I heard it clearly in my head. I dream of it (an experienced male scholar), but it's actually pretty 'seeable' in waking life too! When its "on" there's a flow experience in articulation. Coherent thought/speech/writing that bypasses the regular conscious middle-man. In this case, the middle-man just watches/listens and writes. Kinda like its being dictated to. There's no sense that "I" am doing the thinking/only receiving it complete, from an inner source.
That sounds like a very apt description of Te ^^ (did'jya mean Je or Pi?...)
It's fascinating that you feel like you're kind of a vessel for the articulation that's flowing through you. Do you think this is perhaps because your Te is subconscious, and so not associated with your conscious ego?

Yeah, it's DEFINITELY not conscious. It's "not me", it's a clear voice in my head, rapidly streaming very well thought-out speech. I'm not sure what gets it to come "on", though. Sometimes things just align and it does.
And I meant both! Pi too (but I'll describe it in the Pi subforum when I have a chance). Je is two modes in me (that I can now 'see'):
1) That articulator, he (for some reason it is a he, not a she, lol, maybe because this is the form it takes in my dreams) is very direct, no-nonsense, coherent. When he comes on he is the best! Makes my writing so much better! I feel very different when he's talking. I am deeply calm and in a 'listening mode except I'm listening to someone inside not outside. Like I said, it's kinda like dictation.
2) At some point in my creative process it turns into some kind of building project, the sense of producing something, something that's my own, my own work, and it fills me with the greatest sense of joy. Utterly delicious.
-I think it's Je because there's that world-shaping element in it, except it's within a creative process. I guess it serves Ne + Fi interests in that mode and that's why it's so utterly intoxicating in the ecstasy it produces in me. It's completing something. Or perhaps the creative process engages all my four EQs and that's what sends me to the clouds lol, their combined effort or cooperation? Idk. Either way, I imagine it's doing something in me that a drug might do for someone: definitely a 'high' going on here.
-I say so because when I attempt to do straight up dry Te tasks, rather than wait for it to wake up and come on in and join the Ji/Pe process on it's own, it actually saps my psychic energy. I literally feel dry, in a physical sense. The same spot that feels intoxicated with joy^ feels extremely dry and parched and everything is super difficult. Even reading a simple non-complex paragraph, when done in that straight linear, goal-directed Je manner can be very very difficult and sterile.
