Letting Go, Finding You

Rethink everything you believe about yourself because of your Enneagram number, and embrace the virtues of your type. Hunter Mobley has been an Enneagram teacher for years, working with people who have read all the books and completed all the programs, only to find they are still getting caught in the same patterns of behavior. Too many of us are stuck on the treadmill of consumer spirituality, clinging to the illusion that we are in charge of our own spiritual growth and development. But the path of true transformation, according to Mobley, isn't in doing more, but in doing less--in letting go of control and adopting a contemplative posture that will naturally lead us to our true self. The key to unlocking this contemplative path is in understanding a fundamental but often-missed aspect of Enneagram teaching: the Enneagram virtues. Most of us focus our Enneagram work on trying to overcome the passion of our Enneagram number. Sometimes referred to as the "sin," this is the expression of our personality that habitually gets us into trouble and blocks us from growth. The lesser-known virtues, on the other hand, describe the God-image in us and are the best articulations of our true selves. The Enneagram mystery--hiding in plain sight--is that how we have come to know ourselves (reflected by our passion) is the opposite of who we truly are (which is reflected by our virtue). We don't have to struggle against our passion; we can simply let go and embrace the virtue that has always been at our center. Letting Go, Finding You will show how a contemplative spiritual path, informed by the Enneagram, will allow you to finally stop striving after false promises and start surrendering to the truest version of yourself.
