That is the ultimate enlightenment goal for every type: giving up the feeling that one particular type of behavior, attitude or feeling is the source of infinite love and goodness; being free to both fulfill and leave behind one's type by transcending it through the inner connection to the Creator. I'll say more about this as we go. I'm very interested in what you will have to say about the developmental pattern that I'll discuss tomorrow.
Quote:What if you are not a certain type but what type you feel you are is a type that your inner self is telling you to work on for maximum flow of the infinite energy through the energy centers?
First, look for the enlightenment present within the moment, through the lens of the type of energy you feel called to express at that time. Remember that each of the nine states of consciousness are available to any person at any moment. Type simply means an inherent affinity for one of those states of consciousness to be more easily reachable, by innate character and/or habit.
A key point I'm just about to get to is that in a balanced mature life, we constantly cycle around the enneagram, using each energy as a tool, then releasing it to move on to the next tool in the next moment. Think of a toolbox containing screwdriver, saw, tape measure, etc. If you glued any one tool to your arm, no matter how useful that tool is in some circumstances, you'd be really stuck when you have a different next step of your project.

So if fear was cut from the equation then would that mean a healthy loop?
The fundamental fear for everyone is that we might not be good enough to deserve God's love, unless we try harder to be something other than ourselves and to do something other than be present with love. The only difference between types at their worst is what hallucination we have about how little God loves us. The only difference between types at their best is which color of the rainbow most inspires us to follow the light to its source. Much more about this as the series continues.
