Our Origins: A Journey Through Time
Ennara is not just an app; it's the modern evolution of a timeless wisdom system. Our story is deeply intertwined with the rich history of the Enneagram, a profound tool for self-understanding that has journeyed through centuries and civilizations.
The Ancient Roots of the Symbol
The Enneagram's story begins in antiquity. The nine-pointed symbol, a geometric marvel, has roots that can be traced back to the Enneads of ancient Egyptian wisdom. It was the Greek philosopher Pythagoras who saw the symbol as a representation of cosmic harmony and universal laws. Over centuries, its path was shaped by diverse spiritual traditions. The mystical Sufis in Luxor, Egypt, used it as a guide for inner work, and the Christian desert monk Evagrius Ponticus integrated its concepts into a map for spiritual transformation and the identification of core human temptations.
The 20th Century Revival
For centuries, this knowledge was passed down in esoteric circles. It was reintroduced to the modern world in the 20th century by the spiritual teacher George Gurdjieff. Later, Oscar Ichazo and psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo expanded upon this foundation, brilliantly integrating modern psychology with the ancient symbol. They developed the system of nine personality types that forms the basis of the modern Enneagram. Surprisingly, its power was even recognized by intelligence communities; the CIA reportedly employed it as a tool for understanding the motivations of world leaders.
The Birth of Ennara: A New Approach
The next chapter of this story begins with a personal connection. Hozifa Gad, a student of this deep knowledge, introduced the Enneagram to Mohamed Helal, the co-founder of Ennara. Fascinated by its accuracy and depth, Helal dedicated himself to mastering the system. Through his deep understanding, he developed an innovative and novel method that streamlined the discovery process, allowing users to find their Enneagram type with incredible accuracy in under five minutes.
Helal's expertise grew to a point where he could identify Enneagram types instinctively, not just in individuals but also in historical and modern figures. He saw how the system could even be applied to understand the dominant Enneagram type driving entire countries and cultures, revealing the hidden patterns that shape our world.
