Not something one can just try out one night and expect to have a result. Generally speaking the connection to the Higher Self is one that grows slowly during a lifetime.

That is, the knowledge is in us, but we're not conscious of it yet - or not enough. I think the main thing is that we really don’t know until we fully realize it.

I do not dispute the fact that we DO know..just the fact that we do not act accordingly..Lose the mind then we know...include the mind and we lose touch with the known.. The "higher self" , "all that is","god" cannot be described in words.. It's like describing an orgasm to a virgin...You can not! We try to fit our concept of these terms into our experiences..and forget that all we have to do is experience it! By defining it ..it's no longer the truth..and truth lives beyond mind ..ONLY! ..if we KNOW..how come we do not act accordingly..?

I suppose the structure of the enneagram used by Sufis and Gurdjieff indicates ideas, but regular ones' structures also indicate. One ennead personality system may have a type considered best--philosophical/mystic/esoteric--usually described something like self-reliant, self-knowing, or self-realizing (I do not like the word 'self' without certain other suffixes.) If such a type is actually considered best (and maybe a balance of the rest) it is at an octagram's centre. If that type is not self-realizing then that may be a quality developed (represented at enneagrams' centres) after all others.
