… yeah that is somewhat helpful on the 6 front. I have a feeling a brother-in-law of mine might be a 6 actually… w/ 9s it’s different for me because I actually have a couple of close family members who are definitely nines and I have close relations with them.
Yeah the ‘Yudelove translation’ of elements has just about been done to death on here by now I think. I don’t what it was turned him bonky but the last I heard of him on here he had been arrested for threatening a stripper with a sword. So it doesn’t sound like he was too healthy. But I don’t know any more than that & I don’t want to muckrake. I just thought he had another book on enneagram connecting to taoism somehow but perhaps I’m wrong. j
August 23, 2007 at 12:58 pm #23878NnonnthParticipant… I heard about the genocide thing which is becoming quietly controversial isn’t it. The US and UK don’t officially recognize it as genocide or something, but bizarrely Wales does? That’s whacked! And Hatami is sort of making a play about it, visiting the memorial?
I wanted to ask actually if there is bellydancing in Armenia. I’m presuming being that close to Turkey there must be something like that. There’s a series of excellent performance DVDs about tribal bellydance being made in NY by people who all have Armenian names.

August 23, 2007 at 1:15 pm #23880StevenModeratorI was once in a relationship with someone who was a 6–and a 1–if you
can imagine that (extreme sensitivity, imagined enemies + the moral
superiority of a 1). Needless to say, I wasn’t able to handle this.S
August 23, 2007 at 1:30 pm #23882StevenModerator>>>Steven I don’t get 1 from you – the perfectionism
>>>you talk about is also quite a 5 characteristic.

>>>The thing about 1s is that they see things from a
>>>social perspective – they are the ‘moral’ ones –
>>>you know the vegetarians that think everyone else
>>>has to be vegetarian?.You’re probably right. I feel a stronger 5 influence.
Also, as time goes on, peoples personalities change.
I think I used to have a stronger 1 influence in the past.
However, after having a tumultuous relationship with
a 6-1 combination in the past, the 1 attitude made
me sick and mirrored certain things in myself which
made me recoil in the opposite direction. This, in
combination with Healing Tao work, has caused me
to swap out some of my 1 characteristics with those of 9.But predominantly I’m a 5.
Cheers,

So since Turkey wont admit it, it’s not quite ‘internationally’ recognised (even with overwhelming evidence) – then again even if it’s not openly recognised most of the countries know it, there is a rumour that Turkey will only be allowed to join the EU if they admit to it.
Armenia is one of those countries that has seen a bit of everything (from Assyrians to Communists) so there are always a few cultural leftovers, and belly dancing is one of them (although not that hugely popular) – it’s the first christian country (surronded by muslim ones), so it tends to resist the muslim culture – but ofcourse you can see it’s there to an extent.
August 23, 2007 at 4:48 pm #23888NnonnthParticipantAugust 23, 2007 at 8:08 pm #23890StevenModeratorThat was one of the most taxing, emotionally draining, and
heartbreaking experiences in my adult life actually.
I could write volumes on the psychological damage inflicted.
I still suffer from internal scars from that one to this day!The damage from that relationship and the underlying colon
issue are my two unending wells of internal pain . . .Of course, on the positive, this provides an opportunity
for growth that may not have been possible otherwise.S
August 23, 2007 at 8:13 pm #23892StevenModeratorThat’s terrible.
I’m sorry about your family.
My sympathies . . .Steven

Seriously mate don't be down on 6s just because you got a bad one, I mean a healthy person and great relationship happens with all the 'numbers'… but whoah I can only say I feel your cry of pain there. j
August 23, 2007 at 11:35 pm #23896StevenModeratorAs to who I am, what I am, and the bigger questions
of purpose, I feel a constant tug in two different
directions. Sometimes I feel lost . . .Spending some time looking within and connecting
with certain things has made me slightly more
melancholy as of late. Sorry about that. I’ll
try not to allow myself to get sucked off on these
tangents. I’m *usually* not like this; I don’t
know what the problem is. Greeehhh.Best,
Steven -
