This document discusses the history and origins of the Enneagram symbol from ancient times to the present. It explores how the Enneagram has roots in ancient symbols like the Pythagorean Tetractys and how it has evolved over time through figures like Gurdjieff and others. The document also examines different interpretations of the Enneagram, like the object relations triads, color associations, and growth sequences. It questions whether all aspects and movements of the Enneagram have been fully captured.
55. Jean Adeler
Originated the idea of a “-2 binary”
In her discussion of the “Eight-
One Binary” in an excellent
article on The Deep Structure
of Personality in Sept. 2010
edition of Enneagram Monthly
56. “-2 BINARY”
This line of reasoning can be
applied to the “-2 wing” of
any type. There is a natural
tension between these two
positions on the Enneagram.
57. “-2 BINARY”
This is obvious for Type Eight
whose worldview includes the
notion that “Might makes right” &
“Only the Strong will
Survive”, which is in direct
opposition to Type One’s view
that “Ethics, rules, & fairness
dictate what is right or wrong.”
58. “-2 BINARY”
At the “-2 BINARY”, we clearly
move out of our comfort
zone, which is absolutely
necessary to strengthen and
expand our character and grow
psychologically & spiritually
63. The diagonals in black create an “Enneagram Star”, which are also
the three Horneyvian Groups. The three Harmonics Groups are also
revealed on the cross-diagonals. Combined with the three Object
Relations Triad, these nine groups form the total structural and
theoretical backbone of the Enneagram
68. ROY G. BIV
ROY G BIV is the mnemonic
that we learn in grade school
physics to describe the order
of the colors of the rainbow
from the longest wavelength
(Red) to the shortest
wavelength (Violet).
69. ROY G. BIV
Enneagram Personality Types CAN all be
related to the wavelengths in a rainbow:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, an
d Violet. (ROY G BIV). You see that 7 of the
9 Enneagram Types quickly fall into place:
Type 8 (Red), Type 7 (Orange), Type 6
(Yellow), Type 5 (Green), Type 4 (Blue), Type
3 (Purple/Indigo), Type 2 (Violet) easily fall
into place using this logic.
70. ROY G. BIV
The last two Enneagram Personality
Types were easily derived With Type
1 being assigned White, the color
associated with purity, morality &
cleanliness and Type 9 being
assigned Pink, which is derived by
blending white and red colors.
71. Each Enneagram Type Color blends with
its neighboring wings in a logical fashion
ONE: WHITE/SILVER
TWO: LAVENDER
THREE: PURPLE
FOUR: BLUE
FIVE: GREEN
SIX: YELLOW/GOLD
SEVEN: ORANGE
EIGHT: RED
NINE: PINK

72. “IF YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH, MAKE
THEM LAUGH, OTHERWISE THEY’LL KILL YOU.”
-- OSCAR WILDE (1854 - 1900)
75. HAVE WE CAPTURED ALL
THE MOVEMENTS IN THE
ENNEAGRAM?
The greatest obstacle to discovery is
not ignorance –
it is the illusion of knowledge.
-Daniel J. Boorstin
76. Is Ramon Llull the “True” or “First”
Father of the Enneagram of Personality?
Ramon Llull
(1232 – 1315)
