To those on the spiritual path, the inspiration of Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson on the stages of transformation offers encouragement.
I wish I could say that I am the author of the brilliance that follows but instead offer thanks and acknowledgement to Riso and Hudson, The Wisdom of the Enneagram. I will simply add: To those who have just started on the path of transformation, the following is a road map. To those who have been traveling the path for some time, the following offers encouragement. To those already transformed, I am certain you are smiling with delight, yet hoping that the rest of us would hurry-up and join you. And so, enjoy Riso and Hudson’s inspiring words…
“If we were to really observe ourselves, we would become aware of our tensions and habits.
If we were to become aware of our tensions and habits, we would let go and relax.
If we were to let go and relax, we would be aware of sensations.
If we were to be aware of sensations, we would receive impressions.
If we were to receive impressions, we would awaken to the moment.
If we were to awaken to the moment, we would experience reality.
If we were to experience reality, we would see that we are not our personality.
If we were to see that we are not our personality, we would remember ourselves.
If we were to remember ourselves, we would let go of our fear and attachments.
If we were to let go of our fear and attachments, we would be touched by God.
If we were touched by God, we would seek union with God.
If we were to seek union with God, we would will what God wills.
If we were to will what God wills, we would be transformed.
If we were transformed, the world would be transformed.
If the world were transformed, all would return to God.”
