One interesting thing to consider about the Enneagram, or any system that maps our internal structures is that by reading about such structures, you immediately start to work on them in yourself. This is part of evolution, because not only do we evolve on a physical level, we also evolve on every other level you can think of. If I am trying to learn a tricky chi gung movement I have to develop my physical awareness, going deeper into my body so I can relax and connect with the natural flow of internal energy- and then practice the move until I can do it - in other words I change. On a physical level we respond to the physical and ona psychological level it is the same. So when I look at a map of psychological development, I start to work on it. Sometimes this is unconscious response, other times it is very conscious and we have an 'aha' moment of understanding. This takes the effort out of growing and developing because we are going to grow and develop whatever happens. Of course, we can fight it or go with it.
