CSJ TYPE GRID SERIES

The Heart & the Body Temples are in COGNITIVE REFLECTION (Ego/Subconscious) If your Ego is in the Body Temple, your Subconscious will be in the Heart Temple.

The Soul & the Mind Temples are in COGNITIVE REFLECTION (Though reflection is usually with Superego, with the Temples, reflection is between Ego & Subconscious Temples) If your Ego is in the Soul Temple, your Subconscious will be in the Mind Temple.

The Mind & Body Temples are in COGNITIVE ORBIT (Ego/Shadow) If your Ego is in the Mind Temple, your Shadow will be in the Body Temple.

The Soul & Heart Temples are in COGNITIVE ORBIT (Ego/Shadow) If your Ego is in the Heart Temple, your Shadow will be Soul Temple.

But if you can remember the following rules, you can find how the Temples influence your mind: Which Temple is influencing which side of the mind depends on what your starting point is. Likewise, the Shadow will be influenced by the Heart Temple, and the Subconscious by the Mind Temple. But their ESTP Superego, influenced by the Body Temple, will be the Body Temple aspect of an ENFP’s psyche. For an ENFP, they are a member of the Soul Temple, which means that their Ego (their ENFP Ego) is an expression of the Soul Temple.

E ven in the Soul Temple, like in Origin Pyramid for the ENFP/ISTJ dyad, the influence of the other Temples is still present.Īnd if you recall from the article that Chris Taylor and I wrote when he introduced us to the Temples, the Four Sides of the Mind are subjected to Temple influence as well. The Temple Wheels are just a more specific manifestation of the Temples. Though the above model differs slightly from the Wheels, it follows the same rules. The foundation of the Origin Wheels is the Temples. The colors have meaning as well - which we’ll get to momentarily.īefore we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s lay some groundwork for the principles that created these pyramids. On the right of every pyramid is the Aspirational Pole of that Dyad.On the left of every pyramid is the Shadow Pole of that Dyad.On the bottom of every pyramid is the Deadly Sin of that Dyad.On the top of every pyramid is the Living Virtue of that Dyad.

In the middle of every pyramid is the Cognitive Origin of that Dyad.

What are the pieces that compose these pyramids? If it does make sense and you’re familiar with the model, you know that this Temple Wheel belongs to the ENFP/ISTJ Dyad - the Soul Temple Philosophers.Īll eight pyramids are constructed similarly using the same parts. If this doesn’t make sense, we’re about to get things clearer. Here is a finished prototype of one Temple wheel (there are eight). What are these “Wheel” or “Pyramid” things? Some of these layers are still being excavated as we speak. While it would be easy to classify Temples as a 2 nd half to 4 sides dynamics, it’s worth noting that both models are connected at fundamental layers. If you are unfamiliar with the Temples, this article will give you an introduction. They a re the n ext piece of the “Temples,” which began with Chris Taylor applying a thematic approach to the Four Sides of the Mind as presented by Chase. The pu rpose of this article is to describe the mechanics that sit underneath these models - which are deeply inspired by Jung’s work - and provide visual guideposts to communicate an otherwise deeply complex system.Ĭo gnitive Origins are the most recent - and arguably one of the most important - realizations we’ve had.

These bigger structures are called “Temple Wheels” or “Origin Pyramids.” We will be using these terms interchangeably because these are both pyramids and wheels. The Cognitive Origins are one piece of the bigger structures we will be talking about today.

If you’ve been following the Deadly Sins Series ( S7p2) or the last several episodes of Season 18, you are already somewhat familiar with Cognitive Origins. There are eight origins split between the 16 types. Each Type, along with its Subconscious, Dyad pair, shares the same Cognitive Origin. This component of the Octagram are called “Cognitive Origins.” Our own Cognitive Origin is what we are seeking most in life. Where we are headed is determined by what we are seeking.įo r each of the types, we have distilled this singular drive into models that will become vital pieces of the Octagram - our own version of the Enneagram. This hole, while often the cause of our pain, discomfort, and disconnectedness from others, is also the source of our motivation and orientation. At the root of every type is a singular drive to attain something that fills up the hole within us.
