It is funny,around here "Sensor" is a insulting slur. In fact in this strange little world I bet a racial,ethinic,or sexual jokes could all be taken pretty lightly. But damn! You call someone "senorish" and those are fighting words!
Yet for all of us (INTP) our tertiary function is just that, senorish! Si to be exact! While my secondary Ne feels as a familair tool, like my car. My Si, while sometimes powerful,in often unfamlair. Albeit never alien, like Fe. It can be mystical at best, and unwieldy other times. Today of all days it is most unwiedly! But that is another that is another post (http://forums.intpcentral.com/showpost.php?p=171707&postcount=60).
Sometimes Si is cool. It is developed enough to be powerful and respected, but primative enough to be magical and a little dangerous! My Si is most glorious when I feel myself in time. The first time I stood at the based of Cheops at Giza in 2000, it was amazing. I had myself, my life, my being, then the whole of eternity as a touch stone before me as a massive monument of blocks. When I have walked or even flown over the country side of Scotland I can't help but feel connected to the past, who was there. Their connection to myself, the passage of time. The "wholeness" of it all. The balance of time, and my place in it. Sometime when walking the street of an ancient city in Europe I can feel the fabric of eternity give a bit. I can sense the meaning of it all, in the stones, in the streets, the buildings around, the peoples and their faces. All this contrasts with who I am, what I am,and what I am doing. This now is as if I cummune with the whole of mankind. Our past, our meaning, what it is to be.
Today however is my birthday, and I am not in Europe I am only pondering the streets of the city in my mind. This "ville" is lost for now, and finds such introsecption violently upseting. If now I was still killing time in Egypt with my childhood friends I am sure this wave of Si would be all warm and funny, with the weight of the Sphinx to validate it all.
