Movement Control and the Enneagram

Subject:

Comments:
: : The Sensori-motor nervous system as demonstrated by the enneagram structure (in layman's english): : At point 7 are the sensory receptor organs in the joints and muscles which input information such as proprioception (balance), pressure, strain, etc.. They relay this to point 1 in the spinal cord and lower brainstem via spinal cord nerve tracts, which discriminates which sensations will be dampened and which will be transmitted fully. This goes to point 4 in the higher cortical brain centers which translates this this into descriptive sensations, emotions ,and modifies the data based on learned experiences. This moves to point 2 which transmits downward through the spinal cord to the motor nerves and into to the muscles. At point 8 is the motor control and contractions within the muscles. Then at point 5 we have the intrinsic regulators of the contraction (ie Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindles, etc.) which monitors the degree of contraction and sends info to point 7 , and the cycle continues. : The autonomic nervous system (controlling "involuntary" functions such as respiration, heart rate, etc.) can be represented by the 3-6-9 triad. 6 is the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) which keys up the body in response to stress or danger. Point 9 is the para-sympathetic nervous system which does the opposite (and the one accessed in relaxation). Point 3 is the moving function which modifies the responses of both points based on either instinctual/innate or learned patterns and responses. : Point 6 is appropriately placed with wings of 7 & 5, because the sensory receptor organs (point 7) and the muscle tone regulators (point 5) both have direct input into the sympathetic N.S.(point 6). : Point 9 is in relation to the degree of muscle contraction (point 8) and the discriminated sensory input (point 1). : Point 3 represents the movement patterns of neuromuscular control formed by emotions (point4) and coordination (point 2). : Now, to be Jung again: : We may say that the persona at point 3 represents false movement patterns caused by denied, repressed, or painfull emotions (point 4) which block the normal movement patterns which are flexible (as anything at point 3 is), and/or poor coordination due to laziness (disintegration to 9/learning under stress at 9). : New movement patterns are formed by going against the arrows into a relaxed para-sympathetic state and re-educating them, or by being formed under stimulation or stress at point 6. : Extraversion =deals with data external to nervous system : Intraversion= " " " intrinsic to nervous system : By points: : 7=Ext. Sensation: from outside stimuli : 1=Ext. Thinking: interpretaion of 7 : 4= Int. Feeling: of what 1 presents : 2=Ext. Feeling: how to respond to outside based on what 4 presents : 8=Ext. Intuition: ????Motor response : 5=Int. Thinking: interpretation of intrinsic tone : 6= Ext. Sensation: how to respond to environment : 9= Int. Intuition: Motor relaxation : 3= Movement patterns and persona as explained above : : So Walter, does this help you? :
