What does it mean to “consent?” It’s simply means to actively agree to give of yourself–not at your own expense or in a diminishing way. Basically, because no one call tell them otherwise, an Enneagram 8 must choose (consent) to relinquish control and to give it over to the Lord. To do so in stillness, Jim Baker says, is to quiet the need to initiate action (harmony) in our own strength or timing. It’s stillness that teaches us restraint in order to discern what appropriate engagement looks like.
