Founder Stephan Pacheco's Comments
The Enneagram and Its Teachers

Want a Teacher?

For further information on Stephan's comments on the Enneagram teachers see: To my Courageous Humankind, The Traps of Bliss

Many people, especially people in the U.S., like to think of themselves as individuals.  However we are not so individual.  There are a limited number of ways that we can interpret our environment through the filter of fear.  Fear is a very limiting and debilitative disease.  Like cancer, the ego has a certain specific form that lets it exist in its physical world.  (For example, water must be made up of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen, or it is not water.)  The Enneagram is an important and useful tool in helping a seeker of freedom see how fear imprisons them.  It is ancient and it is impressive and it will help you see the pattern of your disease. It takes a great deal of honesty to be able to use the Enneagram effectively.  It is painful at times, but the pain will  only yield purity, bliss, and freedom. 

A WORD OF CAUTION:  When taking on a teacher be wary of those whom charge large amounts for their services.  Sure, we live in a capitalistic society, but what you might notice is that many of the teachers and students of the Enneagram are extremely wealthy is the US.  A partial reason for this is that the wealthy have the time to seek bliss more diligently while still affording the comforts of the physical world.  You may notice that these types of students and teachers have many contradictions and that as you progress in your unveiling of the self/Atman/Oberman, that you will notice places in their egos where they are greatly hung up because they are Trapped by Bliss.  They enter into the comfort zone that many spiritualists or religious people often enter into.  It is important to not fall into this trap.  It is important to know it exists.  Go into the teaching environment clear minded and non-judgmental and you shall gain much.  The greatest use of having a teacher is that it is easier for someone else to see a problem with you than it is for you to see a problem with you.  Unfortunately for the teacher, it is harder for them to see what is wrong with themselves and not one tells them because they have assumed the role of a teacher.  

In deconstructing the ego, a common exercise to ask yourself, "What am I not willing to give up?" and "How do I sell myself out for love?"  Don't ever stop that.  Ask yourself, "What am I without bliss?"  Let that go to. 

Use the Enneagram and its teachers for what you can, but to not get sucked in to the trap of belonging.  Just as you must use LibertyCore, use other tools.  Do not let them own you, or blind you.  And never, never become self-righteous about what you are using. 

Adore it, but don't worship it.
