The Enneagram
PART ONE: THE FACE OF GOD
Hello and welcome. It's my supreme honor to be able to guide you into higher teachings.
In Zen they say "You can't repay a teacher in ten thousand lifetimes".

I will always have much love and gratitude for the teachers who initiated me and gave me the bandwidth to continue to initiate myself.
My name is Onami and I make tools for self initiates. I was born into a doomsday sex cult, and I almost started one accidentally in 2020, so I'm not big on what they call "community" nowadays. Now I prefer to teach as an individual, to individuals. People who want to do it themselves and don't need a group of people agreeing with them to know they're on the right path.
Self initiation is blaming no one else for your lack of progress.
It means you are your own teacher and coach. You are mentored by many, but when the time comes to set out on your own, you are not afraid. You hold yourself to an EXTREMELY high standard. What other people are doing is irrelevant to your mission.
My aim is to bring you to certain psychological vantage points where you can see the data behind and ahead of you, and begin testing and proving it to yourself. It's my intention to not only make sense of some of what you've experienced in the past, so you can use it as proof, but to also show you a clear path ahead into the future. If you feel like you've "seen it all" in the spiritual community, you probably have.
There are three levels of teachings.
Each one has their own language. When you reach the top of the exoteric, you have heard it all. Variations of how to manifest, why to manifest, basically. Initiating into the mesoteric is humbling, but not humiliating. You go from being the top of the class in the first level, to an absolute beginner in the second level. From the ground floor of something huge it seems like there's so much to know, and it can be daunting. I hope that by the end of this book you are aware of how erotic, how tantalizing it is to be faced with something so new and boundless. It's like the difference between Belle saying "This book, it's my favorite, I've read it a thousand times" and Belle walking into the Beast's library and saying "This is more books than I could ever read in my life!"
To study the Buddha is to study the self. To study the self is to lose the self. To lose the self is to be awakened by all things. - Dogen
You may lose quite a bit of the self here, only what isn't real about it (the personality). I promise you, it can be an ecstatic process if you choose to see it as such.
We have the opportunity this year to do four live teaching calls, where I show you how YOUR project fits on the enneagram. This is such a cool opportunity to see me crank out draft after draft of the enneagram, and you'll be able to clearly see why you haven't succeeded in the past, and do better this time. When you know better, you do better. This year the calls are Thursdays at 11EST, live on Zoom, Instagram, and Substack. May 21, May 28, June 4, and June 11.
I was initiated into this system, known as the Fourth Way, in 2019, although my first teacher (2013) was a Fourth Way teacher, and I didn't know at the time. It was like coming home again. The next years of study were hard, but I'm very dedicated to my spiritual practice, like you.
Before giving someone a spiritual system, you must give them a digestive system. - Idries Shah
This is your digestive system for higher work.
The enneagram is a very well hidden teaching, and traditionally it's only been taught in large, in person groups, and the fee is 10% of your annual income. Expensive, exclusive, and to me, outdated. I believe I have a destiny in unearthing these teachings and bringing them to the working class in an accessible way. Accessible price point, accessible language. That's who I am. That's what I stand for. That's what I believe in. As a result, I'm the only person on the market doing this right now. I invite you to do your research! Please note: this is NOT the Enneagram of Personality, or the 48 Laws of Power.
The Fourth Way is called this because there are usually three paths to enlightenment.
There's the way of the fakir, who sacrifices the physical.
The way of the monk, who sacrifices his emotions.
The path of the yogi, who attempts to overcome the mind.
Each of these sacrifices one of your centers of consciousness to reach the higher level.
The Fourth Way is called the way of the sly one, and it's a ruthless path. The price to get in is humility, genuine humility. Humility is accepting, completely, that there is so much more to learn. The Fourth Way offers a method of achieving enlightenment without sacrificing one of your centers of consciousness. You only have four, the instinctive, moving, emotional, and intellectual. To be without one is to be down a limb.
You've tried everything else. You've tried the three paths. You've tried substances, people, purification methods. None of them worked. None of them gave you that taste, that taste of remembering. So NOW you come to this teaching. NOW you're ready for it. NOW you're humble.
A mask worn when the face has grown becomes a wall that rubs and cuts. - Rumi
Few can handle this path. But if you're here reading this now, it's because you've developed something that has drawn this to you. This is known as magnetic center.
There are three influences in life.
A influences are all the motivators an unconscious person will have. Money, success, fame, and for the less ambitious, the tools required
A influences are all the motivators an unconscious person will have. Money, success, fame, and for the less ambitious, the tools required to "get through the day". There's nothing special about A influences, they represent the exoteric, or outermost teachings.
If a person is asking conscious questions during his life they will develop something called magnetic center that attracts B influences to them. Questions like "is this it?" "Is there more?" "Why am I here?" crystallize into a literal magnet in your center.
Consciousness is like one bottle of liquor in a full bar. If we split the bottle evenly, no one's going to be drunk. But if the majority of the bar says "no thanks" to the liquor conscious work, the people who are here to get totally, utterly twatted on consciousness will be able to. Immediately stop trying to convert people. The less they want, the more you get. Not everyone incarnated to awaken this round, and nothing is easier to bear than the suffering of others.
B influences are the higher teachings, the initiating teachings. These teachings erase the mandatory morals you were conditioned with, and teach you about honor. B influences are mesoteric teachings. They are actually sent backwards in time to you by C influences.
C influences are your direct contact with God. The esoteric teachings that are your right.
see we’re The Enneagram is divided into three parts. The Circle, which represents Time and Space. The Triangle, which represents the three forces that exist in every single creation from the microcosm to the macrocosm. And finally, the Line of Supervision, which represents the Law of Seven, which is also known as the Law of Octaves.
When you understand each of these tools you have a formula for going backwards and forwards in time, as well as an objective to-do list for completing any task.
The intention of this series is to warm you up to the Enneagram, which is an obscure esoteric tool that lets you know how everything on Earth is created. This is absolutely not the Enneagram of Personality.
What appeals to me about it is that you can get the results of hardcore magic, or hardcore miracles, without needing to pray to any specific deity or do any extraneous rituals. If the potions and Gods don't really appeal to you, you can still get results. Verifiable, guaranteed results. Magic does not discriminate.
You do the steps, you get the results. If you cut the activities, the unnecessary pageantries, you are left with just the actions. It is the most efficient way to accomplish any task, and any task can be accomplished, objectively, using the Enneagram.
Since it is the key to the Universe, it can definitely work on your little world. If you wanted to make a million bucks (in time) this would get you there. If you wanted to smash an income plateau, become a new version of yourself, or buy a new home, there would be a ten step path to it.
No unreasonable goals, just unreasonable timelines.
Over the next three episodes I will elucidate you to the Law of Time, the Law of Three, and the Law of Seven. Each one unpacks quite deeply so grab a pen and a paper, subscribe if you haven’t, and let me initiate you.
We are also teaching live demonstrations on Thursday at 11EST right here .
