sEnneagram Parallelsby DEWnada (D.Ernest Wachter)copyleft 2009
In the Philokalia it is recorded that St. Mark the Ascetic teaches usthat the eye of the soul is blinded by the three passions: avarice,self-esteem, and sensual pleasure. In the Orthodox traditionthese three great passions are said to generate all of the othervarious passions. Looking at the Enneagram of Passions we seethat the three specific passions noted by St. Mark the Ascetic andother Orthodox Fathers for having a central role in sickening thesoul just happen to be the lowest number in each enneagramsection (gut/heart/head). Avarice is the first head number, 5.Self-esteem or Pride is the first heart number, 7. Sensual pleasureor Lust is the first gut number, 8. (But in traditional Enneagramteaching the middle passions (9,3,6) generate the otherpassions.)
