BREAKING NEWS

Damian Hospital, who previously turned in his honorary membership to the Enneagram Council of Sixes, has officially resigned from caring about the Enneagram Council of Twos.

"Just blowing off steam now in this rant, but I'm done with Twos. I ran out of patience, and believe me, I have been dealing with Type Twos for over 30 glorious years," Hospital said via telescreen.

"How much do I loathe thee? Allow me to list the ways: Twos are possessive, forgetful, overbearing, predictable, spurned, demand justice for helping, and refuse to be held accountable like everyone else."

"Nothing happened to spark this rant of mine. It just built up."

"Type 3's may be evil manipulators, but Type 2's just control differently to fill their self-esteem. They are excellent underdogs, too. They refuse to be "judged", and will lie, lie, lie to achieve their means."

"I've just had enough. I've had enough with their meaningless chatter when I'm trying to work, and I'm tired of female relatives automatically being stereotypical 2's. They all hate pain, but they all love pain killers."

"Most Two's I know must be liked and loved. It's like they are stuck being kids, and that's why they don't age as rapidly as others. Two's want to be Fours, so they act like Free Spirits. What winds us happening is that their karma and irresponsible actions ("it sounded good at the time") cause more misery and stress in their lives."

"Now, I just nod my head when they ramble about something that is truly insignificant, but seems like a major catastrophe to them. Nag, nag, nag. All card carrying members of the TDA* too. "

"I mean, they aren't productive with real things. They think they're productive in relationships, but after the break up, that guy or institution or family member is DEAD."

"I nod my head. Agree. Try to block out what they are saying or are attempting to e-mail me, and move on. I mean, heaven help me if I actually respond with the truth or point out a logical flaw in their predicament. And if I ever- EVER- once expressed a feeling how THEY acting in a selfish and not-helpful way, forget about it- I'm the New Public Enemy #1. They don't listen to me anyway- bunch of freakin' Drama Queens- the lot of them. They *always* have problems in relationships and money? I WONDER WHY."

Here's a clip about a Type Two. Believe me, this has to be the most CALM Two I've ever seen (of course the interview is an advertisement, but you get the idea.)



*TDA: Time Displacement Authority. Ever have someone who "makes" you be late? Don't you ever just want to do your own daily routine without being sidetracked? Did you ever wish you could throw your cell-phone in a river? Well, if you find your time-line getting screwed up by someone over and over, there's a great chance they are members of the TDA. They exist solely to ruin your original time-line. They are the people that call you up and cause you to forget something or kill an hour of your productivity. They are the ones who force you to watch Star Wars marathons when you really need to be going to sleep. They are the ones that keep saying "goodbye" when you try to leave their house, and wind up causing you to be late or get into an accident. Sometimes it's perfectly harmless; other times your time-line can be ruined.

Advanced Enneagram Studies -- Rewiring

In the past, we here at the DailySkew have written about the Enneagram and the Animalgram (an alternate version of the Enneagram that we use in the Dream Seeker stories) ... one of the things I brought up with the Animalgram is the theory of Rewiring. I'd like to explain rewiring in terms of the Enneagram.

First, let's define rewiring:

Rewiring occurs when a person is under extreme duress from factors in the environment. An example would be living in a 20th-century country where the individual is oppressed by a totalitarian regime, with no basic human rights. Being imprisoned and interrogated for extended periods can also cause rewiring, as well as intense, prolonged treatments for physical or mental ailments.

Rewiring can occur at any stage of a person's life -- childhood, adolescence, adulthood. An overbearing parent or spouse can trigger the process of rewiring, for example. Any pressure that is too much for the person to bear for an extended period of time can and will lead to rewiring.

We now know that the process of rewiring is gradual -- much like a frog being boiled slowly to death, the person may not be aware of the shift until it has already occurred.

Now, let's define the rewiring path:

3--->

8--->

7--->

9--->

5--->

4--->

6--->

2--->

1--->

Up until this morning, the only thing that had confounded me, in terms of the rewiring path, was how to account for wing types (example, 6 with a 7 wing). Do the wings follow their own separate path? I woke up today with the insight.

Basically, the Enneagram is 360 degree circle, with points along that circle that stand for a personality type. The paths of integration/disintegration/rewiring guide us to points in the circle -- but it's still a circle.

I realized that, when you're dealing with a person who has a wing type, the circle shifts, much like the way you would slightly adjust the a dial on an oven.

The dominant personailty type travels along the paths of integration and disintegration, as well as rewiring. The wing merely tags along, and morphs into another wing type, depending on where the dominant personality type lands on the circle.

So, starting with type 3w4, you would have this rewiring path:

3w4->

8w9->

7w8->

9w1->

5w6->

4w5->

6w7->

2w3->

1w2->

Starting with 3w2, this would be the path:

3w2->

8w7->

7w6->

9w8->

5w4->

4w3->

6w5->

2w1->

1w9->

I will not comment on the symmetry of the numbers at this time.
