Episode 2: Widening your focus (16 min.)
Thomson describes the Enneagram as a focus of attention that is too narrow. He says, "Every Enneagram style has certain problems and if those problems are dealt with they can increase your spirituality and they can help make you closer to others and to God."

Episode 3: The Enneagram and Catholic theology (13 min.)
The Enneagram fits into traditional Catholic theology, Thomson tells Fox. Used properly, he said, the Enneagram offers "a wonderful explanation and partial cure for sin."

Parables and the Enneagram
About the Book
Our reactions to events are often metaphorical, conforming to pre-set "scripts" that help us to filter reality and maintain our Dialy world. Parables and the Enneagram shows that these scripts are necessary for us, inducing a kind of waking trance state that enables us to see ourselves and reality in a particular way. Through the use of therapeutic metaphors, or parables, this book is designed to help the reader expand the limits of his or her personal scripts into other realms.
