this helped clarify things i still didn't understand from the first post. i feel like i came out of this with a clearer picture of how having a center works by understanding in more detail how it malfunctions.
i have a more concrete sense of them now. i needed the detailed examples of failure modes to make sense of what each of the centers means for different people, and also importantly what it means for me given my enneagram type. that helped to make it click, seeing how i show up in the theory, and then could more easily extrapolate to understand the whole thing from there.

Great! Mind sharing what clarified for you about the Centers? I'd love to know what wasn't clear before.
