.
