INFJ - strong emotions but unable to identify the source

Nov 1 aft

I am that - Nisargadatta Ji Maharaj
Whatever you may have to do, watch ur mind.
Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when ur mind is absolutely still.
If u miss it, you miss the entire thing.
If u do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.

It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts.
When u happen to walk in a crowd, u do  not fight every man u meet, u just find ur way between.
When u fight, u invite a fight.
But when u do not resist, u meet no resistance.
When u refuse the play the game, u are out of it.

Love this.
this morning again I have th idea that my those tots coming into my mind are surface tots.
some of those tots are incredulous.
They are not true at all.
I no longer believe them.

Sannidhi may make the physical sadhana easier but life is not.
I am now aware of my feelings. Not easy to feel and act beyond the fear


Was updating my blog and saw this

INFJs feel strong emotions because of the way the functions in our personality are arranged.
The INFJ’s functions are, in this order,
1) Introverted Intuition (Ni),
2) Extroverted Feeling (Fe),
3) Introverted Thinking (Ti), and
4) Extroverted Sensing (Se).
This is called our “functional stack,” or in other words, our mind’s preferred ways of working.

Ni is our dominant function and is like our “captain.” It’s our biggest strength and the most defining feature of our personality. Fe is second, so it’s like a sidekick to Ni. Ti and Se operate mostly below our level of consciousness, so they are usually not very well developed (at least not until later in life, when we’ve matured).
What makes our feelings overwhelming sometimes is that we don’t have a system that effectively processes them, so we don’t experience them in a controlled way. We need an introverted judging function to organize our emotions and scale them down to a manageable size, allowing us to put them in perspective. The function we have to do this is Ti, which is not a good tool to deal with emotions. Plus, it’s third in our functional stack, which means it works less efficiently than Ni and Fe, and it operates subconsciously.

Mmmm..maybe this is not back to square one
My feelings and sensation is coming back up after years of suppression

For these reasons, we often feel out of touch with our own emotions. Our feelings seem to flow spontaneously and without direction, sometimes rising to the surface of our consciousness, other times lurking below in the depths of our subconscious. These emotions may reveal themselves to us in a flash of images or in dreams. We may be surprised by our own behavior. We may even do reckless things. Bad emotions like stress or tension from conflict may make us physically sick or keep us awake at night.

It’s not easy being an INFJ. Sometimes I have a hard time knowing how I feel about something. I become a detective, putting together the clues to solve the mystery. What does my body do when I’m around that person? What does my body language say? What feelings arise? Are they my own, or are they feelings I’ve absorbed from other people? What images do I see in my mind? How does my body feel physically?

I’m coming to terms with the passionate, powerfully emotional person that I am. Having strong emotions means I will feel and experience life in ways that other people can only wish to know.

Soul
Mmm...thats another alternative view.
Such Irony..actually I am true feeler..cos I don't project it..doesn't mean I don't have.
