What Is The Subconscious And Its Gateway? | Cognitive Functions | CS Joseph 

30:41 - 31:20 You got me on the wisdom part. Perfectly said! In the Qur'an, Allah informs us of something quite similar to what you mentioned. I felt the urge to share this because you've demonstrated your alignment with your natural intellectual instincts. This is not something to be taken for granted, because many people would rather trade wisdom for fleeting material things. You're very inspirational and I enjoy watching your videos. Above all, I highly appreciate your honesty and strong criticism of aspects of the human personality and life. Here's the verse: He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding. [AL-Baqarah, verse 269] And here it is in Arabic for any fellow Arabic-speaking viewers: یُؤۡتِی ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ مَن یَشَاۤءُۚ وَمَن یُؤۡتَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ فَقَدۡ أُوتِیَ خَیۡرࣰا كَثِیرࣰاۗ وَمَا یَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّاۤ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰبِ [سورة البقرة ، الآية 269]

You need to do a video on how you typed your cat, even if it’s just a couple minutes long. Because I just think that would make for an interesting video. I think my cat is ISTP lol

Oh yeah that wand makes you look like a badass psychology wizard

Infp here. Thank you so much for all your hard work in sharing your knowledge to make us our best version of ourselves! I am addicted to your channel!

He typed his cat 😂

I was just thinking, the past few days, that this episode needed to exist so I could know more about the subconscious. And here it is!

"I am triggering SO many people right now." just as I'm thinking about how much golden context you are weaving and value you are creating by doing so. Next video: breaking down the formulae to Cosmic Jokes.

For those with Fe inferior such as myself, I would suggest studying culture and ethics to develop it. CSJ mentioned that moving to another country and forcing yourself to learn their language would help this kind of growth immensely. But for those of you who are not ready for that kind of leap, even moving to a different town or living in something like a dorm would be highly beneficial. I would also suggest volunteering for something that involves servicing a variety of people. Basically, anything that challenges you to live in someone else's shoes would be worthwhile (especially for INTPs - servicing others in need is the fastest way to develop your ESFJ subconscious). As for ethics, you could learn a lot from the great philosophers, or even professional guidelines of ethics (ex: the ACA code of ethics) might yield some fruitful insights.

You work that elder wand, Chase! You look very Voldemort-ish! Not menacing, but very cool with suave! Well, I’m an INTJ female, always very emotionally controlled and living in my Ego function all the time. But I realize that the times when I was most happy was when I just didn’t overthink, when I just experienced it, which were few and far in between. I agree that when I tap in my subconsious, I am most happy. It takes me back to when I still a child, probably when my ego was still not developed - before life hit me. I think that my ego was developed to help me survive and adapt, but I’ve always relied on my ego and have been feeling a lot empty these past few months. Recently, I experienced an awakening, and decided that I was just more than what my “ego” decides me to be. I started to just do things. So instead of think-say-do, I reversed the process - I experience things first (Se) and decide on what I think about it after - and it feels so awesome! A month ago, I would never would have attempted freediving (I didn’t know how to swim), or kundalini yoga (never tried yoga, just a gym plan), or volunteer at a local charity. Now, I get to be a mermaid on weekends, I started baking, meditating daily, and not my INTJ ego self and I still feel good (but a lot more "well rounded"?). So yes, it can help you be more “mindful” and “aware” leading to enlightenment. It’s so interesting to learn about depth psychology and merge it not only with Carl Jung but also spirituality and enlightenment. Thank you! I like these series!

I was definitely a more effeminate ESTJ male in my 20's and 30's, around last year when I turned 40 I started the 'mid-life' process I definitely became much more masculine and authoritative in my mannerisms. In fact I've become borderline Misogynistic with people. It's actually been difficult to control lately, but I'm getting better at it.

Finally, a good old metaphysical, but not so much, video. A nice break from all this livestreams.

Just the title of this...... UUUUGGHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, DAAAAAAMN!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

True enough, humility has propelled my career to greater heights than my skills. Being a perfectionist made me feel like nothing can break my plans and strategies and i found soon that my superiority complex took me nowhere near my goals. It was a long process to be humble at work. I even survived a job that tossed and turned my confidence in many ways! Brought my a level of anxiety i never knew i would have. But it was a process I had to go through to further myself. I was exactly where I should be. Overall, you make me feel guilty about not reading much books these days. Ok imma do myself a favor on that part...

Typology has helped me immensely these past 15 months in developing my intj subconscious. It has really helped me go through what has definitely been a Covid-induced midlife crisis. I definitely support the message on this video.

Living vicariously through your children resonates with me! My mother is an ESTP and I’m an INFJ and she was the only person that raised me so it makes sense why I am an INFJ because she used her subconscious to make me lol just like when I talk to people about having children I always tell people I want little alpha boys who are athletes... my subconscious is ESTP who make awesome athletes and are super dominant lol

Thank you so much for this confirmation. I have been really working on “seeing through” my Se and it really does feel happier. I’m not worried about anything but my surroundings and what I see. Its very liberating. It’s also easier to interact with others. I just navigate others personalities with Te in order to make the best decision for a situation rather than trying to control everything. Mediation was key for me also.

I work in a very Se demanding profession, so I've had been forced develop my Se for a while now. After watching this video on the subconscious I started making a conscious effort to let my unconscious take over. I think I've been able to do it twice. Most INTJ's know what it's like to enter their flow state. It's like that.... but you also run an emotional high, that makes it so interruptions don't cause you to break down. My best experience in my subconscious was about 8 hours long, and carried me through one of the busiest days this quarter. Everyone was emotionally frayed, and ready to snap but for some reason I was able to skate above it all. Putting out fires as I went. Additionally, after a full 8 hours of "human" I wasn't socially drained at all. It was surreal. Just wanted to say THANK YOU! This really is a huge epiphany for me, and a massive step towards becoming my best self.

me, isfp: distracted by cat even tho I can’t see it but is wondering what it’s doing and where it is at all times (*´∇｀*)

This is my fave lecture from you! The point about how you wish your children to be is really your subconscious projecting was super insightful! ENTP

Thanks for making videos on the deeper layers of personality! It's so needed. I can't wait to see more of this series!

Thank you. My 39 years old ENFJ friend mentioned me the same thing as you did about humility very often. About gender energy I have to reconsider my grandmother as ENFJ instead of ESFJ because she always acts like a man. Respect you and everyone who develop my life.

Intermittent fasting also works wonders. I actually feel more balanced, skipping breakfast and only eating two meals per day.

Wow this video looks great chase love it, can’t wait for the next 2 videos in this season

"what are you doing?!" I have no idea, you tell me?

I have to add though, that my neighbor is defffffinitely an ISTP transgender man. Biologically female, but is in transition. But in a way, that adds to the original point of your argument that STPs are masculine in general.

Can you do a series on development of individual cognitive functions, such as Se? I personally wanna learn how to practice Te as well.

CSJ, lots of powerful stuff being said in this lecture.. it's so wierd because I have had a lot of the exact same thoughts about my own experience and development, but I usually dismiss them because I don't know if it's valid or not, then BOOM here you come with your explanation and theory.. just wow. This was really motivating, love your work!

It’s Friday night and I’m grabbing a cup of lemon balm tea and listening to this gold TONIGHT 💚 Yep. I’m turning into an awesome adult. Your lectures are so fun to listen to, very little BS to I trust it more lol

More cats = more subscribers

32:17 I agree with this completely. It’s interesting as I (INFJ) have watched my attachment style change over time as I’ve developed my subconscious ESTP - because attachment styles aren’t necessarily fixed.

LMAOOO. Can you teach me how to type my cat too??? Love the way you casually said she's an esfj looool juuuuust in case we were wondering ;) But on a serious note.....omggg you have a kitty! Is she a new addition to the family? I haven't heard you speaking about her before. I wanna see her!

Looking forward to the season on how to type pets. Perhaps you can live type them from recordings too?

Ayyee!! Yes!! This season continues with another banger CS Joseph. I absolutely love this, these lectures always give me motivation to keep learning and growing. Keep this up my guy :) And on the point of masculinity and femininity, It’s funny because before I knew of the masculine & feminine side of the mind theory, when I did some people watching of my own (Se parent habit), I’ve generally have noticed that starters and behind the scene types give of a more feminine “vibe” than the other two. Or the lesser “mature” (I’ll call them that for now; not sure if that label is true) ones would overcompensate by going all Conor Mcgreger, alpha male on your ass. But you could tell that it was an “act” or “facade”, or atleast I could. Not saying they all do that, but it’s something I’ve seen from time to time, so I would subscribe more to the interaction style theory than the more linear sides of the mind theory. It makes more sense to me, but I’m just an average people watching Joe. It may have to do with informative v. direct, tbh but Idk. It’s still interesting.

Been following Mr. Cs for a while now.. As an ENFJ that is absolutely fascinated with being a growth teacher and learning to map out archetypes I started digesting CS's info with an aspiration to be a growth teacher of actualization.. This type of information has changed my life and I am very grateful for the work this guy does.. Have learned to be deeply fascinated with an ESTP with FI trickster developing and delivering something so significant to the world. As an ENFJ I am very proud and grateful this guy has reached such a level of potential and I literally had to watch at least a hundred hours of his material to really be able to follow his perspectives and be able to map them out with my NI-TI axis with any level of real understanding.. absolutely wonderful. Liked, subscribed and hit the bell. Thank you as always Mr. CS Joseph.

Best channel ever. I make all my friends take ur test now

23:55 I am impressed with the amount of consideration you gave toward this open ended Te question. Very mature coming from Te - 6, my Te - 5 usually just worries internally... “since type psychology isn’t technically a scientifically verified theory (yet) [yes i know psychology is a soft science since it is reliant on personal testimony in large part for its assessments of truth, unlike physics or chemistry] and that would be needed to show it is logically sound not just internally consistent (logically valid). Is there a statistical connection between interaction style gender and transgender percentage among a broad population?” these are the kinds of questions I ask all the time with regard to depression, religion, drug usage, political affiliation, etc. - INTP

Looking FRESH chase! Get it, you wonderful stud!

I feel that the Inverse theory you mentioned is a master key. Please correct me if I am wrong, An INTJ has to lead with morals (responsible) rather than will power to develop the subconscious?

I like that you superimposed yourself from the actual video for the thumbnail.

Great episode ... just finished watching on Patreon. It makes more sense now why my (ESFJ) mother seemed so hawkish in confining my siblings and me to academics and not necessarily as supportive of activities outside of that zone. I am getting better at implementing my humor in speeches now. However, I have procrastinated once again due to the number of things on my proverbial plate and will have to quickly write an outline tomorrow morning if I am to at least get three hours of practice in. Believe it or not, I want to improve learning by making a link between AI and Jungian cognitive functions. However, the meta-physical aspects are still somewhat above my comprehension, and I don't have a clue as to what it is like to have the Fe function.

I'm an INFJ, and i'm knowing this channel now. After this video, i need to tell you.. i'm so desperate to develop my ESTP side. I just need to know the healthiest way to do it.

I know a homosexual ISTP girl. Pretty interesting.

You know what I am saying ...😂😂😂 puts a smile on my face all the time

Well I haven't finished this lecture yet and I haven't done research into this subject yet but I def think your theory regarding anima/animas is more correct than the other. With what we now know about this Science, this theory so far makes the most sense and appears to dovetail nicely with the 4 sides of the mind. This would actually explain quite a lot and is fascinating to contemplate. I will do some research into this topic when I have some time; thanks for putting it on my radar.

looking forward for that unconscious video ^^

LOL right as you started talking about circadian rhythms I was opening up my window and letting the sun hit me

1st i tell every person that i know that you exist...even psychologists 2nd love the femenine and masculine theory 3rd I went to season 4 in the middle of the video! 4th I am an INTJ from Chile, south america Hi!

Please, matrix of each personality type with M. vs. F. sides of the mind...

I think for me my subconcious (ISTJ) is more feminine then my ego (ENFP). My ESTP superego is definitely masculine -not sure about INFJ shadow

Gentle grammar reminder about "it's" vs "its". Will make the title look better.

Haha I typed one of my cats as an ESFJ, as well. She thrives on routines and loves everyone being together. Adorbs.

@23:49 you asked of the statistics reguarding the connection to a person being born opposite gender then their majority subconcious. The blood brain barier reference, points in the direction of partial explanation. Your asking the right questions. Your theory is seeming to be the most completly logical. Keep up the good work!

What subconscious does this sound like (me as a child btw): Curious; independent; loved to create things (legos, drawings, stories etc); did what I wanted; was creative; sensitive. Was not very outgoing, but not extremely shy either. Further context below: Your videos and test and companion guide helped me determine that I am a XNTJ. But not which one.

Interesting Concepts presented in this video! As an INTJ male who has been told throughout his life that I can tend to act too feminine, this video gave me some things to theorize about as to whether its because my other two sides of my mind are feminine and growing up I had to go into other sides of my mind to be socially accepted by people. Like maybe it's just a product of being a music student in a culture that favors my subconscious making me aspire often, and maybe its the fact that my mother is an ISFP and I needed to be in ENTP unconscious to survive around her. Or maybe it's just a combination of multiple things. Lots to think about, Great video Keep it up!

This one is going to be good.

Oh, yeah forgot to thank you for the lovely video

Chase, thanks to me rewatching this video, and your uncconscios, critic and nemesis videos a few times, I have come to the conclusion that I was wrong when I previously assumed I was unconscious focused, and that I'm rather more likely to be subconscious or even ego focused. But I am extremely hungry for some unconscious development, as I am sick of being immature, hypocritical, and unwise. I have also realised that developing the unconscious is the first step in... well, a 'shortcut' to development and self improvement. (Yes, another INTJ shortcut). Right now at this moment, this is probably the thing I desire most in life. What I have realised, and what I mean by a 'shortcut', is that since developing the more pessimistic functions promotes the most growth in other cognitive functions via axis and orbit, this would make the critic and demon the ideal cognitive functions to develop for overall growth as they are the most pessimistic. But since the demon is so damn hard to develope because we have basically no cognitive awareness of it by default, it is probably better to start by developing the nemesis to grow awarness of the demon a little via cognitive axis first. So as a result I concluded that the nemesis and the critic are the best functions to start developing for fastest overall growth, and of course they essentially represent the unconscious, being the hero and parent of the unconscious and all. Anyway, I have already watched your videos on developing the unconscious (apart from your membership ones) and already know more or less what is required or what it means to develope the unconscious. Hard work, humility, a more critical hero and parent such. But what I'm struggling to see with my Se and Te, is what the general sort of 'mindset' that a transition into ENTP unconscious would 'look' like or 'feel' like. I can already identify when I've transitioned into my subconscious, as this has a particular 'feel' to it, and my personality seems to change in a way that I just know by looking at my actions that I'm in my ESFP subconscious, but I cant seem to get the same feeling for my ENTP unconscious... I was wondering if you have any tips for me on this... Like, what does ENTP unconscious actually 'look' like? And how do I know how to properly implement 'humility' into my life for unconscious development?

Yes, I’ve got se inferior and once someone insulted my haircut in front of the whole class and I legit acted like a woman

T Gondii is fascinating--once rodents are infected with this parasite, it causes them to feel sexual attraction for cats rather than fear. The parasite can only compete it's life cycle in the stomach of a feline. It's highly prevalent in our society (this is why there are labels on bags of cat litter warning pregnant women to not handle cat feces). I had no idea T Gondii and gender dysphoria were correlated but now I'll be researching this topic as well. I'm editing bc I just realized I had a typo.

You talk soooo fast damn! Insanely inspirational!

Speaking of typing animals, I've been meaning to ask you: at what point along the evolutionary scale do cognitive functions manifest? Is it just us humans, or have we noticed them in primates or other animals?

The plural of bias is biases (or UK biasses), pronounced "bias iz", with the pronunciation "bias eez" being nonstandard, similar to "processes".

I have been watching tons of content from this channel and this is the video that gets me to subscribe. Just wondering if you have any further content/experiment on the interaction style gender theory

My cat is an INTJ.

I'm in the proces of creating a novel based on a istp female subconsious (based of my own submind. Im enfj). It does help to develop a part of oneself in real life by first visualising it (as a novel) somehow. Ease into this sense of self maybe? Tapping into the istp sub, I've also drawn out a house that's come up during a visualised meditation, fully and scaled, whooohoooo! Also doing yoga to be physically agile and basically stepping into the kick ass istp sub. It also helps as how I show up with others. It's easier to keep the peace (learning other through a istp filter). It's a learning and creating kinda vibe all day now. A shift of ones attention. I wasn't aware a person could observe so much and create learning experiences for oneself every moment. Even in the household and food intake I've become minimalistic and efficient yet creative, like istps I know. (not 100%, but it's developing) This lecture with what you suggest, is no work for the easy. So very impressive that you do this (your isfj sub) with fighting sports and feminine background moves! I like this video. Thank you so much for the insightful videos. I guess a spicy, strong, calm yet still warm enfj will be the result ;P.

This is one of the most important lectures Chase has given. I am more inspired to overcome my fear of Fi inferior and turn it aspirational.

I believe it. This explains so much. I'm an infp male

Great lecture, but actually this is not what I expected. I thought you would give advices differently for each personality types how to activate, strengthen their unconscious side of mind.I am an Sri Lankan INTP and I know my unconscious personality type is ENTJ. If I learn about ENTJ's ego and embrace their qualities and behaviors to my day to day life, will it make myself more mature, will it make my pessimistic Unconscious personality be more synced with my positive ego to create a perfect order for my life to achieve the success?????? And I also love ENTJ's qualities ,Extraverted practical behaviors and I definitely wanna be more like them. I wanna be an ENTJ when I want to be practical ,organized and extraverted to create amazing systems in real world ,to argue with ppl, accomplish my goals, bring my internal frameworks to the real world using my Ti hero. Thanks for your support ❤️

Thank you for shareing the different theroy s I really like that.

Chase , you remind me of my entp dad schooling me.

my sister is an ISTP and my god she is so manly, she tries so hard to hide it but when she gets angry its shows, and she gets angry alot.

You hit the bail on the head when you said other MBTI youtubers dont know what they’re talking about😂 I’ve been so frustrated and gave up watching them. Thanks for your wisdom. I also now understand why i cant be super “girly” compared to other women. -INFJ

As an INFJ your son will prefere to do rather than watch (sport and phyical) things. Unless he is trying to perfect ?!😉 something practical, in which case he will want to watch people who are experts in there field until he gets the full picture.👌

Thnx...CSJ!

Also I know a female to male trans person who is ISFP. He's been in a long-term relationship with an INTP female. I guess that makes sense because he has ENTJ subconscious.

I don't care if you want to change your gender. I don't care if you're not sure and want to explore and learn about gender transitions. But don't expect me to pay for it via taxes. The government should not be picking winners and losers. And this is an example of that

The Owen Wilson impression was fun.

Goodness gracious sakes my subconscious needs help 😆 getting better structure on what it is and will be reaching out soon

Dear Chase. instead of telling us 50 times that we need to develop our subconscious or we’ll be unhappy why don’t you just give a three minute snippet On what each personality type can do to develop it.

Thank you!

I think it's an interesting idea you have regarding transgenderism. I didn't make any statistics about this, but from a logical point of view, I would say, the orientation of the type on its own isn't enough, but if you combine this nature with a specific kind of nurture f. e. people saying that this isn't how gender xy behaves, this could be a thing. How I imagine interactiontype and its orientation its more something other people perceive and not something you feel intrinsically. P. S. Thanks for the content you're doing a good job and you have improved over time!

Hey Chase, do you think having bad practical skills is indicative of inferior Se, and also how would you recommend developing inferior Se? Loved the video btw, one of your best

How do the other functions come into play as you develop the subconscious. How do the parent function and the hero function act now that they are the 3rd and 4th slot?

From "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover"--'We don't live under patriarchy, or rule by men; we live under puerarchy, or rule by boys' @15:00

Nice video. Can you type Quentin Terentino in your next video?

Thank you

I always imagined the subconscious as a tree from which sweet fruit (wisdom) can be plucked and the unconscious as a dragon that must be fought to acquire a treasure (maturity). Obviously, the masculine strategy is to take the challenge of the dragon for the clear reward, being unaware of how plucking fruit can be rewarding (since it's an indirect reward). The female strategy, however, is that of exploration and initiation.

I like your idea, Chase! I was thinking about this and it’s interesting how the idealist types are triple masculine, while the intellectual types are triple feminine...yet, the NF’s normally have a really hard time handling the truths the NT’s dish out. I guess masculinity by your concept would be specific to physical demeanor/presentation? It doesn’t appear that truth is a factor at all in any of these distinctions...most developed XNTP’s would stick by their principles, and developed XNTJ’s also hold strong to their rational convictions. I like where this is all heading but I still think we’re missing something.

Will you ever release season 19 to the public? I really want access to it but I don’t have 40 bucks to spend.

Man, I love you. ENTP metaphysical Logic Love here 🤤

Nice fade dude

Good video. I agree with you on the Transgender topic although I’d take a different approach... I’m unsure about the Anima/Animus theory yet... I have my own thoughts on that but great video! Love that you’re digging deep. I agree with maybe separate videos for rants and videos for strictly the topic. Tried showing your videos to an INTP and he appreciated your reasonings however he decided the video was too long and the point often lost. He switched to DavePowers. I prefer your videos as an INFJ female. Just a thought though. I could have roped his subscribe button in if brevity appeals to him.

Is it possible for a drunk/tipsy INTJ (with moderation and in controlled circumstances) to better learn to delve into ESFP Subconscious, or is that a ludicrous notion?

Gonna post a long question here; I was thinking about my life a bit and what you said in recent videos. I noticed that I am probably a subconcious focus person, I think so due to the fact that I do behave childlike (like a lot, sometimes childish :P ), well what I wanted to ask is, if a person would be subconcious focus would they seem slightly ignorant and/or perceive themselves as such?(I always get amazed by how mature ppl around me are and nearly always I feel lile I am ignorant(one more reason I like your videos so much, they make me learn quite a bit :d ) )

I love your devil side xD

Can you make significant progress with the demon function? Since access to the subconscious means “flipping around” the functions in the ego, then you don’t you also flip around the shadow and therefore the demon function is neutered / improves to something more positive?

I think you could take the Garden of Eden metaphor even further. I recently watched a sermon on the nature of Work in a biblical context. The idea of it was basically that work was not only a commandment but also a reflection of God. In Genesis, even God is said to have worked for 6 days and rested on the 7th, setting a model for mankind to follow. Not only that but work is a necessity in a post "Fallen" world where instead of the Earth being like a garden, it now supplied thorns and only by sweat and hard work could be coaxed into giving anything fruitful, and because you require food in order to survive, it folllows that you must also live (or survive) by the sweat of your brow. This is further reinforced in the New Testament by Paul (whose authenticity I think you dispute but here it is anyway) in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.". All of this can be interpreted not only literally but also figuratively as the need of man to "work" on himself, in the sense that just as you would naturally die of starvation if you stopped working to provide food for yourself, you would also die spiritually by not working to provide the appropriate nourishment (and development) for your soul. In other words we must resist not only the entropy of the universe and the physical body but also the entropy of the spirit and the psychological mind.

I’m an isfj. What should I do to develop my entp subconscious ?

Aren't Si users feminine, and Se users masculine, regardless of the side of the mind, making everybody "half and half"?

Fantastic lecture as always. Totally agree with the theory that Starter and Background types are more feminine. But wouldn't that mean that some STP women are likely to be Transgender because they are so masculine? Just saying since you mentioned you have never seen a STP transgender, but I guess you are talking about men in that case maybe. Anyways really interesting stuff.
