It is easy enough to dive into personality tests like the Enneagram, or the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator and then emerge believing that your “type,” or those “four letters” define who you are. This is NOT true. Assessments like these do not tell you who you are. They reveal who you had to become to survive your life. Your True Self is actually buried underneath all those layers of predictable patterns of thinking and behaving known as your personality. At Plumline, when we talk about Soul Work, this is the work we are referring to—a return to who God made you to be in your core essence.
The soul system is the place where your true identity lives. Unlike the Heart part of you which is akin to a toddler (Very needy, very valuable, and in need of nurture) the Soul part of you is wild, and vast. It is more like a National Park, or an ocean. There is so much inside of it waiting to be discovered, but it can be a dangerous task to go and seek it out. And it is worth it.
The Soul is where your visions and dreams are born, and where your purpose and calling come alive. When you are disconnected from your Soul, you are pigeon-holed to live a limited life held back by the barriers of your personality. When this happens, you end up serving someone else’s dream rather than realizing your own.
Our “Discovering True You” program is a weekly experience consisting of 12 sessions that guides you through the process of recovering your true self. The core of this process is based on the Jungian archetypes as seen in the book King Warrior Magician Lover by Robert Moore, and Douglas Gillette. In our “Discovering True You” program, you will do the work of transcending your personality by discovering and learning to live as your True Self.
