A New Year is a time to give in to the temptation of making resolutions — some keep them more than others— can’t brag that my record is worthy of mentioning…But what’s the harm in taking stock of where we’re at in life and if we can tweak some areas towards more wisdom. Every positive [...]

After two months in a perfectly nice place on the edge of a little lake, in the Himalayan foothills with weather only matched by California or Hawaii, it was still east, west, home’s best. This trip turned out to be extremely productive towards finding connections between the Enneagram and Jyotish (Vedic) astronomy/astrology. After five years [...]

Well, we have been about a month here in India and the Internet is finally fine-tuned to the point where 70% of the time it’s working fairly well. Staying in the Himalayan foothills far away from large urban centers sure makes you realize how intertwined our lives are with electronic services and how dependent we [...]

Nine days from today, we (Sueann and I) will be playing sardines in a can for 24 hours wedged in airplanes on our way to Delhi via Taipei. We remain in India until the beginning of November. The place we’ll be staying in is in the Himalayan foothills on the shore of a little lake [...]

The Dog Days of Summer cover most of the central USA with a dome of heat while a cool Pacific breeze brings world class temperatures to California’s coast.

The huge archives of the Enneagram Monthly are packed with extraordinary material contributed by hundreds of authors and collected over 17 [...]

Still working toward a new website; we are grinding ahead and the light at the end of the tunnel is slowly coming into view. Meanwhile, I have a feeling that we are approaching a breakthrough point in Enneagram theory. Lots of new ideas, innovative ideas about teachings, and explorations of how we can link the [...]
April 2011, Issue 176
It felt good to take a break from producing the Enneagram Monthly every month. I was working on a new website for the Enneagram Monthly, but found it more challenged that I anticipated. Well, I could have used a computer guru (age 10-18 probably, who saw a typewriter only in a museum)—a kid whose birth announcement [...]
November/December 2010, Issue 175
It looks like 2011 will be a year of turbulent changes in the world, what with flailing economies and multiple hot-spots teetering on the edge of eruption. Not to be outdone, the Enneagram Monthly too has been swept up by this trend requiring a little tempest in a teacup of our own. Advancing technologies are [...]

Now that the hubbub of the election season is winding down and many citizens of the U.S. of A. are mopping up tears or confetti, depending on whether their side won or lost, attention is slowly turning towards the holiday season. It was refreshing to see the emergence of more substantial differences between the opposing [...]
