The Real Enneagram, a Podcast by the Institute for Conscious Being Dr. Joseph Howell

This week, Nanette and Dr. Joe conclude our series on Becoming Conscious: The Enneagram’s Forgotten Passageway with a discussion on Chapter 18, "The Flowering of Consciousness."  In this season finale, we explore consciousness and its unfolding in the present moment.   We also look into how consciousness can bloom at different times, and the various levels through which it progresses.   Dr. Joe closes the season with a hopeful prayer.

Thank you for listening to our series on Becoming Conscious!
We're going to take a short break, then later this spring we'll return with a new season of weekly episodes in which we dive deeply into the holy ideas and virtues of each Enneagram type, plus a few special episodes, and some wonderful guests.
In the meantime, please check out our extensive backlog of episodes, which include over four years of content!
