Subconscious development and Unconscious development as it relates to focus and right left brain development.
Exploring the research of S.c. Joseph
I have been really looking into and participating in C.s, Joseph’s website and research. He talks about the 4 quadrics{within specific temples (soul/templar, heart/wayfarer-pirate. body/crusader. and mind, philosopher)} of ego, unconscious, super-ego, and subconscious, and how they form an octogram relating to spring/summer cognitive developmentSD and fall/winter cognitive development UD.
Then too he posits that when alone the SD has unconcious focus Uf and the UD type has Sf focus when alone.
Further he says that SD men are introverted/imploders (think Captaian Kirk with all his gravitas telling Spock “We’ve got to risk implosion”- well I suppose so but heaven help us)-and SD women are extraverted/exploders (think mouthy, explosive bossy boss (they are nit bossy Beyonce says “I’m not bossy, I’m the boss”. When the development and focus is UD Uf, or SD Sf there is generally an identity crisis.
Visa versa for UD; the men are extraverted/exploders and the women are introverted /imploders.
This is one of the most important factors to first access when practicing typology which we’ll get into in a bit. It, in understanding the octogram and temples is a big key in typecasting and is much more effective then simply focusing on cognitive origins which I will address later to give a better understanding. It is such for instance the cognitive origins of introversion/extroversion can be confusing without taking this into account.
I should mention that UD and SD with focus are generally not compatible in relationships. But more interesting than that is the relationship of cognitive development with reference to McGilchrist”s research into brain development.
From what I gather from bicameral brain development, the right brain takes precedent in infamy to childhood. Then in childhood there is a pruning in the nurturing of the right brain as it pertains to ego development. The Developmental stage is decidedly Right brain, it is context dependent and with perspective, feeling and the heart are connected to all that is with respect to bodily experience such as fight and flight, and integration and struggle of dopamine receptors in relation to real feeling in which vectors of karmic struggle and battles are imprinted. the table is set.
In Puberty a step back, or a step into the fruits of the table, a taking of the left brain, happens. This is the stage of SD. In a sense it is worldly ego identity being formed.
Also, I think according to C.s. Joseph, the SD and Sf favors harmony, emphasis on social harmony, and the UD and Uf favors something (I forget, like individual expression, over harmony). And remember when the SD is alone they are Uf oriented and the UD is Sf with respect to sustained attention and stability.
To understand how this progression works let’s first look at a type grid copyrighted by C.s. Joseph, INFJ, perhaps my type. For reference, Ni refers to the cognitive origin of introverted intuition (Ne is extroverted intuition), Fe is extraverted feeling cognitive origin, Ti is introverted intuition, and Se is extraverted sensing.
The subconscious SD is to the right of the ego. In my case that is the soul temple type ESTP (Myers /Briggs) in my mind temple, because I am ego soul temple type INFJ. Therefore the counterclockwise movement, if that is a thing (I think it is more like reciprocal toroidal field UD/SF) passes through INFJ Soul temple ego. It is driven with the primary, dominant inverse to UD SD relationship of Ego/Superego then to the ENFP heart unconscious with unconscious focus in the progression as input, ESTP to. process by the ego INFJ, to output by the ENFP, and finally feedback from the super ego ISTJ. So to the right of a soul temple ego is the mind and to the left is heart and opposite the soul type is the body. Thus for an ESTP soul temple type the mind is in ISTJ and the heart is INFJ. And opposite in the body is ENFP. For Mind/philosopher temple types body is to the right (subconscious, and to \the left of ego/mind is the soul in unconscious. The heart is opposite to the mind. It works thusly with all four temples regarding heart body soul and mind. The drive of SD Uf is thus ego driven, service to self, and generally there is some kind of feedback from the super ego. If the implosion is successful and positive it reflects a kind of spiritual growth and experience. This is especially true during the transition of growth of the left brain teenager to the right brain adult in 18 to 25 time period.
An example of this process in myself as an SD Uf introverted exploder teenager is that I would become depressed (right brain reality check) and develop a crush on a girl. It didn’t matter who they were for me in some ways, it was sort of arbitrary or up to the fate, and I loved them flaws and all. Often silently, but the confession would be unrequited-always tragically. I would become depressed again, but then in heroic wishful thinking, a different crush would develop after I mustered all courage and hope. This pattern and cycle continued until finally it broke me. I had had enough. At 17 almost 18 the transition to final stage growth of right brain development began and I discovered reality in UD focus in existential crisis, including the enabled pain of mother’s entitled spoiling that had imprinted in early development.
This is the magic trick that happens at this time.
A good foundation is required for a smooth transition to UD cognitive development, and really this is where the work begins, beyond the UD Uf identity crisis there must develop in UD extravert /imploder, the sustained attention of Sf harmony for the progression of service to others to be good. This is because the aches/access of the Superego Body for INFJ) is through the child and angel /demon of ESFP (for INFJ) heart. For a woman I understand that they are extravert/exploders in SD and introvert/imploders in UD.
This has a lot of ramifications for society because if you go out and to a bar or something generally the people out there are UD extravert/exploder men and extrovert/exploder SD women. its a bad combo. Extroverted/exploder men are considered dangerous by the prevalent SD culture because they threaten to challenge the left brain SD prevalence in culture.
It also continues a cycle of being “locked in” because of trauma and absent parents. Think about it. The trauma. A man can become locked into SD because of being doddled and coddled by a mother. And this spoiling can be seen in the entitlement in our society for young women too. All the while the introvert/imploder UD woman doesn’t get much attention because she doesn’t go out much and become familiar enough to develop a crush on a man, especially if he is busy chasing selfish, self centered SD women.
Another way to look at it is how we treat our pets sometimes, because to a degree they also have some aspect of UD and SF cognitive dynamics. I have seen spoiled female cats become mean and bossy to other cats and conversely I have seen spoiled male cats become lazy and unmotivated.
other pets was encouraged to cuddle and get as close to me as possible but then get mad at the male and attack if male gets any attention. Its not always SD UD dynamics but when it is I just say go outside and be true to your nature and develop a relationship with each other. Work it out according to type.
Conversely, I have cats that were not to tame as kittens, being more interested in being a cat, but as adults have become incredibly loving. It is a sight to see and a beautiful gift.
“We must become as little children.” That is for me Input UD ESFP, process in Superego ISTJ, output in mind ESTP, and feedback in Ego (soul) INFJ. “You will know them by their fruits” and work.
This process happens for everyone but there is a tendency to fight it and become “locked in” to SD and the old left-brained patterns, and for the truly evil it is a decision to do so, to access the superego as sometimes professed by Jung and those circles.
The next topic in this field will be about how to typecast. I must admit I am not very good at it,\. I can have precision with people I am familiar with. The key is to not focus on individuals cognitive origins, Rather focus on the temples and the octogram and cognitive pairings. There is tremendous research being done in this field, Particularly systems are being explored where anybody can typecast and be food at it. This includes not just using logos but perception sensing as well, , accessing all the cognitive origins for accuracy. There is indeed a biology and lol phrenology to typing based somewhat on appearance. LHeartL in the spirit of know oneself it is important understand and forgive in the spirit of perspective and in understanding move beyond projections.
