We could say that introverted sensation transmits an image which does not so much reproduce the object as spread over it the patina of age-old subjective experience and the shimmer of events still unborn. \u2013 C.G. Jung (CW 6, par 649)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this article, and the one to follow next month, we examine the type that has been more difficult to grasp than any of the other types.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Normal Introverted Sensation (IS)<\/strong>
\nIntroverted sensationAs an orientation to conscious experience, introverted sensation bridges the \u201cgreat divide\u201d between the outer and inner objects: the world at large and the collective unconscious. The bridge originates in the world, where the sensation attitude is oriented to sensuous perception. All of the sights, sounds, tastes, and textures discerned in the world are of potential interest. Like extraverted sensation, introverted sensation has the initial capacity to perceive the world accurately and in detail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet that accurate, detailed perception is radically transformed as the mighty breeze of the introverted attitude draws those accurate perceptions inward, across the bridge, to the preternatural archetypal world within. The bridge is much like the closet door imagined by C. S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia. On one side of the closet door, everything is normally perceived and subject to the known laws of nature. But through that door, on the other side in Narnia, the rules of the world no longer apply.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So it is for introverted sensation. The perceptions of the world pass over a figurative bridge and emerge in the inner life, where the normal experiences of time, cause and effect no longer apply. In this inner world, perceptions take on an uncanny character, for they are imbued with a \u201cpatina of age-old subjective experience and the shimmer of events still unborn.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIntroverted sensation apprehends the background of the physical world rather than its surface. The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, of the primordial images which, in their totality, constitute a psychic mirror world . . . Such a consciousness would see the becoming and passing away of things simultaneously with their momentary existence in the present, and not only that, it would also see what was before their becoming and will be after their passing hence.\u201d (CW 6, par. 649)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introverted Sensation in the Shadow<\/strong>
\nWhen we talk about a type \u201cin the shadow\u201d we are speaking of the type in the \u201cinferior,\u201d less developed position\u2013unconscious, primitive, or archaic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the shadow, introverted sensation is less accessible and its transcendent perceptions are less noticed. A person may be less sensitive to the deeply evocative beauty of a sunset; less moved by the flowing melodies in a magnificent concert; less enchanted by a stroll through a rich, dark forest; less attuned to the majestic context for \u201cordinary\u201d day-to-day events.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life will feel more prosaic and practical. The magical journey through the transformative passage of introverted sensation may remain impeded until later, in the second half of life, when introverted sensation, so long submerged and less useful, begins to find its way to the surface, bringing renewed meaning and vitality to life.<\/p>\n
