THE WHEEL = States of Consciousness
◆ The basic components of the Thinking Mind (in Part 1) can be reduced to 3 space-like realms + 4 time-like functions of language
= the 12 basic areas of the mind-map called ‘The Wheel’ – which is the basic gestalt of our mind, a valid outline of Reality.

◆ The Language Wheel, in some form, can be found in all anthropology studies of the world, which makes it a philosophy of tolerance – clearly showing us the common denominators underlying all social & religious traditions, based on conscious experiences & underlying mathematical criteria.

The Wheel can help make sense of the world (chart below), & clarify the path of growth.
📌 Its information can be used as a tool to find a deeper connection to ourselves so we can follow our life path

📌 It can show the connection between Science & Religion, our left & right brain sides, putting us in tune with history, & helping us think & act globally.
📌  It’s a weapon to open the gate to inspiration for anyone willing to divest themself of the false “I.” Anything not tested by the Wheel has no permanence.
EXP: The weapons of the Wheel will, unnoticed, smash false seriousness with a joke.

NOTE
🔸TIME terms are at points 9,6 3.
🔹 SPACE terms at 1,2,4,5,7,8 – (conjunction, noun, preposition, adjective, pronoun, adverb), which are complements so can be added together at will.

The FOUR (time) FUNCTIONS with Brain Parts
☀︎ FEELING is right brain = metabolism.
Emotions (fun, joy, love, passion, humor…), moods, drives, imagination, impulses, dreams, force, power, strength
☀︎ SENSING is left brain = 5 senses, sex, excretion. Direct, immediate & waking consciousness, sense-data. Unprocessed information intake
☀︎ THINKING is hind brain = breathing.
Language – both analytical & analogical. Reasoning, deliberate, to conceive, connect, enumerate, reflect.
☀︎ WILLING is fore-brain = deep sleep, yes-no, on-off.
Attention, action of all kinds, to carry out, control, determine, order, work.

The THREE (space) REALMS of Ennea-Numbers
• BODY – brain stem, cerebellum, reptilian brain.
Mass, particle, physical, solid, space. Conditioned learning

❤️ Assertions (Affirm) = Body Willing
#2 Noun = Body Sensing
#7 Pronoun = Body Feeling
#9 Verbal Forms = Body Thinking

• SOUL – the middle link between Body & Spirit : Bio-plasma, limbic system, mammalian brain. Being, instincts, people, psyche, vital force.
Ego-self, social entity

💙 Verbal commands (Lead) = Soul Willing
#8 Adverb = Soul Sensing
#4 Preposition = Soul Feeling
#6 Person = Soul Thinking

• SPIRIT (mind) – Neo-cortex.
The Animating vital principal, sentient part of a being, space-time continuum, incorporeal
Abstract, intellect, ideas, ideal, gestalt, quality, meaning

💛 Questions (Inspire) = Spirit Willing
#5 Adjective = Spirit Sensing
#1 Conjunction = Spirit Feeling
#3 Verb = Spirit Thinking

⏬️ Grammar & Consciousness 
This chart is the archetypal symbol that combines language, Functions & Realms, separating software (language, science, religion) from hardware (structure of our mind).

Its basic components are deduced from the Mandelbrot vector 0 -> : Z -> Z + C, with 1 -> 9 as the fractal scaling. (EXP : image at page top ⬆️ )
This simple formula, discovered in 1962, identifies the structure for all complex geometric forms existing in nature.

◀️ The circle connects Universal Wisdom with the 9 points of the Enneagram, wisdom being the ability to live well in a chaotic world, & requires ‘inside information’ about how things really work.

The12 fields of civilization combine with the Language Wheel to naturally follow the forms of language, consciousness & personality.  As the reflection of reality, consciousness “moulds” the forms & dictates the laws of its existence, in the form of speech. Consciousness is always verbally expressed : if there is no language there can be no consciousness. They are two aspects of an integral process.

The combination suggests that human creativity can use language & life experiences to transform the ‘animal-human body from physical into spiritual. We can tune into & integrate the various aspects of our personality to develop our abilities, using Self-ego as a tool “ (More….)

by the language you use

PREVIOUS: Language Intro – #1

 

GRAMMAR has two overlapping meanings:
1. It’s everything about how a language works, including syntax as a subset (correct order of words in sentences in order to make complete sense)
2. How words are inflected, conjugated & declined – according to aspect, degree, gender, mood, number, person, tense (11 Rules of Grammar)

Using CHART ⬇️  : for dialogue to go smoothly & with co-operation, speakers need to include listed below :
✔︎ one of the 3 verbs
✔︎ two of the 6 verbal persons (gender, person)
✔︎ three of the 9 verbal forms (time, mode, voice).
” That morning (t) the young man (g, p) drove (v) his new car to work.”

⛔️ If one of these categories is excluded when talking, or we leave out a category as part of the information that’s needed to make sense – then we destroy dialogue & create dispute.

◆ Here we’re given the Parts of Speech as a tool for growth. Included are key words of each grammatical form, which are related to the Thinking (level 2) function of T.E.A..
Each position is a numerical Fractal (having the property of self-similarity), considered the hidden order of Universal Truth. They are seen as similar but not identical concepts, the repetition of a basic subject applied to different areas of knowledge.

Ennea MEANING & USE of Grammar components:
1. Conjunction – a synthesis for unification & healing. Represents both Inclusion (‘and,  so‘) & Exclusion (‘or, but‘)
USE :  to make connections, tying words or ideas together.

2. Noun – basic drive for creativity & production, to achieve physical realization of ideas.
USE : (singular, plural, name, concept) allowing us to make generalizations from the particular “Not all groups are cohesive”

3. Verb – is about understanding, in relation to abstract concepts.
USE : represents awareness of things happening in time, a dynamic process of past, present & future
“She leapt into the pool”

4. Preposition – symbolizes imagination, the need to fantasize & dream.   USE : the mental/internal image of the personal relationship between oneself & other people, things or ideas
“The child ran way from his father”

5. Adjective – is about analysis, to distinguish one idea from another.
USE : precisely describes or qualifies the noun. This relates to & allows for refinement of understanding
“His loud laugh was annoying.”

6. Verbal Persons – stands for the drive to communicate, to explain, to relate to & with other people, to improve Self & others.
USE : (the subject) is the ability to make statements, by personalizing a time event or action  “The meal has been eaten”

7. Pronoun – pertains to initiative, to fight & to start something new.  USE : places nouns in relationship, establishing & modifying them “She was always late”

8. Adverb – is about organization, responsibility & duty; to assume responsibility for some social situation or group, problem or opportunity, & to organize or direct it until conclusion.
USE : modifies the verb, explains it through 8 questions that show its circumstances (where, when, how….) “He’s not very tall”

9. Verbal Forms – regards the impulse to actualize, engineer, invent, orchestrate, based on knowing what’s possible.
USE : place an action in perspective, like a plan (active, indicative, subjunctive) (MORE…. scroll way down)
“We are going home”
(Technical parts of each… scroll down to ‘Quality’)

NOTE: The number positions in this chart ⏫️ are in reverse order, to correctly align with ancient Number systems which reflect the dynamics of the Earth’s counter-clockwise daily rotation on its axis – if North is considered the ‘top’ or vantage point, which it usually is. Screen Shot 2015-05-17 at 11.51.27 PM

However, the Enneagram follows a tradition based on the invention of clocks (which occurred in the Northern hemisphere), copying the sun’s clock-wise shadow on sundials. We see the sun that way in relation to Earth’s anti-clockwise rotation – if we were looking down at the North Pole from space.  (More…. slide #4)

Screen Shot 2015-05-17 at 11.48.56 PM◆ Our personal number system is a description of the creative process – played out in cycles of day, year & precession of the equinoxes.
Looking from above at a galaxy or hurricane’s counter-clockwise swirl, we can superimpose the #6.

The form of the 6 also describes looping backwards on ourselves – the limitations of our mental consciousness, which effects our creativity.

PREVIOUS: Enneagram Humor (Part 6)

 

BEFORE listing the characteristic language style of each Ennea-type, it may be helpful to consider Language in the larger scheme of physical/spiritual reality. As we know, most people function from a ‘False Self’ imposed on us by parents, friends, job & society. This mask has little to do with innate capacities, & blocks personal energy, making us internally weak.

👀 ‘Waking up’ (personal growth) comes from self-awareness – observing the False Self in action, then developing our compassionate & non-critical Inner Observer, which connects us to our Core.

The goal is to gradually outgrow or minimize our specific defensive pattern – as well as any minor ones – to become a more well-rounded, whole person. Then we can use the energy & qualities of whichever of the 9 types is needed in the moment, while letting our True Self shine thru.

Word Power affects our role in society, so a limited vocabulary can limit potential opportunities. Learning about & using the concepts inherent in grammar, with their connection to Number, makes it easier to make Sense for ourselves (see Part 1). Behind-the-scenes knowledge can help us grow & prosper so we can make better choices in a world full of confusion & risks.

Language : a union of Sacred & Secular
TRUE Communication is based on Eternal Principles with its own set of laws, This is shared among intelligent beings, via the ADAMic ‘original’ language spoken with God in the Garden, a physical mechanism used by our soul’s spirit to express original thought, ie. the Essence of the Eternal.

This chart presents Language as both Divine & mundane attributes of Human Character. It also defines the circulation of light, growth of plants, the development of society & human conduct…. Communication is much more than a mechanical activity via sound waves, or the connection between two or more people, no matter how deep or productive.
«

◆ Communication includes
a. Speaker and b. Listener AND c. ‘Common thinking / understanding’ of both people / groups, which represents Consciousness, seen at the base of the Enneagram’s 9-3-6 triangle.

√ Without Consciousness, thoughts expressed in language would not be possible
√ With it, we have human understanding & the spiritual benefit of two-way communing with the Divine.

Using the concepts in the above chart allows us to analyze & improve the process of “truly conscious communication”. It reminds us to pay attention to what we think about & say, so we can be better understood – to ourself & by anyone willing to listen.

◆ The structure of all languages is naturally shaped by the basic form of the physical brain – which molds speech.
In turn, speech shapes the basic patterns of our mind, forming the way we make sense of the world.
A unifying feature of language is the child’s process of learning to speak.

Mastery of all languages develops in seven stages, using system & method:
1 – Sensing = Affective gestures
2 – Thinking = Exploring acoustic potential
3 – Feeling = Brain lateralization
4 – Willing  = Grammar
5 – Body = Word power
6 – Soul = Communication
7 – Spirit = Poetry (Each explained )

 👄 Coherent language (point 4), formed through grammar, represents a higher order of thinking. The “Grammar of Man” – the structural common denominator of language – unites the thousands of spoken languages on our planet, allowing for translation.

◆ The Enneagram’s 9 categories of grammar (in Part 3) are based on Sacred Number. In ancient Greece, Pythagoras discovered that the concept of “Universal Number” leads to structure, & the structure of the mind is also the structure of the world.

In essence, all is Number & therefore the key to wisdom – the ability to live well in a chaotic world – by having internal / intuitive information about how things really work.
(See “The CODE” , with Marcus du Sautoy, math prof – re. how significant numbers appear all over the world, governing all life. 2011, Netflix)

◆ The relationship between Number & Grammar (in Part 2) is the bridge between esoteric & exoteric knowledge, which indicates that Quantity & Number = Quality & Meaning, which then can lead us:

✑ from beyond Meaning (external source), when life’s meaning (always subjective) comes from a pre-existing order or plan, imposed from the outside (God)
↘︎  ↘︎
✑ into Sense (internal source) – where we’re able to make sense of our own life. We decide the substance of it, limited only by math & grammar (Objective Truth), & then determine whether it makes sense – to us. (MORE….)
