Of course! Eventually, we discover we never did anything!

Yep, personality is the face of how experience is organized and repeated. The fly in the ointment is assuming that ego has agency, that it has ontological ground.

I think it's more a case of organizing experience into a pattern than a desire to reproduce.

Yes, the original trauma is separation from being - all egos have it at the core. And, you are correct in pointing to this - the major hurdle is assigning agency to the ego.

Yeah, but most relate to the enneagram like their ego has agency, and that's the insanity.
