I am INTP. My dominant function is Introverted Thinking, my auxiliary is Extraverted Intuition. If I do not feed my Ti, I begin to wrap round my axle. If I do not feed my Ne, I starve. I need information from the world like plants need water. My tertiary process, Si/e has emerged and I am gaining strength using it; I can use and notice details and be precise. My inferior process, Fe, is emerging and I am beginning to notice and value what is important to other people.

I approach values from a logical position. Values are important to me, but I talk about them in terms of logic. To discuss values in emotional terms is confusing to me.

Gnosis is a core value of mine. I believe knowing is at the source of the soul and being.

I believe all creatures are spiritual and that the cores of all of us are linked to a divine source. I believe this is immutable and constant–but I believe we can ignore, deny, or be in ignorance of this basic tenant. The corollary of my belief is that those who profess that this is not the case–that they are NOT at core spiritual and linked to the divine source–these people are in some way disconnected from the truth, willfully or otherwise. I cannot concede that there is any other way of being. This is a blind side; I am comfortable with this weakness and accept that this may be a personal opinion. It is not provable or disprovable, so I see little reason in debating it. (This is an example of a value being a fact–so if I am confused by Feeling, I need to recall this.)

I believe that finding or touching this core–an action I am comfortable describing as a Gnostic event, even if it is Gnostic-lite–is part of the transformation that is essential for us to live authentically.

I believe that MBTI is an entry drug into Jungian transformative psychology. I initially wrote “into the rapture of Jungian…”–this is telling. For me, very much, the tool is a key into the processes.

I believe in Gnosis, because I have had Gnostic events. Gnosis is a fact for me. I am willing to admit that those who have not had my life experiences or who do not allow for these kinds of experiences will find my Gnostic beliefs difficult to accept. I am not willing to debate these experiences; they are immutable personal facts, unable to be proven or disproven. For me, knowing is an ineffable Sensed fact.

I believe that, having acquired information and had insight, it is essential that I communicate these insights. I am not as effective as I could be at transmitting this information. I struggle with the process of recording the insight with sufficient clarity and accessibility. Having thought through or come to an insight, I have troubles disciplining myself to record the information.

I am aware that I have language barriers–I want to describe transformative events with precision. These subjects are not natively open to precision or objective language. These are personal events. I strive to write inspirational literature for the logician.
