also there's this quote that really resonated with me when i was even more stuck in a rut than i am now. apparently it is originally by deepak chopra, not sure, but i thought i might as well share it here. maybe someone can find something in it. “If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another. The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience. "

That quote doesn't really hold up. If you make the wrong decision (drink and drive) then your chances increase tenfold that you will get into a car accident thereby hurting yourself or injuring/killing someone else. That being said, there are consequences for your actions base on your decisions. Putting thought /contemplation (not obsessive of course) into your decisions/actions and anticipating possible positive or negative outcomes is not such a bad thing.

R Miranda oh yeah i totally agree. i think of it more in a context of some decisions where a good/bad outcome isn’t obvious. like when you start to obsess over a decision, and you just end up stuck in a loop and nothing gets done about it... i guess what i’m trying to say is that sometimes one just needs to take action and see what unfolds - or in the case of this quote, to let the ”universe adapt” around that decision. (to me personally that’s really hard to accept, not knowing for sure what the outcome will be.) but it’s definitely dangerous to just do whatever so recklessly that it does harm to oneself or others.

@@parus_1671 I also think that this quote does have validity but it just wasn't said well. Another interpretation of this Deepak Chopra quote is that people shouldn't anticipate any punishment or reward from the universe because the universe as an entity in of itself does not reserve judgement. The universe (as far as we can tell) does not operate on ethics. Rather is operates mostly on "cause and effect". Very different from "punishment and reward" because "punishment and reward" is subjective to the human experience. What's a punishment for you can be a reward for me, etc. So yes, if we interpret the quote like I explained it above then we could see that the universe doesn't punish or reward, it only molds itself around the decisions you make under the laws of "cause and effect" and THAT'S IT. Nothing more, nothing less, so far that we could tell.

I think it is quite difficult to go through cycles of 'awakening' and apathy. We feel so much so deeply with a real sense of interconnectedness with the events and persons around us that when we encounter these natural nuances of the highs and lows of life we begin to see how we fit into the tapestry of existence. Yet, monotony, drudgery...even the mundane routines that we find in the daily comforts we allow ourselves to settle into, leave us lost without discovering the true meaning of it all. We stop to ask ourselves, what is the purpose? Where is the benefit in the long-term? If we cannot find a significant answer we become apathetic...and sadly, as a result lose a piece of our identity. What we forget is that the 'waves' can be found in the simple just as in the complex, and we needn't pursue some big thing in neglect of the small. In essence, everything is meaningful because we have one life, and it is precious.

And that it’s time to engage in it externally. Rather than withdraw and analyzing it. But also understanding the melancholic beauty of it all, and the beauty of the impermanences. Jeez. It’s like we’re thinking the exact same thing but living two different experiences.

I'm kinda back into jungian typology for only less than a month myself after diving into spirituality, unraveling my worldviews and all that. So I definitely relate to going full circles. The problem is inferior Se. Not taking action and just observing. Heck Jung called the Introverted intuitive "the most useless of men" unless they conquer their shadow and become more active and assertive, purposefully driven instead of merely contemplative and observant.

I agree with Jung to a certain extent. What use is pure observation without action? At the very least of jotting down what is being observed rather than simply doing nothing. Then again, some people don't mind living life just observing. Materialistically speaking, these very people are neither useful or useless. They simply are and that's it. On a occult level, it is quite possible that these people (introverted intuitive aka "the most useless of men") are doing a lot more than we might readily realize. They may be observing down to a detailed level and contributing their observations to "the observer" thereby becoming the observed on a much grander scale. Not sure if anyone understands such a theoretical concept and no, I do not smoke pot.

Being 50+ I'll add my 2 cents in. It's just like you say the answers were always there but it depends on you intent with how you use that information. First you have to be ready for that information and most of us aren't because we spend a lifetime trying to clean up all the crap society continuously dumps on us instead of letting it go, which no one truly does because it's constantly being reaffirmed. This causes us to try and make the inside and the outside match literally and it's not exactly in the physical sense that we can do this. It's like knitting a sweater, one side is order and the other side is chaos with neither side representing good or evil in that context. That wave as you call it is actually a break in the collective consciousness that allows you to see to the otherside. The otherside allows you to navigate with options that your not given on the side of order to get from one point to the next metaphorically speaking. But even on the otherside there are rules that need to be followed but if all you see is chaos you will get in your own way and your back to square one. The rules on the otherside allow you to break the rules on the side of order so to speak but the rules on the chaos side if broken begin to contradict one another and your lost having to start all over again. Think I have a good example if I've lost anyone. Let's say you have a mundane drive to work everyday that is constantly the same. One day your running late and something nudges you to speed and you do, then without realizing it you've slowed down and a block later there's a cop and your like whew dodged that one. Then you speed up not realizing it and excessively at that and then your caught by the light and on the corner there's a gas station that a cop car just pulls out of and your like wow how lucky. The average person chalks the whole thing up to luck never thinking about it again, but if your our type (I hate labels) and in a good place and not distracted by the outside world on a regular basis like the majority of us are, you catch something. It's like a ringing in the ear and your're like I have a feeling there's something to this. The immature type doesn't take the time to truly dive in and understand this and just runs with it. Then after 3-4 days of this they're like damn I got this and feel like a kid in a candy store and boom busted wondering what went wrong, that wave just washed out and it's back to the real world. The mature type tries to understand just what's going on on the otherside and after 3-4 days they're like "ah". The otherside has some order too that you can't consciously navigate on this side but what some consider your higher-self can and what you call that isn't important just to recognize what it is and what is can do is. So when your on the wave or in the flow as some call it, we can let our Ego integrate with this as we begin to see the order on the otherside yet still have no conscious control over it. But if you accept that your higher-self always has your best interest in mind you start to see things and the world differently. It's like playing a video game on NG+ with the cheat codes activated. The problem is so many of us spend our whole life trying to reconnect that which has been broken that we never get to this point or truly understand what it is. Hope that was a good example and was trying to stay on topic as we tend to have a problem with that with so many things going on on the otherside and a million and one directions we can take things. Some consider the Ego evil and it needs to die but that's not my opinion, I see it as needing to be whole again through integration. In my opinion if someone thinks their Ego is what's causing them to be or do negative things so to speak I believe they still have a long way to go. Your Ego is on this journey not to be destroyed but to learn and get that connection back and our type is in the best position to do that because we come in with one foot firmly on both sides of the door. As soon as we get here society tries to completely pull you to this side and slams the door. When this happens a lot of us end up broken or in mental institutions because your foot is still on the other side of a closed door and your connection is damaged and your not receiving information properly and some even go crazy. In the past I believe we've been Shaman, Prophets, Sages, Wizards and Medicine Men but in the past they all had someone to guide them to find their place in society. But there is no proper place for that in modern society and what this world can't control it will destroy. To the 1 person that made it to the end I hope this resonated in some kind of way. I'm still on my journey which I hope never ends and I've learned to enjoy the ride, took me a long time to get here but believe me it's worth it. I always say "never let the outside dictate the inside" and to be true to yourself which is hard in this society and most of all TRUST IN YOURSELF because the only person that knows what's right for you is YOU!

His name is YHWH, the great I AM,, the God of Israel, who revealed himself to us through the Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He is the only way. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free, free from the bondage to our rebellious fallen nature, free from the due reward of a sin stained soul.. And freed into God’s kingdom to inherit eternal life. Time is short. You have only one life. God’s word is living, Truth is absolute, Deception is rampant, Only Jesus can open the eyes of man, The destination of your eternal soul depends on what you believe in. All who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus will be saved. What is your soul worth to you?

@@jasongeorge1539 That is so true and I couldn't have said it better myself. My Great Great Great Grandfather started our family church and we were taught to have our own personal relationship with God and without him we would bear no fruits. Been living that my whole life. I guess the easiest way to put it in reference to what I was saying is he is the order on the chaos side of the sweater and everything that we've ever done or created is through him. God is embedded in all of us, some of us just can't see it or recognize it and we do no works without him. In this world we live in today so many have only seen the fear, anger and the hatred the world has to offer and not the Love that comes from the inside from God. It's very sad yet very real in our society and some can't seem to get past the pain. So in answer to your question yes, we're still on this journey and experience together and it's the most amazing thing. Didn't happen overnight and it took me a long time to get here but it was definitely worth it to have this experience. Too make a long story short, when I wanted to use my check out card God presented me with a get out of jail free card and it opened my eyes to see things that I couldn't have seen without him. God is working through all of us to present this experience we're having, the good and the bad and I wouldn't change a thing that got me to the place I am now. When we're shown certain things and the fear is removed and we step out on faith we can do some amazing and impossible things. Our individuality is what makes this one of the most unique experiences to have and through the sharing of our stories it shows us how he has us all connected. This world may seem as if it's been hijacked but it was created for us and he's still in control and as hard as it is for some to hear that we have to keep the faith. Keep spreading the word Jason and good luck on your journey with God carrying you. Footprints in the Sand is one of my favorite poems for that reference.

I caught a wave, in the growing of plants at others nurseries on the practical side I found a piece of land, with a creek running through it, and a 10ft. waterfall comes out of the land to find same creek. Ended up running last nursery, and had plenty of alone time to use my intuition. I did not work a day there. Adventure of both sides of self. Retired now, grow my own food, play in the creek shower under the waterfall, walk through the woods, tend the orchard and food gardens. I accidentally found my way. A blessed trip. I live in the garden of eden. I have a handful of long time friends. So my mind is free to wonder. Being an INFJ is difficult in this society. Yet I carved a way. Being true to myself, yet not really letting anyone see me. Extremely creative hobbies, and time to do them, though I always did anyway. I tried to fit in to society once, did not work, so went my own way. There is way more than just what we see in this 3d. Way more dimensions, to play in. Take care, go your own way, for joy, before we leave this short in time life

Welcome Back :D I very much agree with what you had to say I am an INFJ and realized the same conclusion. I had a lot happened since you were gone went to Ireland in 2018 and Europe 2019. I was in a state of seeking in a journey. Also, I had to walk away from grad school something I did for 4 1/2 years three months before getting a Masters Degree. Basically, something you think is the path may not be the path and be back to square one. However, I realized it is best to be an observer yet being a part of it (like you stated HD resolution). Basically, just being at square one means is cyclical not a failure. In a sense, it is exciting because you are embracing the unknown in another level even deeper. I'm looking into Reiki and I have never been so much happier :) Yes trust in the Force :D

in the past 2 years, I did a degree in Music Business here in the UK. I think that has had a very negative impact on myself. Business management made me feeling the stamina going through my veins, it was good at times but very draining. I love music but the music world is a hard-one, loads of EGOs and a few real characters... no deep conversations and networking events were the most horrible places to hang around: Big show-off. I have learnt a massive thing such as when back on writing I won't search public approval, tastes and trends are usually made-up, the art as commercial entertainment exploits the artistic medium to prevail the subconscious side of the masses. Secondly, I realised I cannot live upon others' expectations... yes it's true I score 90% on intuition and now is a fact, but it has always been like that, it was just too scary to rely on a pre-rational function such as intuition. But we know now, and as they say, if it works for you works for everybody.

I think the reason why INFJs have that rememberance you talked about in the video is because of that dominant Ni's effect on us. Primaritly, intuition is a process of getting knowledge and understanding through other means than thinking, learning, or the five senses; so it definitely is a subconscious process, in which the subconscious mind brings into consciousness information and solutions to problems... Idk if other intuitive personalities are "in tune" with their subconscious mind as happen to be dominant Ni types (INFJ-INTJ) , but it's really intriguing that Ni power.

I think mirroring is so difficult to describe to others who know who they are with unwavering certainty. As an INFJ, I struggle with being authentic to myself in the more day to day decisions I am faced with; especially when I feel that another person prefers something different (obviously with exclusion to my core values). A good example of this is choosing to eat Italian, even if I don't prefer it that day, but knowing it is the other person's favorite. I am always weighing what other's think/feel/want based on body language, subtle cues in tone or slight comments. However, I have noticed as I get older, I am less inclined to deny myself what I need or desire. I spent so much time trying to please so many people that I lost part of my identity. Just as people call the INFJ the 'chameleon', so being a 9w8 Ennegram is this way. I can feel the energy from others, their desires, their views, and I can change my own to suit the other person's (within reason- never to the point of neglecting my core beliefs). Perhaps, the word 'change' is too strongly used here, as it is more a mask that I put on to cover my own desires/thoughts. I have done a tremendous amount of reflection in the last few years, and I had a thought about all these masks...'but which, praytell, is my real face?' It was a question that kept me up at night. Not to say that pleasing others by putting on those masks was done out of ill intentions, but the result left me feeling fake...and manipulated, and a bit lost. I decided to try being real, started saying no, created boundaries, and regardless of the reactions of others, it felt genuine to who I am and honest to those I care about. I have lost quite a few "friends" due to this change, but I prefer the honesty, and it feels nice to show who I really am to the world, sans masks. In the end, if you are authentic and truly evaluate your intentions/desires then harmony can still be achievable.

However I’m still learning, I feel like I never have enough new information about us humans in this experience we call life. Thank you for such an entrancing philosophical conversation. I wish I came across intellectual people like you in my life. Thank KZitem for this opportunity.

Tom, Tom! 🇵🇹 Olá, you visited my country, hope you were treated well :) You seem older, bit wiser, and yeap, you're sure learning the hard way "the complexity of simplicity" ;) INFJ lady here, in my 40`s now, it will get simpler when you get here young man :) in the middle of life's road (in a general sense) , trust me. We've done such a lifetime of thinking INFJ STYLE, so much that suddenly... it seems / feels all so pointless and yet paradoxically enlightening (sorry my English). sleep well, eat well, love yourself well and accept the fact we'll never fit in society , but we're not special or weird, just different, intuitives/analytical, gentle/cold etc... the good&bad of all of human duality. abraço ♒

Wtf do u do when the ability to see a bigger picture and the search for the underlying true reality of everything that we can see reveals a contradiction between the beauty in the world and the ugliness of what humans do with it? And I’m not talking about the average person, I’m talking about the few people who manage the world behind the curtains. I find it utterly depressing to know that the blindness that I am fighting is, and will always be, much more deep than what I can fight. I feel like an individual progress is just not enough, yet nothing that I can do will have the impact required to start any change. I apologize for throwing some quarantine blues your way, but I think your channel attracts like minded people and I’m truly in need of some inspiration.

I feel this so much. It is an utterly helpless feeling. What has helped me is to list things I do have control of or areas where I can affect change. Start small...call an extroverted friend, research the truth from reliable sources and send it to friends/family (I'm not suggesting the fear mongering practices the media uses to incite). Donate to local food banks. Call neighbors to see who needs anything, and leave it on their doorstep. Learn something new (a new skill/language/etc). I hope you can feel a sense of peace as you take control of things you have the power to change. Wishing you love and light.

Remember you may be just a brain in a vat. What you see may not be what is "real". And I am not even talking in metaphysical terms. If you see some negative trend ask yourself what are the channels of information that lead you to believe this? You may see more of the ugly stuff if you keep clicking on a certain type of video or news report etc so that the algorithm will feed you more of that and you will get the impression that everything is rotten and the world is falling apart (it kind of is but it probably has been this way since our species "happened"). But is it truly that bad other than the fact that you are being manipulated by an algorithm? Are the people you know overwhelmingly bad people, stupid people etc.? In this age (in my humble opinion) the most important thing is to realise that you are being played with and that you have a choice to opt out by not clicking on that click-baity video that makes someone nasty rich, by consciously rationing your exposure to social media and the news. Delete your youtube history every once in a while, question your own knowledge - that will diversify your exposure and help you notice and focus on the good things and will keep you sane and full of energy to lead by setting an example and help others in realistic ways. Science tells us we tend to amplify negative things in our heads and downplay the good ones. Awareness gives us a choice. Best of luck!

You may not agree but hear me out. I believe we wont be able to fight off the evil of this world till the end, but seemingly it will get better and better, everything will be harmonious and united humanity will stand together with superficial smiles sometime soon... We are mere humans encompassed with good will but also corrupted by sin. I believe God allows all this to unravel so we can understand the bigger picture when the right time comes. The evil ones are pulling the strings here because it is the kingdom of sin, and they need to win now so the good people are not destroyed immediately and have the opportunity to grow, get through trials and being changed by tough times to be closer of having the character of God, as how we were in his image perfectly created. I wish you could find God and not get cynical about how little we can do, because the little we can do is only thing that actually matters. (Sorry for the tangent, I just listened advice to express myself but Im still not good at this xd)

It doesn’t come into actualization until we express ourself. The trouble is finding the right conditions to do so, we like to know we are having an impact but to do so we have to be comfortable sharing and opening up. Vulnerability is the last hurdle for INFJ. We see how the puzzle pieces go, and we know what the picture will be and might not like it. Sometimes we want to see someone else put it together first, or solve it completely in the dark.

I sometimes can briefly touch on the kinds of exotic and incredible feelings you are touching on. It's like a hidden world which is waiting to be unlocked. Certain places make me feel at peace and excited mentally and spiritually. Rmembering past places and people and events etc. can give such deep melancholic feelings which are more than melancholy. Hard to put into words.

INFJ here... just had my first acid trip last month and it was so different than I expected it to be. But I agree INFJs must be born closer to that source knowledge or something because it just clicked with me....it all made sense and was so joyful. The entirety of existence really is just a joyful game of expressing ourselves to experience ourselves, with all the light and darkness and everything in between. The answers were in me all along and it almost seemed too simple....I found myself laughing with how utterly simple it all was in the end. Just the pure joy of experience through expression and creation. I love your channel and I hope you make more videos more often. You are one of my favorite channels. You put such complex ideas to words in such an insightful way.

When u make the full circle thinking you figured The thing out and ended where you started. I dont know if u are into physics and universe stuff, but YT channels about this stuff help me distract myself from myself pretty well :D Just avoid fishy conspiracy stuff... bad things. But the one thing I finally learned to do, is share my weird thoughts with my BF and it keeps me from slipping to bad directions. Hope it makes little sense, cus otherwise it wouldnt be me :D stay safe

Would we INFJs feel a lesson was truly learnt if it wasn't learnt in the deepest, hardest, most painful way? This world was not designed for introverted intuitive empathetic rational folks like us, though it is evolving, but what sets us apart is that rare, almost impossible mix of personality traits. The challenge is applying them to create an authentic, fulfilling life in a world not yet universally designed for all of us. Blessings.

9:34 to around 11:30, and then the ending of the video are higlights of this vlog. It's beautiful, inspiring and so true. I remeber having the deep felt sense of what this reality is since I was a little girl, and then at one point of time (or it happened little by little instead) I just realized I lost it because I cut off my intuition in favor of others' validation and approval. Last few years I have been spending of finding my ways back to it and I feel I am closer every day. Offtopic, what is your sun sign and ascendant Tom? And I would like to hear the same from other INFJs too! If you know more, like the moon sign or sth, the better.

It’s extremely hard for me to contain the urge of expressing myself especially to a person where I could freely express myself without being judged or labelled or misunderstood by literally everyone who knows me or those who are in my circle. People never understand why I act the way I’ve acted especially when the reasons that I gave the first time are totally contradictory to the actions and the collected reasons that many people agreed from their point of views. Things just get harder and harder during this Covid-19 situations where there are just too many shocks or multiple sudden changes frequently that caused me to ‘vanish’ and ‘disappear’ from literally everyone and made them worried sick especially my parents. Even after being disappeared from everyone and couldn’t be traced, I will always be the one who is ‘selfish’, not thinking about anyone else but myself. It will always me who had to force myself to think hard and figure out why I disappeared and ignored everyone suddenly for a whole day or even 2 days. It is always me who had to force myself so hard to just move and get back home and explain myself to those who were worried sick and those who were disgusted of me. They never understand the first and second time I explain things. It is always me to think so hard of the words and actions and any examples that I can use just to make them understand me the way they understand themselves. I just had to stoop to their ways of thinking and it will always seem that everything I did is something that can be solved easily and simply like most people. I tried to improve, I tried to be like them, to be more responsible, think things straight, deal with my problems the way they do, not overthink myself about the many possibilities of bad encounters simply because I feel bad doing such things to them but in actual, they didn’t even think badly or too much about those things. I often got confused myself and even thought that I am c - - - y for a lot of times, being accused as someone who abused certain things, being accused of being selfish, of being irresponsible, arrogant, weird, creepy and so much more. It hurts so much inside when even the smallest insincere gestures, sarcasms, comments, being denied or silenced about something so small and unimportant but to me, those things are real, important and cause a lot impact within my heart. I am so tired having to force myself to get up and live in that cycles of the unknown where I could really change my mood in a split second that will either lead to an outrage or to a more common emotional breakdown alone for a good 30 minutes before getting back to my usual self. I just wanna be normal like everyone else and I’m not even depressed when those things happened.

It rings very true.. trying to get the bottom of it.. I have lived on the ocean, in the jungle, in the city and sometimes in between.. and I have lived on that circle over and over.. There are no perfect place as I try to avoid the trouble. Before discovering myself an INFJ, I followed as rules demands it wherever I lived.. and it is much difficult to live in the city.. too much Se.. lived near the ocean you would have less Se when you came out of it, you practically left behind in everything.. live in between, you have just enough Se, and still not growing.. When I discovered myself, this had been bad for my Fe.. I'm more connected with nature than people, I wished people appreciate nature more.. and respect it more, I feel like we aren't understanding our action and now we faced consequences of our action.. And the brewing wars.. I really hope, no.. I expect people will be better this time.. everything that had been build has been good enough for goodness sake.. Where am I going with this? Fe is really important but if you past 21 you are most likely enjoy singing "I am creep" all the time.. and talking intellectually with no action as always.. maybe let your close circle brings your vision to reality.. Now I'm back in the city with every problems I'm trying to avoid.. in hindsight, all the preparations had been paying off as I had been predicting it.. you can't always figure it out.. for all of you INFJ out there, I do hope you can sense where your life is going.. so you can at least prepare for the worse..

Personally I have went through some of my hardest times in the last few years but a new chapter is about to begin. In some ways I’m hesitant to open the book and wondering if it will happen on its own at the right time or if it is our nature to resist for long as possible or maybe we just need to be willing to see it.

I know this will pass, humans are stubborn that way. Every time the world is going through something I feel it too it's a blessing and a curse. From my point of view, the rest of the world wasn't meant to just go 'still' life was meant to move on and people were meant to fill the streets while /I/ observe haha.

This is odd-I’ve been chewing on this exact topic in my head for especially the past few days, and perhaps months. I’m about to enter college as a freshman, and I’m on the path to the expected life of an American college student: go to college, probably grad school, find a job, settle down. But I dream of exploring Australia for at least a year, and this video has cemented my belief that I should go for it. It’s a separate trail from the norm, but I completely resonate with what you said about finding that “perfect wave” and doing what I want even if it diverges from the normal path. I want to say that everything you said in this video I 100% understood, and that I’m really glad you put this out there.
