Читать книгу Enneagram For Dummies - Jeanette van Stijn - Страница 83

As reported by people who make an effort to observe and study themselves, each Enneagram type unconsciously and involuntarily has a preferred object that draws that type's attention. The focus of the attention is the core of the type mechanism, forming the foundation of the entire automatic pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting for the respective type. The object that is (unconsciously) considered so important is referred to as the underlying driving force, or unconscious motivation. The Enneagram revolves around getting to know your patterns of attention and exploring your individual emotional programming that ensures that you act reflexively in certain situations. When you react and act on reflex as triggered by your pattern of attention, you are guided by this autopilot mechanism. The aim of working with the Enneagram is to make you conscious of the autopilot and, on the basis of this conscious knowledge, take back control for yourself.
