Type 5 The Master Mind

Exploring the Enneagram through Art (continued)

Fives are the investigators, thinkers, experts and innovators. They live by the power of knowledge and their basic desire is to be capable and competent. This they believe, lies in mastering everything in their lives by obtaining as much information as they can lay their eyes on. They don’t need social validation and are often withdrawn and emotionally stingy.

Their essential nature however, is contemplatively gifted, They connect with this essence by daring to get out of their heads and use their bodies, get their hands dirty. They learn that wisdom is a deep knowledge that comes only through real life experience and they reach clarity and a lived wisdom as opposed to the learned knowledge they believed to be their end-all.

A head with the surface scored by symbols of knowledge and schemes depicts the Five’s quest for knowledge. A full figure emerges from the head and reaches for the earth to connect with his vitality and physicality.

Materials used: Ceramic clay, Pondorosa Pine, iron rods and bolts. Size: 58cm high x 35cm wide x 27cm deep

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
