BHE 135 - THE DEVELOPMENTAL ENNEAGRAM [PART I] - Josh Lavine

BHE 135 - THE DEVELOPMENTAL ENNEAGRAM [PART I] - Josh Lavine
Josh of What It’s Like To Be You is hangin with us this week. He broke down how the enneagram is missing and needs a developmental* model (*Not Riso’s Levels of Development)
— (14:44) Our understanding of the enneagram evolves with the development of an introspective eye— (16:51) The ability to see oneself is a developmental achievement / words have different interpretations and meanings for each stage of development— (19:50) Riso’s levels of development is a measure of identification and awakening. It’s not a vertical developmental model— (21:33) Ken Wilber’s theory of everything and the difference between waking and growing up / the enneagram has a waking up framework but needs a growing up framework— (24:12) An example of what development is and how the rational-objective stage might react to the enneagram— (27:46) Spiral dynamics orange to green is a shift from the rational-objective to the personally subjective and the inner world— (30:12) Growing is an expanding sense of our capacity for meaning making— (34:54) How a lack of understanding of this developmental view limits the enneagram and the discourse around it— (40:15) The enneagram world is characterized by green empathy / the shadow and blindspots of green— (47:57) At green everyone’s subjectivity is equal and valid / Green fails to realize that subjectivity and the ability to see oneself is unequal and can grow
