Enneagram

In the Fourth Way, the enneagram is a diagram for studying processes. It brings the law of three and the law of seven into one figure.

Three · 9–3–6

The interaction of affirming, denying and reconciling forces.

Seven · 1–4–2–8–5–7

Development is not uniform: a process has intervals where its direction can change and further input is needed.

Read this as Gurdjieff’s process symbol. The later personality-type enneagram is a different use of the figure.
