I gave you all I own put you on this golden but what's up ego hackers welcome to the Cs Joseph podcast I am your host CS Joseph this is season 35 episode one what are the god functions oh holy smokes CS Joseph doing seasonal content on YouTube and on the podcast again yeah it's been a long time coming besides I decided to uh fulfill a promise that I made to this audience years ago many years ago and uh that promise was that I would in effect uh start giving explanation as to what exactly are the god functions and I hinted at them at a couple of videos like two two and a half years ago maybe even three years ago as uh we've just passed our or are passing our 5-year anniversary of uh the channel and uh which is pretty exciting if you think about it but yeah the god functions it's been a long time coming we had to uh flesh out all the content relating to the four temples and and the temple Wheels uh before we got to this point but knowledge of the god functions is so important and so radical uh when it comes to um yion analytical psychology four siiz Dynamics which is basically four siiz than mind interpretation of uh yion analytical psychology uh also anything related to Myers bra's type indicator uh as we still use their uh four four lettering system which yeah it's inaccurate yes Jared Von I know it's inaccurate yes I know you would prefer US changing it because it's not really correct but we use it for SEO and people Googling uh this stuff and that's why I do it so not going to change it makes it easier for people to find us on YouTube or on the podcast so anyway that's what I do and that's how I'm going to roll so yeah outdoor Chase walking around it's been it's been too long folks it's been very long since I've done this but uh getting back into the swing of things and having Chris Taylor's support with the acolyte questions because we have a very large volume of acolyte questions uh coming in every month and uh to get his assistance uh has been fantastic I meet with him on a weekly basis we discuss the questions we discuss the answers for the questions and then uh we assign them between each other and then we get them uh filmed and distributed out uh to all of you folks so special thanks to the acly members who pay for that service and keep the lights on and uh keep this business running and also all the families involved with running this uh organization Fed so special thanks to all the acolytes out there for being loyal and uh sticking around with us all the way through so yeah and uh because of their uh generous Financial contrib tion same with the journey with members and you could become as Journey with member is/ members we felt that it was finally time to start reintroducing new seasons uh to YouTube and the podcast as well and uh for this particular case we are going to be discussing the god functions which is absolutely fascinating so introduction to the god functions or what are the god functions which is the name of this particular playlist of season 35 but it is also uh the you know this is the introduction episode before we go into super deep as to uh what exactly the god functions are at least from a personality type perspective and how they affect the personality types but let's let's actually discuss first where the god functions come from and uh they come from our understanding of the four temples so every single person regardless of type belongs to one of the four temples there is the soul Temple which is the ego of humanity the heart Temple which is the unconscious of humanity the Mind Temple which is the subconscious of humanity and the body Temple which is the super ego of humanity from a macro level a macro psychological perspective right so from this point of view uh this macro psychological perspective everyone belongs to these temples the soul Temple is about character it's also about um you know being desirable the heart Temple is all about reaching acceptance and it's also about personal freedom and passion and then uh and then it's uh its main element is fire going back to the soul Temple its main element is water and then uh the Mind Temple it's all about performance it's also all about the truth and its main element is wind and then you have the body temple with its main element as the Earth and it is most concerned about what is Left Behind it's concerned about Legacy and uh everything thereof which is absolutely also achievement Legacy of achievement basically so these are the four temples and how do you know which Temple you are in well it's very simple uh so Soul Temple people all have uh estp ENFP istj and infj in their heads as they make up the four sides of the mind I am an entp and thus I belong to the heart Temple because entp ego my shadow is an intj my uh subconscious is an isfj and my super ego is an esfp and any one of those four types have all of the other three types associated with that within their Temple and that makes up the heart Temple and then also the U the Mind Temple are estjs infps istps and enfjs and then we have the body Temple which are entjs isfps inps and esfjs they make up the body Temple and if you just look at which which type is a person's ego that is basically their type uh and then you know for you know for their ego that's what we assign as you know they four letters basically but then you look at their shadow look at their unconscious look at their super ego and they all follow the same type of sequence all of those four types are representative of one single Temple which means anyone human being represents basically an aspect of the four temples but ultimately one of the four temples at any given time and that's where we determine that the thing is though is that where the god functions come into play is that the god functions ultimately are what each of the four temples worship or focus on or are putting all of their energy their life their investment into it is insanely important to them it's kind of like you know um when you actually look at the word worship and how it's actually defined it really is about you know what someone puts their attention towards the most or what they put put their attention towards and that's basically a real practical definition of what the concept of worship means and you know when you go into a temple that's usually because they're worshiping something or putting all of their Collective attention onto something and that's what each of the four temples are doing and each of us belong to one the four temples so I'm part of the heart Temple so my heart Temple is focusing specifically on two God functions and those God functions is introverted intuition and extroverted feeling right even though I'm not an introverted intuitive myself I have introverted intuition Nemesis but that's part of my unconscious it is not part of my ego so I'm technically not an introverted intuitive by that definition I am an an introverted sensor however just because I'm an introverted sensor does not mean that introverted intuition uh has any less significance on my life it's so funny because like even from my perspective I had mistyped myself for many many years I started learning Myers Briggs type indicator and yion analytical psychology when I was um like 21 basically is when I started and you know I've I've been involved D in the science and being a Pioneer in the science for about 15 years I got 15 years of experience that I've been doing this and I got into it in an effort to save uh my marriage but when I which you know that didn't really work out but at least I gained a skill along the way but the point is is that I would mistype as intj specifically because I really really identified with the questions on these mbti tests relating to personal freedom for example relating to introverted intuition I'd always like click yes or like oh yeah I'm all into that and whatnot but then I would end up being mistyped I would be mistyped as an intj when in reality I was actually an entp and the reason why is is because of the god function and its God functions and their influence on my life as a heart Temple a member of the heart Temple basically so the passion that intjs had I would claim that passion basically on the mbti test and the MBI mbti test would just say oh well you're an inj when that's not actually the case God functions basically end up often times mudding the waters when it comes to people typing themselves and it can make it really really difficult for people to type themselves which I mean it's understandable and it's also really really frustrating like very frustrating so that's why it's I mean that's just one of the reasons why it's so important to understand uh what the god functions are and how they actually influence and impact every single person as much as it does so for each of the 16 types as well as all of their different octogram subvariants and there is a lot of octogram uh subvariants uh that they have to basically pay attention to and be aware of it really makes uh the system of four sides Dynamics and ultimately Yi and analytical psychology an extremely complex system to understand it's so funny when I often like I'm talking to estps or esfp like oh man you're putting me in a box you're putting me in a box you're taking away my freedom my an inferior freedom and I'm just like no this system is so complex that it's not actually putting you in a box and then certain aspects of this uh science is variable right but it is variable within the confines of the system itself so you only have a certain amount of potenti uh potential to be um to be variable basically you know within you know which type you are and that's based on your octogram based on your nurture because human nurture will adjust you know the variant as to which you are in terms of your nature because nurture impacts and adjusts nature over time right so you may have the base nature being an estp or an or an esfp but your octogram also known as your nurturer will adjust it from there however before your nature is even determined well what is determining nature well we learned that recently especially in our recent Cutting Edge episode um or no it was a season 18 episode uh behind the payal c. life/ members and uh for the journeyman folks we learned about input process output feedback and the output is actually our nature that is our type but the feedback is actually our octogram the the nurture but what is the process well the process really is the four temples and ultimately the god function that's the process and the input is something called the Rosetta Stone or at least our interpretation of cognitive Origins if you want to learn more about that then you'll have to get the ego hacking by text uh master class at ego hacking by text. com uh and you have to already own the course in order to be able to get the master class it's a prerequisite but if you do already own uh the course you can go to csj of.
