"From Fixation to Freedom: The Enneagram of Liberation" is a book written by Eli Jaxon-Bear that offers a unique approach to personal growth and spiritual development. In the book, Jaxon-Bear combines his background in Buddhism with the Sufi concept of essence to provide a fresh perspective on the Enneagram, a model of the human psyche.

The book uses the nine fixated structures of the ego, as outlined in the Enneagram, to help readers identify their limiting beliefs and patterns of behavior. By becoming aware of these fixations, individuals can begin to let go of their attachments and discover their true nature.

"From Fixation to Freedom" provides practical guidance and insights for those seeking self-realization and inner freedom. Through personal anecdotes, case studies, and practical exercises, Jaxon-Bear invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

"And, as many scriptures in the past have revealed, words end where truth begins"

"Words cannot convey it"

- Buddha

Truth cannot be captured in words, nor found through seeking. The search ends when you realize what you seek has always been present—beneath the layers of self, in the stillness of being, and in the essence of all life. What you are looking for is not separate from what you are.

Stop. Look. See. You are it.

All there is, is this . . .

the one appearing as two
nothing appearing as everything
the absolute appearing as the relative
emptiness appearing as fullness
the uncaused appearing as the caused
unicity appearing as separation
subject appearing as object
the singular appearing as plurality
the impersonal appearing as the personal
the unknown appearing as the known

It is silence sounding and stillness moving,
and these words appearing as pointers to the wordless

. . . and yet nothing is happening

— Tony Parsons

Let what comes, come.
Let what goes, go.
Find what is always here.

— Gangaji
