The 9 Enneagram Types – Discover Your Enneagram Type
Discover your Enneatype (enneagram type) with this simple guide. Learn the core traits, motivations and challenges of each of the nine enneatypes to better understand yourself and others, and begin your journey of growth, healing, self-discovery and awakening.
An Introduction To The Enneagram
The Enneagram is a system that categorises human personalities into nine distinct types, each with its own set of core beliefs, deficient feelings, fears, motivations and behaviours. The enneagram can be used for personal development, spiritual growth and improving your relationships.
The Virtual Universe: How Consciousness Creates Reality
What if reality isn’t objectively “out there”, but is rendered by our consciousness, much like a video game world is rendered onto a computer screen or a virtual reality headset? In this model, consciousness is primary.
From Physics to Metaphysics
In the 1920s, there was a great renaissance in physics, when relativity and quantum mechanics were first discovered. The 2020s is seeing another great shift as materialism and determinism are gradually purged from the mainstream scientific mindset, which will allow physics to evolve into metaphysics.
A New Model of Reality
The reality we see is a simplified representation of the underlying informational reality. So we aren’t actually perceiving an objective reality – we are rendering reality as we experience it. This new model of reality also scientifically proves the existence of universal consciousness (God).
Relativity and Consciousness
If space-time reality was fundamental and objective, the speed of light would be relative to the objective background of space, but it isn’t. The speed of light is relative to the observer, which means reality is subjective and the observer’s consciousness is more fundamental than space-time reality.
Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness
We all assume that we are observing an objective reality, but we are actually observing our own subjective version of reality. For a century, quantum mechanics has been trying to wake us up to the truth that reality isn’t objectively real, but very few were willing to see it.
Multidimensional Reality
The physical universe that we observe and experience is just a very narrow band of the totality of reality. The universe is a multidimensional totality that spans at least seven orders or “planes” of reality, all of which are largely imperceptible to us, except for the physical.
Quantum Pixels
Physical reality is a highly-immersive projection from a higher-dimensional “implicate” order of reality, which emerges through a holistic network of quantum-sized toroidal pixels, all spinning and pulsating to quantum time. So our so-called “reality” is actually more virtual reality than actual reality!
The Two Sides of Reality
The Planck length and Planck time are literally the end of our space-time reality, because they don’t exist beyond these physical limits. So what does exist beyond these ultra-small scales of reality? An intangible “implicate order” of reality that is energetic and informational, just like computer code.
Dual Torus Galactic Geometry
There is a general consensus in physics that the rotation of galaxies can only be explained by the presence of highly elusive “dark matter”. This article proposes that galactic rotation is dynamically driven by the geometry of space-time which, in the case of most galaxies, is shaped like a dual-torus.
The Toroidal Universe
Most scientists believe that space is ‘flat’, unless it is being ‘curved’ by the presence of matter (which results in gravity). This article proposes that the universe only appears to be expanding because space-time dynamically flows with the geometry of a torus.
How To Stop Taking Things Personally
Emotions are the most polarised aspect of our being; i.e. they carry the most charge. So the more emotion we experience the more difficult it is to remain objective. The more emotion that accompanies an experience the more we identify with it, and the more we take it personally.
The Truth About Wanting
Wanting is a big cause of suffering. When we tell ourselves “I’ll be happy when I get what I want”, we are telling ourselves that we can’t be happy or contented until we get what we want. But even if we get what we want, it won’t satisfy us for long, and we’ll soon want something else.
Radical Acceptance
Radical acceptance means learning to accept what you cannot change, and change what you cannot accept. It involves fully experiencing ‘what is’ without any resistance, judgement or agenda. When we are fully experiencing “what is” without any resistance, we are fully present.
False Beliefs
We all have a primary belief that shapes our fundamental approach to life, and a collection of core beliefs that influence our different strategies for life. Discovering these false beliefs is the key to liberating ourselves from the ego’s narcissistic, controlling and fear-based strategies.
Holistic Wellbeing
Holistic Wellbeing is about bringing every aspect of your “being” back into equilibrium, and restoring balance to every area of your life – physical, energetic, social, emotional, creative expression, mental and spiritual.
When balance is acheived, you naturally experience greater flow, vitality, clarity and inner peace.
The False Self (who I am not)
Unless we are enlightened or self-realised, we we have lost touch with “who we truly are”, and we live from a mentally-created false self or ego-self. Our belief that we are our ego-self makes us feel separate and insecure – cut off from the unity and oneness.
Who Am I? What Am I?
A Human Being is comprised of a Self, a Soul and a Personality. Our Self (divine spark) is the transpersonal element of our being; our mind, heart and body are the personal elements; and our soul is the field of experiential awareness and unique blend of “essential qualities” that integrates them all.
What Blocks Happiness
Authentic happiness is blocked by a (false) belief that life is not how it should be; i.e. how we want it to be. This unfulfilled false belief gives rise to negative emotions, which make us feel uncomfortable. The ego equates the discomfort with unhappiness, which it tries to alleviate by seeking happiness elsewhere.
The Key to Happiness
We are all looking for happiness in different places, but the places all have one thing in common – they are outside of ourselves. And that’s the issue, because when we look outside of ourselves, our level of happiness goes up and down like a roller-coaster in response to external events.
The Inner Journey
The Inner Journey requires us to discover “who we are not” (and disidentify from that) before we can truly discover “who we are”. We must allow our consciousness to unfold naturally through living consciously (being), and by proactively working with that natural process (becoming).
Conscious Awareness
Conscious awareness is witnessing or observing the mind, heart and body without getting caught up in thoughts, emotions or sensations. It gives us the power to notice our thoughts, emotions and bodies without identifying with them or defining ourselves by them.
Conscious Living (accessing the power of now)
Conscious living is about waking up from the trance of our ego structures and enabling our Self to become the conscious director of our life. Our subconscious beliefs, reactive emotions and conditioned behaviours will continue to run our lives until we make them conscious.
