What are those psychological faculties that you refer to, zenmaster? And how are they related to the processing of time in our experiential nexus? I would be grateful if you can answer.
Also cups, wands, pentacles/coins, and swords from the expanded tarot.
Intuition and feeling are time (yin) based, while thinking and sensation are space (yang) based. Intuition and sensation are irrational (no act of evaluation) and perception based. While thinking and feeling are rational (evaluational judgement performed) and participatory.
Thinking and feeling- based evaluations or acts of will are actually what we use to create experience which allows us to 'polarize' (we are finding a 'way' by accepting / owning something of the logos). The emporer tarot card is depicted as the 'authority' figure due to this role.
