Mind Transformation 334

Jung.
So now it’s time to talk a little bit about Jung’s book “Psychological Types.” I almost finished reading the book and there are many things I would like to clarify.
First of all, I need to figure out what Jung wanna say when he talks about four types of predominant functions like thinking, feeling, intuition, and sensation. As for me, I can clearly understand only the first function, whereas other three are somehow mixed together and almost undifferentiated. 
Then, I have to consider all these types in relation to the direction of the psyche; like when it’s oriented towards objects (extravert) or subjects (introvert). Probably it’s worth to find a few examples and analyze their behavior in different situations—
Stop. Is it really a good idea to study all these details and spend time on that? I mean I can grasp it intuitively without digging deeply into the ground. By the way, I use this knowledge in order to improve my writing and linguistic skills in general. I’m not going to become a Jungian psychotherapist, though have an intention to apply it for my personal development. One of his techniques called “active imagination” seems very interesting. I want to learn more about it. I would say that I already use something like that in my practice. “The Hour of Thinking” is almost the same exercise, but, unlike Jungian exercise, I don’t focus my attention on coming images but put the stream of consciousness into written sentences. Anyway, this stuff may be useful not only for a practical application. I just like to know more about functions of the psyche and techniques for their development. It’s always interesting to think about it.
