[Traditional Enneagram] Dumb question - Why are wings only of adjacent types?

[KitchenFly]

Did anybody answer the OP's question yet? Wings are the types adjacent to your primary type on the enneagram circle.

Let's look for some structure.

We have three triangles let's think about the three instincts,. Good now let's think about the six instinctual variant heads,. Good.

Now let's look at the image of the three triangles,. Good.

Now we live on a Planet that has a Moon that travels 12 times around the Earth every time the Earth completes one orbit around the Sun,. Good.

Now we will think about the three triangles and the Nine Points,. Ok

1-4-7 , 3+12+21 = 36 , 3+6 = 9
2-5-8 , 6+15+24 = 45 , 4+5 = 9
3-6-9 , 9+18+27 = 54 , 5+4 = 9

9+9+9 = 27 , 2+7 = 9 , (27 provides me a thought of braking down the two tens's "20" in to 10 and 10 and placing each, one ten at Point:3 and one ten at Point:6. The Severn units remaining provides me with the simple idea of placing one of each of the "7" units at all remaining Points: 4-5-2-1-7-8-9 , 1+2+4+5+7+8+9 = 36 , 3+6 = 9. This reminds me of Point:9

36+9 = 45 , utilising the principle of multiplying via 3 the number value of Point:3 provides the sum number value of 9. So now we have (1+2+4+5+7+8+9 = 36) plus three multiplied by three for one of the two remaining Points, Point:3 and now we have a number value of 45 (36+9 = 45).

36+18=54 , utilising the same process of multiplying via 3 the number value of Point:6 provides the sum number value of 18. So now we have (1+2+4+5+7+8+9 = 36) plus six multiplied by three for the last of the remaining Points, Point:6 and now we have a number value of 54 (36+18 = 54).

Ok so now we call in vision a diagram like this:


..................... 1
....... 1 ....................... 1

1 ....................................... 1


10 .................................. 10


............1 ............... 1

At this stage we will see this as a clue. And we will take this clue with another clue's (12) & (3) & the instinctual triangles.

Ok start at Point:1 envision a triangle with Point:1 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:7 and Point:4.

Ok start at Point:4 envision a triangle with Point:4 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:1 and Point:7.

Ok start at Point:7 envision a triangle with Point:7 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:4 and Point:1.

Or one of the other two remaking triangles.

Ok start at Point:9 envision a triangle with Point:9 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:6 and Point:3.

Ok start at Point:6 envision a triangle with Point:6 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:3 and Point:9.

Ok start at Point:3 envision a triangle with Point:3 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:9 and Point:6.

So we may as well do the final triangle since we have viewed the two of the three.

Ok start at Point:8 envision a triangle with Point:8 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:2 and Point:5.

Ok start at Point:5 envision a triangle with Point:5 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:8 and Point:2.

Ok start at Point:2 envision a triangle with Point:2 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:5 and Point:8.

Ok the next step is quite simple we go three steps each way from what ever Point we may first chose. Or we do the same action we find the other two parts of the equilateral triangle the two part's one left and one right of the apex. We will choose any number,.let's choose "5".

Point:5 envision a triangle with Point:5 at the apex of the triangle and the remaining two corners of the triangle are found at Point:8 and Point:2 so now let's take twelve baby steps in each direction from each of the two remaining corner's 8 and 2 towards the apex Point Point:5.

So let's start counting (2) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 ((4)) four is the twelfth and if we do the same from Point:8 it goes (8) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 ((6)).

Exactly why is it so,. I don't know other that the pattern is sound and the pattern is there.
Twelve is "1" from the ten's column and "2" from the unit's column in the decimal point system. Two ten's equals twenty ( cause-effect -- reconciliation ). Three parts, cause (1), effect (1), reconciliation (1).

___ Reconciliation


Effect _________ Cause

The primary triangle at the reactive level "personality" has a "multiplicity" ("6----3") (-3-6-9-) and it seems at the instinctual level there maybe a further six. I suspect that the hole man may utilising as many as "10" or as many as "9" ,9 plus one mechanical orientated multiplicity to adequately respond to cause and effect via a personality in a response to entropy In order to respond creatively with an awareness toward cultivating understands of the nature of the universe perceived or the cosmos that act as host.

We are made via (Greater Nature from Grater Nature) to view and understand the Cosmos, Greater Nature.

So 12 is like a paradox or a conundrum it's ten and two and two and one...., "15" the provides the counter the other wing. 10+2+2+1= 15

- For Point:5 ,(8) 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 ((4)). Fifteen Step's.
- For Point:5 ,(8) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 ((6)). Twelve Step's
- For Point:5 ,(2) 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 9 8 7 ((6)). Fifteen Step's.
- For Point:5 ,(2) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 ((4)). Twelve Step's.

Point5 has two subtypes (5w4w6) and (5w6w4) so in a sense at some level, Point5 has two types four wings.. or one energy point:5 two types 5w4w6 and 5w6w4, four wings. So now 54 becomes a number of interest. Fifty four step's inclusive. Or one hundred and eight and if we include a value of one for the Point number in this case "5" we can have a number value of 109 and 109 is the smallest prime number over 100.

Below is a set of diagrams and if we take two of the three as like a multiplicity, two of three parts we could think about the special prime number "11".

This is the ultimate truth of the universe.

Maybe you should stick to the simple and recognise that each triangle must be utilised and that is why wings are the adjacent types.

Because otherwise they would be called "fixes".

Maybe..? It's because we move within space in many directions simultaneously , around the Sun, around as we stand on a Planet engaged in a dance with the Moon, around within a galaxy that circles a black hole at its centre.

Three differing time speeds, three differing gravitates, three differing attempts to travel on a linear track.

(Just prefacing this post by saying I am using shitty diagrams I just made in under 2 minutes in MS Paint.)

Imagine that there are a circle of nine equal cups. Despite being equal and whatnot, there are unspoken lines that divide them in three. These cups are your enneagram types and the unspoken lines represent the different triads.

Now imagine that in order to place yourself, you are given a cup full of water. The water represents you. The thing is, this cup of water is larger than the 9 equal cups. One cup of water is probably about an enneagram cup and a half.

Let's say, after some reading and and a basic understanding on enneagram, you conclude that you are a 6. You full pour your cup into it and...

Woah, looks like it overflowed into other cups a little. Mostly in the 5 cup. Which means that ta-da! You're an 6w5. But that's not all folks. Now you have to figure out the rest of your tritype. You are given another cup of water, same size as the last, but this water is a little cloudy? Kinda gross when you think about it. But now there's a catch. Can't pour this water in the MIND group. (Anything that spills over is fair game.) So after a little more reading and an intermediate understanding of enneagram, you decide that the next cup will go into 2.

Looks like the second portion of your tritype is 2w1. But don't get all smug now, it's called a tritype because there's three parts. You get one more cup, same size as the other two. This water is so cloudy that it's practically gray. If this was being served to someone, you would definitely try to do everything in your power not to let this gross water be known. After indulging in that poorly worded metaphor and a touch up on that enneagram knowledge, it seems that this cup will go to 9.

9w1. That's weird... Your 2w1 and 9w1, so the 1 cup is a little more full than it would've been..... Just kidding! If you actually had that intermediate knowledge of enneagram, you'd know that's nothing to fret over. Now that you know your tritype (which is 6w5-2w1-9w1 in that order), it's time to put it in a pitcher. There are six kinds of pitchers to choose from. (Also, the "water" is now suddenly thick. When you pour this into pitchers, the gross water is gonna stay at the bottom and the good water is gonna stay at the top. Sure, they might blend slightly, but the varying thickness of it will keep them neatly separated.)

Each has a particular flaw to them. The light red pitchers seem to break easy, making it difficult to use multiple times in a row. The pale yellow pitchers have a frustrating handle, making it hard to carry and store. The faded blue pitchers don't pour out correctly, making it tough to let out proper portions. Time to pick the bottle your poison comes in. After some self evaluation and an advanced understanding of enneagram, you conclude that the pitcher best fitting of you is sx/sp. Which means you're done! Congratulations!

Aww, don't sweat it. All in a days work. Now go out there and use this to excuse any of your flaws when faced with criticism!

(In all seriousness, I hope that helped.)
