The Deceitfulness of Good - Part II

"What we resist not only persists, but will grow in size." ~ Carl Jung

There are a couple of different words for what each Enneagram type resists - but typically they are referred to as The Passion or The Vice. So when I first began hearing about the Passions I was confused because Passion sounded good - like something you’re really good at or something you really love. But, in this context Passion comes from the Latin word Passio which meas TO SUFFER. I absolutely prefer PASSION over VICE because the definition of Vice is ‘moral fault or wickedness'. Do you FEEL the difference? What we would call a fault or an act of wickedness, a vice, seems to be an outward action where are PASSION is inward…it’s what we HOLD INSIDE. It might even seem GOOD to suffer in silence or even deny our suffering.

We will look at Enneagram types 1, 2 and 3 in this episode.
