Fundamental truths of human beings have generated a philosophical catharsis about the role of the mind confronted to the pure essence.

Finding the inner freedom, understood as “no need for internal or external dependency for sustaining peace” will be possible if we find the necessary tools to know the perfect map that allows us to get out of our prison.

The Enneagram is a key part of such a map; it explains how our structure was created, how it trapped us and how it makes us slaves. The Universal Laws, the Laws of the Practical Life and Sociology of Evolution, key concepts of the Alchemy of Love, provide us precious keys for understanding the prison, since they allow us to understand why we have chosen our ego structure, a certain enneatype and not another.

This is the general framework of the evolutionary process that allows a gradual elimination of a system of beliefs based on suffering, something that has not allowed us to understand the reason of our fundamental design in scientific, practical and useful terms. Understanding this should allow us to perform from our internal love center, expressing our essence and transcend the limitations imposed by culture and society.
