   Ep 49: Freely Received, Freely Given: Point 2 & Separate Will | The Enneagram & the Delusion of Separateness, Week 4

   Think of someone you've been trying to help. Now notice how much of you is leaning forward. In this fourth episode of The Enneagram & the Delusion of Separateness, Rev. Nhien Vuong continues around the Enneagram to Point 2, exploring the delusion Almaas calls Separate Will: the belief that we have a will of our own, apart from the whole, and that the flourishing of those we love depends on our steering. Drawing on Almaas's teaching on Holy Will and Holy Freedom, the ancient story of the farmer who tugged on his sprouts, and a beloved prayer from A Course in Miracles, Rev. Nhien explores how this delusion lives in all of us and the particular shape it takes for Type 2, where personal will so often hides inside helping. She offers a guided pause to bring to mind someone you've been trying to help, and closes with an invitation into humility and receiving—where we stop being the source of love and become part of its circulation. Take a few minutes after listening to sit in silence and notice what begins to arise.

   Ep 48: Enneagram-informed Spiritual Direction Program | Your Questions Answered

   In this follow-up conversation, Rev. Nhien Vuong and Rev. Scott McRae answer your questions about Evolving Enneagram's inaugural Enneagram-informed Spiritual Direction Training & Certificate Program—why we're offering it now, who it's for, and what the 22-month journey looks like. We explore the distinct journeys of ego, soul, and spirit, why we hold the Enneagram as a mirror rather than a report card, and how it's woven throughout the program as a tool for deep listening. We also share two new pathways: an Advanced Practice Certificate for those who've already completed spiritual direction training, and CEP Level II for alumni of our Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner program. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual director, a Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner, or a lifelong seeker drawn to deeper spiritual formation, you're welcome here.

   Ep. 47: Perfect, Not Flawless: Point 1 & Localized Rightness | The Enneagram & the Delusion of Separateness, Week 3

   Think of something in your life you are certain is wrong. Now notice how certain you are. In this third episode of The Enneagram & the Delusion of Separateness, Rev. Nhien Vuong continues around the Enneagram to Point 1, exploring the delusion Almaas calls Localized Rightness: the belief that something is always wrong, that rightness lives in certain standards and not others, and that we must correct ourselves and the world in order to be acceptable. Drawing on Almaas's teaching on Holy Perfection, A Course in Miracles' teaching that we cannot judge, and the old Taoist story of the farmer and his horse, Rev. Nhien explores how this delusion lives in all of us and the particular shape it takes for Type 1. She shares a story from her years as a young attorney and offers a guided pause to look at one thing you are certain is wrong. The episode closes with a distinction between judgment, which is rigid, and alignment to truth, which is supple—and an invitation into the essential perfection that underlies all of existence, including you. Take a few minutes after listening to sit in silence and notice what begins to arise. Take a deeper dive into these teachings on unity and oneness in Rev.
