Is there even a middle ground between our fractured groups?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That was the topic of our conversation on the blog recently.

Because I’m sufficiently privileged to have an enormous level of control over how my life unfolds, I don’t want to squander that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I remind myself of this quote each time I’m feeling upset with the state of my life.

The last enneagram point we'll be looking at this

The last enneagram point we'll be looking at this week acts as the bridge between the 8s and the 1s, namely the 9s.

I've gone with the average rather than unhealthy version of the 9 in the images because I think it's more relatable to more people.

The big challenge for the 9 is the tendency to disassociate. This disassociation can look like many things but the unifying quality is that it has a numbing effect.

If, as a 9, you can choose to lean into the world rather than out of it, it's a very good thing. 9s are the peacemakers and right now you're desperately needed. You temper the self-righteousness of the 1 and the bullying tendency of the 8.

For a healthy 9, think of Barack Obama. Surfing culture, the 60/70s hippy culture, and the yogic community all display many characteristics of a 9 in both its healthy and unhealthy forms.

If you're building a community, the key thing for a 9 to remember is this; you don't have to tone police or 'emotion-police' everyone. Most people are going to express themselves less diplomatically than you. That's ok. Other people's level of tolerance for heightened emotion and expression isn't always a sign that things are going off the rails. Sometimes it's just a sign of engagement. So, checking your tendency to push for peace at all costs, is vitally important when growing your community.

Another really strongly prevailing enneagram type

Another really strongly prevailing enneagram type right now is the 1s. 1s occupy the realm of social justice, right and wrong, perfectionism, moral conscience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A healthy expression of a 1 looks like Mahatma Gandhi.
An unhealthy expression looks like the Taliban.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the past few years, I've been reflecting in myself how quickly righteousness can turn into self-righteousness. How deeply entrenched these ideas of 'right' and 'wrong' are within our collective psyche.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've reflected often on the ways that seeking a middle ground can be perceived as weak (and sometimes is) and can reflect situational ethics.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A 1 doesn't like situational ethics. A 1 loves moral absolutes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As someone who can visit 1 from my own enneagram point, I've often felt good about expressing moral absolutes. In environments where people are speaking in a xenophobic manner for example, I feel very happy to sit in a world of moral absolutism.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, I often encourage people to draw a line in the sand about these things because I think it's wildly important not to be silent on such issues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in more reflective moments, I remember that xenophobes are also very comfortable in their world of moral absolutism.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was a time when I thought I could eventually just convince such people of a different perspective. I don't believe that anymore. I don't think they want to be dissuaded of their views.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So in the spirit of healing the world's divides, I'm looking for another way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if, rather than speaking about 'right' and 'wrong', the conversation was about values?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if, rather than value judgments, we changed the narrative to consider how and why we express and prioritise our values?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It might be a potential inroad...
