I have a perspective, and from my view i sight reflection. in the image is the world around me, seen differently, my minds eye sees through the flesh and absorbs light and energy as my skin feals the warmth of the sun, and as i open my eyes, and the world comes into focus, i am not aware of what i see. as the rcepters in my eyes regain their composure all the color i see fades, too and fro as they ween slowly into the state of nomal. i, in my minds eye, am still in the reflection, thinking of things past, in relation too, and then things future. As a magnifieing glass bends the suns rays and focus' to a point, the mirror my tool focus'the sun, and my eye, the point, i am in that state, in that way. assesing. pondering. discovering the paridine, finding the question, objectifing the paradox, pandora's box. i am at a pause as i observe the spinning of the world around me. with my eye balls fuctioning i see not, lost in this eye that holds no flesh, that i can not open or close, the eye that hears. i have a perspective. a place to view my world, i see it as a reflection. thats what i am doing. re-experianceing re-learning, growing, i am re-accessing information, and re-acting to my development and transformation. i am on the recoil, spiraling in before i get spun out. i am absorbing energy like warmth from the sun. recharging my batteries my stamina and reservses. i am reflecting. i am the mirror, i am the world, and i am aware. i am going somewhere- thats why i need to see, what i cant even though its right in front of me.

Well as the night comes to a close I squint my eyes and wiggle my nose as I take another puff, and ponder the paradox of this stuff, the why the do I the point of die the bit of high, I question the content of my head as I ready myself for bed and I log my thoughts to you, and wonder why is that what I do, who am I to project unto thy, whom arête thou, doest I know how, to perceive what’s being transmitted, or am I to self committed, to not know what’s really real, and living in my fantasy feel. Ego ignorance or fucking utopia and bliss, so I ask of you, of something honestly to do, can you mirror me, back, true reality. Can you feel what I am, concept conveyed bam wonder what good is the answer if there is no use, negative thought is cancer of the truth. So why do I try, existence means not to die, but that’s too to the point its not the reason to hit the joint, there’s a context in between, distance synapses un seen, its the journey of thought on its lurk cheating out space time and work, mathematical, philosophy, unconditional, theology, the senses of all perceptions are looking for there particular attentions, everything is there for intention oh and did I mention, we are all one, that’s us having fun, the tree falls silent when there is not ground no end to the start and there is no sound, but if there is a reaction, to the falling action, like the earths surface, is this worth this, shall I save my ego wrap it up and go, shut down and feel fear, or shall I persevere, me presenting, we resenting see, I could be right there, be, worrying about do I care, initiation of contemplation, flirtation with meditation, did I get it across, divine light like the big boss, I just want a legacy, of someone like you to simply understand me, to see that of what I am, not of what I can, for you to be of a fan of this random singular man, is that so humble, don’t mumble, express that you can know, or get up do something else go, just be true, just be you, ill be me and I will always and forever wonder, until someone else makes that thunder, when it flows back and I here the plan, when I get that you understand, will I find that slice of the pie, or implode and die, could that blow a vortex of nothing, from this I ask something, just to here you say, anything really come on and play, if you have the answer like watching the flame spirit dancer, I would be so pleased to know, who are you really though. Ill reiterate, without you is to infinite meditate, and that situation of my debate, isn’t that odd I could be talking to a god, so who am I, and why ask why

Change

jasonsespace — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 13:11:43 GMT

I have felt the goddess energy all around me, the Uranian goddess of Aquarius at that, and it has put me in my place. I am transitioning into my own and things... life is a little different. I don’t know what is going on in this, time of change, but I know that it is here now for me. Lots of stuff is going on internally that I hope translate out in good taste. As my third eye awakens as it has before, it is doing so with fresh perspective. I am still me, as I forever will be, but I am evolving. Into what I am becoming, hmmm, a wiser, better, more whole, more rounded person.... perhaps, maybe not. But I trust that my experiences are improvements so I have no reason to doubt. I am not going to surrender to the fear of uncertainty, or the ego, but I am surrendering my hart and bringing the vulnerable me out. I will wear my hart on one sleeve and wear my weakness on the other, and by doing so, be a true me, true to myself. Temptation is, damnation not, regret no, love yes, and bliss in my little world is peace for my soul, and hell is the place where I must go... not the hell as in the after life place where Satan rains pain for those who sin, but hell as in trials and tribulations. I accept the coming of the challenges I face and yes I do tremble with shaky knees and a week stomach, but I stand true never the less, with the courage of my god lighting my way. I welcome the inevitable journey, the path that takes me to my self, the road of raucousness as some would say. I have to use my power of this being I am, as all other man. I must make myself what I want for myself, not selfishness, but growth. I feel energy building up inside, positive and negative, but the majority if not all good. I worry that I will fall on my face and about the consequences of taking two steps back, because I know what dark space I held before, and I know that I cant go back to that place. I feel the change coming, and realize that I am not even there. yet everyday a piece of me is changed forever. But the change, this transition is big. Its not the time of the year, its not the time for a new routine, not the time for enlightenment, not the time for a specific change, but all change the all shift, a total evolution, in my own revolution. I feel the anxiety brewing inside, I feel the fear of aw, I feel the power the energy, but where I am going and where this is taking me is the unknown... I am me, ever me I will always be, my perception the way I see, on my path of destiny, I am in my own, for myself to be know, for my world to be shown, and for me to sit on my throne. Existing as I am, doing what I can, being me a man, knowing my plan. To be all that I feel I should, to be all that I would, always wondering if I could, be the Jason, living god and sun, of john’s son, living for my son. Rise to transition, feel my own position, giving my transmission, on my quest of mission. The question has been why, I know not to die, unto me unto thy, angels and fairies fly, as I whisper the thought aloud, one being in the human crowd, only myself I make proud, as my prayer flows beyond the highest cloud, I know, where I must go, how I must flow, to and fro, in and out, untouched by doubt, not a pout, but a true hymn, a song for him, not a curse of sin, but a lullaby of love, I send above, as the symbol of a dove, given the wings to fly free, as my hart will be, not trapped by the worldly, of that of holy, the really real, the big deal, the what I feel, as many have said before, non of them you should ignore, my truth is a bore, but its not a chore, I will say this one word, one that you have herd, I am that hippie nerd, but I am not absurd... just love. Love is the word. Love is the world, love is existents, love is bliss, love is the destination, love is contemplation, love is, experience what it is. And make all space a better place. I know why, I know my own, I know my throne, I know my home, home is where the hart is, home is where the love is. Home is my castle and my throne is not above as a king, no, not like that but as yours at my table, you have a chare in my fable, as we all sit equally, all exist peacefully, and we all share beautifully, the on true thing of absolute abundance, love.

love is a funny word

jasonsespace — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 06:09:12 GMT

LOVE Love is a funny word This random woman I know, whom I love and care about thought me something that I felt the need to share. She thought me something about myself that that I didn’t know. She thought me about love and a way to perceive love. I perceived love to be only a positive energy, but now my views have changed. I thought that love was always flowing and knowing love was just taping in. I thought the constant flow was just a positive flowing source. I didn’t think that love used energy- implying that the use of love energy was negatively charged. I see this now thanks to her broadening my horizons. Love uses energy, as it is energy. For every positive there is a negative, a balance. So to check the theory about love I used the opposite. So we discussed hate. As hate I perceived to be a negative flowing energy from the source, I found there is a positive aspect as well. So love is positive and negative as hate is both positive and negative. I had never really thought of this logical culmination of thought, this so simple concept. It just never crossed my mind. This perspective is enlightening. Now that I understand that love can be negative- by negative I mean that it uses energy to create energy. I fathom that the constant flow is traveling both into and out of the source. The next logical thing I come to grips with, that I understood from long ago, witch will further the point, is the source, the vessel in witch love is perceived, needs love, the negative and gives love the positive. So this is good to know since I believe this statement to be true and correct, I owe her for changing my opinion because the view I previously had seemed to be lacking. This knowledge is useful. In what way…. Hmm. Lets see. It’s useful to know that for all the loving that is being done, it takes love to love. The negative love is a release of energy flowing to create positive love. The work it is to love, the pain, the trials, the experience, is an aspect that is a part of the whole. By that movement of energy I believe in (the negative to positive) adds that much more meaning. (+-) - = (+-) + and can not = 0 (+-) q < 0 < (+-) q hate<perception<love Co-creation, god I love it J Thank you vita for rocking my world

Your Type is INFP Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving Strength of the preferences % 44 25 38 33 so I am an Idealist Results #1 The Portrait of the Healer Idealist (iNFp) Take the Keirsey Sorter! RATIONAL IDEALIST ARTISAN GUARDIAN [Isabel Myers][Richard Gere][Mia Farrow] [Albert Schweitzer][Princess Diana] [Aldous Huxley][Audrey Hepburn][Karen Armstrong] Healer Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in striving for their ends, and informative and introverted in their interpersonal relations. Healer present a seemingly tranquil, and noticiably pleasant face to the world, and though to all appearances they might seem reserved, and even shy, on the inside they are anything but reserved, having a capacity for caring not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a favorite cause, and their fervent aim is to bring peace and integrity to their loved ones and the world. Healers have a profound sense of idealism derived from a strong personal morality, and they conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place. Indeed, to understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith, like Sir Galahad or Joan of Arc. Healers are found in only 1 percent of the general population, although, at times, their idealism leaves them feeling even more isolated from the rest of humanity. Healers seek unity in their lives, unity of body and mind, emotions and intellect, perhaps because they are likely to have a sense of inner division threaded through their lives, which comes from their often unhappy childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood, which, unfortunately, is discouraged or even punished by many parents. In a practical-minded family, required by their parents to be sociable and industrious in concrete ways, and also given down-to-earth siblings who conform to these parental expectations, Healers come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. Other types usually shrug off parental expectations that do not fit them, but not the Healers. Wishing to please their parents and siblings, but not knowing quite how to do it, they try to hide their differences, believing they are bad to be so fanciful, so unlike their more solid brothers and sisters. They wonder, some of them for the rest of their lives, whether they are OK. They are quite OK, just different from the rest of their family-swans reared in a family of ducks. Even so, to realize and really believe this is not easy for them. Deeply committed to the positive and the good, yet taught to believe there is evil in them, Healers can come to develop a certain fascination with the problem of good and evil, sacred and profane. Healers are drawn toward purity, but can become engrossed with the profane, continuously on the lookout for the wickedness that lurks within them. Then, when Healers believe thay have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. Others seldom detect this inner turmoil, however, for the struggle between good and evil is within the Healer, who does not feel compelled to make the issue public. Results #2 Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving by Joe Butt Profile: INFP Revision: 3.0 Date of Revision: 26 Feb 2005 "I remember the first albatross I ever saw. ... At intervals, it arched forth its vast archangel wings, as if to embrace some holy ark. Wondrous flutterings and throbbings shook it. Though bodily unharmed, it uttered cries, as some king's ghost in super natural distress. Through its inexpressible, strange eyes, methought I peeped to secrets not below the heavens. As Abraham before the angels, I bowed myself..." --(Herman Melville, Moby Dick) INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates (as with Anne of Green Gables's "bookcase girlfriend"--her own reflection) and whose stuffed animals come to life like the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse: "...Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand..." (the Skin Horse) INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity. Rest you, my enemy, Slain without fault, Life smacks but tastelessly Lacking your salt! Stuck in a bog whence naught May catapult me, Come from the grave, long-sought, Come and insult me! --(Steven Vincent Benet, Elegy for an Enemy) Their extreme depth of feeling is often hidden, even from themselves, until circumstances evoke an impassioned response: "I say, Queequeg! Why don't you speak? It's I--Ishmael." But all remained still as before. ... Something must have happened. Apoplexy! ... And running up after me, she caught me as I was again trying to force open the door. ... "Have to burst it open," said I, and was running down the entry a little, for a good start, when the landlady caught me, again vowing I should not break down her premises; but I tore from her, and with a sudden bodily rush dashed myself full against the mark.--(Melville, Moby Dick) Of course, not all of life is rosy, and INFPs are not exempt from the same disappointments and frustrations common to humanity. As INTPs tend to have a sense of failed competence, INFPs struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection, e.g., perfo rmance of duty for the greater cause. An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil. Luke Skywalker in Star Wars depicts this conflict in his struggle between the two sides of "The Force." Although the dark side must be reckoned with, the INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs. Some INFPs have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms. Brendan Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet is one example of this "de-jargoning" talent in action. Functional Analysis: Introverted Feeling INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of introverted Feeling. Being inward-turning, the natural attraction is away from world and toward essence and ideal. This introversion of dominant Feeling, receiving its data from extraverted intuition, must be the source of the quixotic nature of these usually gentle beings. Feeling is caught in the approach- avoidance bind between concern both for people and for All Creatures Great and Small, and a psycho-magnetic repulsion from the same. The "object," be it homo sapiens or a mere representation of an organism, is valued only to the degree that the object contains some measure of the inner Essence or greater Good. Doing a good deed, for example, may provide intrinsic satisfaction which is only secondary to the greater good of striking a blow against Man's Inhumanity to Mankind. Extraverted iNtuition Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of Feeling. What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good will. Intuition spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens pattern perception. It combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and gives rise to unusual skill in both character development and fluency with language--a sound basis for the development of literary facility. If INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs would be verbal artists. Introverted Sensing Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in the third position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent- mindedness and other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people awareness provides a balancing, mitigating effect. This introverted Sensing is somewhat categorical, a subdued version of SJ sensing. In the third position, however, it is easily overridden by the stronger functions. Extraverted Thinking The INFP may turn to inferior extraverted Thinking for help in focusing on externals and for closure. INFPs can even masquerade in their ESTJ business suit, but not without expending considerable energy. The inferior, problematic nature of Extraverted Thinking is its lack of context and proportion. Single impersonal facts may loom large or attain higher priority than more salient principles which are all but overlooked.

Rowling's marvelous series of Harry Potter novels) are asked to take part in the serious and scary business of the Sorting Ceremony. An ancient wizard's hat, patched and frayed, is placed upon a four-legged stool in the middle of the school's Great Hall. This is the Sorting Hat, and each new student is called, one by one, to approach the stool and put on the hat. The Sorting Hat is magically alive, you see, and its job is to listen to each student's thoughts for a few moments, trying to catch the note of his or her true nature, and then to call out, through a tear near the brim, which of the four residence houses the student will call home. Each house at Hogwarts has its own noble history and its own unique character -- almost exactly fitting the four temperaments, by the way -- and the Sorting Hat makes sure that the personality of the student and the character of the house are well suited to each other. # Slytherin is the house for students known as being 'resourceful...with a certain disregard for rules,' also 'shrewd' and 'cunning folk [who] use any means to achieve their ends.' Sounds suspiciously like Keirsey's Artisans. # Hufflepuff is home to students who are 'hard workers,' also 'just and loyal,...patient...true, and unafraid of toil.' Who but Keirsey's Guardians? THIS ONE IS ME-GRYFFINDOR- # Gryffindor welcomes those students known for their 'chivalry,' and who are willing to fight for what is 'right and good.' Very much like Keirsey's Idealists. # Ravenclaw is the 'wise old' house, reserved for only the 'cleverest' students, those of 'ready mind...wit and learning. Definitely Keirsey's Rationals.

The four are great friends, and over lunch or cocktails they compare notes on their dates and prospects, on their turn-ons and turn-offs, and on their hopes and dreams. This is the premise of HBO television's Emmy-award winning series, Sex and the City, and while the show is stylish, sexy, and smartly written, an important part of its appeal almost certainly comes from the archetypal differences in the four main characters. Samantha Jones is a PR executive who specializes in throwing parties for clients, which is perfect since she herself is a fun-loving Artisan who's always ready to party.... Charlotte York ... has a fairly old-fashioned, traditional attitude toward sex and the single girl. With a true Guardian sensibility....

Here again, and this time in a story for adults, the four temperaments seem to provide the patterns of personality in a quartet of characters. There is not one attitude toward dating and mating in Sex and the City, but four: Party Time, Home & Family, Romance, and Career. Just My Type Like the Sex and the City characters, most of us, when involved in dating, think about the men and women we meet as being, or not being, our "type." What do we mean? ....

Disneyland calls itself the "magic kingdom" and some of the magic must surely come from the park's basic four part layout. Adventureland The largest area of the park,...the theme here is the fun and excitement of exploring new lands and facing danger.... It's an Artisan's paradise. Main Street, USA Greets visitors with a nostalgic look, at the safe, settled, home-town spirit of middle America a century ago... Guardians feel right at home. THIS ONE IS ME-FANTASYLAND Fantasyland Disney's wonderful world of dreams and make-believe, of storybooks and fairy tales....Catches the fancy and the "wish upon a star" spirit of the Idealists.

Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations are usually teaching and counseling (NFJ mentoring), or conferring and tutoring (NFP advocating). And they would if they could be sages in one of these forms of social development. The Idealist temperament have an instinct for interpersonal integration, learn ethics with ever increasing zeal, sometimes become diplomatic leaders, and often speak interpretively and metaphorically of the abstract world of their imagination. They are proud of themselves in the degree they are empathic in action, respect themselves in the degree they are benevolent, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are authentic. Idealist types search for their unique identity, hunger for deep and meaningful relationships, wish for a little romance each day, trust their intuitive feelings implicitly, aspire for profundity. This is the "Identity Seeking Personality" -- credulous about the future, mystical about the past, and their preferred time and place are the future and the pathway. Educationally they go for the humanities, avocationally for ethics, and vocationally for personnel work. Social relationships: In their family interactions they strive for mutuality, provide spiritual intimacy for the mates, opportunity for fantasy for their children, and for themselves continuous self-renewal. Idealists do not abound, being as few as 8% and nor more than 10% of the population.

"The authors I have discussed in this volume portray the Idealist's search for the perfected life -- and the perfected mate -- with extraordinary insight and sympathy." -- Dr. Stephen Montgomery Volume Three features portraits of four Idealist (NF) types: The Monastic -- "Yes, that's right... love should come before logic ... Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life." -- Fyodor Dostoevsky The Advocate -- "I was frighten and disappointed: [the wedding] was over, but nothing extraordinary, nothing worthy of the Sacrament I had just recieved, had taken place in myself. 'Is that all?' I thought." -- Leo Tolstoy The Counselor -- "I believed he was naturally a man of better tendencies, higher principles, and purer tastes than such as circumstances had developed... I thought there were excellent materials in him." -- Charlotte Bronte The Teacher -- "She might yet be able to help him to the building of the rainbow bridge that should connect the prose in us with the passion." -- E.M. Forster TEST 2 The Idealist™ Temperament All Idealists (NFs) share the following core characteristics: * Idealists are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom. * Idealists pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic. * Idealists tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal journeys and human potentials. * Idealists make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders. Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self--always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials. Idealists are sure that friendly cooperation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. Conflict and confrontation upset them because they seem to put up angry barriers betrween people. Idealists dream of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and they have a unique talent for helping people get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things. Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere. More often, however, Idealists are the very soul of kindness. Particularly in their personal relationships, Idealists are without question filled with love and good will. They believe in giving of themselves to help others; they cherish a few warm, sensitive friendships; they strive for a special rapport with their children; and in marriage they wish to find a "soulmate," someone with whom they can bond emotionally and spiritually, sharing their deepest feelings and their complex inner worlds. General % Idealists are rare, making up no more than 25 to 30 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers. Specific % Idealists are rare, making up no more than 8 to 10 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers. The Four types of Idealists are: Healers (INFP) | Counselors (INFJ) | Champions (ENFP) | Teachers (ENFJ) OTHER RESULTS more specific 1---- Portrait of an INFP - Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving (Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition) The Idealist As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place. Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well. INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them. INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause". When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet. INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst. INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives. INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic. INFPs who function in their well-developed sides can accomplish great and wonderful things, which they will rarely give themselves credit for. Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs.

It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding. INFPs generally have the following traits: * Strong value systems * Warmly interested in people * Service-oriented, usually putting the needs of others above their own * Loyal and devoted to people and causes * Future-oriented * Growth-oriented; always want to be growing in a positive direction * Creative and inspirational * Flexible and laid-back, unless a ruling principle is violated * Sensitive and complex * Dislike dealing with details and routine work * Original and individualistic - "out of the mainstream" * Excellent written communication skills * Prefer to work alone, and may have problems working on teams * Value deep and authentic relationships * Want to be seen and appreciated for who they are The INFP is a special, sensitive individual who needs a career which is more than a job. The INFP needs to feel that everything they do in their lives is in accordance with their strongly-felt value systems, and is moving them and/or others in a positive, growth-oriented direction. They are driven to do something meaningful and purposeful with their lives. The INFP will be happiest in careers which allow them to live their daily lives in accordance with their values, and which work towards the greater good of humanity. It's worth mentioning that nearly all of the truly great writers in the world have been INFPs. The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an INFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed. Possible Career Paths for the INFP: * Writers * Counselors / Social Workers * Teachers / Professors * Psychologists * Psychiatrists * Musicians * Clergy / Religious Workers 3---- INFP Relationships INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world. They appear to be tranquil and peaceful to others, with simple desires. In fact, the INFP internally feels his or her life intensely. In the relationship arena, this causes them to have a very deep capacity for love and caring which is not frequently found with such intensity in the other types. The INFP does not devote their intense feelings towards just anyone, and are relatively reserved about expressing their inner-most feelings. They reserve their deepest love and caring for a select few who are closest to them. INFPs are generally laid-back, supportive and nurturing in their close relationships. With Introverted Feeling dominating their personality, they're very sensitive and in-tune with people's feelings, and feel genuine concern and caring for others. Slow to trust others and cautious in the beginning of a relationship, an INFP will be fiercely loyal once they are committed. With their strong inner core of values, they are intense individuals who value depth and authenticity in their relationships, and hold those who understand and accept the INFP's perspectives in especially high regard. INFPs are usually adaptable and congenial, unless one of their ruling principles has been violated, in which case they stop adapting and become staunch defenders of their values. They will be uncharacteristically harsh and rigid in such a situation. INFP Strengths Most INFPs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationship issues: * Warmly concerned and caring towards others * Sensitive and perceptive about what others are feeling * Loyal and committed - they want lifelong relationships * Deep capacity for love and caring * Driven to meet other's needs * Strive for "win-win" situations * Nurturing, supportive and encouraging * Likely to recognize and appreciate other's need for space * Able to express themselves well * Flexible and diverse INFP Weaknesses Most INFPs will exhibit the following weaknesses with regards to relationship issues: * May tend to be shy and reserved * Don't like to have their "space" invaded * Extreme dislike of conflict * Extreme dislike of criticism * Strong need to receive praise and positive affirmation * May react very emotionally to stressful situations * Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship * Have difficulty scolding or punishing others * Tend to be reserved about expressing their feelings * Perfectionistic tendancies may cause them to not give themselves enough credit * Tendency to blame themselves for problems, and hold everything on their own shoulders INFPs as Lovers "To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May INFPs feels tremendous loyalty and commitment to their relationships. With the Feeling preference dominating their personality, harmony and warm feelings are central to the INFP's being. They feel a need to be in a committed, loving relationship. If they are not involved in such a relationship, the INFP will be either actively searching for one, or creating one in their own minds. INFPs tendency to be idealistic and romantically-minded may cause them to fantasize frequently about a "more perfect" relationship or situation. They may also romanticize their mates into having qualities which they do not actually possess. Most INFPs have a problem with reconciling their highly idealistic and romantic views of life with the reality of their own lives, and so they are constantly somewhat unsettled with themselves and with their close personal relationships. However, the INFP's deeply-felt, sincere love for their mates and their intense dislike of conflict keeps the INFP loyal to their relationships, in spite of their troubles achieving peace of mind. Unlike other types who tend to hold their mates up on a pedastal, the INFP's tendency to do so does not really turn into a negative thing in the relationship. INFPs hold tightly to their ideals, and work hard at constantly seeing their mates up on that pedastal. The frequent INFP result is a strongly affirming, proud and affectionate attitude towards their mates which stands the test of time. INFPs are not naturally interested in administrative matters such as bill-paying and house-cleaning, but they can be very good at performing these tasks when they must. They can be really good money managers when they apply themselves. Sexually, the INFP is likely to be initially slow to open up to their mates. Once their trust has been earned, the INFP will view sexual intimacy as an opportunity for expressing their deep-seated love and affection. More than the actual sexual act, they will value giving and receiving love and sweet words. With their tendency to enjoy serving others, they may value their mates satisfaction above their own. One real problem area for the INFP is their intensive dislike of conflict and criticism. The INFP is quick to find a personal angle in any critical comment, whether or not anything personal was intended. They will tend to take any sort of criticism as a personal attack on their character, and will usually become irrational and emotional in such situations. This can be a real problem for INFPs who are involved with persons who have Thinking and Judging preferences. "TJ"s relate to others with a objective, decisive attitude that frequently shows an opinion on the topic of conversation. If the opinion is negative, the TJ's attitude may be threatening to the INFP, who will tend to respond emotionally to the negativity and be vaguely but emphatically convinced that the negativity is somehow the INFP's fault. For INFPs with extremely dominant Feeling preferences who have not developed their Intuitive sides sufficiently to gather good data for their decision making processes, their dislike of conflict and criticism can foretell doom and gloom for intimate relationships. These INFPs will react with extreme emotional distress to conflict situations, and will not know what to do about it. Since they will have no basis for determining what action to take, they will do whatever they can to get rid of the conflict - which frequently means lashing out irrationally at others, or using guilt manipulation to get their mates to give them the positive support that they crave. This kind of behavior does not bode well for healthy, long-term relationships. Individuals who recognize this tendency in themselves should work on their ability to take criticism objectively rather than personally. They should also try to remember that conflict situations are not always their fault, and they're definitely not the end of the world. Conflict is a fact of life, and facing it and addressing it immediately avoids having to deal with it in the future, after it has become a much larger problem. INFPs are very aware of their own space, and the space of others. They value their personal space, and the freedom to do their own thing. They will cherish the mate who sees the INFP for who they are, and respects their unique style and perspectives. The INFP is not likely to be overly jealous or possessive, and is likely to respect their mate's privacy and independence. In fact, the INFP is likely to not only respect their mate's perspectives and goals, but to support them with loyal firmness. In general, INFPs are warmly affirming and loving partners who make the health of their relationships central in their lives. Although cautious in the beginning, they become firmly loyal to their committed relationships, which are likely to last a lifetime. They take their relationships very seriously, and will put forth a great deal of effort into making them work. Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, INFP's natural partner is the ENFJ, or the ESFJ. INFP's dominant function of Introverted Feeling is best matched with a partner whose dominant function is Extraverted Feeling. The INFP/ENFJ combination is ideal, because it shares the Sensing way of peceiving, but the INFP/ESFJ combination is also a good match. How did we arrive at this? INFPs as Parents "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth... Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran INFPs are "natural" parents. They accept and enjoy the parental role, seeing it as the natural extension of their value systems. They make use of the parental role for developing and defining their values further, and consider it their task to pass their values on to their children. They take their role quite seriously. Warm, affirming, and flexible, the INFP generally makes a gentle and easy-going parent in many respects. INFPs do not like conflict situations, and will keep themselves flexible and diverse to promote a positive, conflict-free environment in their home. The INFP is not naturally prone to dole out punishment or discipline, and so is likely to adapt to their mate's disciplinary policy, or to rely on their mates to administer discipline with the children. In the absence of a mating parent, the INFP will need to make a conscious effort of creating a structure for their children to live within. Although the INFP dislikes punishing others, they hold strong values and will not tolerate the violation of a strongly-held belief. If they feel that their child has truly committed a wrong, the INFP parent will not have a problem administering discipline. They will directly confront the child, stubbornly digging in their heels and demanding recourse. The INFP parent is likely to value their children as individuals, and to give them room for growth. They will let the children have their own voice and place in the family. Extremely loving and devoted parents, INFPs will fiercely protect and support their children. If there is an issue involving "taking sides", you can bet the INFP will always be loyal to their children. INFPs are usually remembered by their children as loving, patient, devoted, and flexible parents. INFPs as Friends INFPs are warm and caring individuals who highly value authenticity and depth in their personal relationships. They are usually quite perceptive about other people's feelings and motives, and are consequently able to get along with all sorts of different people. However, the INFP will keep their true selves reserved from others except for a select few, with whom they will form close and lasting friendships. With their high ideals, they are likely to be drawn to other iNtuitive Feelers for their closer friendships. With their strong need for harmony and dislike of conflict, INFPs may feel threatened by people with strong Judging and Thinking preferences. Although they're likely to be able to work well professionally with such individuals, they may have difficulty accepting or appreciating them on a personal level. They generally feel a kinship and affinity with other Feeling types. INFPs will be valued by their confidantes as genuine, altruistic, deep, caring, original individuals. 4---- Personal Growth Perhaps the most important realization that an individual can make in their quest for personal growth is that there is no single formula that defines the path to personal success. We all have different goals and priorities, which means that different activities and attitudes will make us feel good about ourselves. We also have different natural strengths and weaknesses that are a part of our inherent personality type. How then, as individuals, can we feel successful in our lives? Understand What's Important to You Each personality type has a different idea of what it means to be successful. Self-knowledge is one common goal that will help everyone achieve personal success. So many people are hung up on somebody else's idea of what it means to be successful, and they are unaware of what is truly important to them. This is completely normal. We all have important role-models and influencers in our lives who may have basic values that are quite different from our own. If this is the case, it's important to recognize that the discrepancy between what we have been taught is truly important and what we personally believe to be truly important is due to a difference in perspective. If we spend our time and effort trying to meet somebody else's idea of success, and ignore or belittle any conflicting messages from our own psyche, then we will find ourselves exhausted and unhappy. Realizing what is truly important to us is a major step towards achieving personal success. Recognize Your Weaknesses Without Hiding Behind Them While improving our self-knowledge and realizing our true goals can be very liberating, we should not discard the rules of the society in which we live. We must recognize that other people's value systems are no less important than our own. And we must recognize and accept that we live in a society in which certain personality types and behaviors are more suited towards particular tasks. This is the second key that will open the door towards personal growth. For example, there are situations in which it is more appropriate and effective to show compassion and caring (Feeling), rather than impersonal logic (Thinking). Likewise, there are situations that call for using impersonal logic to make a decision, in which the more subjective viewpoint of the Feeling function is inappropriate and ineffective. Persons with a preference for Feeling will have a natural advantage over Thinkers in situations that require compassion and awareness of other's emotions. Conversely, persons with a preference for Thinking will have a natural advantage over Feelers in situations that require the ability to make a decision based on impersonal data. As we learn about our personality type and the types of others, we are empowered with an understanding of why people react differently in different situations. When put into the context of Psychological Type, we can better accept and understand people's behaviors that are different from ours. These insights are extremely useful and powerful to us as individuals. However, if we are concerned with growing as individuals, we must take care not to use personality type as an excuse for our inappropriate behavior. While it's powerful and useful to notice that another person's inappropriate behavior may be due to their personality type, we cannot use the same reasoning on ourselves. We should recognize that our personality type has weaknesses, but we must use that knowledge to conquer those weaknesses rather than to excuse poor behavior. We cannot be responsible for other people's behavior, but we can control our own. Accordingly, if we notice that someone seems to be unable to make an impersonal decision that is isolated from human perspective, we should say to ourselves, "Ah ha, here is a Feeler. This person does not use Thinking well, and that is why they're behaving this way." Yet when we as Feelers are presented with a situation that requires an impersonal approach, we should NOT say to ourselves "I am a Feeler, and can't be expected to make decisions based purely on impersonal facts and logic." This kind of rationalization for behavior is certainly an easy way out of a situation, but it enforces the weakness, making it weaker and weaker still. Strive for Balance Most of the weaknesses associated with any given personality type are a result of that type's dominant function overtaking the personality to the extent that the other functions become slaves to the dominant function. Although it is natural for every personality to be ruled by its dominant function, it becomes a problem when the supporting functions are not allowed to develop fully on their own because they are too busy "serving the master". In such cases, a personality can become quite imbalanced. A situation in which the dominant function of a personality completely overshadows the other personality functions is analogous to a kingdom that is ruled by an overbearing king who requires absolute servitude. Imagine such a king sitting down to dinner in his castle. He keeps all of his servants running about to bring him dinner, and requires that they serve him fully (disregarding their own needs) until he is completed sated. His Foreign Minister, who is expected at an important affair at a neighboring kingdom, finds himself pouring ale. His Minister of Domestic Affairs, rather than addressing the issue of a failing economy, slices roast turkey. His staff grabs food for themselves here and there, but never get what they really need or want, and are consequently unsatisfied, malnourished, and underdeveloped. The issues that the staff should be taking care of are left undone, because they never finish their primary task of serving the king. The king's immediate needs are being met, and so he is tolerably happy, but he is an ineffective king. As far as he knows, everything and everybody exists simply to serve him. He has no concept of Success beyond his daily needs. Since he cannot see beyond his own needs, the entire kingdom suffers. Likewise, a personality that has developed with a goal of serving the dominant function above all other considerations often results in a person who is imbalanced. In severe cases, the weaknesses associated with the given type are often quite apparent to others, and overshadow the individual's natural strengths. Such a drastic imbalance is not common, and may be the result of continuous and extreme stress. Most people will experience times in their lives during which they are stressed to the point of serious imbalance. People who experience this constantly have issues that need to be dealt with, and should seek help. Much more commonly, we see individuals who exhibit both the strengths and weaknesses of their type. It is natural and healthy that each personality type is ruled by a dominant function, and that the other functions support the ruling function. We don't seek to change anyone's natural self, or to achieve a perfect balance amongst a personality's functions. By definition, a kingdom needs a king in order to exist, and a personality needs a dominant function. However, a kingdom with a well-developed and effective king (the dominant function), who has well-trained and educated advisors (the supporting functions), will thrive more than the kingdom ruled by a neglectful king who is supported by inexperienced advisors. As we can see, Balance and Success are relative terms. They have different meaning for each of the sixteen personality types. One statement using these terms is true for all types: Balance is the key to Success. Opening the Door So how do we go about realizing what's truly important to us? How do we recognize our weaknesses, and learn not to hide behind them? How do we become balanced? How do we open that magical door that will show us the way to personal growth and success? There is no quickie scheme that will make you a successful person. Psychological Type is a powerful aid in our quest for excellence, but it is not the actual solution. It is a model that will help you to expand your understanding of human nature. An improved understanding of yourself and others will help you to find, follow or expand your path. An awareness and acceptance of the fact that one personality function may be more effective than another function in a given situation will help you to understand the relevance of personal growth to your life. Carl Jung identified a process of personal growth that he called individuation, which is essentially the conscious realization of your true self, beyond the Ego that is presented by your conscious self. Our efforts to help people develop themselves is essentially the effort to help them to realize that their personal perspectives and conscious ideas are only a small part of who they are, and that the more they try to develop and defend this superficial "self", the further they get away from their true Self. This realization helps a psyche in many concrete ways, and is also a positive step towards promoting a psyche that is open to the process of individuation. For the purposes of making this realization accessible to the general public, our writings are mostly void of complex theoretical discussion. MORE RESULTS-ANOTHER VIEW ntuitive-Ethical Intratim - INFp (The Romantic) Based upon original work by Victor Gulenko with some alterations INFps mainly have slim figures, however well-built INFps are not that uncommon. Their gait is usually graceful and full of poise as they like to project an image of self-worthiness. Their eyes vary from large to small, however if they are isolated a characteristic pattern emerges. Narrow eyes give the impression that the person is smiling whereas wider eyes convey a feeling of curiosity. During conversation INFps have a tendency to maintain eye contact and to touch their interlocutors hand. They often have a very noticeable shy grin that appears when they worried or excited, or when someone focuses other's attention on them. INFps have a very good understanding of harmony and know well how to successfully combine clothes and accessories, resulting in their characteristic, elegant appearance. Sometimes they may give the impression that they are somewhat foppish. This applies to both male and female. INFps show interest in a varied range of the unusual and original. They are also inclined to small talk. It can sometimes prove difficult for others to hold INFps attention during interaction. They may unexpectedly disrupt a conversation by commenting in such a way as to give the impression that they are not following the subject. This can confuse or puzzle others. INFps enjoy interesting or humorous anecdotes and stories. They often recall and share notable episodes from their own life experiences. In situations where they are required to give a answer they often delay the inevitable until the last moment even if they have reached a decision by evading and camouflaging their intent. INFps are inclined to make empty promises, always finding excuses to justify their lack of responsibility. They like to make others aware of their lack or practicality. However, INFps have a good instinct for commercial and business matters showing great flexibility. This quality coupled with their ability to choose reliable deputies helps them to maintain a firm grip on positions of power. INFps have the ability to positively console people who are upset or worried by helping them to look to the future with optimism. With strangers INFps behave gallantly and tactfully, showing good manners and education. However among friends and family they can be very up front sometimes behaving frivolously. They enjoy baiting others in a playful manner in order to create an easy and tension-free atmosphere. At home INFps can be very frivolous and capricious, showing great stubbornness in getting what they want, sometimes creating dramas and scenes. These emotional outbursts are usually short and disappear without consequences. Generally they have very flexible emotions which they control consciously. INFps are usually uneconomical in financial matters. They find it difficult to refuse their whimsical desires. This can often lead them into financial difficulties and can result in them having to borrow money if they do not have sufficient money reserves. They like an extravagant style of life which is why their demands often outweigh their resources. INFps more than any other type are inclined to marry because of wealth instead of love. INFps will often accumulate their complaints in order release them all in one go in an appropriate situation. In fact, people who show concern about INFps health and well being and who listen to their problems are very much appreciated. NEXT RESULT I N F P INTROVERT INTUITIVE FEELING PERCEPTIVE Profile · Occupations Strengths Weaknesses Careers Needs In The Workplace Some of My Thoughts... INTROVERTED-Applies to the way we interact with the world. Introverts are people whose thoughts and ideas are drawn inward. This type scan the external environment and make evaluations based on their inner ideas and mental concepts. They derive their energies from these inner ideas. It is important for them to take time to study and reflect on a subject to get the right idea, before taking action. This type is able to grasp and accept a moral principle in its abstract form. Introverts are territorial and desire space. They draw their energies from activities where they can be alone to meditate or activities that require few people. Introverts can experience a sense of loneliness when they are in a crowd. Some are the most alone when surrounded by people, especially strangers. This type can enjoy being around people, but it can drain their energies. They need to find quiet places and solitary activities where they can meditate and recharge. Many introverts achieve the ability to extravert, but they never become extraverts. Introverts enjoy their private time, and if this is easily invaded, they learn to develop a high level of concentration so as to shut out the external world. Many view them as great listeners, but they may view others as taking advantage of this. They may have problems expressing themselves and are sometimes labeled by others as shy. Many times they will have to rehearse things before they say them. This type may wish to get their ideas out more forcefully and like to state their thoughts and feelings without interruption. They resent ones that blurt out something they were just about to say. INTUITIVE-Applies to the way we take in information. Intuitive types look for the possibilities in life. What is possible is always in front of them, pulling at them like a magnet. Intuitive types are attracted to fantasy, fiction, and the future.

Intuitive tends to think of several things at once and because of this are sometimes labeled as absentminded. This type likes to look at the big picture. They try to read between the lines, not accepting things at face value.

They will take a comment back if they say something that offends someone else. Feeling types are usually friendly, tactful, and enjoy contributing to the welfare of others. They are personable, being more interested in people than in things. PERCEPTIVE-Applies to the way we structure our lives. Perceptive types put much value on the open ended. They do not like to come to a conclusion unless forced to and then may still be uncomfortable with its closure. Being aware of how many factors are involved and how much is still unknown, they are terrified at making a rash decision. They hope they can solve a problem simply by understanding it better, by seeing it from all sides and eventually being able to see the thing to do. They love to explore the unknown. They don't like to be pinned down, to plan a task, to make definite statements. They prefer to be spontaneous, to live for the moment. They like to make-work fun or they lose interest in it. They don't believe in deadlines, but use them instead as alarm clocks allowing them to pick up spurts of energy at the last minute and accomplish the task. In conversations they can jump from subject to subject, depending on whatever enters their mind, or whatever enters the room. PERSONALITY PROFILES INFPs-live their lives focusing on their values. They know what is important to them and protect this at all cost. Their values focus on the optimistic verses the pessimistic, although they are often conscience of the negative. To understand the INFP is to understand their cause. They can work tirelessly toward a cause that deems worthy. They will quietly let others know what is important to them, and rarely will they give up on their purpose. They will go along with the crowd, sometimes even letting decisions be made for them, until someone violates their value system. Then they will dig their heels into the ground and will speak up for their feelings, insisting their values be followed. INFPs are withdrawn and are sometimes hard to get to know. Some may view them as shy. But those that take the time to get to know them will find them warm and gentle, with a surprising sense of humor. They care deeply for those they consider special friends. Putting forth-unusual sacrifices to help such individuals. They often have a subtle, tragic motif running through their lives -- inner pain and unease which others seldom detect. INFPs are creative and are constantly seeking out new possibilities. They have a gift with language and usually will express this by means of writing. Their intuitive preference supplies the imagination and their feeling preference giving them the need to communicate. They are gifted at interpreting symbols - being drawn to metaphors and similes. Because of these gifts they often write in lyric fashion INFPs work must be more than just a paycheck, it must be fun and must contribute to something that is important to their values. To be the most productive they need a sense of purpose behind their job. They often have to look at the large picture in order to see how specific programs fit in. They are adaptable to changes and to new ideas. They work well with others being conscience of others feelings and relating with most, though not always vocally. They like to work with others who are cooperative and who share their same set of values. They strive for harmony and dislike conflict. INFPs treasure their privacy and may keep a lot to themselves. They need time and space for reflection. Others usually get along well with them, although they may not know them intimately. INFPs may not always be organized. They may tend to lose things or to forget appointments. Only when they see the importance of organization in a task will they strive to work at it in an organized way to get it done. They can be extremely patient with complicated issues, but may become impatient with routine and details. INFPs strive for perfection, and this is especially the case when using their feeling preference. They may have trouble finishing a project, because they never find it is good enough. Even when the project must be finished, they may feel the need to go back and improve on it later. Reluctantly INFPs may accept leadership roles. They lead with their values being their guide. They do not aggressively lead people, but rather work with people to develop their talents and to independently achieve their goals. They have a hard time criticizing others, but will try to motivate them by their appreciation and praise. When conflicts arise, they avoid directly approaching the situation, but would rather wait for the others to work out the situation themselves. INFPs view leisure activity as very important. However they may have a difficulty separating it from work. If they have a special skill they use at work, they may use this skill in their leisure time to help friends, family or those in need. When they are interested in pursuing a new leisure activity, they may spend a great deal of time researching this activity. Many INFPs enjoy activities that are done alone such as reading, listening to music, or gardening. This gives them the opportunity for reflection and meditation. They may also enjoy social activities with those they feel close to. When they want to be social they can be outgoing, charming and quiet funny, making them a pleasure to have around. INFPs present a calm and pleasant face to the world around them. Because they are reserved, they may be over looked. But to those that know them they have a view into their warmth and concern and their deep commitments to their values.

IN THE WORKPLACE INFPs enjoy working alone, treasuring the opportunity for contemplation. They enjoy variety in whatever they do. They enjoy taking on new projects and activities, but have a tendency to take on too many things at once. They get a sense of satisfaction from the fact that nothing is constant, which means they can positively influence a cause in a positive or constructive way. INFPs are loyal and industrious team players. They work hard to achieve team harmony and make their work meaningful. They are encouraged from approval from others, but when criticized they may be deeply hurt, taking such criticism personally. INFPs can be powerful leaders when dealing with people and drawing people together to achieve their purpose. INFPs lead with people in mind. They look to the individual growth and development and will look for a way to encourage and support such growth. They may tend to relate with a few special people, being drawn to their causes and goals. They quietly encourage these individuals to achieve whatever they set out to do. INFPs manage in a very quiet unassuming way, getting personally involved with individuals within the organization. They are at their best dealing with people, drawing out their outstanding qualities. They are naturally tuned into the motivations and emotions of others, having a gift at understanding individual differences. Because INFPs are focused in on people's emotions and motivations, they become aware of and get involved in their co-workers personal problems. They may feel obligated at resolving disagreements and conflicts among employees, trying to create an atmosphere of harmony. INFPs listen carefully and intently to others, giving them individual attentions and responding with the proper feedback for the needed situation. They masterfully show appreciation and give praise when they find the appropriate opportunity. they direct their praise toward human accomplishment. They are alert to individual potential and look for ways to help individuals meet that potential. BRIEF RESULT INFPs are quiet, creative , sensitive and perceptive souls who often strike others as shy, reserved and cool. These folks have a rare capacity for deep caring and commitment--both to the people and causes they idealise. INFPs guide their behavior by a strong inner sense of values, rather than by convential logic and reason. Forced to cope with this facts-and-figures 'real' world we inhabit, INFPs may appear to have been imported from another galaxy! They gravitate toward creative or human service careers which allow them to use their instinctive sense of empathy and remarkable communication skills. Strongly religious, spiritual or philosophical people, INFPs may see the purpose of their lives as an inner journey, quest or personal unfolding. More practical or rational types may tend to discredit the INFP's sources or understanding as mystical. The search for a soulmate is a preoccupation for many INFPs , who must balance their need for privacy and peace with their yearning for human connection. If there seems to be an air of sadness INFP's spirit, blame it on this type's longing for the perfect in all things. -Unknown YET MORE RESULTS- INFP - The Dreamer Profile by Sandra Krebs Hirsch and Jean Kummerow INFPs focus deeply on their values, and they devote their lives to pursuing the ideal. They often draw people together around a common purpose and work to find a place for each person within the group. They are creative, and they seek new ideas and possibilities. They quietly push for what is important to them, and they rarely give up. While they have a gentleness about them and a delightful sense of humor, they may be somewhat difficult to get to know and may be overlooked by others. They are at their best making their world more in line with their internal vision of perfection. Living INFP children often create their own fantasy world and live very much within it. They may daydream about what is important to them, and sometimes others wonder if they are in touch with reality. They often get lost in their thoughts and books, and may develop a special ability in communicating, such as writing. They are somewhat reserved, especially in new situations. INFPs decide early on what is important for them, what is of value. They tend to rely on themselves for direction and are reticent to ask others for help. They would rather do things themselves, to make sure they are done properly. INFPs have found this to be both a strength and a curse. Depending only on themselves and being careful not to show mistakes to others is important. As teens, INFPs may have a bit of a rebellious streak. They may argue with those who hold different values than they do. They are also likely to have a small, close set of friends with whom they share good times. In the comfort of those close relationships, they can relax and are often quite entertaining, since they see the world in a different and special way. Their sense of humour is readily apparent. However, unless an INFP finds an appreciation for his or her uniqueness and personal values, he or she may feel like an odd person out. When they set their minds on things, INFPs are not likely to give up easily, yet because of their outward gentleness, they do not show their determination. They may not take a direct path, but somehow they reach their dreams. As young adults, INFPs may have some difficulty finding the ideal career and the ideal mate, in part because of that very word 'ideal'. They have a vision in mind of what they want, yet reality may not follow suit. They may make several starts and stops in their career until they find a comfortable place for themselves. INFPs have a need for perfection in connection with their personal values. They become frustrated with those who dwell on trivialities. INFPs need a purpose beyond the paycheck. They become burned out easily if their job does not fit their value system; they may not feel good enough about what they have achieved and, as a result, may undervalue themselves and their contributions. In retirement, INFPs need to look back and feel that they have led a worthwhile life that has made a difference. They want time for a variety of activities, including travel. They may also be very attached to their family and enjoy special visits with them. Learning INFPs learn best in flexible situations where they know the teacher takes a personal interest in them. They like to be able to interact with their peers, but not too much so. They want to feel free to dig into subjects that are of interest to them. Having both flexibility and creativity rewarded is encouraging to them. While they may not enjoy deadlines, if they value the assignment, they will meet those deadlines. Deadlines may force INFPs to decide that their work is 'good enough' to turn in. Subjects that hold a great deal of interest for them are learned readily. They will often do extra work in their attempt to learn as much as possible about something of interest. And they often read assignments carefully and them work their creativity into the given framework of the assignment. Thus it may appear that they did not pay careful attention to the details of the assignment in their reinterpretation. It is best if they have teachers who appreciate their unique approach and who do not hold them to the letter of the law. Working At work, INFPs contribute their creativity, their value system, and their ability to work with others. They are able to see the larger picture and how specific programs fit in. They do not dwell on the trivialities or the details. Their job must be fun, although not racous, and it must be meaningful to them. They need a strong purpose in their work. They want to be recognized and valued, without undue attention given to them. They may become embarrassed when make the center of attention. As a result, they may undersell their strengths in order to avoid being singled out and made to feel conspicuous. They would rather have their worth be noticed gradually over time. INFPs like to work with cooperative people committed to the same values that they are. They can become bothered when they see others working at cross purposes, especially when conflict is overt. They do not like competition or bureaucracy. They need privacy. Calm and quiet appeal to them, as does time and space for reflection. People usually like working with INFPs even though they may not know them well. INFPs are quite disorganized. But when tasks at hand are important and best done in an organized way, INFPs strive to do so. Practicality is not a driving force for INFPs. Things that traditionally belong together may not be placed together because the INFP does not see it as necessary. They have trouble finishing what they start because of their perfectionistic nature. When they do finish a project, they may not consider it done 'for good.' Projects can always be improved upon, revised, and reworked, and therefore INFPs find it hard to bring tasks to closure. Because they are able to visualize the finished product long before it is done, the actual completion is of less importance. INFPs prefer occupations in which they can be involved in making the world better. Having their heart in their work is important to them. These occupations also allow for an element of creativity and flexibility. INFPs are particularly interested to be counselor, editor, education consultant, English teacher, fine arts teacher, journalist, psychologist, religious educator, social scientist, social worker, teacher, writer, and other occupations that engage their values. Leading The INFP leadership style is subtle, gentle, indirect, and inclusive of others. INFPs do not confront people head-on, but rather work with them and through them to get the job done. Their style is not an aggressive one but is highly persistent; only reluctantly do INFPs assume leadership roles. They lead with their values in mind, and these guide them. They prefer not to take a hands-on approach with others but to allow them to achieve in independent ways. They are facilitative rather than directive. They encourage others by appreciation and praise. Critiquing others does not come easily to them. INFPs seldom confront situations directly, in part because they do not like conflict. Whenever possible, they would rather wait for a situation to work itself out, since they trust that people will work things through. They do not like following all the rules and regulations, but they are not overtly rebellious. They seek to get things done in their own style. Leisure Leisure activities are very important to INFPs, but at times it is difficult for them to separate work from play. When a new leisure pursuit is found, INFPs typically do a great deal of research. They may read many books and make several phone calls to dig for information. Many of the INFPs' leisure activities are done alone --- reading, listening to music, and gardening are some activities likely to appeal to them. Reflection time and the opportunity to make sure things are right are important. INFPs often enjoy leisure pursuits with loved ones as well. When they want to be sociable, they can be exceedingly charming and outgoing. Their flexibility, gentleness, and sense of humour can make them quite popular in social situations. Loving For the INFP, love is a very deep commitment, and one that is not easily attained. They have ideals, and therefore reality may be carefully scrutinized. With their ideal firmly envisioned, the first date with that special person is carefully planned and prepared for, and often every aesthetic thing is taken care of. The flowers are in place, the right wine is ordered, and the proper meal is prepared. INFPs may have difficulty sharing their feelings about others. They keep so many of those feelings inside that they may forget to tell their partner how much they love and appreciate them. They also need reminders of their partner's love. When things go wrong in a relationship, the INFP takes it to heart but does not readily discuss it with others. They may not be willing to communicate to let others know how they are feeling. When scorned, they are very hurt and may overreact in an almost maudlin way. Profile by David Keirsey INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world and are seen as reticent and even shy. Although they demonstrate a cool reserve toward others, inside they are anything but distant. They have a capacity for caring which is not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a cause. One word that captures this type is idealistic. At times, this characteristic leaves them feeling isolated, especially since INFPs are found in only 1 percent of the general population. INFPs have a profound sense of honor derived from internal values. The INFP is the Prince or Princess of mythology, the King's Champion, Defender of the Faith, and guardian of the castle. Sir Galahad and Joan of Arc are male and female prototypes of an INFP. To understand INFPs their cause must be understood, for they are willing to make unusual sacrifices for someone or something believed in. INFPs seek unity in their lives, unity of body and mind, emotions and intellect. They often have a subtle tragic motif running through their lives, but others seldom detect this inner minor key. The deep commitment of INFPs to the positive and the good causes them to be alert to the negative and the evil, which can take the form of a fascination with the profane. Thus INFPs may live a paradox, drawn toward purity and unity but looking over the shoulder toward the sullied and desecrated. When INFPs believe that they have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. The atonement, however, is within the INFP, who does not feel compelled to make public the issue. INFPs prefer the valuing process over the purely logical. They respond to the beautiful versus the ugly, the good versus the bad, and the moral versus the immoral. Impressions are gained in a fluid, global, diffused way. Metaphors and similes come naturally but may be strained. INFPs have a gift for interpreting symbols, as well as creating them, and thus often write in lyric fashion. They may demonstrate a tendency to take deliberate liberties with logic. Unlike the NT, they see logic as something optional. INFPs also may, at times, assume an unwarranted familiarity with a domain, because their global, impressionistic way of dealing with reality may have failed to register a sufficient number of details for mastery. INFPs may have difficulty thinking in terms of a conditional framework; they see things as either real or fancied, and are impatient with the hypothetical. Career At work, INFPs are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are well aware of people and their feelings, and relate well to most, albeit with some psychological distance. INFPs dislike telephone interruptions and work well alone, as well as with others. They are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. They can make errors of fact, but seldom of values. Their career choices may be toward the ministry, missionary work, college teaching, psychiatry, architecture, psychology-and away from business. They seem willing and usually are able to apply themselves scholastically to gain the necessary training for professional work, often doing better in college than in high school. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, as do the other NF's, a remarkable facility for languages. Often they hear a calling to go forth into the world to help others; they seem willing to make the necessary personal sacrifices involved in responding to that call, even if it means asking others to do likewise. INFPs can make outstanding novelists and character actors, for they are able to efface their own personalities in their portrayal of a character in a way other types cannot. Home As mates, INFPs have a deep commitment to their pledges. They like to live in harmony and may go to great lengths to avoid constant conflict. They are sensitive to the feelings of others and enjoy pleasing those they care for. They may find it difficult to reconcile a romantic, idealized concept of conjugal life with the realities of everyday living with another person. At times, in fact, INFPs may seem fearful of exuberant attainment, afraid that current advances may have to be paid for with later sacrifices. The devil is sure to get his due if the INFP experiences too freely of success, or beauty, or health, or wealth, or knowledge. And thus, INFPs guard against giving way to relaxing in the happiness of mating. They may have difficulty in expressing affection directly, but communicate interest and affection indirectly. For INFPs, their home is their castle. As parents, they are fierce in protection of home and family and are devoted to the welfare of family members. They have a strong capacity for devotion, sympathy, and adaptability in their relationships, and thus are easy to live with. They are loyal to their family and, although they may dream of greener pastures, if they stray into those pastures they soon locate the nettles. The almost preconscious conviction that pleasure must be paid for with pain can cause a sense of uneasiness in the family system of an INFP, who may transmit an air of being ever-vigilant against invasion. In the routine rituals of daily living, INFPs tend to be compliant and may even prefer having decisions made on their behalf, until their value system is violated! Then INFPs dig in their heels and will not budge from ideals. Life with an INFP will go gently along for long periods, until an ideal is struck and violated. Then an INFP will resist and insist. Midlife At midlife INFPs may want to increase mastery of intellectual interests, perhaps taking advanced degrees in a chosen profession. They also may want to explore the sensual side of their natures, expanding their aesthetic appreciations to include physical sensory appreciations. Extending social activities and contacts may offer new horizons for INFPs, but they will have to guard against overextension psychologically, for before, during, and after midlife the vulnerability and sensitivity of the INFP will continue, and he or she can easily become emotionally drained. Mates The INFP questor probably has more problems in mating than any other type. Let us be mindful of the relative infrequency: about 1 1/4 percent, say two and a half million people in the USA. Their problem lies in their primary outlook on life. "Life," says the INFP, "is a very serious matter." Now when a person makes his life a kind of crusade or a series of crusades, then there's bound to be some taxing of the spouse. If the INFP takes the other tack, the "monastic" (and the same person can tack back and forth-now a crusader, now a monastic), the spouse will find himself again taxed, trying to draw the monastic out of his dark meditative cave. The opposites of our crusading monastic seem well equipped for this alternating-phase taxation: ENTJ and ESTJ. Both are anchored in the real world with a vengeance. The ENTJ marshaling his or her forces toward distant objectives, the ESTJ administrating in a solid, dependable, and traditional way whatever is his or hers to administer. Both provide anchorage to a person who might otherwise get lost in meditation or in crusade. Selection of a mate of irrelevant form (e.g., an ISTP artisan or an ESTP promoter) would not be the wisest of tactics in so serious a business as life. LAST RESULTS… INFP Personality Types What makes an INFP tick? The Dominant function is the judging one of Feeling. Characteristics associated with this function include: * Makes decisions on the basis of personal values * Is appreciative and accepting of people - enjoying company and seeking harmony * Assesses the impact of decisions on others, being sympathetic or compassionate * Takes a personal approach The judging Feeling function is introverted. That is, Feeling is used primarily to govern the inner world of thoughts and emotions. The INFP will therefore: * develop an inner emotional life that is often unseen to others, but is experienced as intense * retain a strong sense of values, which are often not expressed * emotionally accept or reject various aspects of life - for example, deciding whether praise or criticism received is valid and, at extreme, ignoring whatever is unacceptable * feel appreciation towards others, but not express it The Feeling function is primarily supported by extroverted iNtuitive perception, That is, iNtuitive perception is used primarily to manage the outer world of actions and spoken words. This will modify the way that the Feeling is directed, by: * focusing the (inner world) Feeling on ideas and possibilities for people * looking for meaningful relationships * deciding on friendships through insight into their personality and motivation The classic temperament of an INFP is Apollonian, or Choleric, for whom a basic driving force is the search for meaning or purpose. Contributions to the team of an INFP In a team environment, the INFP can contribute by: * promoting insight and common understanding amongst the team * contributing well thought out and innovative ideas * generating team spirit though sensitive listening and a quiet enthusiasm * focusing on areas of agreement and building on others' proposals * where there are areas of disagreement, exploring a wide range of options to see if a point of agreement can be found The potential ways in which an INFP can irritate others include: * being idealistic * appearing out of touch, perhaps not fully recognising current realities, and disregarding those they find unacceptable * being stubborn over issues the group did not anticipate being a problem * spending too much time thinking * avoiding conflict and not giving forthright criticism when it is needed * focusing so much on interpersonal issues that cost and other impersonal considerations are not adequately discussed Personal Growth As with all types, the INFP can achieve personal growth by developing all functions that are not fully developed, through actions such as: * being prepared to declare the INFP's personal values * investigating and recognising the facts before interpreting what they mean * listing options and undertaking a formal process of evaluation against criteria, including a cost benefit analysis * undertaking a critical appraisal of a situation or person, and expressing disagreement or criticism when it could be of value to the recipient * focusing on impersonal details during discussions and when making decisions * listing options and undertaking a formal process of evaluation against criteria, including a cost benefit analysis * establishing a long term goal, preparing a detailed implementation plan, and sticking to it Recognising Stress As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural style, so the INFP will behave more according to type when under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the INFP might: * concentrate only on what the INFP sees as important * work alone if possible * contribute creative ideas, but overlook current realities * fail to consider the cost implications Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the INFP's shadow may appear - a negative form of ESTJ. Example characteristics are: * being very critical and find fault with almost everything * doing things to excess - e.g.: eating, drinking or exercising * becoming bossy or domineering and ignoring others' feelings * being pedantic about unimportant details The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. The INFP may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.

Thinking of you, As I tend to do, Makes my days go by, Like a sweet rich pie. I make little motion as I lay my head to rest. I do my meditation and send you my best The projection of connection that I make in my mind, Is that of life, a perception of the best kind. Of my will, I choose my choice, to live my days loose, free of noise. Focus on co creation Rest for motivation Blessed I am to have that thought of you Expressing the concept of love is the thing to do Trust I believe Hope, all can conceive This definition of objective This transmission is subjective For the universe to interoperate I tried to instigate A feeling and emotion Causing action and commotion Eureka, fly angelic, As high relic, Spirit of phoenix in a body of dove Taste the codex of my love I appreciate the notion of you Language transcend and get through Thank the heavens and the earth For knowing you and your birth Love lore. Wish for more. Until again, Unto then, From me, Continue to be

words from a dear friend

jasonsespace — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 11:28:38 GMT

The seas of destiny Today when I close my eyes I dream of walking by the sea. The surf is rough and the tide is high. The wind is kicking up. There is no shelter for me here. In this large open space, things flying in my face, and yet everything is so clear. All I can hear is the sound of the sea. Sweet promises of you coming back to me. Completing all of my dreams. I watch the birds fly by me, on this beach in my mind. I realize that this is just another scene showing me he same thing. That I need to open my mind, to realize the hands of time have a plan for me. I just need to see. I need to make sure this water is not too deep. Make sure that I can calm my seas. And to pray that you might follow me so you can see, what it is this you, me, we. To hope that this is destiny. To hope there is no more looking to see if you still need to search for that someone of your dreams........ Many miles between So many miles between us You and me So many new things between us and yet so much time to get to know So many people around us telling us this is the way to go So many choices for us I really just want to know So many things for us to take care of I really just want to know If I am truely your way to go If you followed your heart to that sea Maybe it will bring you back to me oh you are killing me how is my fallen angel this winter aftrnoon... has the shining of your light so bright, guided me through the night, past the lonely hour of the moon, into thus day, leading me with sight beyond sight, turning my inside out and trusting in whats right longing for our connection again and soon... hi j today the angel sighs and weeps for her prince cannot be seen, through the day she feels so cursed for at night does her prince return, he sings sweet songs and holds her near but it is the dawn they fear, for when daylight breaks the night into the darkness he must fly and so today the angel sighed she couldn't wait for time fly, for when day broke and night fell apon them there her prince stood her he pulled her close and closed her eyes to kiss them gently and sigh And to her he would finally say hello my dear please no more tears your love and prince.......

jasonsespace — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 11:07:57 GMT

As I sit in my fallen knee, I drank from water beaneth a sea, Of open outer reach, As potential of what mine has preach, In the heavens and sky of circle I am this. Mine own, mine’s mind’s eye sees that, as all is divine, And the source of that I m delta alpha-and -the-omega as one and all as miniths, As the essence of all beings Eva and Eden, and those choosing a path- Ja in and all of man, unto you. I this man, in this statement, state my observation of the obvious, and my ... seren-****^^^. I do what I do and in mine own I bless the, and mine is that to give, a being of my soul. Am not the religion, ye believes yes, in life and of life and of worldly. I sit perched. From u the universe-ity of churched. Sprit that I know and have felt, feel what I say... love. Am the damned I am, that of the spirit to bind mine unto the mortal paradox and as can be named in many a conceptualization. Not in love.... a love... my love. I thank the earth for u and your life. I thank your mother. I thank mother and u woman are that of a mother. I find my ties to souls. I stop and smell, close my eyes and blink. Love. Miss. Kiss. And touch the earth. Feel the mother. Touch the texture the grain the existence. Own it, it is real. I bring it to me and smell. I kiss my chain for my child. And I kiss it or u blood and bloods there off an your beloved as well. So ... watching the world around me like a gargoyle or a monk. Solemnly existing as a singular infinite all and not, a singular dual. The oxymoron.... the prodigal question has mine art and the absolute. I am just sitting there... so I am emotionally disabled, cause I am far from what life was chosen by other than mine own. As I am... Wondering.... Why. As simple as I ask I have so many reasons to ask that. Mine own knows mine reality and wonder yours, or your perception of mine own, or unto u. so I can relate, this little bit. This time when I awoke and became aware I journeyed in. into my self... and then u pop up... seranenagain. You have my most sincere gratitude for sharing... Truly purely from the me inside, Thank you... for you, and everything. So I think u r a great trip on this ride of life I think that I am the source. Well I think at least my source or something like that. And I think that u have a great life please enjoy Furthermore I think that I am so ego fuwacked -like proper fucked. And by the way, I think I’m trying to say Thanks for my experiences in this that is And stuff. I wish u all good stuff Stuff full of ... bliss, Into your heart. You inspire me. I’ll get back to you. Though Ready to pass out. I have a lot to say... hmmmm A concept to convey I had to type u before the night was through... 7am. Ruff. But wow... *Edit* I think... well... I had a blast *Edit* And so enjoyed *Edit* And what have you. I agree You are the reason I am here *Edit* My journey has brought me to you. It was nice to sit on the grounds. *Edit* Well I am probably tripping and don’t even realize it. I believe u say ... cheers.... I say Until again Be -J The source.

Happy Holidays

jasonsespace — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 10:09:38 GMT

Happy Christma-hana-quanzika, -Merry Christmas and happy new year. I hope your holidays are blessed with joy and love. The celebration of life that happens at this time of year usually is for me, a difficult pass, but I seem to manage. I understand the family and loved ones that I hold dear to my hart are the reason I live to see each day. The transition from the depression to the place I am now has made a huge impact on my views on life and love. I see the world the same, I just perceive my reality different. I am different. I am happy to be, and I am happy you are. This year I am sharing the love I am. For what ever reasons, knowing you, and experiencing the life I’ve know has given me the courage to express the gratitude for the importance of you in me. Thank you for all that you are and all that you have been. What you have done for and with me has helped make me who and what I am. I send good karma your way each day, everyday, with my respects. Know that you are important and I care. From deep inside my hart and soul, thank you. -Love J

The Winter Solstice

jasonsespace — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 09:34:12 GMT

The winter solstice is coming. Do you see? Its time to look towards those you need. The life you know, Must look and be, Lit by harts, And then, It will bring the day again. The sun buns dim each moment, Until the dawn of that night, When you find the love and spirit alike. And u share your time with those you need You find the meaning of cycling, And the truths of lives. Share with all others. And then, That time will start over, The change of seasons indeed. Bring more of the sun, And spring will breed.

there comes a time

jasonsespace — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 09:25:36 GMT

There comes a time, in my mind, where I go to a place, in mine own space. Deep inside the sub mind and instinct, I find this that is distinct, a feeling of emotion, the internal commotion, the hart of mines soul, and the vibrations of life’s flow. And in this moment of clarity, I am the love and charity. From all the spirits I've touched, and all the lives of that I've lust, I find that little bit of serenity, and that lasts for mine own infinity. Then the moment is gone and I am the same, I am glad I know you so I don’t go insane.

Transfer the sadness within Trust as solemn with mine own Truth to myself be known Though the journey and the trip to begin Tis the end all and times of sin Then the moral battle Transcripts of communiqu? are like the shepherd of cattle The duality This formality The shift in energy The branded and synergy The dirty expanding The inevitable extracting Terrifying feeling Tantrums building This awareness The evil sickness Testimonial caging Turmoil raging The senses are condemned This mind is pretend There is no answer to the question one is to seek There is no hope for the one that is so meek The fickle dream of what was shared The grind that society has had and bared Turbulence in the winds of the astro-plane Tests the harts, scorn and exists in vane True love or soul mate lost The price of pain is the cost Tantric ecstasy just for a moment in time The simplicity of art and not crime The end is near The end I fear Toke the bliss into this day Take the time and this dismay Travel the world in one spot Teach the wise from thoughtless thought. Tease the heads of ones with hope Torture their spirit and the try to cope Tremble with the angst of ill The negative is the kill The ship of despair sets its sail The spirit of Gia, Kali, and or mother earth, will prevail Turn back the hands of time There is no man there is to find Take a guess at a long-term future and see There is no place for us humanity Tic tock in the now This exists life is and how Transcend the depths of the sub know realm Take life by the horns, steer from the helm Tool To cool Trip Trick

bogers on rcent meditating and more to articulate

jasonsespace — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 20:19:04 GMT

Felt like new words. I have no real reason just felt it. Reaja – recreation of conceptualization of infinite entirety and all of everything or rediscovering divinity. In cona haj ah ha…'. coh –ona najah all of one essence of energy, in of god. Of nature or apart of a the singularity of existence. Hmmm. ahkja or ahc Ja or ahja up on or unto the act of motion into that; that cannot be defined, like god, er the transitioning between spirit and animal, the art of coexisting as separate and singular at the same. (Existence and non and the space between) Um, theory of conceptualization of psychosis-ness. …'. I know someone said this and meant this at some time in the past present or future. Maybe I willed it existence or maybe saying what someone else mirrored off of me. …' So, I feel. I believe. I desire. I found someone presenting information that I know, yet accepted It as for it came from there own, as mine, and as inspiration. The shared perspective I am and I’m just that doped up hippie bum freak wacko ranting about crazy spiritual end of the world bullshit that might or might not be true, trying to understand what I feel is divine and trying to articulate an un-define-able perspective on something that is observation as experiences of interpretation. Alas, the core came from within. The belief without the cause, and I am pure from that is and how. This energy, as you, as I, as god, as existence and the hole nine is…' I, The only true perspective, the real is my mind- conscious. Third eye and all, THC Temple ANC Brother love Aware They are coming Concept conveyed Always lick you shoulder like the freak I am. Trip out in the woods, or the desert Get lost. Get connected. Get god. Get me. Get it. Get done. Got milk? Us people. Hmmmmmmm Discovering meditation from within and fallowing, feeling the flowing of the projection. So …'…'…'…' the path I walk I am realizing- is the one I’ve preached my-self to interpretate. The cult I seek of connections of folk and family are those of my spirit and love and not of the emptied dim souled, yellow core, nulls. This is my time to focus, my being and thought, and to higher myself. This instant that time fleeting will inevitably trap in its force and existence is my selfish desire to capture a though, a pure concept, and then convey it- one of my most favorite absolute paradoxes –sharing…' the statement involves so much in the way of my essence. Ah, the feel. Mmmmmmmmmm I have meditated myself to this place of discovery where I find a balance in the journey. I see signs like that of a psychic or profit. Truths I find and feel I experience as my cracked out perspective. I am the struggle of internal and external. I am not aware of so much of this world; I question the value of existence. I bless this energy and then time loss and whatever. Acceptance. Death is a hard step to take. Now. Physically being is another step in its self. The interpretation of understanding of karma, and or aura, helps guide my morality and humanity. In knowing my being as man I accept the kali belief. Not in the definition but the whole idea and the bigger picture. Mother earth and father time and the spirit of life and the existence of love…' hmmm, sounds like paradise or haven or Eden or on and on…' utopia even. I just need to accept that I am there, correction here, or maybe now. So, what do I do? Wonder around, wander, observe and learn. Packing more and more of existence into existence, life before life-death before death. Love after love. The purpose of my life culminates into this one singular act- being. I think that, I think in slow motion, grasping each frame of time space in an altered realism and disconnected oneness. I am so at ease with the discovery of experiencing my belief. I do my part and be, it. I am, the, and an, and all existence. I own my ego fear. I am all of this that is. - In no way anymore evolved than those who know but am more advanced than those who don’t have a clue, just because of the fact that I have a clue and that’s it. I reflect on time. I desire. I am aware and afraid. I am a sin, a crime and a suffering and as I am this as I am free and love the true pure self- the source. My belief is here for me and there for me, but as it is as sole as mines soul, it could not be without you and your essence and inner inter inspiration and all of the harmony that is you and is the chaos of my unknown and the mirror of legacy. Thank you for your existence without you there would be no me or existence to know, I am, as you, as all, god. That is my piece. Not the deconstruction of nature but the expansion of our creation. I believe and hope. I thank existence for existing. The only thing I can say to another is what has been said to me. I am a reflection of history as the present condition. And I make the future as I exist, but here I am, in the now knowing the future is not more than just a different now. This has been a new thought of the thought of thought that’s existed before existence. As I am the source, I am the finite, infinite, decimal point of everything existing and not. I’m just some dude. I don’t know what the fuck is. I play with the idea, the process, and experience. Living. I am me this is my live introduction. This is I, stating that I am. This is I, desiring all that is. Most of all, tripping out, trying to touch the untangible and really feel it. In coh –ona najah all of one essence of energy I believe. Of nature or apart of a the singularity of existence. Ahk JA – oh god I am. I am. I am Am? Now. Do. Love. Life. Thanks for being. Ahhh- to be taken. Ohhh, for the experience and well, hmmmm, feel. Thanks stranger who called me out. Thanks for seeing the light I am. It has been said -it. Exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed, exactly how, exactly as I am and now I come back for the why. The drive, the drug, the reason, the why, is the journey. Life. I am so exited I have found another- my path was direct experience and I waited trapped for so long aware but scared and alone. Now I am. Playing as my game, with whom? Doing what I do, Analyzing interpretation manipulating jading creating radiating concentrating fucking This …' life …' existence …' sharing mine with all and all with you, the do, cycle. Give it up for the power the force the torque the divine and give thanks for all and any. Restating the obvious The source
