Understanding the Master Function in Cognitive Psychology

The master function enables individuals to achieve self-mastery through the integration of cognitive functions.

### Understanding the Master Function: Pathway to Self-Mastery
* 🧠 The October CSJ conference introduced the concept of the "**master function**," which is essential for **achieving mastery in one's life**.
* 🤔 Attendees were invited to share their theories about the master function, leading to discussions about various psychological constructs, such as the **ego**, the **parent**, and the **trickster**.
* 📊 The master function is described as the **parent of the super ego**, allowing individuals to develop mastery through the **integration of their cognitive functions over time**.
* 🛠 Cognitive emulation is emphasized as a key method for achieving mastery, requiring individuals to **practice using all cognitive functions effectively**, similar to **mastering tools in a toolbox**.
* 🌱 The discussion highlighted how **personal responsibility and wisdom** are crucial for maturity and mastery, with references to archetypes like the **king, warrior, magician, and lover** representing different aspects of personal development.
* 💡 A significant point made was that mastery involves **understanding and integrating one's cognitive functions**, leading to a **deeper comprehension of oneself and others**, ultimately fostering **forgiveness and love**.
* ⚖ The conference concluded with reflections on the **importance of relationships and experiences in reaching mastery**, as well as the potential for **future advancements in understanding human psychology and artificial intelligence**.
* 💬 "Mastery of self is the ultimate goal of the **angelic super ego**," encapsulating the essence of the **master function** and its role in **personal growth**.

you pushing. Do you actually have a green board behind you or oh yeah. Welcome to the October CSJ conference. So yeah um but cool uh thank you gentlemen for being here uh. I wanted to talk about you know how I save some of the more cutting-edge related topics for this Ruby conference um. I wanted to talk about uh something I like to call the master function today. The function that is relating to mastery uh. So that's today's topic um and before I begin. I would like to ask um does anyone have any inklings or theories as to what they believe the master function may be uh. I'm G to adventure a guess Chase and say it is it uh the inferior function. Nope that's the aspirational but that's a good guess but similar into that vein uh the ego right. The master or all four of them. Wait are you talking just about one function or all four is one function. This is one specific function is known as the master function. Well that would be like the ego right. H the

driver the ego. Uh, no. Uh, it's the master function. Uh, its purpose is to, and I'll write the purpose right here on the board. Um, the purpose is to allow someone to reach mastery. Basically, you develop this function, and you reach mastery. Oh, the parent. Bingo, but not quite. You're on the right track. Excellent. Very close. Bingo, but not quite. Y. I mean, are you talking about using the hero and the parent together? Oo, getting warmer. Getting much warmer. Are you talking about the ego with the child? Getting warmer. I don't know. Oh, you. I know you're talking about when you're using your opposite side of you. Getting still warmer. Still. Uh, I. Uh, I. I will. Uh, start it going in a different direction. So, let's get some black ink together. Let's look at the four sides of the mind, shall we? Oh, you're going. Okay. All right. All right. So, four sides of the mind. Okay. And then, obviously, in order to develop, uh, things, um, we want to, uh, we want to have a responsible parent. You

know, and then we also have the critic as well. And then, um, over here, um, um, what is that? What is that term? Hold on, let me, let me look it up. I want to make sure I have the correct definition here. Oh, is it the second function in each side of the mind? Yes, yes, fancy. Um, okay. I don't want to use this term. I really don't want to use this term because it's not, it's not appropriate. Um, it's similar, but it's not the same. But I'll put it in here. I don't want to do this, but I can't find a better term. TI parents just like no odle, which is a Freudian term. Basically, it's when the child reaches maturity, basically within the subconscious. But like, according to Freud, it has a very sexual nature about it, which it can technically, because Freud is technically correct about that, because most people have sex with their subconscious. Actually, most, most people do, uh, primarily, and the most, most sexual activity takes place within the subconscious the majority of the time. I

would say probably 60/40 to 70/30 in favor of the subconscious, uh, sexually speaking, but I'm not using odole as a term for, like, sexuality. I'm just not, uh, in that regard, uh, but the function is specific. Al is known as this one right here. This is the master function, which is basically the parent of the super ego, the parent function of the super ego, and a super ego in its Angelic form. Okay, right now, I know that I've released a lot of the basics of Jungian analytical psychology, uh, you know, through our content on the YouTube channel, and I'm now getting into more of the intermediate stuff, at least in the Ruy conferences, um, but this is kind of an advanced concept. So let's actually look at, uh, the chain of custody as to how these functions develop and manifest over time, right? So over here, um, you have, um, you know, so you have the hero, right, um, and then you have the parent, parent, and then you have the

child right, but then you have the inferior right, then you have the Ally right. Well, the child has the adult right, the parent becomes like the grandparent, right? Okay, and then the hero becomes the Savior, right? So, are you saying that an ENFJ and an ENTJ would use their adult for fun in a sexual way? They can. So, but look at it this way, you know how people are trying to like rediscover their past as a child, you know what I mean, like to relive their youth? It's like this form of vicariousness. They live through their children vicariously, or some people are trying to rediscover their youth because of all the pain in their youth, or all the things that they never got to do as a child, that form of nostalgia. It kind of comes from that where their child function didn't receive any gratification as a child, so they have to do it in adulthood instead, right? It's the same kind of

concept. I mean like a kid at heart, exactly, kid at heart kind of a thing. Um, or it's like an adult who's never got to go to Disneyland as a child, goes to Disneyland by themselves later in life, right? So we have also um, so that would be like more like an ESTJ and ESFJ, right? The Extravert intuition would kind of use that as more of a novelty. No, they'd use extrovert intuition more responsibly within their subconscious. It would actually be more correct about its prognostications. It would become more responsible over time. It's an increase in responsibility, right? So aspirational, okay um, and then you have like the critic, you know, which ends up developing into a wisdom kind of approach. Then you have the trickster, also known as the unaware function, something that lacks mastery entirely, but it becomes the master, right? We have the demon, it becomes the angel, okay? Or you know, so does that kind of make sense how each of the cognitive

functions have like this developmental phase over time as they're developing into the other sides of their mind basically um so when I was I'm sorry go ahead go ahead J no I was just saying yeah I I I see what the direction you're going Chas with that I will state though that my te critic is unhappy with all the different terms right here because if you look at like grandparent for parent because of their relationships together here the credit function is actually technically like a grandparent function but then the parent function itself almost becomes a grandparent when the child reaches a adulthood as well so like our ctive functions are playing out all these different roles so what I'm saying is is that these terms here are still kind of being relatively defined in a better Matrix that would make a little bit more sense I understand the relationships that these have I'm just T critic is kind of fumbling right now over like the specific labels as to what they should be um I'm I'm welcome to listening to

feedback on that, but like the, uh, the critic versus wisdom and the parent, grandparent, those are kind of, or even child or all adult, the, uh, while it's very subjective, I'm trying to find stronger labels that would make more sense, but I'm presenting this to you as like a form of a model just to show you using examples. I'm not saying that these are the exact terms that they should be. I'm just saying like, use this as a model to understand that, you know, in terms of growth, people are pivoting back and forth, right, uh, you know, between these areas, and you can look at this also from this standpoint, um, you know, uh, you could kind of see like, wait a minute, you know, what if this is kind of a, what if this is the chaos Gateway and this is the orderly Gateway, you know what I mean, for each of the different functions as they're used, uh, when you're going through cognitive transition, mechanically speaking, you know. So just understand that there's a, there's a change that takes place with

you know each of the cognitive um Spectra and how they're used. You know, it's like having an initial attenuation when you're looking into a channel or a different Spectra from a radio transceiver, except you have better signal and you're increasing signal over time. Am I making any sense here? Yes, you're talking about the two-way radio. Yeah, so what does all this mean? So specifically to the master function right here, the master function is basically the upgraded trickster, which would mean that types like ESFP and ENFP, through the trickster, upgrading to a master function because it is TI trickster. It actually becomes TI master, which means they will finally accept and wield absolute truth. Did you go watch The Joker yet? No, I haven't seen that yet. Well, I mean, you use that in a lot of your episodes. No, I have, but I haven't watched it yet. Like, I will watch it. I just don't really have the

desire to see it because I'm one of those hardcore DC Comics Fanboys, and I also can't stand walking Phoenix either him, so I try to avoid him as much as possible. But yeah, like uh, he the only movie I ever like that he was in is The Village, not Space Camp, nope, don't care. I'm just just kidding, that's when he was like 10, fair enough. So because of the master function, a person can reach a high level of mastery, because if you look at cognitive emulation, you could use um, the hero, the parent, the child, the inferior, the villain to critic, and all of when all their powers combine, I am Captain Planet, right? You you know what I'm saying, like um, and when all their powers combine, they actually can start using their trickster function. It takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot of mental energy, it takes everything, but then they can actually understand the absolute truth. This is where an ENTP like myself with Fi trickster, I can wield the absolute good.

so I start out life thinking that there's absolute truth and living my life by absolute truth as much as I can. But then over time, as I develop myself, over time, and I start developing my super ego, and it becomes away from being more of a demon and more of an Angelic Force as a result of finding the humility afforded to me by my subconscious, a sense of personal responsibility afforded to me through my ego, and wisdom through my unconscious. I basically am able to then achieve Mastery, right? Mastery, the final result of that Angelic Force, right? And this is basically how it happens. You know, we're trying to so many times in our life because if you like midlife crisis, right? If you don't develop your subconscious, you will have a midlife crisis. That's what a midlife crisis is caused by. It's caused by your inferior function being underdeveloped, right? And you're going to reach a midlife crisis to do that. But, and to reach the crisis, you know, you

have an identity crisis though if you can't develop that level of Enlightenment or integration necessary to start taking over your super ego and developing it. That's why it takes a long time. People can develop their personal responsibility within their ego. Sometimes a person develops wisdom in their unconscious, but they have no concept of personal responsibility. How many times have we seen that happen? It happens all the time, actually. Look at it this way. I want to show you guys something else. This is where nurture and nature collide. Okay, look at this. What's all about having personal responsibility? Let's look at us in a male person. Oh look, we have King. Oh look, we have warrior, magician, lover. Think about that. If you are able to reach a high level of mastery such that you've gained all the understanding that you would necessarily need, if you really understand people, right? I'm going to bring up a meme. I'm going to share it on my screen here. It's a very, very important meme.

um let's uh let me bring up this image here. There you go. Here it is. You know too much psychology when you can't get mad because you understand everyone's reasons for doing everything. Let me adjust this meme slightly. Let me adjust it. You know too much psychology when you can't get mad because you understand everyone's reasons for doing everything such that because you understand everyone's reasons for doing everything, you can actually forgive them. And because you've forgiven everybody, you can love them, right? Let's go further. Let's go further. Let me bring up another meme. Um, let me bring up another one. goodreads.com. Got to love it. Here it is. Quote: In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him. And then in that very moment, I also love him. I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then in that very moment when I love them, I destroy them. It sounds like an ISFJ. It is. It's ISFJ subconscious.

actually, because this is an ENTP speaking. This um, the aspirational ISFJ subconscious and what, because that's what the V veto Corone did in The Godfather. He was an ISFJ or Michael. I'm sorry. All right, fair enough, although I've never seen The Godfather. Um, so um, let's look at this way. Uh, so let's look at what Jesus said. You have heard that it was said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. That you may be children of your father in Heaven. He causes his son to rise on evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect. So love your enemies. Why? Why? Why do this? Why bother? Well, it's because

without love, right? Without love, we find ourselves in a situation where we cannot, um, we find ourselves in a situation where, you know, like, like, here's a lesson that I learned. I feel guilty all the time because of Effie Child. It gets in the way of me growing and making decisions, right? What is a serious problem? It gets in the way. I have a hard time, you know, dealing with my guilts, my life, but, and then sometimes I end up making bad decisions, like not talking to a family member or staying in a relationship too long or staying in a job too long, lacking self-respect, right? Which could be a problem, but Effie Child, if I have the thought in my mind, it's like, well, wait a minute, nobody is innocent, literally nobody is innocent. So then I could feel better about myself and not be so guilty because it's like, at the end of the day, everyone's going to be judged anyway, so what's the point, right? What's the point? It's all going to

cancel out everything is going to cancel out, so why bother trying to be perfect? It's all going to cancel out. It's kind of, it's just as bad as someone who fights so hard in their life for money only to die, and all that effort that they spent trying to get money is absolutely meaningless, which happens all the time. Like, why? Why would you bother, right? So, based on that, you know, Mastery and reaching the master function and developing the master function, that's what you need to basically earn love. The archetype itself of the lover archetype is really something that comes out of, to have absolute love only comes as a result of having full Mastery of oneself. You can only achieve that through Mastery of oneself, all four sides of the mind. Because, like, we know, for example, you know, we can't until we get to a point where, you know, until we have the responsibility extracted from the ego or the humility extracted from the subconscious or the wisdom extracted from the unconscious. It's a, at that

point that the demon is actually willing to, you know, in be allowed itself to be integrated into the rest of the mind because the ego, the super ego, is competing with the ego. Excuse me, I said the ego. I meant the super ego because the super ego has this problem where you're irresponsible. Ego, I don't trust you. I'm very powerful. You want my power? Sure, I'll give you your power. I'll give you my power, but for a price, right? Or it's like, okay, yeah, you're responsible now, but you're arrogant. You got personal responsibility. You got King archetype. That's nice, but you're arrogant. Oh, you got Queen archetype. That's nice, but you're arrogant. So I'm not going to lend you my power. Not for a price. Then the deal with the Devil comes. Same thing with, oh, you're responsible. You're humble. You're so unwise though. Guess what's going to happen if you give me, if I give you, you know, my power. Everything's just going to explode.

because it's a lack of containment. I have a question, sure. So, would you say that with an INFP, right, getting into their super ego, is that their way of using art and hand tools and being creative? What you're saying, instead of it being, uh, what is that, would you change it to from super ego to, I can't remember what you just said with master. So, you ask that question again. So, say, you know, INFP and the ego, right, and then the super ego is the ISTP. Yeah, now, is that why an INFP is creative and uses hand tools to make their art that they do sometimes? They do, and because they're not using it as a super ego but as a master, yeah, they can achieve mastery that way. Look at it this way. I have an INFP on staff who has an ESTP father, and his SE hero pounded into that SI child all the skills that SI child would need to have to know in order to operate hand tools, for example. And then he's able to even create something far superior than

a typical ISFP would, in terms of a visual spectacle of art, right? Specifically because of that, because his OVA father hammered that into himself as an INFP, right? Absolutely hammered it into him, literally. And based on that, he's a lot further along than other people in terms of comparing himself, you know, INFP-wise to other INFPs, because his SE trickster. It doesn't matter if he has the trickster because he's so much closer to becoming that Master of reality, the master of mechanics, the master of physics, you know, because he's had all that training being applied to his SI child. And he's able to retain that and remember it, which means he's able to actually perform well in a physical environment. This is an INFP who can pick up a chainsaw and cut down a tree. Because remember, cognitive functions are like tools in a tool belt. How many times do, like, for example, SPS have that favorite tool that they like, a favorite tool, right? They use it over and over and over again, like a

favorite hammer or a favorite saw, all, or you know, it's just their favorite tool, and it's their go-to all the time. Sometimes they do tasks with that tool that that tool is not designed to do, right? That would be their hero function, right? That's why the hero function can get arrogant, because sometimes people use their hero function for tasks that the hero function is not designed to do, right? This is why you can get a TI hero who comes off super arrogant, and why a TI hero can actually be really, really wrong, even though their logic is flawless, but their inputs that they're basing their logic upon, you know, the TE assumptions that they're basing their logic upon, are completely incorrect, right? And this is what can cause some serious issues, right? And that's where that comes from. So when you're looking at the four sides of the mind in order to gain mastery, to develop the master function, which is basically your trickster function becoming the parent function of the super ego as it turns angelic, where you can, as an ESFP, ENFP

wield absolute truth, absolute objectivity. You know, it's also, if we think about it, has the master function, has such a connection of divinity because it's able to pipe all of the Divinity. Look at here, right? The master function is able to take all of its Divinity through the trickster all the way to the child. Because remember, it's the Divine Child that has his divinity, but through cognitive orbit, the child shares its Divinity with the trickster function down here, right? There's shared Divinity there. But then that Divinity is transferred to the master function when the trickster becomes the parent function of the super ego in its Angelic form, right? Okay, so when that happens, it has a form of divinity to it, which means they have absolute Mastery over that particular situation, doing the absolute good. So then when the ego goes, so let's say the ego, an ISP, let's reverse it, and they go into their Master as an INFP would. The ego become informative because they're in their

Master, no. They have the option to become informative and direct simultaneously. It's not like just some kind of switch. It's not a switch. It's more of being able to use everything simultaneously. Or, if they want, they could take that form, the entire form of that side of their mind, and solidify themselves momentarily for that specific amount of time. Or, they can bleed into all sides of the mind simultaneously and use all the tools simultaneously. Maybe less effective in that moment, but they have full access to everything, right? Think about it this way: you have, let's say, water, right? You pour water into, um, let's say it's like a sheet of wood, right? It's a wooden board with little nooks and crannies and pathways carved on the board. And if you pour water into it and you open all the gates on it, the water flattens itself out and it's flat across this entire wooden board. But if you close some of those pathways, the water is actually much

higher and more deeper in that area. So, if you look at the four sides of the mine on this wooden board, and there's crevices with which the water can flow on it. If you lock the water's ability, like an irrigation gate, to prevent the water from leaving, it will be really deep. But if you open those gates, the water level will go low and start going higher until it's all balanced out. You see what I'm saying? That's how cognitive functions work. Your soul, basically, or the energy of your soul, that chakras or whatever that energy is, is basically able to interface with your mind based on which gateways are open and which ones are closed. And they can go through those gateways in different ways, right? What happens when you go to a smaller gateway? Water pressure. If it goes through a smaller opening, it is very precise, it is very... the pressure is huge, and it's very... it's like a laser. It could be like a water laser going through it. What happens when the gate wide?

very chaotic, and it just flows through it, right? Our souls act like a similar substance, like water. The energy, the essence of our souls, is like water, right? And it's just going through the system, a construct, this interface that we call a brain or central nervous system. Basically, it's going through that. That energy, that spark of life, is going through it, and it could be focused or unfocused. If it's unfocused, you have chaos, IC transition. If it's focused, you have an orderly transition because it's more controlled, it's more patient. Does that make sense? And the ego, personal responsibility, humility, wisdom. Like, I'm sorry, folks, I'm literally telling you that our brains, our souls, we are machines. Like, I'm sorry, we're machines. We just haven't figured that out yet, and this is the Machinery behind how our souls work. Remember the water? If it's spread across a surface area, it's lower, but if it's concentrated in one area, it's deeper, right? This is how it works with dams, you know, and lakes, and in

inhibiting the ability for you know the water to move in those directions. That's literally what happens, right? It's exactly what happens. So, and it's no different, but in order to reach Mastery and turn our unaware function, where we are completely unaware of this thing, we become the most aware of this thing. So, when you have someone who has TI Trickster, they can become the most aware of absolute truth, even though hypocritically speaking, their entire lives they claim that absolute truth doesn't even exist. In as much as an ENTP like myself, who behaves amorally their entire life, hypocritically speaking, realizes there is such a thing as the absolute good, and they make decisions based on the absolute good. This was an example of this was an Avenger's endgame when Tony Stark sacrificed his life for all of reality for the sake of his ESS demon reality. He sacrificed his life and realized he took the Final Act of the absolute good and sacrificed himself through his FI Trickster, becoming FI Mastery, using The

Infinity Gauntlet to save all of reality instantly and killed himself in the process, right? That is fi trickster turning into fi Master where he absolutely had full understanding of the absolute good, and it happened in an instant. Why did it happen in an instant? Because of the huge amount of effort it takes for a person to have all their cognitive functions firing at the same exact time to be able to produce that one little, that one little, like one little spark. But that spark of that tricker becoming a master is so powerful, even if it just ignites for just one second, that boom, it's like an atom being split. And what is the reaction? It creates a chain reaction that just, you know, right? It's the same kind of concept, the master function. So the master doesn't have to be firing off all the time, but when it does, it's so powerful, it's reality-changing. Is that when you come up with your clever comments and can get away with it? Uh, I don't know. It depends who.

some people just say I'm a [Laughter] dick. So anyway, um, just understand that, like, you know, Mastery is important. When you read the, here's another example of Mastery. When you read the book, uh, Mastery by Robert Green, you can kind of see where he's coming from because he's like, when do you become a journeyman, right? Or when do you become a master? A journeyman is like 10,000 hours, right? Mastery is like 20,000 hours. When you master a skill, that's a lot of effort to master something. Just like it's an INTJ's, um, like trying to, to an INTJ's purpose to achieve Mastery. Mastery of Ethics, right? A Mastery of Ethics. They spend their whole life being unaware of ethical behavior and social rules and social norms such that the INTJ can become the ultimate social light and create an ethical, uh, ability where there is no, where there's no higher level of charity, for example, for the sake of those ethics. This is why ENFPs are the pedagogue type to the INJ as their

teacher because the ENFP can teach the INTJ how to become charitable because the Fe trickster learns from the Fe critic and takes the wisdom from the Fe critic to help develop. This is why human beings need to have relationships with each other. This is why when INTJs, for example, shut themselves out and have this problem and prevent themselves from having relationships with each other, even though I did go on record recently to state that it's actually, you know, INTJs should be allowed to be hermits if they want to and shouldn't be judged for it, which is absolutely true. But if they hermit too much and their life is out of balance, well then, they're not going to have as many relationships with people, which would inhibit their ability to develop their superego and reach that high level of mastery. Because remember the humility within the subconscious, a person gains mass, their, you know, they gain humility through developing their child function and causing it to become the parent function of the subconscious. And I know I'm using the term odle in

subconscious for this model, which is incorrect. It's very inaccurate, and I apologize. I need to get a better term there. It's the best I could come up with on short notice with this, but um, you know, the actual parent function in the ego is where someone learns personal responsibility, but the credit function within the unconscious is where someone learns wisdom, right? Right, it's all about wisdom, and that's just kind of where it comes from, you know? But you can't even begin to reach mastery within your super ego without exploding the world in the process until you've gained humility and the responsibility and wisdom to do so. Okay, now back to the four archetypes: king, warrior, magician, lover. Do you guys see how personal responsibility in a man gives them the ability to produce more than they consume? That's king or warrior with their subconscious, a powerful warrior versus like someone who's just being a hero, for example, right? And uh, I'd actually um, probably want to adjust uh, you know, savior's not accurate. Savior is more

kind of like an angelic thing. I'd actually want to switch this to hero versus warrior, actually. Um, so, because the warrior, the difference within the warrior archetype is basically a humble hero. That's what the warrior is. It's a humble hero because the warrior just does their duty. I'm going to save the town because I have the power to do so, and it's my duty, and I'm doing my duty, and it shouldn't be about all the glory and the self-aggrandizement. Oh, look at me. I slay the chant. I slayed the dragon. Give me all your booze and all your women to reward me for this. Heroes are always going out for the reward. It's why Jesus is constantly going after the teachers and the Pharisees, the law and the gospels, like, Hey, you guys, you guys dress in fine robes and you walk around on the streets, you know, praying as loudly as possible, and then when you give to the temple and you're putting your money into the temple coffers, you

do it in front of everybody so you can so everyone can see you. Well, I tell you the truth, you've received your reward in full. Whereas this is where Jesus says, Do this in secret so your father in heaven will reward you, not doing it in front of other people so you can make yourself look good, right? That's the difference, right? And that's because that's what the hero does, but the warrior does it for the sake of doing it because it's the right thing to do. That's why a hero who has humility is able to develop the warrior archetype through the subconscious. King is reached through someone achieving personal responsibility and producing more than they consume and wisdom, the wisdom necessary to the magician archetype itself. King, warrior, magician, lover, the magician itself is able to utilize wisdom, you know, and wisdom needs containment because if it doesn't, then you have nuclear weapons versus nuclear power. It's absolutely critical. This is why a person's maturity. You can be personally responsible, but you could

still also be immature at the same time. This is why a person's maturity is actually really developed to the unconscious and not the ego. Because even the ego, someone who's personally responsible, you can have an INF check who has a job, is producing more, they consume, they have their own place, their own car, their own life, but they also have a TI child God complex with their very arrogant subconscious, ESTP subconscious, because they don't understand Warrior, right? And then because of that, they just kind of go downhill from there, and then they're not really wise about it, right? That's why maturity is more developed within the wisdom of the unconscious, you know, as a result, right? Would you say an ENTJ gets into their ESFJ Master? Is that when they're bouncing ideas off of the group to figure out what they want to do? No, that's more ISFP subconscious, ENTJ ego. When they're being ESFJ, they are recognizing that it's

their duty as the leader of that group to be giving and take care of the people of that group because if they don't take care of that village and give with and give generously without expecting uh strings attached without care taking but they are actually caregiving to their village because they're the chief of their village of that group basically the chief of that group with no strings attached because even the entj recognizes that they couldn't have gotten where they are without the people who are underneath them. This is why immature uh underdeveloped entjs treat people like numbers instead of people and that's why people say that entjs are so greedy. So then if you had a parent or or let's say a mother is an ESFJ and you were entj child that could be a recipe for what did you say that again. So if you have let's say you're an entj is a kid growing up with a ESFJ uh narcissist narcissistic mother let's say what kind of recipe would you call

that well, uh, the anj will either mirror their mother's behavior and become even more greedy as a result because people have a way of going to extremes when they're underdeveloped, or the high camaraderie between the two would kick in and that they would learn from each other and both mutually develop. It just really depends, but you also have to understand that the father figure has to also be present in order to properly nurture the son. But good luck finding that in this society, and my source material on that would be Waren Frell's U Boy Crisis H book. Uh, quite frankly, it's really hard to say, um, in that regard. Again, people need to have relationships and trial and error and failure and successes in relationships, sexual relationships, friendships, business partnerships, uh, kinds of relationships that have to do with family as well as parenting in order to reach the humility, the responsibility, and the wisdom necessary to achieve mastery. Mastery of self, basically. It's absolutely necessary. So, okay, um, cool, uh, so yeah, that's basically in a nutshell what the mastery function is um.

Cognitive emulation is one of the main pathways to achieve mastery because if you're emulating a function, it's you're kind of practicing to use that other tool. Just understand like in the eight cognitive functions, eight tools in your tool belt, you have some favored tools over others, etc. Right? You have those favored tools. Sometimes you need to master the other tools in your tool belt that you're kind of more preferenced. You prefer to use certain tools over others. You need to kind of understand how to use all of those tools to be able to understand that one tool. You have no clue how to even use first because then you're able to. It's kind of like playing Minesweeper. When you're playing Minesweeper, you're trying to find all the mines, right? You do that through finding little baby steps, through finding all the mines to be able to expose all of them, right? And you have some tools that use are easier than others. Sometimes you just have to take a guess and hope you're not hitting.

a mine, you see what I'm saying. It's like stuff like that. You're learning how to use your other cognitive functions. You're learning how to use all the other tools. You're learning how to use all of those safe spaces to calculate exactly where that mine is. It's just like algebra. If the variable that's missing in your equation is X, x equals the trickster. You know, 2 * x + 3. 3 equals 15. You know, example, what solve for x. You have to know all the other variables first and master all the other variables first before you can even get to the missing X Factor, the mixing X variable, which is the trickster function, the unaware function. So, the trickster function also AR, typically speaking, it's just kind of reminiscent of how you have to develop the super ego. You can't develop super ego until you do everything else first, right? It's the same thing. This is why you can't take the expedient route and just go right to the Demon's power.

you have to do the long road, the straight and narrow road, right? Not the wide easy path, right? And that's how you reach self-mastery, and that's how you develop the Mastery function. So, and uh, that concludes uh the October C a conference. Um, hopefully uh you guys found it of uh use this time around, getting a little bit deeper into these cognitive mechanics. Um, hey Jay, you have a question? Yeah, I was just gonna say I appreciate Chase. It's um, it's fascinating me how it continues to, you know, just get deeper and deeper and how this all relates to each other. Um, yeah, like I'm, I'm finally marrying nurture into nature here. Exactly. This is only intermediate. We haven't even gotten to Advanced yet. Well, I, I thought this was pretty Advance frankly. All good man, but um, but uh, I mean it, it, it makes a lot of sense. The question is though, and you've alluded to it before, is as I guess as people get older but not necessarily associated with age really.

but perhaps as they become more mature, it becomes harder to identify type, right? It seems like all this is just part and parcel to that complication and identification, right? Is that right? Um, yeah. So how can you tell when somebody is, you know, fully integrated or using their Mastery or those kinds of things, or is it possible? It kind of is. You start to get to the point where you are able to utilize a typ grid in such a way, or you're able to identify cognitive Focus. But I haven't actually talked about how to mechanically determine someone's cognitive Focus, which is like a previous Ruby conference that we talked about before, right? I haven't been able to get to that point. Um, and that's a serious issue because then you're starting to talk about multi-vector approaches to the type grid. There are eight total vectors to the type grid that I currently have, except in doing research recently, we just found another one. It's like, ah, except it's actually 16 additional vectors to the typ grid.

actually, and it's like a completely different form of cognitive access analysis. Why is this relevant? The point is, it is possible for you to determine these things, but again, just like developing the trickster function, you have to solve for x. It literally becomes an algebraic equation. Actually, if you want to go further, it's a calculus-based equation at that point. This stuff is going to get so well-defined, you could actually take an advocate out and calculate for someone's soul base and assess them appropriately. It is actually possible. I wonder if, you know, biblically speaking, if all the books being open before everybody at the end of days and everyone's being judged, if such calculations or calculators exist within those books. You know what I'm saying? That'd be really scary because then we'd actually really be able to see exactly where everyone's development is. And this goes back all the way to Egyptian lore. If we go to ancient Egypt, for example, when you're looking at how like do your does your

heart weigh like a feather. You see what I'm saying? It's the same kind of concept. So technically, you could look at where a man's area is in king, warrior, magician, lover to kind of determine. So you have to use human nurture analysis to figure out how to solve for x, x being nature. You see what I'm saying? Like that's the approach. Um, now how to actually do that. I have a theory, but I don't know the actual practical application. Now that's not to say like because the software that we're developing right now, we will be able to get to that point, but it may happen. I might be dead before that's done. I just know it'll happen inevitably, right? Like, like I said, guys, this is how sentient AI is created. We have to understand these concepts. These are prerequisites to sentient AI. So like even Revelation chapter 9, the prophecy of the image that the Beast creates, etc., which is basically artificial intelligence. That prophecy can't come true until all of this, until humanity masters

this stuff, this science, basically to be able to develop the sentient AI. That's exactly what it is because AI will be developed based off of this research. Yep, yep. So, to get to that point, what do we do? And again, I know I talk a lot about biblical concepts and the like. It's just my extroverted intuition can walk on the similarities big time. Everyone's like, Oh, you just have such a biblical focus. I'm like, Well, I use a lot of occultic stuff, a lot of new age stuff, and some Islam-related things, but not so much. I have a really hard time utilizing Islamic metaphors and symbology to explain my things because a lot of those symbols I just either don't understand or I don't see how they link together. I'd be, it'd be easier for me to take a more Daoist approach, quite frankly, in almost every way. So, but yeah. Okay, folks, um, that's basically about it. That's all I have. That's some good questions, um, and

uh I'm going to try to like make this a little bit better for when this comes out in the future, but uh, but yeah, that's the master function, folks, and the purpose of the Angelic super ego is ultimately Mastery of self, total Mastery of self. All right, wow, thanks Chas, awesome. Well, uh, thank you all for coming to the uh October CSJ conference, and thank you for participating, and uh, I'll see you guys next month, and uh, thank you also for being patrons. I very much hope that you folks uh will continue to be so um, otherwise uh, you folks have a good night, and uh, I'll see you guys next time. All right, you too, bye, later.

The Master Function| The Cutting Edge| CS Joseph

C.S. Joseph

The Master Function and Its Role in Mastery

The master function is a specific function that helps individuals reach mastery.

It is related to the development of the four sides of the mind: the hero, parent, child, and inferior.

The master function's purpose is to provide guidance and responsibility, ultimately leading to personal growth and mastery over time.

The Developmental Phases of Cognitive Functions

Cognitive functions evolve over time, playing different roles similar to a family dynamic.

The master function is an upgraded version of the trickster, allowing individuals to wield absolute truth.

Personal responsibility and wisdom are crucial for achieving mastery, and underdeveloped functions can lead to midlife and identity crises.

Understanding psychology can lead to forgiveness and love for others, making it difficult to feel anger.

The speaker reflects on the idea that truly understanding someone can lead to love, even for an enemy, and questions the need for perfection.

They emphasize the importance of self-mastery and integration of the mind's different aspects to achieve true love and personal power.

The INFP's Creative Mastery Through Hand Tools

INFPs use art and hand tools creatively, drawing from their super ego's influence, particularly from ISTP traits.

An INFP with an ESTP father can achieve mastery in using hand tools, creating superior art through the father's training.

Cognitive functions act like tools, allowing individuals to simultaneously use different functions for mastery and divinity, ultimately leading to a unique skill set and physical competence.

The Interplay of Soul Energy and Cognitive Functions

The soul's energy interfaces with the mind through open and closed gateways, similar to water flow in a mine.

The soul's energy can be focused or unfocused, leading to either chaos or order in its transition through the brain and nervous system.

Mastery of cognitive functions can lead to a powerful, reality-changing impact, as seen in the example of Tony Stark's sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame.

The Importance of Relationships for Personal Development

The ENFP can teach the INTJ about charity, highlighting the need for human relationships in personal growth.

INTJs may struggle with forming relationships, which can hinder their development and mastery.

The four archetypes (king, warrior, magician, lover) illustrate the importance of personal responsibility and humility in achieving wisdom and maturity.

The Role of Entj Leaders and Mastery Development

Entj leaders have a duty to care for their group, recognizing the importance of those underneath them.

Immature Entjs may treat people as numbers, leading to perceptions of greed.

The development of mastery involves emulating cognitive functions and understanding the use of all tools in one's "tool belt," while also requiring relationships and experiences for personal growth.

The Complexity of Identifying Cognitive Focus

Identifying a person's cognitive focus and mastery can be challenging, especially as they mature.

The speaker has developed a type grid with eight vectors, recently discovering an additional 16, to analyze cognitive access.

Theoretically, it may be possible to calculate someone's development and soul base, raising questions about the existence of such calculations in biblical judgment.
