Healthy/Unhealthy Type 8
Healthy Social 8
Tumblr media
Poe Dameron (8w7 so/sx)- His desire and devotion for the rebellion makes him a bit impulsive but well meaning. Eventually throughout the last Jedi he learns when not to fight and retreat.
Mileena MK1 (8w7 so/sx)- Her struggle to come to terms with her being the heir to the throne made her disintegrate towards 5 a bit eventually accepting her role.

Unhealthy Social 8
Tumblr media
Negan (8w7 so/sx)- Due I have to say much? He conquered and tortured almost all of the cast in the show. Caused an unnecessary war. But ig he deserved a redemption arc.

Jay Pritchett (8w9 sp/sx)- Close off a bit emotionally in the beginning of the show but he got better as time goes on.
Selina Kyle (8w7 sp/sx) - Her decision to be herself main priority and live life helping people makes her more of a hero than a villain. Also she robs rich people so...
Number 5 (8w9 sp/so)- His love and devotion to his family is felt throughout show and while he can be stubborn he doesn't let that blind him from being logical.
Unhealthy Self preservation 8

Damon Salvatore (8w7 sx/sp)- Starts the show angry and frustrated but eventually he integrates towards his 2 and becomes more calm and less impulsive.
Unhealthy Sexual 8
Tumblr media
Nate Jacobs 8w7 (sx/sp)- Pure disintegration towards 5. He is paranoid how people will feel about him once they discover who he truly is.
Claudia (8w7 sx/sp)- Sad and lonely due to the age in which she was turned she desires autonomy and love. Constantly trying to find that in Louis.
Villanelle (8w7 sx/sp)- Trying to find someone who loves her she purses Eve. The moment she doesn't have her attention she becomes violent and angry.

Ser uno mismo
No se trata de querer ser otro. Se trata de aceptarse con todos los fallos e imperfecciones y permitirse ser quien uno es.
Tumblr media
Hay personas que, ante la incapacidad de asumirse y quererse tal y como son, construyen una Armadura o personalidad falsa para funcionar por el mundo.
Solo que ser un fraude baja la vibración de una manera estrepitosa y consigue justamente lo contrario de lo que uno pretende. En vez de atraer personas, atraemos a engañados, que se creen esa persona de mentira que hemos construido.
Y mientras tanto, las personas que merecen de verdad la pena se nos alejan pues, ¿Quien querría tener cerca a un fingidor, un mentiroso o mentirosa?
La Verdad tiene un poder arrasador.
Siempre queremos ser más altos, más guapos, más listos, más exitosos.
Claudio Naranjo llamaba a esto El Juego de Calce... Tratamos de calzarnos y encajar en un molde idealizado de nosotros que es imposible lograr.
Y mientras lo hacemos y nos reventamos por el esfuerzo de ser otro, dejamos de querer a quien realmente somos.
Y nuestra alma llora, llora en secreto. Y nos vamos quedando más y más vacíos.

As far as we known, no one made it up, Gurdjieff, Ichazo, Naranjo, and others notwithstanding. The work of each has a fullness that seems to have been brought forth rather than authored. The enneagram can be applied everywhere but attributed nowhere. In this way, we can all be considered coauthors of the system.

most brainletisms in the enneagram community come from thinking that Naranjo is the God of this system… he is really not. Pre-Naranjo and Pre-Ichazo there was the Sufis and Gurdijeff who imo had a much more coherent understanding of how enneagram works.

1- Vivi ora: cioè occupati del presente piuttosto che del passato o del futuro.
2- Vivi qui: cioè occupati di ciò che è presente piuttosto che di quello che non c'è.
3- Smetti di immaginare: sperimenta la realtà.
4- Smetti di pensare quando non è necessario. Piuttosto assaggia e senti.
5- Esprimiti invece di manipolare, spiegare, giustificare o giudicare.
6- Arrenditi all'infelicità e al dolore proprio come al piacere: non restringere la tua consapevolezza.
7- Non accettare doveri oltre ai tuoi propri: non adorare idoli.
8- Prendi la piena responsabilità delle tue azioni, sentimenti e pensieri.
9- Arrenditi a essere ciò che sei.

Texts in Like Minds: Sally's Books
Tumblr media
After her first encounter with Alex, Sally returns home and consults a stack of books while listening to the recording of their discussion.  Of this stack, only two titles are discernible.  The first book is shown briefly and set aside, and the second is opened to a bookmarked page.  This large tome is titled Principles of Criminal Psychology (Fifth Edition), by George R. Booth and Andrew Porter.  Sadly, I cannot find even the tiniest scrap of the existence of this book online.  It is clearly a textbook, and presumably one she would have kept from her school days given that it’s directly relevant to her career.  The bookmarked page is titled “Chapter 27: Gestalt Theory”, and the opposite page features photos of Leopold and Loeb, who I have discussed elsewhere.  The text itself is unfortunately not clear enough to be readable. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Returning to the first book we see, there is much more information to be found online.  It is titled Gestalt Therapy: The Attitude and Practice of an Atheoretical Experientialism by Claudio Naranjo, first published in 1993.
Tumblr media
The recording Sally plays during this moment is their exchange regarding gestalt.  This concept is one that the movie highlights in this scene and again at the end during Sally’s address to her peers, but it does not clearly define or explain the idea of “gestalt” for the audience.  Gestalt first arose as a philosophical principle suggesting that the experience of the parts of something cannot fully represent the whole of that thing, like the notes of the song versus the experience of the song itself.  A cursory search of various articles online can give a brief overview of the core ideas of gestalt psychology.  Wikipedia says this:
Gestalt psychologists believed that breaking psychological phenomena down into smaller parts would not lead to understanding psychology. �� Instead, they viewed psychological phenomena as organized, structured wholes.  They argued that the psychological "whole" has priority and that the "parts" are defined by the structure of the whole, rather than the other way round.  Gestalt theories of perception are based on human nature being inclined to understand objects as an entire structure rather than the sum of its parts.  
This gives us a more thorough explanation of Alex’s very brief description of “gestalt”, but does not provide much insight into the meaning of his hints to Sally or why gestalt would have any bearing on his relationship with Nigel.  The implication we are left to surmise is that these two separate boys have combined as individuals to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts, and Sally lampshades this idea at the end in her speech referencing the movie title.  However, examination of these two books has given me some new thoughts about the use of gestalt in the film and about Sally’s conclusion regarding the dynamic between them.  
Tumblr media
Alex’s next words to Sally feel extremely significant and should be considered thoroughly: “It’s not what it is.  It’s how you use it.”  Given that both these books reference “gestalt therapy” specifically, it’s worth looking beyond the core theory of gestalt psychology to see how therapists actually use these ideas in practice.  I found a clear explanation on this page:
Gestalt therapy is an existential and experiential psychotherapy that focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts in which these things take place, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of the overall situation. It emphasizes personal responsibility. Gestalt therapy was co-founded by Fritz Perls, Laura Perls and Paul Goodman in the 1940s–1950s.
Gestalt therapy is built around two central ideas: that the most helpful focus of psychology is the experiential present moment and that everyone is caught in webs of relationships; thus, it is only possible to know ourselves against the background of our relation to other things.
I think we can already see some connections with the story as Alex presents it.  Alex and Nigel are inextricably entwined in a web of relationship, and we the audience find it impossible to understand either character outside of this context.  
Here I would like to suggest some Doylian interpretation which I believe to be possible or even likely, but for which I can offer no concrete evidence.  We know that Greg Read initially intended to make a documentary about the phenomenon of two people who match each other’s freak so well that they enable a worsening of sociopathic tendencies to the level of violent criminal behavior.  In one interview, he referenced a paper he read about gestalt psychology which opened doors in his mind and led him down this path.  He had developed the documentary idea enough to show it to other people, and someone told him it would make a great fictional movie.  Based on this, I assume he must have acquired additional materials beyond that first paper, conducting extensive research on the idea in preparation for the documentary.  I posit that the books Sally uses in this scene are Greg’s books, or copies of the same books he had referenced.  All of Sally’s scenes were filmed in Australia, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he simply brought (or already had) his own books on set.  
Working from that assumption, the ideas found in Gestalt Therapy: The Attitude and Practice of an Atheoretical Experientialism might be taken as extremely influential on Greg’s thought process in writing this film.  While the whole text is not available online, there are a few excerpts one can read for free here.  (The book itself is available through multiple websites for around US$40 at the time of this post.)  If we examine the excerpts below within the context of the movie, a few things really stand out (emphasis mine):
Perls sometimes stated the principle entailed in such strategy as one of absolute validity: You never overcome anything by resisting it. You only can overcome anything by going deeper into it. If you are spiteful, be more spiteful. If you are performing, increase the performance. Whatever it is, if you go deeply enough into it, then it will disappear; it will be assimilated. Any resistance is not good. You have to go full into it—swing with it. Swing with your pain, your restlessness, whatever is there. Use your spite. Use your environment. Use all that you fight and disown.
This sounds remarkably like the process Alex goes through with Nigel, resistant at first and gradually leaning into the swing, learning to embrace and roll with all the things he was fighting against.  A case might also be made that Nigel partakes in this process as well: he too is resistant to Alex initially, but the train scene marks a turning point in which he seems to make the decision to lean into the violence that Alex offers.  
Tumblr media
Returning to Alex’s assertion that it’s not about what gestalt is, but how you use it, these passages take on a whole new meaning.  Sally’s speech at the end of the movie suggests that she arrived at the conclusion, based on her belief in Alex’s version of events, that Nigel essentially used the techniques of gestalt therapy in a twisted, malicious way to manipulate Alex towards the culmination of the film. As she says,
“What follows, through a system of either intimidation, manipulation, or coercion, is the dominant individual begins to focus and influence the thoughts of the subordinate partner.  This process nurtures a subjective gestalt where similar thoughts, fantasies, and other interlocking elements conspire to form a greater and more volatile whole, therefore, a merging of like minds.” 
Now read the excerpt below in light of these descriptions: 
In the strategy which pervades Gestalt practice, the therapist is leading the patient through a process similar to that through which a child that is learning to sit on a chair needs to discover that he can sit only by giving his back to the chair, not by moving towards it. While this is a discovery that many make at a certain point in a typical session, a spectator may not share the insight. The patient discovers that his resentment was a diluted and devious form of healthy aggression, for instance, but this spectator may be frightened by what he sees as destructive loss of control; what the patient experiences as a rewarding and cleansing explosion of grief, brought about by the exaggeration of emptiness, the observer without familiarity with Gestalt may fear that the therapist, by urging on the patient’s symptoms, may lead him to suicide. The therapist’s ability to bring a patient to the turning point where his disowned destructive energies become his own purified strength will depend, in large measure, not upon technique alone, but on his experiential knowledge that this is possible, and in the consequent sense of trust in the constructive drives of which pathological manifestations are a distortion brought about by unhealthy denial and which can heal by itself in the presence of awareness. Such trust will enable him to pursue a given course of action to an effective degree, in spite of the patient’s chaos, rage, or loss of control—and will be important, too, in eliciting the necessary trust in the patient for him to let go. Gestalt therapy is based on the principle that to alleviate unresolved negative feelings like anger, pain, anxiety, and resentment, those emotions cannot just be discussed, but must be actively expressed in the present. Without that, psychological and physical symptoms can arise.
These passages represent the intended healthy expression of these principles.  If we take these ideas and techniques and twist them into an unhealthy, intentionally manipulative and toxic dynamic, it maps quite clearly onto the relationship between Alex and Nigel and the actions they take throughout the film.  Sally assumes that Nigel is in the role of the “therapist” leading Alex the patient through this process.  The movie’s ending presents itself as a twist and suggests that these roles were in fact reversed, particularly in light of Alex’s first interview with Sally and his ominous and vague statements about Nigel's death being a necessary means to an end.  If we accept that conclusion at face value, then consider how Alex “urging on the patient’s symptoms” may have actually “led him to suicide”.
The Gestalt therapist contrives experiments that lead the client to greater awareness and fuller experience of his/her possibilities. Experiments can be focused on undoing projections or retroflections. They can work to help the client with closure of unfinished Gestalts ("unfinished business" such as unexpressed emotions towards somebody in the client's life). 
What is the climax of this movie if not Nigel creating a violent type of closure with his unexpressed emotions toward his parents?  “It’s how you use it.”  Did Alex use gestalt therapy techniques to draw Nigel into this violent chain of events as “a means to an end”?  If so, what actually was the “end” he desired?
Tumblr media
Incorporating this information into our interpretations of the movie still does not necessarily force us into accepting Alex as Mastermind as the only reading.  I think you can certainly see that dynamic, but it doesn’t preclude Nigel as Mastermind.  In my further reading regarding gestalt therapy, I found this passage in a blog post:
A thirst for experience is part of all life. Often though, this takes the form of a wanting to move on and on to other experiences than those at hand. A craving for more replaces the need for depth that could be our natural mode of contacting the world, had we not become desensitized to it. Intuitively seeking that depth or fullness of awareness that is on our birthright, and not finding it, we seek the substitute of environmental stimulation: spicy foods, rock climbing, high-speed sportscars, competitive games, tragedies on the movie screen.
This describes Alex perfectly and speaks to his own need for the gestalt therapeutic approach.  We could argue that Nigel addresses this drive for more experiences by bringing Alex into a focus on the depths of the present moment, existing in the now that Nigel creates for him as he attempts to understand his own feelings and reactions.  As the book puts it:
The Perlses believed that it is not our responsibility to live up to others' expectations, nor should we expect others to live up to ours. In building self-awareness, gestalt therapy aims to help clients better understand themselves and how the choices they make affect their health and their relationships. 
 My own interpretation is one of equal partners both playing the role of therapist and patient to each other.  Gestalt therapy relies on the ability of the therapist to set aside their own interpretations of the patient's experiences in favor of allowing or guiding the patient to arrive at their own understandings and conclusions. I do not think that sole responsibility can be placed on either Nigel or Alex, and the events of the movie could not or would not have transpired without the active participation of both boys in each other's lives.  While the context is a dark expression of these ideas, both Alex and Nigel help each other build self-awareness and achieve a better understanding of themselves.

why enneagram 9 is anti-intuitive 🍪
i often see a lot of infp/infj 9s, and while i understand why this is — enneagram nine is often watered down as "kind" and "conflict-avoidant" — i believe that such a combination is actually impossible.
sources :
"character and neurosis" by claudio naranjo
"the complete enneagram" by beatrice chestnut
"psychological types" by carl jung
"gifts differing" by isabel briggs myers & peter b. myers
❝ intuition is also completely lacking ; that is for him just the realm of crazy fantasy. ❞ — p. 252 "character and neurosis" claudio naranjo
firstly, let's address the trait structure of the enneagram nine. in "character and neurosis," the first thing that naranjo outlines is "psychological inertia," which is described as "a paucity of inner experiences" and "a defeaning to his or her inner voices." with this, we can infer straight away that enneagram nines are mostly, if not completely, switched off from their inner worlds. but what does this actually mean? well, it basically implies that nines tend to stray away from abstraction and introspection, a characteristic that is integral to their existence. moreover, due to "robo-habit boundness" and "distractibility", they are "bound by custom and regularity" because they approach life with a strategy of "not wanting to see" and therefore not seeing, which leaves them with "an over-simplification of the outer and inner world, a diminished capacity for psychological insight." simply put, nines are attached to what is conventional, what is familiar, what is set in stone.
however, neither introverted intuition nor extroverted intuition percieve things simply as they are. where enneagram nine does not wish to see, intuitive types possess "a perceptive and penetrating vision." according to isabela briggs myers' description of the intuitive dichotomy, they are "imaginative at the expense of observation", having "no taste for life as it is, and small capacity for living as it is." intuitives are "willing to sacrifice the present", which then contradicts the sensing way of being reluctant to "sacrifice present enjoyment to future gain or good." how can an archetype that is dependent on literal-thinking and the lack of abstraction also see objects as potential for exploration or manifestations of hidden meaning? it does not make sense.
furthermore, the narcotization of the enneagram nine directly opposes introverted intuition (the dominant infj cognitive function) because it looks for patterns, meaning and/or metaphor (basically everything that lies beneath the surface) as opposed to the impression itself — yet, enneagram nines focus directly on the impression.
although this post is about nines being anti-intuitive, since i've mentioned narcotization i may as well state that because of it, enneagram nines experience the deadening of feelings, which is another reason as to why they're incompatible with types that are introverted feeling dominant (specifically infp in this context, but also isfp as well).
nines are sensory focused, naturally inclined toward their surroundings and the physical world, they find comfort in it all — but intuition literally suppresses sensing.

Escucha a tu Alma
No es la primera vez que lo escucho. 👇🏼
Oí decir a un gran experto hace unos días que más del 90% de las personas no están cumpliendo su misión de vida, ni están en la profesión para la que han venido al mundo, ni están con la pareja que deben y, en general, están malgastando su existencia, adaptándose a las circunstancias, improvisando, haciendo lo que pueden, pero errando el camino, en definitiva.
Si la vida es para un lado, están yendo para el contrario y creyendo que así van bien... ¿Porqué? Porque casi todos los demás, en ésta sociedad rebaño, también van en dirección contraria o torcida.
Ir para donde no es, resulta lo habitual.
Nos enseñan a sobrevivir, a improvisar.
No se nos enseña ni educa para seguir nuestro destino, ni para escuchar la voz interior de nuestra alma y ser coherentes con su dictado, seguirla hasta las últimas consecuencias, pese a quien pese.
Como decía Claudio Naranjo, las escuelas y colegios son granjas de domesticación.
Tumblr media
Los niños aprenden allí a adaptarse a un sistema inhumano e injusto y son entrenados para aguantar ocho horas haciendo cosas que no desean hacer, a fin de que en su vida adulta traguen laboralmente con lo mismo, a un precio de mercado barato, que a menudo sólo permite la supervivencia y beneficia a unos pocos.
Pagamos un precio altísimo en horas y esfuerzo para poder sufragar nuestro bienestar y es de locos que, como sociedad, a éstas alturas del siglo XXI, lo sigamos haciendo.
Hablas con las personas y se han tenido que conformar con su pareja, su trabajo, con su vida de segunda división. O están tratando de sobrecompensar sus carencias, complejos y miedos con mayores ingresos y postureo social, que solo encubre un tema de fondo en lo personal (el absurdo, el sinsentido, la sensación interior de que no valgo y tengo que ser más que los demás).
Yendo con mi amigo Julio a comprar a un hiper, a una de esas poblaciones del extrarradio de Madrid llenas de Fabiolos, me sorprendió el postureo lamentable de gente tan vacía. Y no es que eso no exista en otros lugares de las ciudades, es que allí era más relevante.
Parecían competir unos con otros en quien tenía el mejor coche. Se la andaban midiendo (la pilila y el chichi) que daba vergüenza ajena.
Era una risa.
Pero así es la vida vacía de muchos.
Sencillamente no han sabido como hacerlo mejor (y nadie les ha enseñado... Al sistema no le interesa la gente libre e independiente y con la personalidad suficiente para ser uno mismo).
Muchos viven, tanto en zonas pijas /fresa, como en suburbios o barrios de clase media, en una infelicidad semicómoda y asumida, muy alejada de la plenitud y la realización que se experimenta cuando se está siguiendo la dirección verdadera del Alma.
El hastío, el vacío, el aburrimiento, la sobrecompensacion de las fallas de uno mediante logros o cosas materiales, o directamente la insatisfacción, son lo más habitual entre las personas.
Otras están directamente en la supervivencia y ya ese esfuerzo les desborda.
Muchos se anestesian en la rutina, en el aburrimiento cómodo o en una actividad frenética y extenuante.
Nada de eso funciona.
Se nos educa desde niños para servir de fuerza de trabajo a la sociedad postindustrial, para sobreadaptarnos, para mantener el tipo, conformarnos, rendirnos, no para seguir la dirección interior, incluso si ello nos lleva a nadar contracorriente.
A veces seguir el propio camino supone romper con viejos patrones, con personas, con la sociedad, que nos dicta qué es lo conveniente.
Para no quedar desafectados del sistema, se nos obliga a ser una cosa que no somos y el precio a pagar es alto. Muy alto.
Pagamos con nuestro tiempo, nuestro esfuerzo, a cambio de un sueldo o ingresos, renunciando a nuestro verdadero destino.
Y así nos perdemos a nosotros mismos. Perdemos la identidad viviendo vidas que no son la nuestra.
Nos atrapan en un sistema trabajo/esfuerzo artificial, nos agarran con el dinero, con las hipotecas, las facturas que hay que pagar, con el consumo y la creación de necesidades artificiales que no son esenciales ni para vivir, ni para ser felices.
Una chica me dijo una vez (una chica de vida prisionera y conformista, de vida cobarde y adaptada) que yo le parecía muy utópico, pero mi vida es el ejemplo claro de que sigo la dirección de mi Alma aunque se derrumbe el cielo. Si yo puedo hacerlo, cualquiera puede. Solo hace falta valor.
Valor.
Y lo hago porque vine a cumplir mi Misión y el Plan que me asignaron (o yo mismo me asigné) a toda costa, y no me iré de aquí sin hacerlo, con ayuda del cielo y mis ancestros.
Pero compruebo que el valor es muy escaso.
Y da un poco de penilla ver que la gente ni se plantea éstas cuestiones en su vida cotidiana y son manejados por la existencia como corchos en la corriente de un río. O viven atrapados por el miedo a la carencia, el miedo a la pobreza o al fracaso.
Que son animales de costumbre y repetición.
También da penilla ver que muchos se autoengañan y que algunos, cuando les sobreviene el vacío, no se plantean que es una señal clara de que por ahí no es.
Mucha gente, además, es que ni siquiera sabe cuál es su camino, porque ni siquiera tiene claro quien es ella o él.
Y si no sabes quien eres, no sabes a donde vas, o si crees que vas bien encarrilado (y resulta que es un autoengaño) ningún viento te será nunca favorable.
Dicen que, de media, reencarnas unas 70 veces antes de ascender a un plano superior de manifestación.
Y eso es porque en cerca de las 69 ocasiones previas, la cagamos, la cagamos estrepitosamente.
Basta una sola vida bien vivida para ascender de nivel.
Pero nos emperramos en fastidiarla una vez y otra y luego otra.
Recupera el Rumbo, por favor, deja de hacer el imbécil y escucha a tu Alma.
Conduce el barco a buen puerto, a través de galernas, de tormentas y oleaje si es preciso.
Estamos volviendo a Casa.

I just listened to a really interesting episode of The Enneagram 2.0 podcast, hosted by two highly-regarded enneagram teachers, Beatrice Chestnut (2) and Uranio Paes (5), about misconceptions found in the common understanding and discussion of wings. Their main point is that wings are often mistakenly treated as if they were subtypes of one's core type; for example, I usually say I'm a 4w5, which suggests that I'm a 4 with a lot of qualities of type 5. The implication there is that the 5 wing modifies my core type (4) and that therefore the 4w5 is a subset of type 4.
However, according to Chestnut and Paes, this is an inaccurate understanding of what wings are and do. As they point out, a bird won't get very far if they have only one wing. All of us have both wings, and they are not subtypes of our core type, but rather resource points we can access that offer us growth, just as we access our security and stress points (wings are more gentle shifts, while the stress and security points are more radical movements). Therefore, as Chestnut suggests, to say we are dominant in one wing is to confess that we're out of balance (and that may be an accurate statement, but the invitation of the enneagram is to use both wings in order to regain and maintain balance).
Further, wings don't modify the core type, they define it: in this sense, type can be understood as the tension that exists between the two wings. For example, for type 4, the feeling of being inherently defective can be seen as resulting from the tension between the belief that our worth is defined by our accomplishments (3) and the feeling that we lack a basic understanding of the world around us unless we offset that lack with acquired knowledge (5). This understanding of wings emphasizes the nature of type not as a distinct point, but as a segment on a spectrum. As well as the enneagram’s nature as a dynamic system rather than a set of static coordinates.
Finally, Chestnut and Paes argue, the understanding of wings as subtypes comes from the need to explain why people with the same core type can often be substantially different, a need that's satisfied more functionally and more actionably by the instinctual variants (SP, SO, SX); and from the fact that the work of Chilean enneagram teacher Claudio Naranjo, who introduced the concept of instinctual variants, wasn't easily accessible to English speakers when several seminal English language books were published on the enneagram (namely, Riso and Hudson's The Wisdom of the Enneagram).
The whole podcast episode is really fascinating and informative, and can be found on their feed here.

PRECEPTOS DE LA TERAPIA GESTALT DE CLAUDIO NARANJO.
1.- Vive ahora, es decir, preocúpate del presente más que del pasado o el futuro.
2.- Vive aquí, es decir, relaciónate más con lo presente que con lo ausente.
3.- Deja de imaginar: experimenta lo real.
4.- Abandona los pensamientos innecesarios; más bien siente y observa
5.- Prefiere expresar antes que manipular, explicar, justificar o juzgar.
6.- Entrégate al desagrado y al dolor tal como al placer; no restrinjas tu percatarte.
7.- No aceptes ningún otro debería o tendría más que el tuyo propio
8.- Responsabilízate plenamente de tus acciones, sentimientos y pensamientos.
9.- Acepta ser como eres.

do you have any resources/reads for how childhood forms the types?
The very basic info is in Beatrice Chestnut’s ‘The Complete Enneagram’. She describes it in general (across the whole core) under the title ‘The Early Coping Strategy’ and also discusses certain details within the subtypes. This is a commonly read book however, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have already read it, in which case I would recommend you to read the individual enneagram books by Claudio Naranjo. These books can go further in depth on their points in general, considering they are focused on the individual cores, and this includes childhood.  I do admit that my reading on the childhood aspect is limited in comparison to other aspects due to the fact that I take it with a grain of salt. Enneagram, including its subtypes, arent monoliths. Experiences can vary, but outcomes can be the same. A person fitting every other aspect of a type except for their childhood isn’t a reason for them to not be said type.
