> After a discusiion with a professor of Religion I came to an idea about how the enneagram describes the 3 main ways that religion and phiosophy approach God.

> Thinking Center people (5/6/7) attempt to find or discover the God of the Philosophers. The objective Creative force (7), the Laws of Nature (6), and/or the mathematics of creation and emanation (5).

> Feeling Center people (2/3/4) attempt to meet God as in relationship. Through service in the world(2), in their works (3), or through the sacred in the inner wellsprings of one's self (4).

> Instinctive center people (8/9/1) attempt to influence God. Through force of will (8), union (9), or perfect execution of prescribed duties (1).

I'm the kind of person that would never belive in God. I say...Belive in youselve
, not God.

Therefore I would never find, discover, meet, or influence something that
does not exist in "my world". Please note that everyone tends to live
in their own world, and God's not in mine. Urghh, I am even using a big G
in God not to insult any of you...:)
