“I have the impression that the Enneagram Monthly is the most open-minded and least politically perverted publication in its field. The very fact that the EM has been eager to interview me and Oscar Ichazo reveals an understanding and decency that makes it rise beyond what I have called 'the arrogant ignorance of the enneagram community'.”
