: You're using the enneagram as a structure that can contain and organize all systems of thought and action as Bennett suggests. But, you're combining that with a psychological system that exhibits mind-body duality in an attempt to unify them via the Gurdieff moving and instinctive functions, and the neurophysiological and neuroanatomical control of movement. Your comparing apples, bread and pork.
: The Jungian functions are a system for psychology, the only correspondence you can identify is that the sensation function includes physiological sensations. More than that is a biiiiiiiiiig strrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetch.
Dave, I agree entirely with you, and would add that the sensation function in Jungian psychology is far more encompassing than neurophysiological movements.
Walter - have you been to any Enneagram workshops? If you haven't, you might want to go to one or two. It sounds to me like you're reading too many books. Regarding the Enneagram or Jungian typology, it's always important to understand your own type in depth, it sounds like you're trying to run before you can walk.
