In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we wrap up our series on the Holy Ideas and Virtues, reflecting on the profound insights shared by our guests over the past nine episodes. Joined by Dr. Joe Howell and Scott Smith, we delve into the concept of amnesia surrounding our holy ideas and explore why we often forget these integral aspects of our true selves.
Dr. Joe explains that the holy ideas represent the way we perceived the world as soul children, free from the constraints of our egos. However, as we grow, we often lose sight of these ideas, leading to a sense of disconnection from our essence. The ego drives us to justify our existence, creating a narrative that we must earn our place in the world. This quest for validation can lead to feelings of inadequacy and fear, as we strive to meet external expectations rather than embracing our inherent worth.
Throughout our discussion, we emphasize the importance of remembering our holy ideas and virtues as a means of healing and reconnecting with our true selves. We share personal experiences and practical practices that can help nurture these ideas, highlighting that the journey involves intentionality and self-awareness. Ultimately, we encourage our listeners to engage with their spiritual practices, as they are essential for integrating the wisdom of the Enneagram into daily life.
As we conclude this series, we express our gratitude to our guests and invite our audience to continue exploring these concepts with us at the Institute for Conscious Being. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to our next series!
