since I'm a german.
But let me explain the term of 'Unenlightened Taoist':
Richard Rohr, a Franciscan Enneagram teacher, said Type 5 to be an 'unenlightened Buddha':
Buddha went through the world and later escaped it.
An average Type 5 escapes the world without going through it.
This makes a Type 5 an unenlightened Buddha.
Lao Tse, founder of Taoism, postulated Harmony with Cosmos by 'wu wei': 'not acting'.
An average type 9 won't act even if Harmony with Cosmos demands it.
This makes a Type nine like me:
an unenlightened Taoist.
So being Type 9 I'm an unenlightened Tourist in the Type 4 Board.
P.S.: Tiggy *dont scare me off!*
