The articulator is, in many ways, our cognitive engine; it is our source of conviction and resolve. It is where a type of passion lies that stems beyond the private and dares to change the present reality; to try to achieve and to impact. Whether it's social impact through culture forming or logistical impact through innovation/technology/finance. Success is a big theme that runs across Je's manifestation, and it takes several forms.
Phenomenology
Personal Challenge
An element of Je that has scarcely been discussed is its ability to challenge oneself. Je puts in front of the person the dilemma of the discrepancy between one's perceived better organization (of life, of themselves, of others) and the state of affairs in the world. And while Ji has the luxury of having unanimous control over what their inner landscape looks like -- and can execute judgment on itself with little friction -- Je has its ultimate satisfaction in bringing the world into its own alignment.
In this middle-place, between the present state of affairs and the vision, there is personal challenge. Je initiates a journey of trials and tests one's level of skill in a given area, tests one's ideas for feasibility, and tests one's resolve/conviction in those ideas in a similar way to Ji's battle of integrity.
Leadership
Sometimes intentionally and sometimes incidentally, Je may stumble into positions of authority due to its own native operation. Given an assorted group of individuals, if there is a strong Je among them who naturally manifests confidence in their will/trajectory, this confidence can become magnetic. And while Je alone doesn't give a person all the various dimensions and insights needed to be an effective leader, it is a critical element which often provides a point of convergence wherein others contribute their talents and capabilities.
Je will also realize that certain aims necessitate this collaboration, and so a large aspect of Je's manifestation deals with coordination of people. While Fe is certainly more tied to the coordination of people, Te also does this by nurturing advantageous business partnerships, securing resources and avenues of mutual benefit. We only need to go as far as the political world to see how Te also plays strongly into the role of leadership.
Power
This quality is present in the two above, but I feel it deserves separate mention. The word power is often given a negative connotation, but when viewed dispassionately it can be described simply as the ability to act and cause change or influence - whether to events, objects or people. Power is thus an adequate description of the full manifestation of Je, and like all power it can be directed in beneficial or detrimental ways. As Je has the audacity to bend the objective to their subjectivity, it gains a certain level of control over it.
Je therefore comes with a certain level of responsibility to wisely channel this energy. It's not uncommon to find Je types who have become elated by this quality and abuse its ability to give them a greater presence over those around them. The intelligent calibration of Je with Ji will lend the user an etho-logical core that can be sensitive to humanitarian concerns while attending to practical concerns as well.
How do you feel about Je in general?
* How do you experience your own Je process?
* What are your own Je's aims?
* How effective do you feel in your own Je's aims?
