Facets of Unity presents the Enneagram of Holy Ideas as a crystal clear window on the true reality experienced in enlightened consciousness. Here we are not directed toward the psychological types but the higher spiritual realities they reflect. We discover how the disconnection from each Holy Idea leads to the development of its corresponding fixation, thus recognizing each types deeper psychological core. Understanding this core brings each Holy Idea within reach, so its spiritual perspective can serve as a key for unlocking the fixation and freeing us from its limitations.

Amazon.com Review

A.H. Almaas presents "the holy ideas" that are the spiritual realities of the nine personality types that the Enneagram reflects. For those unfamiliar with the Enneagram, he includes an introduction to the structure of psychological typecasting rediscovered by Oscar Ichazo, founder of the Arica School, who gives this book its high credentials by having written the Foreword. While other books on the subject explain the different characteristics and behaviors of each of the nine fixations or types, Almaas expounds here on how the disconnection from each holy idea leads to the development of its corresponding fixation. Then he provides keys to unlock them. For example, the "seven" type's holy idea is "holy wisdom," which Ichazo defines as "The awareness that reality exists as a succession of moments, each experienced as the present, and that it is only by existing in the present that the constant unfolding of the Cosmos can be experienced ... can real work be done, and results achieved." --Randall Cohan

Review

"Lucid, precise and infinitely helpful to seekers everywhere. I heartily recommend Facets of Unity to Enneagram enthusiasts, to my own students of inner knowing, and to followers of every spiritual tradition."—Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram

"Serious students of the Enneagram will find much of value in this book. . . . The Holy Ideas can be highly challenging material, but Almaas presents them with clarity, thoroughness, and grace such that we can all gain a taste of the deeper truths of this remarkable system."—Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, authors of Personality Types

Facets of Unity introduces Enneagram students to experiencing Reality beyond words.

June 16, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is not easy reading, but students of the Enneagram will not find a better discussion of the Holy Ideas - the facets of unity. Basic Trust, Living Daylight or Loving Light, and Holding are terms used to describe the indescribable that is beyond words.

Spiritual Awakening Using The Enneagram

December 14, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book took my understanding of the enneagram to a whole new level. It should definitely be an advanced level book, after you have a pretty firm grasp on the system. This book definitely took my application of the enneagram in my life to a much more spiritual level. I was very much still at odds with religion (the organized religions of my upbringing to be more precise) and after finishing this I was much more open to the idea of bringing some of that spirituality back into my life. This was definitely a "difficult" book, keep going and don't give up as the further I went into the material the more it began to sink in and all come together. I read From Fixation to Freedom by Eli Jaxon-Bear prior to reading this and I would suggest that to anyone who wants to read this book. It was a much easier to grasp introduction to the 9 holy ideas and the split duality of each type, which is a good thing to have an understanding of before getting into Facets of Unity.

A profound teaching

March 15, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A profound book about the anneagram...a difficult read if you are not a student of Hameed Ali's. And if you want to more deeply understand the anneagram, and if you are a patient reader, this is a true help on the road to realization.

This was the last "spiritual" book I bought.

October 14, 2000

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book hit all the right spots for me. I bought it when it first came out. In spite of the fact that I had read many good books on inner work before this one, I was still surprised by the power that the words had on me. What really pleased me about this work is that it treats the ennea-types as fixations. I have found that in my own life, I was not just one type for very long. In other words, I could relate to all the other "types" at one time or another. Almaas explaines this by saying that if you have one fixation, in a sense you have all of them. If you are totally free from one fixation, you are free from all of them. One's inner orientation is either on the ennea-fixations or on the "Holy Ideas." There a many details about this that I hope you will read for yourself. I would recommend this book for those people that have had some experience with inner work already. I wouldn't recommend this book if you have had very little or no experience with inner work. I don't think proir knowlege of the enneagram is necessary to get the most from this book.

This has been a delightful, eye-opening treatise on spiritual potential. It is fair and inclusive to all traditions and schools of thought. Definitely worth the time and consideration. You will want to take notes. A wonderful journey in self-awareness and compassionate outward focus; ultimately, it is all one.

Depth Enneagram

April 16, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Good coverage of the jewels of the Enneagram. It goes beyond the shallow interpretation of Enneagram as rigid boxes of type that is characteristic of pop psychology. Worth reading if you seek depth of understanding. It begins a deep exploration of the potential of the Enneagram as a guide.
