**** Discussion to MBTI Poll groups participating****

 

Suzanne notes:

 

The human attempts we make to understand ourself and our world is ancient.

It permeates both Western and Eastern philosophies (adapted currently as

philosophy, religious and scientific debates in our Western constructs of

current culture). Documents have survived and held sacred for well over

5000 years as to human nature/ our unique compostion of fire, earth, air,

and water, the combination of each of these elementals we each are, and

what we choose to offer to the whole of universal consciousness.

 

These elementals and their combinations we are today comprise a modern day

(20-21st century) profile called MBTI and temperament scales. These are

related powerfully to our archetypes and cultural myths. Myths, symbols,

metaphors, mixed metaphors, synesthesia (criss-crossed senses) can catch

our attention, offer much to our *here, now, today* summary as human on

earth. And to move between these elements as occasion arises or deepens, as

it depends, these symbols can mark an inner and outer process that never

stops evolving, personally and universally.

 

So there is much more to the MBTI than is surface sharing. It is no

different than asking "what is your sun sign?" at parties. But IF these

typologies begin to get folks talking together, then I perceive that there

is value in this. Thus, the goal of this little test. And, as with anything

that seems superficial at the onset, there is a hidden complexity. By

analogy, we can potentiate an EE or depotenitate, dismiss, it. However,

when we potentiate our EHE(s), when something (ourSelf) asks us for More,

then new perspectives, prisms of self and world open again and we return

with More.

 

We invite you to share your own insights and comments here. They will be

included anonymously in the final report, unless otherwise requested. :-))
