Lightbearer's LibraryWhen to forgive and let goHello dear Soul,In today’s journal entry I talk about when forgiveness means letting go of a relationship.There are times when others hurt us, but we know that no matter what we say, they won't understand why we’re hurt by their actions. I’ve seen that a lot of hurt can come from being very different from others, and having very different values from others. This can lead to being unintentionally hurt, and continuing to be around them only causes us to be in pain. Therefore we should walk away before we get st...

Lightbearer's LibraryNot intuitive? Then you need this…Hello dear Soul,In today’s journal entry I talk about why people who don’t use the cognitive function of intuition as their main perception function (as opposed to sensing) should learn about the personality type framework.Because our society consists of a majority of sensors (70%), it means that that function is most understood. This can leave intuitives (30% of the population) feeling misunderstood and out of sync with the world. So when sensing types learn about how intuitive types perceive the world, it can help them to better understand and love their intuitive friends and...

Lightbearer's LibraryHow to heal emotional hurtDear Soul,In today’s journal entry I talk about my own journey of healing from some recent family hurt and how using personality type (MBTI) as a framework for healing has been super helpful.Firstly, personality type helps us to recognize that we potentially look at the world very differently from those who have hurt us. That they may not have intentionally hurt us, it’s just that they have a different way of perceiving and judging the world. When we know their personality type it can help us to understand them, and love is u...
