@scientiam , congratulations!! I'm still trying to soak in everything you describe, and I'm learning so much from you. What you say about the wolf spirit, and how you had to embrace it in yourself - releasing judgment of it - is correlating to a few other members' experiences which, when put together, seem to start offering a genuine psychonalaytical (and dare I say spiritual) pathway to growth and development. I'm so excited at the prospect of documenting growth and possibly developing real methodologies from these insights!
And yes, what's even crazier is that we can actually see the success in the vultology itself! That is to say, a change in the vultology is reflective of the inner work-- which itself is instrumental in informing practitioners of where a person is at in their journey; whether they've gotten somewhere new yet or may still have key material pending integration.
Indeed, your vultology has drastically shifted since your first videos. To present just a bit of what I see now:

Fe

2:35

^ Fe Warm Swelling + Je Demonstrative Hands
Although you demonstrated a few hand gestures before, they lacked any force or impact-- being restrained by a type of inner doubt (Ti clamping)-- which now appears to be released. Your gesticulations run free all the way out to the audience, having a forward vector which is what characterizes Je consciousness. We see this also here:
1:27

^ Fe Warm Swelling + Je Demonstrative Hands
..And in many other places in the video. This has also been happening steadily over the past video sessions you've made, and I've noticed the change culminating to the present. Your speech itself is also able to move forward at a faster pace.
But I also think you are right to say it's not only Fe that has been developed. We can see the vultological signals of Pe alongside Je, for example here:

Fe + Se

1:44

^ Pe Body Swaying + Pe Bubbling Momentum + Fe Warm Swelling ...ending in Fe On-Beat Emphasis
Th GIF above is a moment that could very well be seen in the SeTi l-l- or FeNi l-l- type. It's quite far from your first TiSe l-l- videos. Your body is now embedded with a newfound fluidity which, when combined with your existing Ni, make you P-heavy:

Ni+Se

3:08

3:14

The above two GIFs taken in isolation would suggest a Polarized P-lead Beta. In these GIFs you look a lot like our member @supahprotist - with a combination of both Ni hypnotic zone-outs and Pe casualness and grounded presence.
Lastly, and most obviously:

Ti

4:03

^ J Rigid Posture + Ji Meticulous Hands + Ti Delicate Pinching
1:15

^ Ji Momentum Halting + Ji Eyes Disengage Down
You nonetheless retain your Ti, its dominance in your psyche and how it contains all other signals in its structure. Your vultology reminds me a lot of Faeruss now, which finally presents an opportunity to contrast types even when as closely neighboring as TiSe llll and FeNi llll.

I got my development through delving deep into emotional/self-hate problems and therefore I have to keep that realm “free” of emotional blockages otherwise back I go to “compressing” my consciousness. I wonder what other people who have IIII development have to say about this and whether they experience the same thing

Hmm, I have given some thought to this, though not in the terms of compressed and uncompressed consciousness (still hoping for further clarification from The Aubs on those terms *fingers crossed/livestock sacrificed*) . And also yours (@scientiam) is quite an interesting case, and could well turn out to be an outlier in terms of a personal development pathway, as you "unblocked" both of your E functions at the same time. I started from a native E, then developed both introverted functions. And, as was the case for you as well, I also needed to process "emotional/self-hate problems" before I could access Fe in a controlled manner. I did notice that after the "high" of the breakthrough wore off, that my energy did return to a state that felt quite similar to my prior configuration, but that Fe could be accessed whenever there was a want/need for it, which would seem to be an echo of what Faeruss has said above.
As I'm sure you're well aware, personal growth and development doesn't stop when we have four little sticks next to our forum names, it continues each and every day; processing/integrating our life experiences only ends when we die. Perhaps because Fe was my last function to develop, I did notice (~a month ago) that when I started to allow myself to stagnate, when I wasn't holding myself accountable for who I wanted to be and the steps I needed to take each day to get there, that Fe was the first function to "fall by the wayside", and yet even then it was accessible. I think it is a natural thing to fear losing something (especially when it has only recently been gained), and perhaps because both of your extroverted functions came at the same time this is especially poignant for you. I think it is only natural that your configuration begins shifting back towards the double introversion, as that was the configuration your psyche has had more time/experience with.
I have no experiences I could use as evidence for having lost conscious use of a function already gained, but I can say that personal stagnation will likely make anyone feel as if something is being lost: what is lost in such a case is the potential we know we possess, but do not manifest. In terms of needing to keep emotional channels free to maintain conscious Fe, that may be a pattern that we continue to see, particularly with non-lead Fe, or Ti>Fe users, but it's hard to say at this point (my hunch would be that that is a dynamic that will continue cropping up). However, I do very much relate to the dynamic, and it certainly seems possible to me that, if I began cutting off my emotions as I have done before, I could return to a point where Fe would not be visible in my vultology. It is my choice whether or not I allow that to happen.
I suppose that what I would say is that it is complacency that has to be fought in order to continue development, in any form or domain. Complacency tells us, "Eh, that was enough." The drive to become more than what we currently are or have been tells us, "I can do more. I will do more." I think that as long as you stay mindful of the emotional problems that arise from the past and the present, and continue to be willing to work through them, that nothing of value can be taken from you. That which is earned in the Self is kept, but earning is a matter for today, not yesterday or tomorrow.

@scientiam

I can try to describe these terms from what I think it is as derived from my experience and then @auburn can confirm/deny it and give a more technical definition. By “uncompressed” I mean the free and unfettered flow of energy/information/action coming from the psyche. While “compressed” means the restricted/clamped energy/information/action coming from the psyche. That means that since we all “use” our four functions, it’s not use but rather the functions that are conscious that we give free and independent reign to and are therefore “uncompressed" and "unrestricted". Well, it could be the case too that conscious, unrestricted introverted functions restrict extroverted functions (as it did with me) so perhaps it is better to say that conscious introverted functions can restrict/compress extroverted functions and extroverted functions can also restrict/compress introverted functions. But when all four functions are in “balance” equal compression/uncompression (restriction/unrestriction) in one’s psyche then the free flow of the whole conscious psyche (which is what I feel) manifests. Idk, this is what I think for now.

Thank you for your elaborations here, they are indeed very useful and help me understand the truth of these terms 'compressed' and 'uncompressed' when used in reference to the cognitive functions 🙂

Well, you’re going to laugh at me, but I did think that after having my four functions conscious I was “set” for good, and then I went to see my family about family problems and then I realized that I am not done with emotional problems/personal growth. But yes I feel restricted (perhaps, as you say, because I’m a Ti lead and when I start feeling bad and the feelings are painful, I feel “blocked” or restricted until I figure out what’s wrong and I feel the need to “fix” it now or take the steps to fix it (I have also learned to just be comfortable with feeling the pain btw, but that is harder)). I also felt bad when I checked your profile and saw that you had flat affect (I didn’t know that you did/or that perhaps you recently got it). When I see that people have flat affect I start feeling what I did before (the emptiness and the suffering) and I get crushed that they might be feeling the same.

No laughter here my friend, well, maybe now since we're on the same page XD; and let me explain: I think my period of stagnation started when I started to believe that perhaps because I had been through and processed so much, that things were basically "stable", but that is simply not the case. Stability is created from the work we do every day. And dealing with other people is always difficult, because we must let go of our delusions that we can or should control others' behavior, and must simply decide for ourselves what is our best path forward, having strength to carry on despite criticism or ridicule.
Edit: Realized that I neglected to mention the flat affect here. Please don't feel bad on my account 🙂 As David Goggins has said, "Scars remind you that your past is real." I will not forget my past, but I also will not let it define me. I see the signals of Flat Affect in myself as reminders of what I have been through, not as disfigurations, but as transfigurations. One thing that is very useful about working in acute crisis stabilization is that you learn how to orient yourself in an environment in which most of those around you are suffering and out of control. You learn that you can be in control, even in chaos, that your own traumas do not have to impede your decisions, or your ability to help others. And, as always, any and all traumatic events must be processed after the fact to cleanse the mind of the negative thoughts and feelings that swim about in their wake. I think most of us are stronger than we know in this regard, but we self-defeat before the battle has begun, and perseverate on all the ways the war is being lost. Voluntarily entering into our sufferings is the key; there is a world of difference between lowering yourself into a scalding hot bath because you want to soothe your muscles, and being thrown into scalding hot water against your will. As a final note, I would say that family issues are often some of the deepest and most difficult things to unravel, as we cannot choose our family, but we must navigate a path through our families, or choose the path of separation if we deem our other options untenable.

Ah yes, I agree with all of this rondo. Thank you. I would also say, however, that chastising yourself for not being more and doing more is a bad thing. Live your life, you are human and you are allowed to make mistakes/fall from your ideals/ and fuck up things sometimes, even if you’re 80 yrs old. It’s ok, I think, as long as you learn and your intentions are good.

Yes. As cheesy at it sounds (yet as good as it feels), I have been coming up with mantras for myself to write down and repeat. My most recent is: Failures are admonitions, successes are invitations: investigate your actions' origins. Failures are not reasons to self-flagellate, they are opportunities to accept new truths.

OMG, congratulations, @scientiam !
I think making a group of support for people who are on the journey of integrating their functions is a wonderful idea and very useful !
There can be so much struggle on the way and if you don't understand what is happening, you can easily become discouraged or scared.
I am very curious about the little wolf. What did it look like? Where did you find it? Does it represent your Se or Se and Fe together ? What aspects about it did you judge and how did you realize you shouldn't have judged them?
If you make this group, please let me know ! I am indeed not sure if I want to develop my Te and Ni or if it is the right time for it and I would like to explore this possibility more.

Oh, yes, I did, but it was so long ago, I forgot about it. 🙂 Now I remembered I said something about this in an older thread.

I think it’s time that perhaps we finally had that talk we had planned some time ago and you can ask me any questions you would like.

To be completely honest, when I saw how long the videos are, I started feeling worried about it. English is not my first language and I make more mistakes when I am speaking than when I am writing. Sometimes it's also hard for me to find the right words or I pronounce them in weird ways.
I also don't have very good communication skills in general. 🙁 They have gotten better in time but they are still not good enough in my opinion.
I can make acceptable short videos. But I am afraid I would make many mistakes if we talked for 50 minutes or so. We could maybe do a shorter one or indeed one in which I ask more questions and you talk more. 🙂
