Dismantling the False Core Pattern

Last updated on: January 30, 2015 at 11:36 am By Barbara Alexander

Discovering one's False Core Belief is the first step to the emergence of the Unique Self. One of the tools we use to discover this belief is the Enneagram, a system of nine distinct personality styles (or enneatypes) that lead to nine different paradigms or perspectives on life. What we find compelling in this model is that each of the nine types is marked by a particular pattern of thinking and feeling, a “cognitive-emotional habit” that is based on the motives behind a person's priorities and preferences rather than on behavior itself. This habit deeply influences your original False Core Belief and therefore the feelings, thoughts and particular ways you hold your body and these, taken all together result in your False Self Pattern.

My New Year’s Wish for the World

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 2:55 pm By Barbara Alexander

In the chaos of this New Year I didn’t write the New Year’s Wish I had intended to post. Now after the events in Paris, the words of Mother Teresa I planned to begin with ring in my ears . . . If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Blessed Mother Teresa May we use every way we know to remember that we belong to each other. May we realize...

We are evolution become conscious of itself. Julian Huxley Recently I read Carter Phipps new book, Evolutionaries: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science’s Greatest Idea. If you need a shot of hope, order it today, it’s well worth it. I’m a voracious reader and often suggest to my husband that he read something I’ve particularly liked. Sam thinks most books should/could be articles but to his credit, he most often skims my recommendations. I know... Read more

How Then Shall We Live?

Last updated on: February 26, 2013 at 5:40 pm By Barbara Alexander

I wrote in December about the radical experiential knowledge that we are not simply separate individuals but beings who are deeply connected to the timeless, eternal Reality that is called by many names. This is classical enlightenment. The story I used last time about waves and water illustrates the normal state before enlightenment or awakening as I prefer to call it. The first wave was convinced that it was separate and would be destroyed on impact with the shore. The... Read more
