The
Enneagram - by Sep Meyer
People
often defend their beliefs with a ferocity that seems way out of
proportion to any sceptical enquiry that is being made.
It
is as if, by adopting a belief, they identify with it so
deeply that any inferred criticism is felt as an attack on
themselves. It's a sort of "Methinks they doth
protest too much" syndrome, suggesting that au fond
they harbour doubts of their own or, at least, an embarrassment
at any suspicion that they may have been hoodwinked.
There
are probably few areas so infected by this sort of feeling as
the vast and still growing self-help psychotherapy arena.
Where
does the enneagram fit into this? And what does it reveal
about all the other New Age psychologies?
