The Enneagram and the Triune Brain: another Vision of the Centres & Types

Introduction

Until very recently, scientists have not focused their attention in the theme of human transformation. However, the feeling of impotence against the growing difficulties that mankind is going through caused by all forms of violence, sickness, famine and the eventual depletion of the earth’s natural resources is prompting scientists to consider different perspectives of research.

One of this new perspectives is to look at man as the active cause of the world’s development instead of treating him as the static objet of studies, immersed in determinism just as any other living organism, that needs to be investigated to the last perceptible detail.

As the active source of action in all possible contexts, personal and environmental, the human being is looked upon as the entity responsible of all events. Once this is assumed there is no other alternative but to accept the need on a different man capable of generating different actions.

From a scientific perspective, the transformation of the human being occurs from the functional balance of the brain in which the structures of the origins of behaviour are based. Neurology, which studies the brain, uses specialised techniques that enable an astoundingly precise knowledge of the physical and biochemical nature of brain structures as well as to the slightest details of its functions and its effects on behaviour.

In order to achieve a change of the world a transformation of the human being is required. In a sense Science is opening a new path in the search for the New Man. This path often takes the direction that others have taken since the earliest times but with its own perspective and language.

Science is also trying to find an answer to the eternal question . Who am I?

Science is also interested in the New Man.
