"You are not your Enneagram type. You might identify with your personality style, but who you are in truth is not a personality. You might operate regularly from ego, but you are not your ego. You might routinely default to certain attitudinal habits, fixations, or compulsions characteristic of your type, but nevertheless, you, in essence, can never be defined or limited by any of these.
" 'We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience' (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin). Granted, you may have fallen asleep to your true nature simply as part of the journey of becoming human. You, like most of us, might even need regular support to stir your wakefulness and to help you to reawaken day to day or even moment to moment (very much a part of being human). But … your true nature is indescribably exquisite, loving, dynamic, and radiant. Remember this and remind yourself of this often, even as you continue to deepen in your Enneagram journey."
