Enneagram in a nutshell

The enneagram is a complex symbol representing the relationship between the nature of consciousness and the form of things. It gained popularity through its connection to elements of character and patterns of humanity. The enneagram consists of nine points, each representing gifts, capacities, and needs of human beings. The original idea was not about fitting into specific boxes but understanding how identifying too much with any one of the points could limit one's total humanity and learning to free oneself from such habits.
