Blind Se(7th Position)
Overview
Extraverted Sensing (Se) as your Blind function (Trickster) operates unconsciously, creating blind spots about engaging with the present moment and responding to immediate situations. It manifests as deeply unvaluing immediate action and present-moment engagement, dismissing spontaneity as reckless or dangerous, and seeing sensory engagement as shallow or meaningless. You may appear disconnected and unresponsive, completely dismissing immediate needs and present realities as irrelevant or distracting. You distrust decisive action and present-moment awareness, perceiving them as impulsive or thoughtless, and actively avoid situations that require quick response or immediate engagement. You may see present-moment focus as a sign of shallowness or lack of depth, dismissing those who act decisively as reckless or superficial. This function tests boundaries by introducing contradictory actions that trap you in paradoxes, making you believe you're thoughtful when you're actually disconnected. Integrating it helps you recognize these blind spots and develop genuine appreciation for present-moment awareness and decisive action.

You may sabotage your present-moment awareness through unconscious manipulation, believing you're grounded when you're actually disconnected, or introducing contradictory actions that create confusion.

Your trickster nature introduces unexpected twists that disrupt your present-moment engagement, making you believe you're staying present when you're actually avoiding it. You may use disruptive humor or mischief to test boundaries, but this often creates confusion rather than clarity.
