Design Metaphysics: The Enneagram


Composed of three triads the Ennead, or the nine-sided polygon, has been interpreted as being three times more sacred than all other configurations with each triad representing perfection, balance, and order. The highest level of attainment or possibility is where nine becomes the final number, the final form of consciousness in a progressive list of achievement and awareness, i.e. the nth degree.

The word ennead, or the nine (Greek) references an assembly of nine deities and in some early polytheistic religions as being symbolic of a great religious power. A natural number used in the grading of the purity of precious metals, in addition to representing the Emperors of China and various personality types, nine according to Ouspensky is a symbol meant to represent “ … any natural or whole phenomenon, cosmos, process in life or any other piece of knowledge.”


Three times three is an expression of perfection where the power of the “Holy Spirit” completes the divine will, i.e. the desire that emerged from the unknown in order to experience self through the constraints of a designed realm of consciousness. The final simple number and shape to symbolize the manifestation of mind, emotion, spirit and matter in quest of fulfillment and completeness.

The ennead is a systemic expression of harmony as conveyed within a perfected imagination and similarly within the nine choruses of Angels: the Seraphes, Cherubs, Thrones, Dominations, Principlaities, Powers, Virtues, Archangels and ordinary angels. Numerically the “magic square” is made of the first nine numbers that add to 15 in any direction.

The number nine signifies a pivotal point of periodic transition from the completion of one level of consciousness and the beginning of the next. Consciousness and the field in which it has it being, is afforded the opportunity to repeat circumstances, i.e. experiences, or break the cycle and follow a different path. Consciousness is sensitive to the patterns, designs and designations of the field at-large and is always in resonance with a greater field in which it has its being. Options are plenty with micro differences in significance and direction available when consciousness is placed into context.


Like the Muses of ancient Greece, daughters of memory and sources of the imagination, the number nine traditionally described the design process as a cosmic matrix that linked both micro and macro levels of consciousness within the constraints of cyclic behavior.

Design's use of the symbol is the tool used in the creation of relationships between the meaning and purpose of the creator (intention) and what has been made manifest (symbolized). All cognition, reason and emotions are expressed through design, as sacred symbols give form to the energies they represent. Design creates the metaphors that can either unite or destroy life by bringing into manifestation energies that are both visible and invisible.


Nine is the final number and therefore sets the limits where whatever can be attained has been completed and fulfilled. Nine signifies that consciousness has reached a particular threshold, a unity and culmination where the “universe consciously recognizes itself” and is about to be born into a yet new environment/field filled with its own unique situations and potentialities.

"The number 9 is written with a circle and a line, the 0 and the 1. 0 is no-thing that represents everything. 1 is action and movement. 1s and 0s are the basic elements of computer programming, the two small commands that make our technological world possible; all of technology is built on 1s and 0s. We must have congruence, represented by the completeness of the 0 before we can take the 1's invitation to action. Sometimes we are tempted to use the 1, action, as a stick to beat the 0 into submission but that doesn't do us any good ..."

Conscious Connection


Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

Consciousness is connected to awareness through symbolic expression. Consciousness has a design of its own expressed in patterns of energy in motion controlled and captured by attraction, i.e. vibrations and patterns of energy to which they resonate. 

Consciousness engages in itself by means of this awareness solely in order to define and characterize its being (meaning and purpose) within a certain dimensional context. Similarly, this particular “awareness” also triggers into manifestation the  necessary signs, and symbols to support its own particular perception and/or observation of reality.

All characterizations of consciousness are determined within the symbolic context of the universe. Consciousness is constantly being remodeled and altered in response to the context in which exists, i.e. has being. The meaning and purpose of any design is intimately entangled within the symbolic field and fabric of its own consciousness. Consciousness is embedded with the desire and drive for meaning and purpose, all to be realized by means of experience and quest for unity.

Consciousness seeks out “situations” and circumstances that support its survival and expression in reference to its own particular POV, i.e. design. Thousands of relationships and potential associations are considered, each in search of resonance. These relationships link together into symbolic "packages" we perceive and might best describe as experience.

Negative experiences are similarly retained creating situations that encourage interruption, inconsistency and/or incongruity. These events are encoded in every design. They appear irregular and negative due to the interpretative process, i.e. the symbolic language and context of observation. 

Every design is unique, assembling and disassembling into patterns and relationships that in turn, create a variety of options in which to resonate and respond, i.e. corresponding entanglement.

Certain vibrations complement each other creating a context of recognition, i.e. relative patterns of energy in motion created for the purpose of observation and response. Often disruptive, these situations seem to compel the observer towards an unrelenting drive towards balance and harmony.

Balance and harmony are compelling, challenging and appreciated when revealed as the outcome of a well designed consciousness.

Past experiences expose a wide array of relationships, i.e. contexts, always to be considered, observed and reflected upon. 

Consciousness adapts and adjusts to every situation and circumstance by means of awareness. Awareness describes the ability to modify, alter, redesign, remodel, reshape, revamp reconstruct, reorganize, tailor, amend, refine and improve within constraints and parameters. 

Design lights the spark of awareness by making every event and experience "real". Design consciousness fulfills this challenge through the use of signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. Together they create the connections between consciousness, awareness and design, i.e. form and formlessness.

Because change is forever we heavily rely upon past experience to help determine the most appropriate response to a current situation. These choices are the result of a series of iterations that may or may not, correspond to the circumstances at hand. Experience however, allows design and consciousness to refine its own awareness by means of iteration. 
iteration the repetition of a process or procedure to be applied as result of a previous application, typically as a means of obtaining successively closer approximations to the solution of a problem (situation) my parenthesis.

Consciousness encodes all symbols by virtue of experience. Signs and symbols can be randomly assembled, disassembled and uniquely reconfigured for a variety of purposes. Designs can be refined and shaped to accommodate every circumstance. Consciousness by means of awareness, chooses what it believes to be most appropriate, interpretation and response based upon past experiences.

Experience contributes to the expansion of consciousness by means of design, thereby bringing into relative "matter" a meaning and a purpose fundamental to every situation.
