Myers - Briggs & Samadhi

Summary

, 18 min

The four binary choices behind Myers-Briggs personality types (extrovert or introvert, sensing or intuiting, thinking or feeling, judging or perceiving), presented as a mask of personality formed in early childhood. Studying that mask points to the conscious awareness beneath it. It also explains why samadhi need not feel like death: only the personality winks out.
