Where did you get one divided by seven?

[jurgensp]

@DSXmachine The enneagram consist of a system of three and a system of seven where the two share one point. If you number the enneagram points with point 9 being the top point of the enneagram then the three system is point 3,6 and 9 and the seven is the points 1,2,4,5,7,8,9. If you now take the result of 1 divided by seven you will see that the repetitive pattern of the inner lines are 142857. Hope it helps.

many cultures had parts of it like I-ching and ancient jewish and babylonians but it was really explored and fully understood only this century by riso and his teacher; as far as we now anyway

Thank you for the information and comment.

templedances, books is a good source of information but ultimately one has to find a teacher. An beyond that integrate the information through practical application. I am sure you understand that since you are doing Gurdjieff dances.

Thank you for your video. As you know, it's impossible (law of gauss) to make a perfect enneagram (9 points at equal distances on a circle). We know 11 way to draw an enneagram. But the real meanning is not in the drawing but in the real understanding of the law of 3 in three totalities, the law of seven, and the law of cosmos.

[jurgensp]

Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you. The law of three, the law of seven and the law of cosmos is important to understand.

no man, you have to draw it without having to stop and stard a different point.

Wow! What a great video jurgensp! I recently found out myself that I am a type 6. Anyways, as I was searching more information about Type 6's, I found this awesome active forum were Enneagram users can come together and chat with other Enneagram users called "Personality Cafe". Just go on google and search for the keywords "Personality Cafe." I met a lot of enneagram users friends their and found more info about what its like to be a Type 6. Just want to help my fellow enneagram users out!

Hi, Dresden again, after reading up some on the enneagram The insight struck me that it is similiar to my interpretation of the rune HAGALAZ, wich I call the great awakener, for the cold hail will awaken the sleeping prince.

[ullervang111]
