Enneagram and Knowing where you are

There is one thing in common about LPG members: they are all into self-improvement.

Harry Palmer, author of the Avatar (R) materials says, "You can't get to New York from Boston when you are in Chicago." Knowing where you are--your starting point--is key to getting to where you want to go.

On the surface, the statement seems common sense enough. After all, that's how we use Google map every time we want to get directions to where we are going; we all start with "where am I"?

Carrying it out, on the other hand, is not as straight-forward as most of us want to admit. Determining where you are requires a high degree of integrity and self-honesty that left to our own devices few of us actually have.

The enneagram technique (discussed in LPG march sessions) is a powerful way to assess where you are. It's made more powerful when you use it with the support from someone you trust.
