Journey Toward God, Enneagram 101

The Enneagram is a resource for the Christian journey back to God which identifies how the soul experiences inner confusion and reacts mechanically to the anxieties of the world. The discovery of one’s personality type through the Enneagram is a journey of self discovery.

True Self: Discovering the Person God Created You to Be
Location: M218

Franciscan priest Father Richard Rohr believes that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the “problem of self.” In a series of six CDs titled “True Self/False Self,” we will listen as Rohr helps us to let go of our false selves and move toward our truer selves defined by God’s vision for us. A basic understanding of the Enneagram is helpful.

March 10th
What does aid, Jesus style, look like?
The Aid can be counter-productive, if not destructive. During last Friday's men's breakfast, speaker Jim Horton's theme was "The Ethics of Aid." He quoted Jacqueline Novogratz with the Acumen Fund:
"Giving away money effectively can be much more difficult than making it. Philanthropy can appeal to people who want to be loved more than they want to make a difference. While the former is not all that difficult, the latter can take a lifetime to achieve...People don't want to be taken care of---they need the chance to fulfill their own potential. Too many projects create dependence that helps no one in the long run."
She brings to mind a comment from my best friend from high school, who is an orthopedic surgeon. He's just returned from his third medical mission trip to Haiti and he saw virtually no change in the state of life compared to his previous two trips. Noting innumerable social service and relief agencies anchored in Haiti for many years, he wondered whether the millions of dollars and thousands of hours given by people like him have only enabled an inefficient, corrupt system to stay in power. In his opinion there's been more enabling than transforming.
Ms. Novogratz offers some of what Jesus has in mind with aid. She asks that we recognize how smart the poorest people of this world are; to honor the call everywhere to feed explosions of human potential heretofore stymied.
Lila Watson, an Australian aborigine, gives more content to aid that's in sync with Jesus:
"If you have come to help me you can go home again. But if you see my struggles as part of your own survival, then perhaps we can work together."
The operative word is "together;" to be a team, to be so much more than mere givers on one side and receivers on the other. I submit this is a pretty solid picture of what Jesus aid looks like amplified by seeing what it's not.
Blessings,
Verdery
