11 The Nine Passions (Deadly Sins) The Passions represent the Nine ways that we lose our Center and become distorted in our Thinking, Feeling, and Doing.

12 The “Passions” (Deadly Sins) 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 2 3 Sloth Anger Pride Deceit EnvyAvarice Fear Gluttony Lust

13 THE NINE PASSIONS 1.ANGER : This Passion might be more accurately described as Resentment. Anger by itself is not the problem, but in Ones the anger is repressed, leading to continual frustration and dissatisfaction with themselves and with the world.

Anger by itself is not the problem, but in Ones the anger is repressed, leading to continual frustration and dissatisfaction with themselves and with the world.

14 THE NINE PASSIONS 2. PRIDE : Pride refers to an inability or unwillingness to acknowledge one’s own suffering. Twos deny many of their own needs while attempting to “help” others. This Passion could also be described as Vainglory – pride in one’s own virtue. Pride refers to an inability or unwillingness to acknowledge one’s own suffering. Twos deny many of their own needs while attempting to “help” others. This Passion could also be described as Vainglory – pride in one’s own virtue.

15 THE NINE PASSIONS 3. DECEIT : Deceit means deceiving ourselves into believing that we are only the ego self. When we believe this, we put our efforts into developing our egos instead of our true Nature. We could also call this passion Vanity, our attempt to make the ego feel valuable without turning to our spiritual source.

We could also call this passion Vanity, our attempt to make the ego feel valuable without turning to our spiritual source.

16 THE NINE PASSIONS 4. ENVY : Envy is based on the feeling that something fundamental is missing. Envy leads Fours to feel that others possess qualities that they lack. Fours long for what is absent but often fail to notice the many blessings in their lives. Envy is based on the feeling that something fundamental is missing. Envy leads Fours to feel that others possess qualities that they lack. Fours long for what is absent but often fail to notice the many blessings in their lives.

17 THE NINE PASSIONS 5. AVARICE : Fives feel that they lack inner resources and that too much interaction with others will lead to catastrophic depletion. This Passion leads Fives to withhold themselves from contact with the world. Thus they hold on to their resources and minimize their needs.

Thus they hold on to their resources and minimize their needs.

18 THE NINE PASSIONS 6. FEAR : This Passion might be more accurately described as Anxiety because anxiety leads us to be afraid of things that are not actually happening now. Sixes walk around in a constant state of apprehension and worry about possible future events.

19 THE NINE PASSIONS 7. GLUTTONY : Gluttony refers to the insatiable desire to “fill oneself up” with experiences. Sevens attempt to overcome feelings of inner emptiness by pursuing a variety of positive, stimulating ideas and activities, but they never feel that they have enough.

Sevens attempt to overcome feelings of inner emptiness by pursuing a variety of positive, stimulating ideas and activities, but they never feel that they have enough.

20 THE NINE PASSIONS 8. LUST : Lust does not only refer to sexual lust; Eights are “lusty” in that they are driven by a constant need for intensity, control, and self-extension. Lust causes Eights to try to push everything in their lives – to assert themselves willfully.

Lust causes Eights to try to push everything in their lives – to assert themselves willfully.

21 THE NINE PASSIONS 9. SLOTH : Sloth does not mean laziness, since Nines can be quite active and accomplished. Rather, it refers to a desire to be unaffected by life. It is an unwillingness to arise with the fullness of one’s vitality to fully engage with life. Sloth does not mean laziness, since Nines can be quite active and accomplished.

23 The Instinctive Triad Are concerned with maintaining resistance to reality (creating boundaries resistance to reality (creating boundaries for the self that are based on physical for the self that are based on physical tensions). tensions).

24 8Ego-Self  Eights are constantly putting out energy so that nothing can get too close and hurt them. “I am going to keep my guard up”  “Nothing is going to get the upper hand on me. No one is going to get through my defenses and hurt me. In Type Eight the Ego boundary is primarily focused outward, against the environment.

25 1Ego-Self Type One also hold a boundary against the outside world, but They are more invested in maintaining their internal boundary.  Ones expend enormous energy trying to hold back certain unconscious impulses trying to keep them from getting into consciousness.  It is as if Ones were trying to say to themselves, “I don’t want that feeling ! I don’t want to have that reaction or impulse. “They create a great deal of physical tension to maintain their inner boundaries and hold aspects of their own inner nature at bay.

26 9Ego-Self Type Nine tries to hold their ego boundaries in both the areas, Internal as well as External.  Nines do not want certain feelings and states to disturb their equilibrium. They put up a wall against parts of themselves just like Ones suppressing powerful drives and emotions.  At the same time Nines maintain a strong ego boundary against the outside world so that they will not be hurt. Often engage in passive- aggressive behavior and turn a blind eye to whatever threatens their peace. “If Nines use most of their vital energy to maintain these boundaries, it is not available for living an engaging more fully in the world.

27 Ego-Self Each of these Types has problems with Aggression. Aggression becomes a powerful Rage. Eights tend to act out Rage, Nines tend to deny it, and Ones tend to repress it. Ego-Self Ego-Self InstinctiveTriad 9 98 1

29 Their heart qualities are the source of their identity Are primarily concerned with the development of a self-image. They compensate for a lack of deeper connection with the Essential qualities of the heart by erecting a false identity and becoming identified with it. They present this image to others (as well as to themselves) in the hope that it will attract love, attention, approval, and a sense of value. The Feeling Triad – 2,3,4

30 2Self-Image

31 Twos look for value in the good of others. Want to be wanted, they try to obtain favorable reactions by giving people their energy and attention. Twos look for positive responses to their overtures of friendliness, help and goodness in order to build up their own self –esteem. They focus their feelings outward on others but as a result, they often have difficulty knowing what their own feelings are telling them. They also frequently feel unappreciated, although, as much as possible, they must conceal the hostile feelings that this generates. The Feeling Triad – 2

32 Self-Image 4

33 Their energy and attention go inward to maintain a self-image based on Feelings, Fantacies, and Stories from the past. Their personality-identity centers on being “different” being unlike anyone else, and as a result, they often feel estranged from people. Fours tend to create and sustain moods rather than allow whatever feelings are actually present to arise. Less healthy fours often see themselves as victims and prisoners of their past. They believe that there is no hope of being another way because of all the tragedies and abuses that have befallen them. This is also their way of eliciting attention and pity from others and, hence, some degree of validation. The Feeling Triad – 4

36 The Thinking Triad – 5, 6, 7 The thinking Triad types are more concerned about the future as if to ask, What’s going to happen to me ? How am I going to survive ? How can I prepare myself to keep bad things from happening ? How I move forward in life ? How do I Cope ?

37 Fear-Reaction 5

38 Fear-Reaction 7

39 The Thinking Triad - 7 Type Seven Charges into life and appears to be afraid of nothing. It at first seems strange that Sevens are in a Triad whose types are afflicted by fear since they are so outwardly adventurous. Despite appearances, Sevens are full of fear, but not of the outside world : they are afraid of their inner world – of being trapped in emotional pain, grief, and especially feelings of Anxiety. So they escape into activity and anticipation of activity. Sevens unconsciously attempt to keep their minds occupied so that their underlying and anxieties and hurts will not surface.

40 Fear-Reaction 6

41 Thinking Triad - 6 In type Six, attention and energy are directed both inward and outward. Sixes feel anxious inside, and so launch into external action and anticipation of the future like Sevens. But having done so, they eventually become afraid that they will make mistakes and be punished or overwhelmed by demands on them, so like Fives they jump back inside. They get scared by their feelings again, and the reactive cycle continues, with Anxiety causing their attention to bounce around like a Ping-Pong-ball.

42 THE SOCIAL STYLE 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 2 3 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 2 3 Withdrawns CompliantsAssertive

43 Strategy employed by Types to get what they want 3, 7, 8 insist or demand that they get what they want. Their approach is active & direct as they go after what they need.

44 Strategy employed by Types to get what they want 1, 2, 6 all attempt to earn something by placating their super ego to get what they want. They do their best to be “good boys and girls” to get their needs meet.

45 Strategy employed by Types to get what they want 4, 5, 9 all withdraw to get what they want. They disengage from others to deal with their needs.

46 How Types Cope when they do not get what they want 9, 2, 7 ( Positive outlook group) all three respond to conflict and difficulty by adopting, as much as possible a “positive attitude” re- framing disappointment in some positive way.

47 How Types Cope when they do not get what they want 3, 1, 5 (Competency Group). These people have learned to deal with difficulty by putting aside their personal feelings and striving to be objective, effective, and competent.

48 How Types Cope when they do not get what they want 6, 4, 8 (Reactive Group). These types react emotionally to conflicts and problems and have difficulties knowing how much to trust other people : “I need you to know how I feel about this.” In conflicts, the reactive types want the other person to match their emotional state “ This is really bothering me! It should bother you too.

49 How each type Manipulates others 1.By correcting others – by insisting that others share their standards. 2.By finding out others’ needs and desires – thus creating dependencies. 3.By charming others – and by adopting whatever image will “work” 4.By being temperamental – and making others “walk on eggshells” 5.By staying preoccupied-and by detaching emotionally from others. 6.By complaining – and by testing others commitment to them. 7.By distracting others – and by insisting that others meet their standards. 8.By dominating others – and by demanding that others do as they say. 9.By “checking out” – and by passive –aggressively resisting others.
