Intuition - The Core Quality of Enneagram Point 5

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore talk about the core quality of the Enneagram Point Five– intuition– and the connecting points at Eight and Seven. They discuss how intuition, the inner knowing without thinking or conscious intentional processing, plays into the strategy of Striving to Feel Detached.

“I think it’s especially, there’s often a mistaking of observations in intuition. Just hearing all the time like trust your gut, trust your intuition. It doesn’t mean you're right, but it does mean that there’s a new data point that you need to consider, and learning how to recognize that data point and then how to analyze that data point is important.” -Creek [18:31]

“My point is that, and I think what María José’s point is, is that we can know all the facts about something, but until we do it, until we live it, until we experience it, it’s like trying to take advice from somebody about swimming who’s never been in a pool.” -Mario [38:18]

“It’s more about more than predicting. It’s understanding, and having the skills or the competencies to respond to it.” -María José [33:18]
