It's a gallery opening for The Artist who is known for their unique and captivating work. The Investigator looks at the details of the art, being an expert in all the artists of this genre, his critique is highly regraded. The Loyalist has been following The Artist since they were showing at University, believing the profundity locked in the art will finally quell their doubts about life. The Enthusiast is also there with two lovers on their arm and a martini in hand as they flit from guest to guest with a certain joie de vivre.
Do any of the characters in this scene remind you of a friend or even yourself? How and why do we behave the way we do? Our personality, temperament and style are complex and sometimes can feel like a trap. The search for safety is one that starts from a young age, especially if the home you grew up in was somehow dangerous, unstable, or unsafe. The hidden wounds of these types reflect a deep relentless fear.
Kevin and Niseema continue the journey through the points of the Enneagram finishing the Heart Triad with Type 4 (the Artist) and continuing with The Mind Triad Type 5 (the Investigator), Type 6 (the Loyalist), and Type 7 (the Enthusiast) to validate how children adopt behaviors to manage fear and insecurity in very different ways. Recognizing the type of person you have become or are in relationship with gives you the opportunity to relate to yourself and others with compassion and empathy.
