Ahhh ... any good story teller knows that .    It is an essential  for character development  ... well, for having a range of interesting, interacting characters .   I usually go for the 7 planetary model .  

 

 

 

 

While others prefer a 12 level astrological model

Is there a movie with the Gurdjieff's enneagram?

1 - thanks. Funny!

 

2 - the previews were great. Although the first one was more like a summary lol. As to the second, I'd heard of the dirty dozen but not what it was about.

 

3 - #2DD reminds me that back in the days of the draft, if you wanted the tough guys you thought of making a criminal a soldier. In the current days when it's been all volunteer for a long time, the toughest guys ARE the soldiers already. I think there was this idea with the movie that being criminals also meant they were much more no-holds-barred about behavior. Haven't seen the modern strike force military has any reservations about that though. No prison records required... preferably not, actually...

 

4 - #1 reminds me of a "sponsored insight" I once had, as I call intuitive understandings, where I'd been reading feng shui stuff, and was rearranging a room physically, when I suddenly realized a few things at the same time:

* first, that feng shui was astrology on the ground;

* second, that human relationships are social astrology: we "orbit" each other. We have trines, squares, we sometimes eclipse each other;

* third, that human relationships are under the same rules as feng shui: we often distribute the energies (e.g. earth vs. fire) and if the people in a group don't intuitively take the natural distribution, you end up with too much fire or too much water, and so on; and

* fourth, that you can model situations, both ongoing (certain job/house) or temporal (a party or board meeting) as certain primary elements, and consider a person experiencing that event in light of that relationship; like venus in scorpio or water in a fire zone; and get certain insights from thinking about things that way (and often see more of what qualities a person best/least expresses based on 'comparing' them in your head to certain situations or events that would well fit a certain element, and considering how they might respond or be affected).

 

5 - #4/third reminds me of realizing one day that if I'm in a situation where people are scared, and I take courage, other people seem to feel more fear; if I feel fear, someone else seems to take courage; and I considered that it was present at work, since I was young: if I was the one who would remember everything, people let me; if I was the one who would figure things out, people let me; but if alternatively I waited for a man to do something (usually an option as a woman if it's something physical) (golly you're strong. And I sure prefer YOU having to lift the 70# boxes not me, so I'm just going to look at you with those wide eyes, ok? LOL), it's like he would take that energy, and I would realize I had become one of the pack, 'letting' him -- I didn't feel as sure, or as confident, or as proactively-exploratory-about-solving something, as if I had literally "given that energy away." I find the subject of small group dynamics really fascinating.

 

6 - #5 reminds me that in small psi groups I've observed over the last decade or two, the "distribution of data or data-type" is so common it's a given and this is in doubleblind conditions where nobody knows consciously the target or what others are doing until it's done, so it does sort of emphasize this "distribution of energy within groups" is something innate (not conscious or social only).

PS mysteriously, my firefox is greying out all the WYWIWYG boxes in this forum and everything I type is an endless line I can't even see, so I have to type in text and copy over here. Anybody with a clue about why this is so feel welcome to volunteer.
