Thank you, Jill! Love to you, Mary

There are many good books on the Enneagram. “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” by Don Riso & Russ Hudson is one of my favorites. You can email me at Jilleroni@juno.com if you want to discuss this some more. Best wishes & gentle hugs,
Jill

Isn’t it wonderful to share our hearts together and know none of us fully awaken until we ALL awaken to our true Love natures! Love you too Mary!! xoxo

I meant Eva lisle!! sorry Eva!! Love you.

I love what you shared Jill, I have too, been a seeker. I met Lisle in the class we were in together. And I wanted to get to know her better, because I heard how wonderful she was at teaching. I have looked just briefly at outline on Enegrams(sp?), and what you shared is me! I will look closer. I know ego is very fearful, and wants to always have the power. I am going to look that up, is there any particular book that describes the personalities? thanks Mary

What a beautiful way of seeing Jill!

Dear Mary,
I have been a spiritual seeker for most of my 60 years of life. One of the antidotes for my pain that was similar to yours was my study of the Enneagram. Once I understood that I have a personality (ego defense structure) that is described as the Type 2 — Helper/Giver — I had the yellow brick road toward my experience of wholeness. I am still a helper/giver, but in recognizing the ways that I used to LOSE myself in giving to others and self-forgetting, I chose to learn how to give to myself, set boundaries, pay attention in a new way to how I relate to people, etc. It gets better and better. Instead of trying to win others’ love, my essence shining forth magnetized the experience of love in many forms. I feel loved, by me, by God, and by others. May you open to receive whatever key will unlock the door to your love in life.
Blessings,
Jill

I so quickly forget what you shared. This last year and losing little James,two and a half, caused my questions to loom larger! And I forget to spend time with the Holy Spirit. And having so much still undone over his death, and coming upon the 1st anniversary of his leaving, things weigh heavy on my heart.

Dearest One, surely you know that you are the apple of my eye, as are each and every one of my precious children. Know that your life has been lived exactly as needed to arrive at the moment we call NOW. Your value is not based on what you do for others my dear child, your value is intrinsic, unchanging and forever. You are already in the presence of Love and you need but trust that and ask in each moment “Help me to be aware of the Love that is fully present. Guide me Holy Spirit in this moment that I may experience the Love that I am.” Then trust the inklings of your heart whether it is to make a cup of tea, take a nap, sit quietly for five minutes or call an old friend. I am always with you, you cannot get free from my loving embrace. Your pain is also in my embrace, I see you right now and know what you are going through. Feel my arms around you and trust the choices you have made. Be still and know that I am God and I am as close as your own breath.——-Holy Spirit

Amen, amen, and amen again!! Thanks Jill, xoxo
