The wonderful Speed Gavroche passed these on to me on another thread, from an outside source and I thought with the Enneagrams and Instincts thing, it might be quite fun to match them up to the characters. To lunalove, if you don't want this instincts stuff on your thread please let me know and I'll get it moved, I wouldn't want you to think I was disrespecting your thread space, and I'm truly sorry if you do think this.

Here are the 'mantras:'
Sx/Sp:"If I can make (us) have an orderly & pleasing lifestyle, I can keep up and escalate all this merging/intensity."
Sp/Sx: "I can have merging/intensity without having to leave my orderly & pleasing lifestyle." (imagination, safe people and relationships, when the safety of these are challenged they withdraw)
Sp/So: "If I can maintain position and inclusion in the group/world, I can make sure of and keep my orderly and pleasing lifestyle." (May try to be just appealing and connected with groups enough for everyone to get out of their hair. )
So/Sp: "If I can establish an orderly and pleasing lifestyle, I can make sure of and keep improving my position and inclusion in the group/world."
So/Sx: "If I can get close to people with merging/intensity, I can make sure of and keep improving my position and inclusion in the group/world."
Sx/So: "If I can maintain position and inclusion in the group/world, I can keep up and escalate all this merging/intensity."
