I naturally dislike alcohol. I enjoy wine, in very limited doses and very infrequent intervals. I'm grateful for my natural intolerance (physical) of alcohol.

I wonder if it resonated with me due to my age (28), sex/gender (and various cultural and biological baggage related thus), philosophical values, and especially being a Type 1 Enneagram. I also have a lot of rage deep down, that I'm working to either release or control. It's difficult...

I'm in love with Yoga.

Was wondering what other INFJs thought of this? It hit me very accurately and heavily. I thought it was a brilliant comparison (with bias against the INFP, actually) and is eerily close to both my own preferences and values. https://www.stellarmaze.com/infj-vs-infp/

Yeah, but it's also a bit nuanced. Is is ad-hoc rationalized arrogance? Well, partly, yes. But it's really complex. I truly believe there are good people, bad people (in degrees), dumb people, smart people, people of all sorts of characteristics and traits. But I also tend to be quiet...

I'm self-assured of my own superiority. That is all. :)

Eternal. Effervescent feelings residing under the Veil of Temporality. Fragile is our soul, bound by the constraints of Causality. Mother Dark, Father Time. Are we not but infants? Flowers of consciousness blooming forth into the wellspring of Eternity. Little birds, ever curious of what lies...

SpecialEdition - that was an uncanny description. Thank you all. I'm going away for some alone time.

I'm still a newly-discovered INFJ. It's been a revelation. What a month! Insane. Just insane. I've been using Fe, A LOT. Learning how to use it. Learning how dangerous, beautiful, instrumental, and powerful it is. I've been using Ni. Trusting it. It's really mystical, but I suppose for us...

"When you change yourself, you change the world."

I love you all. :)

Loyalty to my ideal, my vision, my archetype of perfection. What is good, what is just, what is dignity and poise, what is wisdom and celerity. Strength, power, aggression (I'm a male, after all), intellect, mysticism, romanticism - these are all qualities I admire and see as aspects of the...

R. Scott Bakker's Second Apocalypse is nothing short of amazing. Think... Game of Thrones x Dune, more metaphysical, more philosophical, epic fantasy setting... There are people who will fucking figure out who I am if they come on this forum because of this post. Oh well... haha.

In between that seamless haze between our abstractions of yesterday and today, I did the following things: 1. Finished a book on, well, Buddha Nature. 2. Re-started another book on the deficiencies of our contemporary conceptions of the masculine psyche and energies. 3. Spent time with a new...

Nope. Reversal of this for me. :D
