The Enneagram is not what many think it is. And sadly, many have chosen to not even look into the origins of the occult practice, and in turn become deceived. It’s a heavy New Age occult practice that is infiltrating the churches. It’s the opposite of what Christ has told us. Please seek the Lord and ask Him to help you see 🙏 When we sit with the Lord, trusting Him instead of man and ourselves, our hearts WILL break for what breaks His. So when we see things slipping in, we will know better and no longer compromise. And if we have fallen into the trap, the Lord has told us, all we need to do is realize, genuinely repent, returning back to our first love. 🙏
I wanted to share some points from an article describing the Enneagram:
“What is your number, the Enneagram asks. What is the Enneagram, you may ask back. An increasingly popular tool of personality analysis, the Enneagram is a diagram depicting numbers one through nine, with lines connecting each number to two other numbers. The Enneagram was promoted by mystic George Gurdjieff (1866?-1949) and by his followers, P. D. Ouspensky (1878-1947) and Oscar Ichazo (b. 1931). Gurdjieff's followers claimed that Gurdjieff gave one story of having learned the Enneagram from the Sufis (a mystical spin-off sect of Islam), though the Sufi source has been debunked.
Psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo (b. 1932), a pioneer of New Age related psychological theories, breathed new life into the Enneagram by refining it as a tool of psychological assessment in which a person discovers his number in the chart, and then studies the best and worst traits of that number via the diagram. Each number represents a particular personality type, and is connected to two other numbers, one which supposedly highlights the worst traits, and the other representing the best.”
“In the 1990s, the Enneagram star rose in the secular world, and several business companies began to use it as a tool for personality analysis. At the time, this writer found this odd since the Enneagram, technically speaking, is an occult tool. There is no objective basis for the nine numbers, their categories (such as Reformer, Helper, Achiever, Individualist, etc), or the alleged relationships between the numbers. Most importantly, the Enneagram has as its purpose a spiritual awakening.
The Enneagram purports to lead a person to not only self-understanding, but to an integration of all aspects of the self and, ultimately, to an awakening to the true Self. "Self" is capitalized because the Self is considered by the original (and most contemporary) Enneagram teachers to be divine. The nine numbers most likely originate with Ichazo's belief in the "nine divine forms" of Self, a Self which supposedly has been subverted by ego distortions. There are also the "triads," which is how "your" number is related both positively and negatively through two other numbers. The philosophy for this is directly derived from the esoteric values of Sacred Geometry and from Gnostic views of the self as sacred and pure in essence.”
