    It seems that all introverted functions are related to the ancient primitive things. But most of my understandings come from rational functions since I have Ti and Fi in my mental ring. Especially this sentence by Jung.

Thanks to the relatively great internal (as well as external) similarity of the human being, this effect can actually be achieved, although a form acceptable to feeling is extremely difficult to find, so long as it is still mainly orientated by the fathomless store of primordial images.


    It seems that subjective is not that subjective, it's something rooted in our evolution.

    yes, I agree. The information comes from the psyche itself, which is rooted in evolution. The introvert is based in the processes of his own psyche. In case of Si, it is definitely not "personal" or ego-related.

    You mentioned Fi. I think Fi has often been misunderstood as just "personal opinions", but it seems to be deeper than that.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
