15 The Unawakened Personality and the Enneagram

The unhealthy personality is not us but, rather, the thoughts and emotions that we have created to get what we mistakenly think we do not have.  Because we are separated from our Being we no longer fully experience true Love, Peace, and Happiness. Though we get glimpses from time to time.  In order to try to regain Love, Peace, and Happiness we form a getting machine called personality made of tools called thoughts and emotions.  There are only 9 ways to form a personality.  The enneagram describes these 9 ways.  3 personality types are centered around anger, 3 around abandonment, 3 around fear. The personality that forms tries to get satisfied by manufacturing or capturing, getting, Love, Peace, and Happiness.  The harder it tries the more cut off we become.  There are many free enneagram tests and description on the internet.  Google and see if this info would be helpful but don't get lost in it all.  Thankfully we are not our personality and the pain it often causes both within and without.  Yes, the personality can be a maladaptive way to try to get what you already are.  However it doesn't have to be. Instead we can form and flow into a healthy personality. Our healthy personality can express our Being which is Love, Peace and Happiness.These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last.  Though they, also, all stand on their own.  Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.  If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.www.williamecooper.wordpress.com for more support.  You may, especially, enjoy the short contemplations and the resource page which gives you some supportive material.
