The BarrcastThe BarrcastPrivilege and the Self Preservation TwoIn this episode of the Barrcast, we encounter the Self-Preservation Two, a personality structure deeply connected to privilege and the power of exhibiting childlike traits. This is a structure that seeks love and validation without the effort of achievement or responsibility. Transformation for this type involves embracing maturity, responsibility, and self-sufficiency, ultimately breaking free from the seductive, childlike persona.Talking Points:🔄 Egocentrism and the Need for LoveThe core desire for this type is to be loved simply for existing. Ichazo’s concept of “me the most important” reveals a neurotic longing for adoration, similar to a child’s...2025-01-2840 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastConquest and the Sexual TwoIn this episode of the Barrcast, we get to know the Sexual Two, whose keyword is conquest. Unlike the Social Two's ambition to impress groups, the Sexual Two channels their energy into one-on-one relationships, employing seduction as a tool for eliciting affection, loyalty, and recognition. Transformation for the Sexual Two involves dismantling pride and embracing humility, vulnerability, and authentic connection.Talking Points:đŸŒ± From Pride to HumilityTransformation begins when the Sexual Two acknowledges their limitations and relinquishes the need to be seen as perfect or irreplaceable. This journey includes learning to ask for help, acc...2025-01-2043 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastAmbition and the Social TwoIn this episode of the Barrcast, we get to know the Social Two, a personality structure driven by the need for ambition and recognition in the social sphere. The Social Two’s pride fuels their desire to be "above," leading them to craft an image of importance and seduction to win admiration from groups. The Social Two’s transformation work moves them from leadership to equality, in which they embrace humility, vulnerability, and genuine relational intimacy.Talking Points:🔗 Superiority vs. AmbitionEchoes of the Social One (Superiority/Inadaptability) are here for the Social Two, but the Two’s n...2025-01-1150 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastConcern and the Self Preservation OneIn this episode of The Barrcast, we wrap up the One with the Self-Preservation One, whose keyword is concern, a constant worrying. Unlike the other subtypes, the SP One accesses perfectionism through being painfully attuned to their own imperfections. Talking Points:đŸ«” The Inner CriticUnlike the Social or Sexual Ones, the Self-Preservation One internalizes their imperfections acutely. This fuels an obsessive cycle of self-improvement that masks their anger with benevolence and service, often at great personal cost. 🎭 Acceptance and pleasureThe path to growth includes reconnecting with instinctual life and allowing space for pleasure. This involv...2025-01-0136 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastZeal and the Sexual OneIn this episode of The Barrcast, we explore the Sexual One, whose keywords are vehemence and zeal. Unlike the other One subtypes, the Sexual One channels their anger into a passionate pursuit of justice and righteousness. The result is a personality whose trust in the instincts of their body overrides other inputs.Talking Points:⚔ The CrusaderThe Sexual One feels a fiery, embodied urge to address injustices and “make things right.” Their instincts become a vehicle for justice, resulting in a confident and determined approach to life.đŸ›Ąïž The Warrior's PactFrom an early age, the Sexual One...2024-12-1742 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastInadaptability/Superiority and the Social OneIn this episode of The Barrcast, we learn aboutthe Social One, whose keywords are inadaptability and superiority. Unlike the other subtypes, the Social One asserts their correctness and moral high ground through a subtler, more withdrawn approach. Talking Points:🧍 Sitting at the grownups tableFrom a young age, the Social One often assumes a grown-up role, gravitating toward adults rather than peers. This early sense of responsibility reflects their drive to distinguish themselves and avoid the perceived mess of childhood.đŸ”ïž Moral High Ground as RefugeThe Social One’s need for superiority often manifests as a retreat...2024-12-1239 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastNot quite my tempo: Anger and the Enneagram OneIn this episode of The Barrcast, we introduce the Enneagram One, known as the Reformer. As part of the doing triad, the One is characterized by the passion of anger— not the fighting instinct, but something more primordial, rooted in the frustration caused by the friction between what is and what ought to be. The result is an internal, fiery drive to correct what is perceived as wrong or imperfect.Talking Points:🎄 The Divine Memory of PerfectionRichard Rohr’s account of experiencing perfection as a child—a perfectly trimmed Christmas tree—illustrates the One’s simultaneous...2024-12-0521 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastAppetite and the Self-Preservation NineIn this episode of The Barrcast we wrap up the Nine with the self-preservation subtype, a character shaped by “appetite.” Unlike the overt hunger of other types, the Nine’s appetite is a more instinctual desire for comfort, stability, and numbing pacification. We discuss how this appetite manifests not just physically but as an unconscious strategy to avoid the deeper question of being. Talking Points:đŸœïž I Eat, Therefore I Am The unique Cartesian expression of the self-preservation Nine reflects a substitution of being with physical satiation. We explore how this subtype’s appetite goes beyond f...2024-11-1821 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastSymbiosis and the Sexual NineIn this episode of the Barrcast, we explore the Sexual Nine, a character defined by their drive for “symbiosis” or deep fusion with others. The Sexual Nine’s yearning for union stems from a profound sense of disconnection within themselves, leading them to seek a complete merging with others as a way to feel whole. Topics include: the difference between true connection and codependent fusion; the neurotic game of symbiosis as a substitute for true selfhood; and the Sexual Nine’s journey toward reclaiming their autonomy and discovering genuine intimacy.Talking points:đŸ•¶ïž The “Nowhere Man” – how the Sexual Nine...2024-11-1142 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastParticipation/Belonging & the Social NineIn this episode of the Barrcast, we get to know the Social Nine, a character defined by their need for “participation” or “belonging.” The Social Nine’s longing to belong stems from a chronic feeling of not fitting in, leading them to overcompensate by taking on roles that make them indispensable to the group. Topics include: the self-sacrificing, good-natured qualities of the Social Nine; their tendency to avoid personal emotions in favor of maintaining group harmony; and the driving need to feel included, even if it means working tirelessly to earn a sense of acceptance.Talking points:🐘 The...2024-11-0524 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastFloat On: Sloth and the Enneagram NineIn this episode of the Barrcast, we introduce the Nine, a personality type often described as peaceful and self-forgetting. Positioned at the top of the Enneagram, the Nine is sometimes considered the "baseline" type, able to look down on with unique challenges in self-awareness and motivation.Key Points:* Nines possess a unique ability to empathize and see the perspectives of other Enneagram types but often struggle to assert their own identity.* The nine’s “sloth” is more than lethargy; it represents a resistance to inner change and personal awakening.* By avoiding confli...2024-11-0416 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastSatisfaction and the Self-Preservation EightIn this episode of the Barrcast, we explore the Self-Preservation Eight, whose passion is “satisfaction”—a need driven by survival and self-interest. Topics include: the lion-like nature of the Self-Preservation Eight, their pursuit of security and control; how they express strength through commanding loyalty; the reasons behind their instinct for protection and their rejection of love and the good. We examine the challenges the Eight faces in letting go of material and emotional control, and the transformative potential of embracing vulnerability and trust. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other...2024-10-3033 minThe BarrcastThe BarrcastPossessiveness and the Sexual EightIn this episode of the Barrcast, we dive into the Sexual Eight, whose core passion is “possessiveness.” Topics include the voraciousness of the Sexual Eight, their intense need for control, power, and autonomy and their tendency toward detachment from intellect. Discussion touches on their amoral perspective – it’s right because I do it – and how their need for power manifests in a vicious cycle of possession and isolation. This is a public episode.
