> Also - is it necessary to know the nature of a thing before one can transcend it? I.e., does one need to know all about one's personality point before incorporating the other epoints into their personality, and eventually moving beyond. Personally, I don't think so.

I would say quite the opposite--you can't know the nature of a thing UNTIL you transcend it. The fixation of type 5 is to believe amassing knowledge about a thing will lead to this complete understanding. I agree with Dave's response: with work on yourself and all aspects of your personality, you will end up incorporating things from all enneapoints. Then the understanding will come.
