We are born with all three instincts undifferentiated and undefined. It is through life and our development as human beings that we begin to have a relationship with them subjectively and they can be measured as fixations of identity through the body objectively. This video answers a listener's question about the idea of being 'turned on' that is often talked about when looking at the sexual instinct. The host sets up the somatic and perceptual experience of the instincts, how they live in the body, and how to start differentiating them. Video examples are used to get a visual and verbal insight into what the enneagram measures in a personality.
Leave a comment if you have a question about an aspect of the enneagram and you'd like to see it covered on a Thursday video!
