Analysis of channeling with a skeptical lean - covers Bashar:

❤️

Definitely. I have integrated and healed from much of it. And I am very proud of this. Sometimes echoes remain. But I am much better at processing my emotions, understanding my own and others, and letting go. Unprocessed emotions for me, were states taking hold, where the compulsion to act them out or follow them was irresistible / impossible. Processed emotions are genuinely feeling them, and not being overtaken in the same way. No need to act them out. I am comfortable in all ranges of feeling and emotion. As a result, the hypervigilant state I was previously locked in has abated. The forced attention to emotions and feelings of others is not there. However, I understand the mechanics and where I may play a role in contributing / affecting others (as opposed to always feeling responsible for the emotions of others). Now I enjoy learning about the "why" and meaning of others relationally. Always as a genuine curiosity - and to try to work out how best I can apply myself to assist in their growth.

My GOD. It's giving "blood boy" vampire Bryan Johnson Extract the blood after trapping for nourishment. *shudders*

I share a lot of crossover. I grew up in a volatile and traumatic environment. Accurately and quickly scanning, analysing and profiling behaviour for mood, temperament and affect was necessary as a matter of survival. I had to figure out if I was in danger very quickly (I raise this not to elicit compassion or sympathy, just as an explanatory mechanism). In addition, I had a lot of societal conditioning to place more emphasis on the wellbeing and emotional care for others due to being born female. It is the default expectation. But paying attention to feelings, vibe, harmony and others wellbeing was a draining process. Not natural to me. This effectively fooled me into thinking I was a stronger feeling type for a long time.

I see jumping between conceptual domains, generating analogies, alternative interpretations. Lots of hodge-podge combining of alternate ideas and holding space for concepts/thoughts without an immediate commitment. Carl also has a habit of distinguishing the model from the thing being modelled. Always taking a topic and opening the concepts out to a big tree of branches. I am no typologist, these are just the things he does by default I find it fun to rub brains with his flavour of Ne! @Carl-Richard

Ne user. My initial thoughts when interacting with you

Prune the fuck out of the shit. I actually apply this sort of thinking to my creative art pursuits now I think on it. I want to render the impression of something with the absolute BARE minimum amount of line, shade, colour to form the appearance of something. Sometimes when you look closely at my oil paintings they don't make sense visually and look totally incomplete - only to step back for the illusion to take hold. I'll work out every shortcut and trick to fool the eye and play of how the human visual system works to create and effect. One thing that used to catch me off guard about MBTI was that I was artistic and it didn't "fit" the INTJ type description - this was prior to really trying to understand the cognitive functions. IE below - the rendering of the pearl close up is literally completely insubstantial. Just a blob of titanium white and a vague outline that isn't even filled in (bare minimum) then you pull back and it is part of Vermeer's expert rendering and skill:

I am only happy when the build is going as planned. Solutions are scrambles that just need to work and meet compliance - fuck all other details. @LordFall How do you feel when you cannot make sense of something?

We need to crush his Ti with the universal, juggernaut Ni web 😈 Bury him in recursive questions - that'll do it. Meta on meta

If you enjoy the 4 letter typology stuff I think you would love learning about the cognitive functions behind the system

@eos_nyxia Maybe depending on what functions are currently being developed and levels of growth? Do you go by the cognitive functions or 4 letter label? In my experience there is a big difference - it was only after I read and fully understood the functions I was able to figure out my type (also @Joshe assisted there). The tests weren't very good. They could only tell me I was Ni dom.

I've only met one other INTJ in my real life (my Dad!). 2 INTP's - I really admire how thorough and diligent their analysis, logical clarity and frameworks are. 1 ENTP - my GOD I love the combative, argumentative prowess.

You just know this is the punk rock mad consciousness-scientist-explorer smoking under the fume hood ❤️ love it
