...to embody empathy...

must I sacrifice integrity?

I believe...

perhaps,

the ideal would be to be everything and thus one,

Yet I fall so short...

Dreams: Experience and Perception

Having been studying Carl Jung's psychoanalytical theory, I have just come to an interesting realization of my own dream pattern. If, as Jung hypothesizes, dreams are the event of a powerful force originating from the unconscious explosively entering into the consciousness, and thus they represent important aspects of an individual's unconscious that, for whatever reason, are not being consciously dealt with; then I have an additional statement to add. At least in my case, it is also true that, during the process of the dream, another psychological element occurs, that is the element of the type of reception the consciousness will extend to the dream. This is a startling and highly interesting possibility I have just now come to understand.

INTJ - Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging

http://typelogic.com/intj.html

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
- Definitely true of me. Especially the part about a "specialized knowledge system" that is constructed from an early age.
