How does the Enneagram’s sacred wisdom help us to journey to our essence? In this episode, Dr. Joseph Howell and Erika Jobes discuss how, when we live our lives in ego, our mind, body, and emotions can become disconnected from our primary identity which is our soul or essence. Essence is how we came into the world before we put on our ego’s protective covering. “It is our essential part of our core, the true us, and it has to do with our meaning in life, our sacred purpose, and how we move in the world to accomplish that.” Our soul child is our personal essence that was embodied by us as children. As revealed in the beliefs of Abrahamic religions, our soul is damaged and is recovering from the fall, or disconnection, from the Divine from which it came. The soul’s journey is to recover the complete oneness with the Divine. As we achieve increased awareness and consciousness, this is happening. Once we journey to essence, and we continue to follow the inner flow of the Enneagram, we are no longer an Ego Type number. Listen in as Dr. Howell explains how the new name is Reconnected. By following the Enneagram’s inner flow, the nine Ego Types have a journey that reconnects them to their essence. The inner flow of the Enneagram is the forgotten pathway to wholeness! Where are you in the Enneagram’s inner flow on your journey to essence?
