🟠 Seeing What Others Miss
... We might also say, making meanings others don’t ‘get’ ...
Thank you to Rodger for the invitation to bring this over from my group. I'm writing for INFPs, but ENFPs will experience this too. I'm interested if INFJs resonate. Or anyone, regardless of personality type! I think more people are heading into this realm of perception as the veils lift and awakenings spread like a Mexican wave across the planet.
We’re very creative. Very imaginative. Our creativity and intuition are sometimes described as our ability to connect dots others can't see.
This is a gift, for sure, but can land us in trouble.
Seeing hidden meanings and possibilities in a world that prefers to stick to the obvious and the practical, well, it’s not always welcome, is it?
Our unique ways of making connections, creating patterns, allotting meanings, seeing possibilities ... all lead to unusual ideas. There is such a marvellous variety of styles of creativity.
We’re not all going to agree about everything, even when we’re the same personality type.
But as INFPs, we are able to see each others’ points of view. And sometimes we reassess and change our minds. Or just hold new perspectives along with the ones we already had.
I’m not going to ask you to name times when you’ve seen what others have not, and it’s been unwelcome to mention it. I’m guessing we all have scars from pointing to an ‘elephant in the room’ that others are determined to deny. The world ‘out there’ is full of examples of that! If you want to talk to me by DM about anything like that, I’m here for you.
🔸 Instead, where or when has this superpower lifted you? Where do you notice it in action? 🔸
Perhaps you find it just kind of operates all the time in the background, as your way of seeing the world.
In me, I’ve seen it in action with groups of friends in the past, where I catch a lot of nuances between folks and, in my mind, I have a kind of multidimensional pattern of emotional connections between them all. And each person has a ‘flavour’, an energetic signature. I couldn't have described it quite like that, back then. But that's how it seems to me now.
I guess I’ve used that, then, to construct a world of emotional and physical connections in my stories, particularly in the fantasy novel I got half-written last year.
Those characters are very much alive in me. I wonder, are they now living out lives in the imaginal realm, because I gave my energy to their creation? Or did they exist already and just come and suggest themselves to me? Just a bit of whimsy to ponder!
