Who is religiously enlightened here? - Page 4

JJM 777 · 15th February 2012, 01:49 PM

I think I know what enlightenment is supposed to mean. Nirvana. Expanded consciousness. In 1960´s it was popular to accept drugs (and sex) as a means of pursuing such mental state.

Nope, that's the exact opposite of nirvana. And look where drugs took Nirvana.

Why do you feel the need to categorize people? The enneagram is nonsense. Open your mind to the possibility that you are being I'll informed by your masters.

Just out of curiosity, do you expect people to fit into just one of the above categories? Someone could conceivably have all of the above qualities.

Screw that! I'm not answering 14 pages of anything to attempt to prove something to you. Worse than that, some of these questions are very poorly written:

"I am too strict with myself and others."

That's a two-part question to which you can't readily address an appropriate answer. I am sometimes strict on myself when it comes to certain elements of my life, like my career or responsibilities I take on, I'm far less strict than I should be about other aspects, like my fiction writing. I'm pretty balanced when it comes to my children, but then I have my wife to help me with that. I know I'm too strict (and I would be stricter without the aforementioned wife) with my debate students. I'm incredibly lax when it comes to most of my friends and my family. Is any of that meaningful in relation to the three answers provided in a radio button marked "partly"?

I'm not even going to go into the more obvious questions or "who built this test" or "based on what protocols" or "how long has it been used" or "what peer-research has been done". The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator is a reasonably long-lived and very well researched and reviewed test. It's actually fun to take (if you like that kind of thing, which I do), and you can get different results on different days, depending on what's happened to you. You can even get different results on the same day.

And you expect us to take this test to prove what to you? That we're capable of teaching you something? My friend, I have news for you. You have questions, ask them. This forum has a host of people far more learned and intelligent than I am, and capable of some impressive thinking and responses. Pigeon-holing people to try to align yourself with what you think you need will only result in people trapped in really tiny holes wondering why they allowed you to put them there.

Some people have tried to engage you already, but you seem far too interested in this test, than you are in actual discussion and discovery.

*

The One is impassioned by anger and fixated on perfectionism – a path to satori is patience, the willingness to accept conditions that do not conform to one's ideal.
*

Twos have the passion of pride and when fixated on entitlement their caring for others is conditional – a path to satori is loving kindness, which is true compassion without expectation.
*

The passion of Threes is vanity, their fixation is deception (the need to always see oneself and be see as successful) – truthfulness, speaking from the essential self and not through personality needs, is a way to satori.
*

Fours live with the passion of envy and the fixation of dissatisfaction – satori can be sought through equanimity; seeing all events as intrinsically neutral; it is desire that grades things as "good" or "bad."
*

Fives have the passion of hoarding, with a fixation on detachment (they seek information but keep themselves from emotional connection) – they can seek satori through generosity, giving freely of oneself so energy flows in the other direction.
*

For Sixes, fear is the passion (experienced as anxiety or hyper-vigilance), accusation the fixation – satori becomes possible with morality; living with integrity, recognizing one's own contribution to situations instead of playing victim.
*

Sevens are driven by the passion of gluttony, with enthusiasm as a fixation (having fun and "the good life") – a path to satori is the well-known one of renunciation, seeking moderation and letting go of materialism.
*

The Eight fixation on power and control stems from the passion of excess – wisdom is a way to satori; a shift to more altruistic and benign modes of operating, a focus on service to the world.
*

Indolence is the Nine's passion; the fixation is self-forgetting (resulting from their other-directedness) – energy is a way to satori for Nines; the willingness to stay focused on their own purpose, without distraction.

Stupid survey - it tells me it can't work out what I am - I might be a 3 or a 9 but I might be one of the others as well.

Survey is flawed, so conclusions from survey are also flawed.

The tool is broken and this thread is invalid.

It's very close to being time to get off the bus. I'll be curious to see if he ever answers a question, or whether he keeps parroting the same file until the mods shut it down. Silly me, I hope he might be here to learn.

It occurs to me that it is high time for the enlightened master FZ to make an appearance:

The mystery man came over, and said "I'm outta sight."
He said for a nominal service charge, I could reach nirvana tonight.
If I was ready willing and able to pay him his regular fee,
He'd drop all the rest of his pressing affairs and devote his attention to me.

AlBell-will you kindly take the test and judge it afterwards?
Piscivore-I am sorry about my inattention. Thank you for your teaching.
RobRoy-I am nine, NON, nowornever, Tomek.

RobRoy Not A Mormon Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: In the sandbox Posts: 12,141	Originally Posted by nowornever Where are the following masters in the enneagram? Screw that! I'm not answering 14 pages of anything to attempt to prove something to you. Worse than that, some of these questions are very poorly written: "I am too strict with myself and others." That's a two-part question to which you can't readily address an appropriate answer. I am sometimes strict on myself when it comes to certain elements of my life, like my career or responsibilities I take on, I'm far less strict than I should be about other aspects, like my fiction writing. I'm pretty balanced when it comes to my children, but then I have my wife to help me with that. I know I'm too strict (and I would be stricter without the aforementioned wife) with my debate students. I'm incredibly lax when it comes to most of my friends and my family. Is any of that meaningful in relation to the three answers provided in a radio button marked "partly"? I'm not even going to go into the more obvious questions or "who built this test" or "based on what protocols" or "how long has it been used" or "what peer-research has been done". The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator is a reasonably long-lived and very well researched and reviewed test. It's actually fun to take (if you like that kind of thing, which I do), and you can get different results on different days, depending on what's happened to you. You can even get different results on the same day. And you expect us to take this test to prove what to you? That we're capable of teaching you something? My friend, I have news for you. You have questions, ask them. This forum has a host of people far more learned and intelligent than I am, and capable of some impressive thinking and responses. Pigeon-holing people to try to align yourself with what you think you need will only result in people trapped in really tiny holes wondering why they allowed you to put them there. Some people have tried to engage you already, but you seem far too interested in this test, than you are in actual discussion and discovery.

Survey is flawed, so conclusions from survey are also flawed. The tool is broken and this thread is invalid.
