Without Jungs work, my subjective experience would be rather unbased. He helped me trust my intuition and have patience in misunderstandings with others. So grateful for him.
@@janikbuehler I've always been a curious person, with many questions about life left unanswered. With this curiosity I did stumble over Jung early 2018, it was revelatory. Reading Jung can be daunting and impenetrable however, so channels like these can be good starters. Jordan Petersons various lectures on Jung are also quite accessible. Important to mention though, that no book can replace life, as it is naturally the best teacher. If you are young, you will naturally gain enough experience through your struggles to eventually sort yourself out. Remember that for men, the brain keeps developing until the age of 25. I hope with time that you find what a gift of magic your personality can be for the world. Best of luck🙏
I have this etched into a little iron plaque I bought at a monastery outside my house. It is a symbolic reminder to me to dream when I pass through the doors into my house.
INFJ. Amazing intuitive understanding, but always feel like an outsider in everyday society. Am not too bad at faking being normal and interested in day to day reality most of the time in order to function. I would happily be a hermit in the wilderness. Seems like a blessing and a curse, to be honest. The ability to see but not convey. I seem to be able to help others with it, but it translates to a level of dysfunction to my own ambitions.
I can truly identify with what you've expressed, so I am going to share about myself, so you know what type of man I am , then I am going to attempt to empathize with you and how you feel. I am an introvert with high levels of empathy. I was raised closely by my empathetic mother with powerful intuition who was a victim of horrendous abuse from her father. So, she raised a man who is empathetic towards others and unafraid to show deep emotion or care. I am a masculine (This was a concerted effort by myself because my mother was not equipped to bring out my masculinity so I used personal heroes to emulate to forge a masculine identity), very tall, athletic man but my inner-self is a playful loving child. I imagine I am an INFJ seeing that I received it at the end of many personality tests. I am shrewd and often simply understand people even those who I despise in ways where I have literally helped FORM peoples personalities and sense of self (typically co-workers and family because those are the people I am most interacting with) in their adulthood by simply saying things like "Hey you are good at this" or "Hey this or that is impressive about you, keep it up", then months go by and they've embraced these things about themselves and walk in a new found upspoken confidence. I am tall and built well so my fellow males kind of gravitate toward me or are jealous of me, not that I am all that at all, it's just the fact of the matter. When you are naturally picked as ideal by other men, what you do and say carries weight regardless of hierarchal status. Height and perceived physical strength make even men who make more money and have a higher title than you, emulate you. I am also quite articulate due to my father being a stickler for articulation, believing it would help me in my adulthood, he was 100 percent right and though he was not in my life very often, I benefited from it greatly. I say all this to say and reassure you that there is NOTHING wrong with you, no one is truly "normal". All "normal" is, is an ideal set in place to allow all of us to cooperate and be unified as a society, we all either suppress or water down our true selves for the most part and meet in this idealistic "middle", it is unspoken but obvious to everyone. So if you feel "dysfunctional" then you feel like practically everyone else but maybe for you it is MUCH harder to cope with because you in particular ARE an amazing being, with great intuition. I would suggest building up your ability to "convey". Trust me, I understand what you are saying , its like you clearly see how yourself, others and the world are getting things wrong or you see past the superficiality of arguments, events, thoughts, ideals and beliefs but its very hard to explain to someone in a reasonable amount of time what you see. It is frustrating watching people behave foolishly and be bolstered by the masses who also act in that way but in all honesty most people when spoken to individually are open for the deep penetrating realizations that you most likely carry around all the time. My suggestion to help you convey and alleviate some possible stress, is to practice writing. If you already write well, continue to hone that skill until its as sharp as a blade. Writing helps clear your thoughts, and helps you convey your deepest ideas and thoughts in a way that is truly satisfying. Once you've honed this skill to the point of true razor sharpness you can be amazed at how easily your intuitive mind can create amazing things. These writings may take form in serious essays or even abstract poetry but what needs to be conveyed will be conveyed. We need MORE truly intuitive people who keep to themselves, like you, to get their ideas out because the extroverted shallow mindedness that permeates throughout the worlds collective thinking is useless at this point and only makes for a shallow foolish society.
I took the Meyers-Briggs personality types test at the CG Jung Instiute in Zurich back in 1995, under the guidance of an American psychiatrist colleague and friend of mine. She informed me that I am an introverted intuitive and that this type is indeed rare. This was a revelation to me, and it helps me some 30 years later to simply distance myself from the fully extroverted soundbyte individuals I come across who seem to constantly support their own personal narrative with what from my standpoint seems like an over-abundance of self confidence. I've experienced this time and again, and now in my 60s, I have the luxury of sitting back and having a good laugh to myself. Oh, the dreams of the introverted intuitive are like mini Iliads and Odysseys. I only reveal to very good friends what goes on in my dreams.
Lovely words. Thank you for taking the time to write your experiences. It is very encouraging to hear wise words from an experienced intuitive introvert.
He's spot on about Introverted Intuitives facing challenges, especially early in life. I've tested as INTJ (really a perceiver) for over 35 years (now 55), but there are subtle shifts that happen with time. The biggest is gaining real-world experience to connect your intuitions to. For me, it was also about maturing my feeling function. If you try to navigate purely with extroverted thinking (TJ) and underdeveloped feeling, you'll be constantly confused by people's reactions. You'll misinterpret their motivations and emotions, making your life unnecessarily difficult. I would be midway between the aesthetic and the morally oriented intuitive which in the world aligns me with certain paths such the Buddhist or Taoist paths, though I have to say I only find the Daoists to be interesting while the Buddhists come closer to my heart. I have found later in life that writing fiction seems to be an acceptable medium for others to ingest ideas that in normal conversation might have them running away. There is an entire new skill set required in order to take take a very limit message medium such as language and use it to convey ideas and concepts that are rarely written about and so therefore all the words may not exist in a single language to properly convey those ideas. To wit, showing it in characters' lives seems to work. One is rarely conveying an idea directly, it's more showing it as a driver or an effect on the characters. This is probably why so many Introverted Intuitives are artists, it gives them a medium with which to communicate.
Who here is a vivid dreamer, dissecting the dream's tale and finding clues to things that has happened, insights into current events, and little breadcrumbs of the future?
@@FreedomUnveiled Your words articulate so well... I hoped you would find the song beautiful, and an answer to your question? You said it so well, that it reminds me of something....
@@FreedomUnveiled First of all, thank you. A little journey for me that began, appropriately, with words shared by a woman from Shenandoah. Following only that which captivates the heart (looking for the author of the words in my heart that you had reminded me of)... and then, Luther Standing Bear brought tears to my eyes, _There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unkown, secret place._
3to 5 Times a night I've got Uchiwa . Never could i have spoken a word about this to psychiatrist they wouldn't even reach to my level. But to my friend who is a lacanian. 😅
Jung helped me understand my inner life without the need for consulting outdated dogmas or having faith in a particular creed. He did this in a scientific, empirical way. Reading his collected works was a revelation for me. Anyone having inner experiences that they cannot explain and need help understanding them, Jung is the author for you!
It's nearly impossible to explain all my thoughts in a casual conversation. There is too much to explain and not enough time available. We think in patterns - not straight lines like most people.
@@jonasc1221 If I ask someone why there are so many homeless people, most of the answers will involve a simple one factor cause & effect like, "they're lazy or they're all drug addicts or they are bad at managing their finances". You hardly ever hear someone analyze several factors and discuss their relationship with each other, like the cumulative effects of the pandemic, wages, cost of housing, addiction etc, and how some issues interact with others. The comments on a forum that give one simple sentence, usually get more upvotes than a long in depth paragraph.
@@prschuster I've noticed that in many conversations about issues like homelessness, people often give straightforward answers, focusing on a single cause like laziness or addiction. This seems to reflect a preference for linear thinking, at least in casual or quick exchanges. However, I realize that not everyone thinks this way, and there are definitely people who consider the complex web of factors involved. It's just that, in certain contexts, like online forums, simpler explanations tend to get more attention, possibly because they're easier to digest in a quick read
@@prschuster I understand where you're coming from, but I think it's important not to generalize too much. While some people might give simple, one-dimensional answers, that doesn't mean they're incapable of thinking more deeply. In casual conversations or online forums, people often simplify their responses because of time constraints or the format, not necessarily because they lack complex thinking. Plus, the popularity of a short comment on a forum might just reflect the platform's preference for brevity rather than the depth of thought behind it. I think if you were to ask people in a different setting, like a focused discussion or a debate, you'd find a lot more nuanced and multifaceted viewpoints
some of my family members would be upset with me saying "You are not psychic how would you know", and my answer was always, "I can see it I can feel it"
I just shrug inwardly now when what I warned people about comes to the fore, or when someone prooves themselves to be what I cautioned of. I got weary of being everyone's emotional dumping ground for all their calamities, and then having no one to provide the same catharsis. My stance now is: Not my circus, not my monkeys. I've definitely veered more into the dark side of the INFP journey, or more accurately been flung into it by a world full of psychopaths and emotionally stunted ignorant dullards. Let the calamities ensue! I'll be meditating and chilling out with the astral team 😁
Unless I'm being tricked by a particularly clever experience of my inner world, developing good heart posture toward perpetual and unending annihilation and rebirth helps me interface with the external in a more authentic and vulnerable way.
INFJ here and i live my life playing a game with most people. Im always a step ahead but i have to act like im not. And i cant explain this to folks so i just go with it
I've known this since I was a child. Playmates don't want you to be a step ahead of them and will call you stuck up or a bragger if you display knowledge they don't have. Lots of adults feel this way, too. You have to find your tribe! 🙂
It's important to remember with Jung that he want to ensure you "individuate" in your path to the Self, and that you have your own inner myth. He states this in Man and His Symbols. He also once said "Thank God I'm not a Jungian". He never wanted a school. He was a deeply insightful genius but also his ideas can be too easily seen as gospel. Read him, study him, but also find your own path despite him.
@@nathanhassallpoetry Definitely. I think the full name is Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self. So, if you are interested in the path to the Self, this is the book. I’ll paste a great audiobook in one second.
You wouldn't have watched this video if you weren't an intuitive introvert. Not because you know that you are one but because other people would'nt be attracted by this information.
Also the algorithm would pick up on our interest and comments, and probably have a more complete image of ourselves than even we do. This social media stuff really scares me and I don't know why others aren't as frightened by it as I am. I can literally listen to someone for 5 minutes and know EXACTLY what kinda content they've been consuming. Its like blatant subliminal programming but all I can do is watch as everyone walks around full of thoughts that are not even their own.
It has been a very weird experience with this personality type. I repressed the gift/curse till my 50’s by assuming that my thoughts were too odd to share with anyone. By doing so I was able to ignore my inner self until several deaths in my life and I guess midlife crisis. This shook my core and so I could no longer act ignorant to what I see and feel. I hope that if just one younger person dealing with these issues reads this I want them to know not to shun what dwells inside them. It may take a lifetime but they will ultimately find their way out, want them or not.
Just got into Jung after diving into MBTI for some time . Spent much of my summer vacation in a beach chair reading his "Psychological Types" which I found illuminating. (INTJ)
As a INFP you are be able to go inward and understand how the interior richness of your psyche is capable to perceive this matter beyond the dichotomy of Introverts and Extroverts. No odds, cause this is not a matter of success or failure. This is, undeniably, and at the same time, just another perspective. An extensive, somehow convoluted analysis of someone expressing their inner conjecture of human behaviour as if it was an undeniable Truth. If you look up for archetypes like the magician, the jester, the lover, the innocent, the hero the rebel, the sage (...) you'll probably identify with more than one. or did identify with more than one at some point in your life. The same with introverted and extroverted personalities. At least I speak by experience, not a box I would fit all the time.
INFP here. Currently reading The Red Book, and letting go of much of my acummulating intellect, and neurotic thinking as a result. Although i also know that my intellect into moral issues especially, tilt me more towards the world and society. I cant wait to study the funktions more after Red Book!
The information about when one faces a challenge in one of the functions, the solution lies in relying on the auxiliary function rather than handling the challenging one directly was very insightful! Thank you
ENFJ here but since I have FeNi as functions, I can tell you introverted intuition is "a bless and a curse" I can read people like a book, I can see future, and its getting bad as I get older because I rely more on my Ni and developing Ti ..and because now I know more and it makes life harder. I see what people can't see, I know people traumas and their intentions. I can go through their minds like walking through the door of my house. I can tell how hard life is for INFJ and INTJ because I rely on my Se to get out of my mind. Life feels so meaningless, and you question it and question why you've been created like this way all the time. But then I think if sensors can't get the idea of anything until they experience it. It's a blessing that you just need to think of it, imagine it, and voilà you already did it, so that's why INFJ and INTJ dont need Se they already know most of everything without the need to experience it.
I have this exact way since childhood, i was good at meeting new friends until my mid-late 30's when i lost interest or faith in new relationships, i see the future and read people in a split second aswell, and i either amaze or scare people when they want proof, il a new born Christian, and Jesus brings me Solace, and knowing that the energy that flows in us are the Holy Spirit lifting us out of the "Curse" into our gift. ❤
It's important to remember that while Ni gives you these incredible insights, it also can lead to certain biases. For example, just because you can sense or predict certain things doesn't mean you're always seeing the full picture. Everyone's experiences and perspectives add layers of complexity that Ni might sometimes oversimplify. Life might feel meaningless at times, especially when you're constantly questioning it from such a deep place. But that questioning is also what gives life depth and meaning, even if it’s not immediately apparent. Your Se, though less dominant, can be a valuable tool to help ground you. Engaging with the physical world, even in small ways, can provide a counterbalance to the endless stream of thoughts and perceptions. And while it's true that INFJs and INTJs may not rely as heavily on Se to understand their world, every function has its place in making us whole. Experiences, even sensory ones, bring a richness and grounding that Ni alone can't provide. :)
As an INFJ (and there are times I wish I was not) Jung's description of the introverted intuitive at the beginning of this video was spot on and it hurt. I look forward to hearing the rest. Thank you!
The morally oriented intuitive really hit. It felt like Carl literally just stepped inside my mind and read everything out like reading from a script. Actually somewhat terrifying.
Like how does he know just by the fact someone is a moral intuitive that they make their whole life symbolic at every given opportunity which is exactly what I’m doing all the time lol
I confess, I find my perception of reality to be much more important than reality itself, as I'm still unsure if a "true reality" is even possible to know.
2:32 this is exactly how I have been feeling in the recent past! When I try to explain what i see, what I understand, the dots and the patterns i see, people cannot understand it and it can even seem crazy or worse. It is indeed a lonly path, a very lonely path, not because there are no people around but because no one, and i mean no one, can understand my inner world and how it relates to the outer world, it is a very tough life, I just hope it will all make sense at some point.
when people can accept that there is one reality but every single living being has a different view onto this reality, when we allow others to tell us their perception and learn from them, humanity can begin to understand itself. and the result will be a society we have always strived for. My gut feeling tells me a future like that is in reach and it will happen. we just have to be who we truly are. if noone speaks up, nobody will know and we will never see the full picture. be strong my friend, be who you are, fate will guide us all.
@@dimitralex1892 thanks for your reply. Sure, also it is easier to say it than do it. Specially when "being who you are" involves doing things others judge as "wrong" or "bad". At that point, in my experience, there is a decisive point, where or there is some kind of "filter" inside, which says, "that's who you sre but the world will condemn you for being who you are so be who THEY EXPECT YOU to be"... or there is no filter at all and the most absolute certanty that what i do is rightful and whatever is felt or thought is played out and of course the concequences are judgment and condemnation. If the inner world give me peace and gives me understanding of the why i am who i am and do what i do, outside it is seen as a sociopath without remorse nor guilt nor emotion deprived of empathy (which is opposite of the truth). It is trully a very tough spot to be, honestly and the commintment to be "who I am", in practice, is much more difficult and scary, very scary indeed.
The answer I accepted for myself is balance. We are a mix of individuality, social integration, and instinct. The key seems to me to manage to be who you are while being integrated in society and satisfying your instincts in a positive and non-destructive way.
It's daunting to learn what I am, yet I feel bliss now that I understand myself better. Thank you for making this information accessible to us all. Great job!
"Just as the world of appearances can never be come a moral problem for the man who merely senses it, the world of inner images is never a moral problem for the intuitive. For both of them it is an aesthetic problem, a matter of perception, a 'sensation'."
INFP here. Have tried to disprove this being my MBTI multiple times... but nope, it's pretty on the money and it's exhausting. I very much feel like I live in a perpetual Cassandra Complex. 😢😂 (Also, I'm a freelance artist.)
Interesting how you give Life to these Alchemical paintings. It's like dreaming the ideas with those who painted them in the Middle Ages. Let's like them as well, and give them a Thumb through You :) They've done a Great Work passing over the Human Inner Visions and symbols. It connects us with them so deeply beyond time ans space. Keep up the good work, and Thank You !
@@irevelato Welcome, you've inspired me ! Actually, I do computer vision and AI (I am an engineer), but I never thought of using my skills to do something interesting (with generative AI) on these paintings that I love to contemplate !! I will give it a try to see what I can do and let you know. By the way, what software are you using ?
@@conscious-factory AI-wise, on this video, only ElevenLabs for voice narration. I have another video (The Death of God and the Übermensch: Nietzsche's Zarathustra Reimagined) in which I used Midjourney to recreate the scenes from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I also often use Claude for different tasks (writing descriptions, SEO-optimisation, research, proofreading and so on). Other than that, I use CapCut for video editing, Canva for thumbnails and removing backgrounds, and Artlist for stock footage and music. And that’s mostly it. But out of all, I think the most precious thing I gathered was a folder with thousands of pieces of art, and wikisource and gutenberg with hundreds of books I want to digest and make videos on them.
Carl Jung is a genius although we need a spiritual, psychological, and philosophy leaders that are able to simplify their communication so that all levels of knowledge are able to digest the deep and complex ideas of the great teachers of the past. Though I can understand the language you use in this video, because I have spent the the last 10-20 years delving into these concepts and ideas, I couldn't show this video to my family or a random stranger and trust that they would understand. These concepts are vital to the human experience and should be more accessible.
This channel will eventually come to a point where I’ll try to simplify everything. But for now, unfortunately, I’m in the learning phase too and prefer to work with and present directly the verbatim words of the greatest minds.
@@irevelato It is great that you are making this kind of content. I listened to Alan Watts for two years before I started to even understand what he was saying. I just felt the truth in his teachings. Keep talking about the subjects you love. You'll find your unique voice.
Infj here Not understood by my family and by a lot of strangers Yes i am very reach inside intuitive introvert Have to withdraw from a world that cannot stop talking to recharge Very hard road to travel Nature is where i feel myself since childhood 😢But sometimes i put a smiling face to participate in shallow boring conversations 😢
That's what I'm searching for they want to label everything and make us believe that the human experience with every emotional sensory have on some way a problem in it and need therapy and medication fuck them.
@@sindoc42 Your type can't change. If you think it does, then you're probably using the 16personalities test which is not following Jungian typology at all
Being IN(T) with SzPD and ASD, I’ve come across as the "hard to understand autistic weirdo," and that’s a relatively mild description. I often face much harsher reactions, including insults and derogatory comments, even from my own family. Btw, the idea of my comment is not to elicit sympathy. Rather, it is to provide you with an actual image of a potential IN(T) experience (which, btw, is a significant equation in the formula)
I have high hopes that you are an intelligent person that will overcome these difficulties with courage and strength and that everything will be all right in the end. 🙏
Consider stopping attaching diagnostic labels to yourself. They aren't you. They're shorthand names for groups of symptoms, usually thrust upon people by those who misunderstand them.
@@BH-qs7vo Exactly, its limiting and yet another crude model from psychology in our day and age. they dont even bother defining the other end of the autism spectrum, infact idont think they know the definition of spectrum. also @Exynal just remember these models are enforced mostly by guardians (kiersey). im pretty sure they dont do much independent thinking in their daily lives. therefore, be wary of any advice they give.
Just have a go back esp to family members - probably non self aware spastics who would benefit from your cutting insights about them 👍 It's kind to be cruel sometimes 🙂
What a jewel of a video! 15:00 for those who meditate this is so real. Brutally appling will power in order to sublimate will cause some disturbances in the screen of consciousness, not all the "images" are enjoyable, you must know what are you doing. I left a stable career to go off the grid. To have time living my inner life, and to find the source of this witness, the phenomenon of life itself.
I can only describe the feeling of hearing Jung explain intuitive introverts as being opened like a book and having my life read to me. Prior to this video I genuinely didn’t think much of these personality types but hearing him describe me so easily (especially 0:30 - 1:10) my stomach literally dropped and I felt embarrassed.
I as an INFJ-A, find much reassurance in the information provided here. it has always felt like such a mystery as to how my stream of consciousness feels connected to some sort of non-localized information feed. Abstract and unrelatable a thing as it is, it proves very useful in the realization of otherwise unknown aspects concerning the nature of others upon meeting them. I've also observed a phenomenon which manifests by letting my introverted intuition guide my actions in life, without regarding what would be considered "logic" or "common sense." Following my intuition creates a seemingly invisible pathway leading to a series of coincidences which provide all the things that i require to fulfill my goals. It is very strange, for example, feeling as if I should build a house, followed by all the materials that are required to do so, working their way into my life through events that are completely independent of one another, outside my awareness or control, and without ever stating my intentions to anyone. I'm not sure if others experience this, but it feels magical and it happens to me all the time.
@@irevelato obvioulsy since it gets you more views - and so more advertising money Were tou honest and "here for the wisdom" , we wouldnt have to stumble upon the same damn publicity all the other channels bopbard us with 😊😊😊
@@dharma6525 I guess you go to work and tell your boss or your business partners: “Don’t worry, I’ll work for you for free this year.” Look. I’m spending hundreds of hours to make these videos. You only have to watch a few seconds of ads (which by the way, for 99% of the lifetime of this channel RU-vid took all the revenue and I did not have the option to stop the ads) to have access to my work. I never complain or feel entitled about people becoming patreons or paid members or even to be grateful. I’m doing this for me firsthand. And I’ve only started to make a little amount of money out of these videos two weeks ago while spending over $100 dollars a month for a year to produce these videos, and you don’t have to take a single cent out of your pocket to watch them. What’s certain is that you obviously don’t belong here, brother. This is not the place for bitter and frustrated people.
This is so helpful. If only I could have had exposure to these revelations and others sooner, the scars that I bear would have only been internal. I understand why these messages are suppressed and it's sickening. We live in a sick world by design. Thanks.
Same ASD and INFP-T. I now relay most of my conversations through a psychological, philosophical, and spiritual framework since it's finally given me context and a linguistic model by which to relay what goes on with me inside my feelings and senses... And now fewer people are able to relate to me than when I was "just weird". It just reinforces that it's a spiritual journey for me, and not one of normative connections or values. Embrace the rare path for what it is, it gets far more interesting once you lean in to it rather than have remorse for what it doesn't bring to you. Jung's work was a huge benefit to my understanding of "who I am" and hopefully you'll find the same. Never stop seeking, never stop being open to the rare invite into life's mysteries that you've been gifted.
The prophet is the intuitive introvert! His thought and language are in the symbolic and abstract. The words of the prophet can not be understood unless the hearer desires to understand. The strict literalist/ materialist is unable.
I am INTP and "misunderstood" is an understatement. I know how people can get rich by loving their neighbors. Unfortunately, the belief system of the masses regarding money doesn't believe in taking money from friends. This is a very destructive belief system, especially in a free-enterprise society, where seeking self-interest is viewed as a Machiavellian mindset.
@@irevelato Sorry, I should have said "accepting" money from friends for a value rendered. All of the "energy" of money comes from people. Why not your friends?
I am a so-called INFJ type. There is no such thing as clear cut compartments between 'the conscious', 'the pre-conscious' and 'the unconscious'. Most of our sensations, perceptions and intuitions are unconscious most of the time. The best we can do in our very limited state of consciousness is to be aware of the fluid flux of information emanating from the whole.

I think it is important for people who have high introvert intuition to journal what they see onto the note including the symbolism, maybe it can reveal a lot of important knowledge hidden underneath the subconscious mind.
@@JonRedfern I feel you. The only thing I desire is the "work", everything else is a facade. But I can't have a future that consists only in me investigating what the hell my subconscious is doing.

They don't understand the only way that I can have "fun" is to stay in contact with my higher Self.
@@JonRedfern I don't have problems with "faith", I'm concerned about my human side. I can't follow what I have to do if I don't have a place in the world, a house, money, independency. But the Self is hungry and demands more. It wants me all for himself. I can't afford that. I won't ruin my life for him. I need balance. He already made me a different person than the others, prejudiced my relations with people, made me experience extreme loneliness and pain, only bc for him what I was doing in my life wasn't enough. If I let him have what he wants, he will consume my life, and I will be dead tomorrow.
@@JonRedfern Very interesting book. The only thing is that I don't have the tools to actually understand it and use it. I would appreciate context, bc it's true that there are lots of geometrical patterns in the unconscious and reflecting on their significance would probably make me a step ahead. For now what I found necessary to investigate, given some synchronicities I had and hints in my dreams, is the Red Book of Jung and the Odissey. I finished the first one, and it helped me with some great insights on human nature, and why our unconscious can be so desperately demanding for us. Recommend it.
I took the MBT and yielded an INFJ the first time with F at 3% and the 30s for the others. Years later, I took it again and yielded an INTJ with T being 1% and the rest in the 30s. This is a long road, but fascinating all the same.
I am almost certainly an intuitive introvert, which is certainly where and why I write poetry (and I have to ensure it makes more sense to others and not just an over presence of images). I've published a RU-vid video linking Jung's work to dreams and poetry --- both intuitive processes that capture similar things, where I refer to poetry as dreaming onto the page. Great video and my first experience with this channel. Subbed.
@@irevelato Well that's cool -- hopefully some poets can cross pollinate these channels. I've got about 5 new videos lined up after calming down for the summer. Would love to read / hear some of your poems sometime.
People I meet tell me everything about themselves without even knowing they are doing it. I believe people communicate in very subtle ways, and the information is there if you care to acknowledge it. I suspect most everyone can perceive as I do, yet choose not to. For instance, a very close friend of mine who, on the surface, is the most moral man Ive ever met, has inadvertently told me the depths of his depravity. I do not want to acknowledge his wrongdoings and will never speak of it, yet I know.
"Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance." ~HENRI BERGSON
I've never heard anyone explain this better. At some point, I thought I was losing my mind for having in a very intrusive way these cristal clear images and feelings that could tell me so many things about anyone I was talking to not only in person but even through the phone or just when thinking about that person. And even see what that person was thinking about me. What's worse is to later confirm bad thoughts of mistrust, deceit, superiority, envy or jealousy towards me that I knew from the first minute. These images and feelings can go back years in the life of the person I talk to or think of, giving me information that is impossible for me to know of ... but somehow is all there, like an open book. I'm an INTJ-A btw
It's literally a super power - learn to trust and go with your instincts earlier. Always remember, like everything, 99% of people are $*** And keep yr pecker up!
This is becoming a really nice reality for me that I can finally find out about myself.. I would not have been able to do it without you guys and I will not be able to continue without you either. Thank you for sharing your world.. with me.
I thank you from Australia for your service in helping spread the awareness of self awareness mate it will eventually tip back even though it doesn’t feel seem like it sometimes and if not well history repeats! ❤
I think they keep their perspectives to themselves because they’re able to hold a lot of contradictory views about reality. They really don’t know what is real and what is not. They are hesitant to share their thoughts because they know they could change in a moments notice.
I relate to this video a lot but I’m not sure if I just want something to relate to so I’m hesitant to identify with this personality type. Also I notice a lot of William Blake art in this video. Do u like William Blake or is he considered this personality type?
if you think about it, its real for you. maybe you canno explain, maybe it is not real in the sense of correct, but you experienced it, so it is definitely real to you. you have to question yourself, what exactly happened. was it just a mistake (logic error, sensory error) or was it something else (e.g. a connection you cannot explain). you can get to the bottom of it by observation, detecting patterns in your life. you can also share your experience and others can tell you if they had similar experiences (of course you may will meet many people who didnt, but you may also find people who did). there is one reality, but every conscious has a different perspective onto reality. so of course we are different. we will only ever understand reality through the combined perspectives of us all. so you should talk about the stuff that happens to you even if it seems "unrealistic". But of course not everyone is ready to listen and handle such a conversation. nevertheless its important. dont be scared to be who you really are. only this way we cann see the truth, only this way we will understand who we are, what we are and what reality really is. And if you are still hesitant to share your experiences: try to meet new people. your heart will tell you when its time to talk about all this stuff and to whom. of course you can improve your chances of a good discussion when you look at the right places. i went to a psy festival for the first time last year. and it changed me. not because of illegal substances, but because there are many many people who are kind hearted and open minded. i never felt more at the right place. also stuff like synchronization is happening there a lot. i went there this year again and it changed me again. i stopped smoking in the middle of the festival, something in my brain switched and now i dont need it anymore. if you decide to join such an event, i would recommend a event which is not only one weekend. at least i need 2-3 days to let the business world behind me and really be there. i hope my words help.
@@dimitralex1892interesting I’ve been to a couple festivals but never really let myself go fully. I also am not a fan of crowds but I’ll try to go out of my comfort zone
I'm an INTP and an artist / engineer type. I have a rich inner world but I have to find other ways to try and describe it in the concrete world of fixed reality - on other words it is only through expression that I can filter my experience of the world into art which gives my exsistence meaning. The paradox of knowing this and being aware of it is that making a material living from it os a struggle. I am now moving into teaching comp sci which is the only developed talent I have has made any money from. Sometime something I certainly struggle with is interperetation of the inner images. Art is good cos I tend to just channel it without judgement. I can analyze it later if I am so inclined, often I am not and just leave it as some anoymous thing which emerged from whatever that creative zen like state is at work during painting.
The universe is dualist by design. It exists through the application of opposing forces. Fight versus flight is one example of this dualism. Introverts are predisposed to flight even in fight mode. They do not relish conflict like an extrovert would. Their relationship to competition is shaped by this introversion. Layer over this the sensitivity of intuition and you push the introvert deeper into themselves until they learn how to manage their heightened sensitivity. Giftedness is high in this group but so is self-destructive behavior as the pain of being introverted/ intuitive becomes a prison that inflicts suffering. Evolution is an arrow flying through space and time. The Introverted Intuitive is at the tip of the arrow. Recently created now that the environment has made it possible for them to survive. They are the future.
@@irevelato You made me smile with the hierarchy comment. The thought of Intuitive Introverts being leaders of humanity gives me the giggles. We don't do hierarchy. We change the environment that others live in. We are largely invisible but the effect of our existence is very pronounced. Intuitive Introverts exist to stop humanity from destroying itself. We soften the destructive instincts of human beings because we are somewhat removed from the force of instincts. Humanity is a movement from Animal to Spirit while remaining as animals. We are further down the spectrum of that path. (Tip of the evolutionary flying arrow) Of course the first and largest challenge is for intuitive Introverts to not destroy themselves. That is the problem with being at the tip of the arrow. We absorb all the force of it hitting the target.
@@dianewhiting691 @irevelato it depends what you want to know and what your study/practices have been thus far. A safe bet is The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P Hall. The issue, or strength of Jung is that he is an avenue of leaving materialism in pursuit of high truth, but he himself was limited in what he could achieve due to fear of going mad -- which for a time he did. I write about these things a lot in the link on my profile, there is an about section there which contains, really too many, recommended authors, speakers, and book titles. MP Hall and Steiner are approachable from the western tradition, but I would recommend the yoga sutras and venturing into daoism, kabbalah, sufis and the Rosicrucians Always happy to talk about psychology and the higher arts of metaphysics
In love your references and I will check out your writings. Sounds very interesting and I love to talk too about such things. What I had in mind to explore next where first Nietzsche then Plato’s writings from his elder years, such as Timaeus, The Laws, Epinomis, and so on. But Jung is definitely only a beginning and I think this channel will evolve in unexpected ways. I think Jung does a very good job at connecting some dots however.
@@irevelato If i may, i have a recommendation. First i must say, today i stumbled upon your channel and i am intrigued. Having grown up an INTJ, i have spent much time learning the Jungian personality model, and i have found it very useful. That said, the older i get the more i tend to believe personality can be fluid and malleable. For this reason, when i find the time i intend to learn more about Walter Mischel and Yuichi Shoda's CAPS system (Cognitive Affective Personality System). Having scrolled through your catalog, it appears you have focused on more ancient ideas. But if you ever have the inclination, i believe an investigation into the CAPS system is a worthy endeavor. 💜
@@irevelato yeah i understand. i live in a very small community and i do my part to blend in. i do communicate when its necessary and try to hold the bonds of relationships. but i cannot open my mnd, i know this for a fact. i've seen like minded people on the internet and i believe this is as far as that tribe goes. and i feel the like minded people on the web feels that way too. as long as there's electricity and internet, we all belong to the tribe. but its all coming to end soon.
@@fihtah8243 I wouldn’t be so grim about the future. Most probably you’re right. But since you can’t control it, don’t stress about it. At least that’s what I do. And it definitely works better for my mind ever since I decided to stop thinking about all the ways the world is coming to an end. You should try it. You can’t erase this knowledge, but you can change the way you look at it.
@@irevelato im almost where you're at. made peace with alot of things in life and have been going forward with time. there's something i tell myself alot lately "it is what it is".
