Enneagram and Enneaide
“Philosophy is written in this grand book --
I mean the universe --
Which stands continually open to our gaze.
But it cannot be understood
Unless one first learns to comprehend the language
And interpret the characters in which it is written.
It is written in the language of mathematics,
And its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures,
Without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
-- Galileo Galilei, Il Saggiatore (1623)

A fusion of the ancient Ennegram symbol with new findings

I read the following on the Enneagram symbol
- the Enneagram symbol maps the Universal energy flow
- it is a code for the combination of the law of three (male energy) and the law of octave ( the female energy)
- the Enneagram represents a path of the movement of the energy
- there is a impact of juxtaposing modes
- there is an interplay of opposing energy fields
- it’s a system of regeneration and growth
- there is a link with the personality
I discovered that the Enneagram fits perfectly into my IAD symbol and together they form a 9 point star which consists of 9 overlapping triangles. A triple triad emerges. So far I could find no detailed reason for the specific movement used in the Enneagram i.e. 142857 except for that it relates to the fraction 1/7 and 1/3 but no reason why this movement of this fraction and not the movement of any other fraction. The reason/s behind this is crucial to know for further analysis of these two combined symbols. I, on the other hand, can explain in detail how and why the IAD symbol got its movement (sequence) from. The movement of the IAD is 1647-2538 and then the inverse mirror thereof follows i.e. 3825-4716. The explanation will be revealed soon.
When I discovered that the Enneagram and the IAD fits like hand in glove I gave the combined symbols a new name i.e. the Enneaiade.
I would appreciate it if anyone could assist in (1) the reasons/ explanations for the Enneagram movement and (2) possible implications of the two symbols combined.
I have the feeling that it can possibly relate to any of the following (a) parallel worlds (b) perfect tone/sound/vibration/frequency (c) DNA unwinding (d) specific vibration necessary for ascension.
I personally do not think that the Enneaiade relates to any of the later personality theories (Gurjieff, Ichazo) but rather links with more ancient (Pythagoras and the like) theories. For some reason Pythagoras and the pyramids were always at the back of my mind when I was in the process of discovery.
On the other hand, maybe it has links with both.

What I also noticed is the relationship between the Pascal triangle and the Enneagram. The Enneagram sequence is 142857 and when you add the totals of each row across of the Pascal triangle it forms the sequence 124857. So the 2 & 4 are swapped. So it is as if both point to the same thing but seen from another angle.
Another thing about the Pascal triangle is that if you add the rows vertically then the 3rd row down is 13617444.. We here recognize the 6174 and reaching a kernel into 4. This sequence of 6174 reflects the inverse mirror of the IAD numbers namely 1647, 4716, 6174 itself and 7461. See 8x4 matrix below. There must be a link between the Enneagram, the Pascal Triangle and my IAD.
The IAD 8x4 matrix


The IAD

First movement 1647 (1 placed on top and 8 at bottom - folding circle in halve)

Second movement 2538

Two movements combined 16472538

Then follows the inverse mirror of the above two movements 1647-2538-3825-4716
Directions of movements indicated

Movements only in one direction

All movements shown plus counting from 1 to 8

Same sequence of IAD but placed on circle where numbers are placed as indicated. Thus folding the circle diagonally
All movements 1647-2538-3825-4716

Again the 1 on top and 8 at bottom circle. Now the Enneagram sequence 142857 are added

Now using the Ennegram circle (9 divisions) and added are the IAD. Now called the Enneaiade
The Enneaiade consists of the following combination of 9 triangles
396; 285; 174; 963; 852; 741; 639; 528; 417
Thus 3 groups of 3 triangles.
30 lines in total connected. They are:
2 lines connected to 9
3 lines connected to 8
3 lines connected to 1
3 lines connected to 7
3 lines connected to 2
4 lines connected to 6
4 lines connected to 3
4 lines connected to 5
4 lines connected to 4
A total of 30 lines

When the movement 16472538 of IAD is repeated but in a linear way. They also form beautiful windows when repeated.

The ENNEAIADE consists of 9 overlapping 60 degree triangles. Therefore 9 triads. A tripple triad.
