Intro to Critical Thinking

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore continue their deep dive into critical thinking as a fundamental thing they believe is important for the Enneagram community. They discuss a few ideas on how to think critically and why it’s important.“If you are positioning yourself to be a teacher of the Enneagram, but you are not working on your critical or clear thinking skills, then you are being irresponsible.” -Mario [20:41]“When we’re working with the Enneagram, if we were seekers after truth, we need to think critically, and that involves seeing other people for who they are and not who we think they are.” -María José [30:54]“As a rather emotional human, critical thinking has aided me in being able to actually more clearly and more deeply experience these emotions, whether they make sense or not.” -Creek [31:17]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:17] Examples of using critical thinking[04:41] What is Neoplatonic essentialism[10:29] Religion and the Enneagram[17:54] Critical thinking does not goes against spirituality or religion[21:10] Five obstacles to critical thinking and five solutions to them[25:37] High degree of confidence and intellectual character[31:08] What’s happening is not always the whole situation [32:17] Fundamental attribution error[34:34] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand Mario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @creekmoremusicPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism
