But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Faith (6) vs. Truth (8)

as I beat the meat of this 6 vs. 8 topic that has been tormenting not just me, but the entire typology community for decades, I can get better at summarizing the difference between 6's core concerns and 8's core concerns.

-----

Faith (6) is a mental concept.

Faith is about daring to believe in what your conscious brain believes. Faith is about finding a mental perception of reality to believe in. Faith, in its attempt to be "objective", is detached from the body's emotional reactions, which are "subjective"... hence Faith is detached from emotion altogether. And yet having no Faith leads to mental instability and a swarth of negative emotions... how funny. 6s freak out when they see subjective thinking being done out loud, in my experience, because it threatens their mental perception of reality that they have placed Faith in. they don't have this instinct in them that can just say "um, you're wrong. Bye." well, they do have it but they need to develop it through integration to 9.

When your mental world is in chaos, you must lean on the physical Faith you have in your body to help you to survive. 6s have no such faith in their essence, which is felt through all three centres, not just the brain and the heart. 6s are missing the ability to perceive essence and conviction in their bodies, so they lean entirely on brain-based worldviews (this is an alien concept to Gut triads. yikes). 6s don't realize that only a healthy degree of attachment to their body's instincts can save them from all their Doubt. The most robust and solid mental perception ever means nothing without the raw instinctual belief that "this is true! because I fucking said so!" backing it up. 6s place all of their Faith in their transcendental brains to compensate for their lack of Faith in their bodies and instincts. This is why 6 integrates into the center of the body triad (6 -> 9). but this isn't to say 6s should give up on their mental search for Faith, their search for an objectively true worldview which tells us how to protect humanity from losing its essence. I'm just saying that for this search to be any good, 6s need to balance it out with some raw conviction in their bodies and in themselves.

-----

Truth (8) is a physical concept.

It is ALL ABOUT the body's emotional reactions. Truth throws out any "truth" that doesn't fit with my sense of insight and my feelings. 6s say "facts don't care about your feelings", 8s say "my feelings are facts because I Know". Truth is about the right to follow your instincts unbridled, because whatever your instincts tell you is true, is definitely true. There is no need to trust anything other than your animal instincts and the insight they are driven by, since there is no such thing as Truth in the external world.

8s throw out systems and institutions invented by 6s in which attempt to understand the world mentally. 8s believe that the mental realm can never provide insight; insight can only be found from following my body's instincts. My instincts are the Truth. Any mental conception of Truth you have to offer me from outside of me and my body is just an elaborate power game. I will be the final judge of what is true or untrue, using the mystical insight of my instincts. All societal ideas of "Truth" are just shat out of somebody's ass, the way I shit the Truth out of my ass, so there is no reason to seek an agreed-upon truth the way that 6s do, this will only lead to more power games and more deception and more loss of Truth in the world. It is better if we all just completely isolate ourselves and live in our own world as free (wo)men with our own resources and weapons to defend ourselves. Everyone is better off if we are isolated and only living for ourselves in a dog-eat-dog world, because it is impossible to come to a consensus regarding Truth, something that doesn't even exist.

Like how Faith is felt through all three triads, so is Truth. 8s are stupid and think it is only felt through their own bodies and their own minds. They must feel Truth in their hearts too. When they do this they realize that the heart Truth (2) is calling them to consider other people's perspectives and integrate other people's truths into their lives (esp. God's will), instead of blindly follow themselves.

1 corinthians 13:4-8

god is love

GUYS my girlfriend MADE this for me for christmas!! with her own two hands!! she even wired the chevrons to light up and i’m so impressed and happy and just wanted to share it with the world

1 Corinthians 2:9

for me, it keeps coming back the now deleted scene in anti-hero where taylor first openly used art about something that directly impacted her mental health. and i get why it would be triggering and uncomfortable to see a thin woman portray herself as "fat" on a scale. i understand the "problematic" edge to it. and yet... i still hate y'all for thinkpiecing her into deleting the scene. it was art about something that directly impacted HER mental health and folks felt entitled to tell her how she could make art about something that impacts HER. that HER MENTAL HEALTH was distressing them, could she pretty please censor it so it would stop triggering them.

like fuck y'all. i hope she never feels the need to censor herself again to cater to you fuck ass bitches. some of you DO need to be told you're being overbearing and entitled, sorry! you don't get to censor art just because you don't like who's making it or feel the person who made it isn't allowed to use art the way they used it.

As a christian, you need to understand that your FAITH alone is enough to change the lives of the people around you. DONT stop praying for your loved ones that haven’t encountered God yet.

my faith is weak, i need his strength

6s want to find a truth to have Faith in, 8s believe there already is a Truth and that Truth is found in my body and what I say is true in my feels, so you stupid collegegoers are all wasting your time... wtf

Beloved.

Jude 20.

“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,”

“Beloved.” Divinely-loved ones.

Out from who we are and how God sees us, we do two things...building up our faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

This week, listen to the Holy Spirit as you pray. Catch His words through your words. His thoughts through your mind.

Pastor Robin.
