Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1028 of our Trek and time for our Philosophy Friday series. Each Friday we will ponder some of the basic truths and mysteries of life, and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy. As we continue on this trek called life, sometimes we have questions about life, so our Friday trek is a time where we can ‘Ask Gramps.’ Gramps will answer questions that you would like to ask your dad or granddad, but for whatever reason, this is not possible. No matter how old we are, I know that all of us would like the opportunity to ask dad or gramps questions about life in many areas.
Understanding ourselves better, and how others may interpret life through their paradigm, will allow us to interact with each other with more love and compassion. This can be achieved by utilizing a profound tool call ‘The Enneagram.’ The tool that we refer to as the Enneagram (Any-a-Gram) is a circle with nine interconnected points (Ennea refers to 9 and Gram referring to a drawing). Check out today's or prior week’s Wisdom Journal for a representation of it. I have also included in today’s Wisdom Journal a copy of ‘The Enneagram At-A-Glance’ which was compiled by Suzanne H Eller. If you would like a PDF copy, click on the link in today’s Wisdom Journal located on our website Wisdom-Trek.com.
For additional insight, I recommend the book ‘The Road Back to You’ written by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile. It is an excellent book about an enneagram journey to self-discovery from a Christian perspective.
We have concluded our deep dive into the nine personality types which are ‘The Reformer,’ ‘The Helper,’ ‘The Achiever,’ ‘The Individualist,’ “The Investigator,” “The Loyalist,” “The Enthusiast,” “The Challenger,” and “The Peacemaker.” Six weeks ago, we began a series of episodes on Type Combinations. What are the potential relationship benefits and issues with each combination? Covering all of the 45 different potential type combinations will take several weeks, but will be valuable in understanding each other, regardless of what type you are, and what type those whom you interact with each day.
Since we are exploring the Enneagram in detail, and I would also recommend reading the Wisdom Journal for each Friday to see the diagrams presented each week. As helpful as the Enneagram is, keep in mind though, it is still only a tool, and cannot replace or usurp the precepts that are found in God’s Word. All decisions and actions that we make in life must be in harmony with God’s precepts.
So the questions for the next several weeks will be:
The Enneagram Type Combinations
The Enneagram Type Combinations
Enneagram Type Three (the Achiever)
with
Enneagram Type Four (the Individualist)
What Each Type Brings to the Relationship
These two types can form something of a complementary relationship, with each bringing important qualities to the relationship that the other generally lacks. Enneagram Fours can teach Threes how to talk about themselves on a deeper level and help acknowledge and process their feelings. They can also bring Threes more sensitivity, a feeling for beauty and for the non-practical but fulfilling aspects ...
