@Andreas Realize the depth of growth you could still achieve by seeing where they're at. And instead of getting rattled up and frustrated, learn to channel that energy into something worthwhile

Hey Guys! I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on specific ways one could open up/purify the heart. If you have one that you would like to add, please comment it below! Here is my list: 1.) Be more vulnerable with yourself, and with others. 2.) Open up your body and give more of yourself when having a conversation. 3.) Meditate and place your attention on the heart 4.) Practice gratitude for the food you can eat, the shelter over your head, the clothes on your back, and the Earth below your feet. 5.) Connect with the Infinite all around you. 6.) Pray for an Open Heart. 7.) Give without expectations 8.) Practice loving kindness and unconditional love 9.) Eliminate judgements, fearful thinking, doubts/assumptions about people.

Based on your " All understanding is metaphoric" videos Not clinging to religous books as the literal truth, the map is not the territory, etc. Also, how not to be attached/identify as an ego. Great example you brought up about America being fought for when "America" isn't even a thing actually but a projection!

@Joseph Maynor What did you put in place of your distractions mentioned here?

What has your experience been with creative projects? Are you working on some right now? What motivates you to do so? What is a creative project you have been itching to start but are struggling with?

@Viking Research the work of Mantak Chia, especially his book labeled "The Multi Orgasmic Man" Also, research the yogic term "Mula Bandha" to help strengthen your PC. Deep breathing and concentration helps too. Good luck and enjoy

@Shroomdoctor We only begin to wake up when death nips at our heels

@Strikr The map is not the territory, of course. But at the same time, studying theory has a loooot of benefits.

How do ya'll deal with your inferior function?

@Max_V @SpaceCowboy dear fellow INFJ's... i can relate

@RiseAbove watch your mind as the silent observer and remain as the witness when the repetitive pattern of lying arises. Do this for some time and the tendencies will dramatically reduce. This is the same technique that will reduce your amount of judgements. (For me it took 1-2 months)

@Leo Gura what if its easy for you to understand other's emotions but you struggle recognizing your own?

@Bob Saget Scary, but revealing at the same time. Thanks for the share...

@Jim Bob Lots of LP material to work through + thinking about practical action steps you can take. give it some time and thought, you're well on your way!

@TomDashingPornstar So what are you doing with these characteristics you've not learned about? I need to research ENFP more, they seem very balanced.

@SFRL Having others take it for you, hmm, i never thought of that! @Toby Can you link the test you took?

@Ponder Awesome work! What resources helped you embrace the ENTJ shadow?

@Shin haha tunnel vision is good. But to play the devil's advocate, not all socializing is about gossip. Other people can provide tons of value and diverse opinions that can really open up your mind and make you rethink your whole life. Btw, we are socializing right now Susie

@Jim Bob What is your LP?

@Amanda R Batista Are you using the labeling technique? If so, Shinzen Young has some amazing dialogues on YouTube about it. Also, I linked a book he wrote about Mindfulness. Hope these help! 3.) A huge object like a mountain might take multiple "see" silent or non verbal labels in order to fully soak it all in Mindfulness.pdf

@Shroomdoctor Opening up your body to flow more love through u. No Fap, Bioenergetics, priming, yoga, meditation and shamanic breathing/ Hard cardiovascular exercise also helps my dude.

@Parki Nobody is looking at you in public as critically as you are judging yourself.

An insight that would change my direct experience

@dorg This is an amazing point that we often over look!! Thanks for pointing it out @Pure Imagination Take into consideration how much of our day the automatic operating system is functioning by itself for survival.
