The Integral Enneagram model is the integration of three main components:
The Enneagram: a profoundly enlightening human psychospiritual model that reveals the hidden patterns of human drives, motivational systems, survival strategies, and meaning making methods of life.
Stages of the Mind: the mapping of the journey of each of the 9 Enneagram types along the stages of cognitive capacity and complexity development. For cognitive capacity development the model uses the Spiral Dynamics Integral as the main backbone, in addition to the work of Ken Wilber, Piaget, Gebser, Maslow, and other transpersonal and developmental scientists and their models.
Stages of the Heart: the spiritual journey of each of the 9 types from deep fixation to a sense of mystical unity and oneness. The Sufi 7 stages of development of the ego/self are used as the backbone of the model, in addition to numerous other spiritual works from diverse religious and philosophical backgrounds.
The three models together create a 3D map, providing an accurate diagnosis of the individual personality traits, cognitive and intellectual value systems, and spiritual capacity for presence and oneness.
