Currently, there are many very good books available on the enneagram of personality types. With only a little conscious work, students soon see the reality that they are not their types, their learned personalities. It is much more difficult to experience with such clarity who one really is then. Students are clear that their type must be a distortion or immature development of their basic true nature. But the relationship between one's type and one's unique essential self and how to work with this knowledge can be difficult to determine. A.H. Almaas focuses his great clarity on this particular knot so that each person can explore her personality type as a doorway, an access, to her essential nature. The brillancy of the logical, precise arrangement of reality shines forth, as it does in all Almaas writing, and beacons one forward to the next level of unfoldment. This book provides an exceptional opportunity to be guided by the wisdom of the greatest spiritual psychologist of our time.
