Atlas type 2 enneagram3/28/2024 ![]() Towards the end of the song, the One accepts that they cannot bear that responsibility on their shoulders and that really, they, and everything in the world is perfect in its imperfection. In the song, O’Neal shows how the Enneagram One works so hard to earn and be worthy of the grace they want and desire in the world. Rather, they see the potential to be so and feel they must try to pursue it. This song communicates an often-misunderstood truth about Ones that they do not need everything to be perfect, always. O’Neal introduces the Enneagram One song as a conversation between the One and their extremely harsh self-critic. O’Neal also imparts a message for each Enneagram Type in their song (shown in italics below).

O’Neal wanted to compose these songs to reflect each Enneagram type’s journey to show the ‘story of redemption’ as each Type moves from fixations and current troubles to see their own staggering beauty and brilliance. O’Neal refers to the Enneagram as a “wonderful tool for empathy, a tool for excavating a person’s essence”, and has used the Enneagram extensively in his own journey of personal growth. Using a compassionate and authentic process Ryan O’Neal, the musician behind Sleeping at Last, has composed a song for each Enneagram type, crafting a compassionate and personal message for his audience.
