Intuition

[zenmaster]

I read a theory in a book once which I agree with that theres two modes or style of thinking: logic/intellect and emotion/intuition, and that in general males use the first slightly more and in general females use the second slightly more. I use the first alot more, making me sort of a vulcan or robot, any tips on how I could reach a better balance? I assume meditating more, relaxing more in situations id feel uncomfortable in, opening up to people more, etc. I find I'm often bad at coming up with topics of conversation, I often worry when I make new friends that one day I'll run out of things to talk about with them. And my intution is much weaker than almost everyone I know. I'd really like to improve in this area, to embrace the - shall I say - art loving female archetype.

Jung described four primary mind-faculties: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. To use Ra's terminology, the thinking and sensation standpoint is from space/time to time/space (part to whole), while the feeling and intuition are the reciprocal: from time/space to space/time (whole to part).

Myers-Briggs found that males on average tend to be 60% biased towards thinking with females 60% biased towards feeling.

Intuition is a perception that tells you where something is going and from where it came. Sensation is also an immediate perception involving the senses. Jung considered both of these faculties as "irrational", since no actual evaluation of the information is made.

Feeling and Thinking are "rational" judgments, in that they involve evaluation rather than perception. What you evaluate is also stored as actual knowledge (Ra's experience-of-mind archetype or the authority figure we see depicted by the emperor tarot card). It is not possible to "polarize" (to use Ra's terminology) without such evaluation.

BTW, feeling and intuition are often confused because they both involve time/space (whole-to-part, or immediate acausal) perspectives.

I can guess that if your intuition is "weak", then it's reciprocal, your sensation experience, is strong. Maybe you are an artist.

To reach a better balance, you simply do things which require the use of your less-dominant faculties.
