An advanced exploration of the popular enneagram typology that shows how every type can overcome key fixations and unlock their highest potential from beloved author and spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas. While many books focus on the enneagram as a fun way to understand your personality, that approach is limited. This book goes deeper into the enneagram, which was originally developed to help people find the ultimate freedom of consciousness and achieve spiritual liberation. While this is a stand alone, it can also be read as a companion volume to A.H Almaas's first book on the enneagram, Facets of Unity. In this new book, he brings us back to this original mission, as he shares the essential keys that will help readers break free from the limitations and distortions of each type's fixation. Almaas offers the opportunity for readers to go beyond learning their type to attain a measure of awareness of themselves and freedom from the confines of their type's fixation, and ultimately to find ways to express their true spiritual nature in everyday life. A. H. Almaas, the author of more than a dozen books, is the pen name of A. Hameed Ali, the originator of the Diamond Approach to the realization of our true nature. Since 1976 he has guided individuals and groups through his school of inner work, the Ridhwan School, which has branches in California, Colorado, and Europe. His most recent books are Love Unveiled, The Alchemy of Freedom, The Power of Divine Eros, The Unfolding Now, and Runaway Realization. Almaas's teaching, which originated in his own experience of personal transformation, is informed by his grounding in spiritual traditions (e.g., the Gurdjieff Work, Sufism), depth psychology (he has a PhD in psychology), and scientific inquiry (MA in physics). Respected teachers and writers who have praised his work include Ken Wilber, Jack Kornfield, John Welwood, Helen Palmer, and Sherry Ruth Anderson. |
