As human beings we are often not centred in our true best self – coming more from a reactive self.  Lean more about how to be more your true self, more often.

When ego is at play we can experience internal conflict or a lack of unity with others – often the case when communicating with loved ones. This can lead to us feeling stuck, unbalanced or out of alignment. There is a way out of this!

Respecting differences between people truly enhances relationships with all the people you care about, not just a primary partner.

Your Enneagram Journey is incomplete without learning the advanced material. The model is complex, and takes time to integrate. You will gain further insights into your ego personality and the patterns you’d rather not have. We feel you will now be wanting to delve into the deeper system, moving beyond the sense of ‘that was nice to know’.
Now we are looking into the Enneagram Types at a deeper and more influential level, to gain
more awareness and self-leadership around:
      
  • Understanding our core drives and working with them
  • Levels of Development – Health Levels within our Enneagram Type
  • How to grow and mature in our type
  • Better managing our relationships
  • Being a leader of people
  • Avoiding self-sabotage
  • Spirit and healing – from the inside out
  • Find greater fulfilment – from ego to truer self.

Levels of Development

The Levels Of Development information is a key contribution by Don Riso from Enneagram Institute. The Levels are a measure of our consciousness, our ability to be present and to maintain contact with the moment. It is not only used to explain variations between people of the same type, but also used to understand the level of health within a type through measuring our degree of identification with our personality structure, how liberated and aware, or how defended and shut down.

For ease of understanding, the 9 Levels are usually grouped into 3 groups as follows:

  • Healthy – levels 1 through 3 (high functioning aspects of the type)
  • Average – levels 4 through 6 (normal behaviours of the type)
  • Unhealthy – levels 7 through 9 (deeply dysfunctional manifestations of the type)
At unhealthy level “7-9”, a lot of our destructive patterns of behaviour are driven by a core fear that relates to our core Enneagram type, we become so identified with our personality structure, and out of touch with reality. 

At an average level “4-6” (most people operate in this area), we are less reactive, but the core fear still drives and motivates behaviours to a large extent. 

At healthy level “1-3”, we no longer identify with our ego, we are more ‘self-aware’ and can let go of a particular self-image, have more understanding of our core fears and move beyond the limitations of our core Enneagram type.

The level at which we operate changes throughout the day, we generally move up and down Levels within a range. This is also generally true for us  at any point in our life.

For example, we may have operated between levels 4 through 6  earlier in life, and operating at levels 3 through 5 in later part of our life.

Healthy Levels

Level 1 – Liberation (Ego transcended-balance and freedom)
Level 2 – Psychological Capacity (Ego is identified as an ideal-self)
Level 3 – Social Value (Ego operating in a constructive way)

Average Levels

Level 4  – Imbalance (Ego-role assumed, defences increased)
Level 5 – Interpersonal Control (Manipulative & Defended)
Level 6 – Overcompensation (Ego inflation, conflicts with others)

Unhealthy Levels

Level 7 – Violation (Survival tactic, neurotic)
Level 8 – Delusion and Compulsion (Major personality disorder)
Level 9 – Pathological Destructiveness (Psychosis, breakdown)
