Si - how to discover it

[Myst]

I don't really know how to answer the things that came up

Si is basically a parallel sensory experience running alongside with the outer experience, being attached to it. I see a tree, visually, but it always comes together with the additional introverted component (Si).

This introverted component is hard to describe, but good candidates for descriptions are words as: organic, genuine, old, patina, sensory depth, (see Jung)

This is what Socionics is referring to when they describe Si as "aesthetics".

Actually that's not what Socionics sources refer to, ever. Jung is different here.

I knew someone who told me once that he had a parallel thing running in his head while also being aware of his environment. Like idk, images, imagery of it. Same person told me he once was driving in winter and there was snow outside, the window was not open but it was like he was smelling the snow anyway.

(And no he didn't type as Si lol and there is no point in categorising this, to me)

I'm saying that's the phenomenon behind what Socionics calls "aesthetics" and Si. Socionics never explains it or doesn't know it.

The things I have explained in this thread are normally not something one is aware of. I hope you understand that. It's not like "I have a parallel thing running in my head". It's only through carefully observing and analyzing that one can draw that conclusion.

Yeah. I lost it when my brain was injured and I only came to this realization when somebody else talked about it and until then i only knew "something essential is missing" or "a part of me is gone" and couldn't give it a name.

Because of that, I was going to argue that it's universal. But I guess if I'm 4D Si it's allowed lol. (I still feel it must be universal but I'm terrified of an argument because I'm so emotionally invested.. I'll go with it. )

You don't wanna see things without contamination, at least not as more than a thought experiment, trust me dude....
