Big Hormone Enneagram

In our first ever bonus episode, John and Emeka explore the enneagrammic and inner work insights from the Netflix show Dark Season 3. SPOILER ALERT: Don’t listen if you haven’t seen the show. We focus on on the inescapable cycle of the knot and Adam’s futile attempts to free himself. The parallels to inner work and the law of 3. The need for a 3rd force to free ourselves from perpetuating the same patterns that imprison us.

We need to talk about astrology y’all. Od, a comedian and astrologer, is with us this week to help us explore what insights astrology has for inner work. First, we address skepticism of astrology. What astrology is looking at vs the enneagram. What is astrology and how does it work? What are the 3 most important aspects of a natal chart? Collective astrology and the coronavirus. Racism and America’s shadow Pluto Return. Od’s journey from the enneagram to astrology. Gurdjieff and the significance of cosmic events for inner work. And we wrap up with the astrological vibe of our BHE crew.

This week we’re recapping what we've learned from our series of type interviews. We start out on the nature of type wings. The introspective inner beam of 4 and the ‘in the dark’ quality of types fully in the gap. The parallels between 9s and 3s absorbing and taking in outside perspectives as their own. The universal quality of the 369 Bermuda types and their connection to people. The self-orientation of the hexad types. The perception of 8s as confident vs how they experience themselves on the inside. And we wrap up with why 4 is the Chad/Stacy of the enneagram.

This week we’re talking about the Black Lives Matter protests. How to confront racism and its parallels to inner work and the enneagram. How actively working to undo unconscious racism is inner work. Race and Class as personality types and unconscious biases that have to be uncovered and faced the same way we do our enneagram types. Wanting to be healthy and good as a bypass to the finish line vs educating ourselves and confronting what needs changing continually. We wrap up with a story of how racial profiling sent cops with guns to Emeka's apartment.

We finally wrangled a couple of 7s to join us to dive into the heart of 7. The dark side of 7 that people don’t get to see. The sudden whiplash when 7s get frustrated and critical. The unexpressed guilt of 7s, and how it’s expressed for 7w6 vs 7w8. What social and sexual 7s are like. How 7s experience the passage of time. And we wrap up with some shit talking.

Gurdjief’s discovery of the enneagram symbol in Egypt. What the symbol means and the cosmic laws it represents. The enneagram of process explained. The difference between essence vs personality. Personality as the unbalanced use of the three centers of intelligence. And how inner work is a practice to be more present through sensation in all three centers. John is teaching a weekly online enneagram class this month at Maharose. Check it out at the link below: https://www.maharose.com/products/mondays-june-1st-22nd-online-the-enneagram-4-week-series

We’re back where we left off in the M9GA series with more POTUS. Our 9s start off with their experience of fear of loss and separation. How the 9 connection to everything is in opposition with the over-specificity of 4. The slippery fish quality of 9s not wanting to be pinned down, and the 9’s need for space in relationships. We check in with how our 9s are dealing with corona anxiety and their line to 6. And we wrap up with how we tricked our 9s into doing this podcast.

Two texan sexual 6s are with us this week to get into the guts of 6. We start out with their boldness and attraction to high pressure situations. Unpacking what Naranjo’s sexual 6 ‘Strength and Beauty’ means. The 6 line to 3 and the need to ‘earn it’ through hard work and prove they're deserving. 6 anti-narcissism vs 4’s ‘i’m the gift’. Why 6s anticipate criticism, put themselves down, and self-sabotage. How 6s can overcome their inner critic and allow themselves to be great. We wrap up with some clear differences between 6s and 4s.
