Functions/Principles/Senses

Aug 28, 1995 03:22 AM
by K. Paul Johnson


Upon further contemplation of the Jungian personality model, I
came up with these equivalences:

Jungian Function Theosophical Principle Physical Sense

Intuition Buddhi Hearing
Thinking Manas Sight
Feeling Kama Taste/Smell
Sensation Physical, Astral bodies Touch

Although "feeling" might seem to equate to touch, the salient
element in its definition is judgment-- good/bad,
pleasant/unpleasant, etc. Taste and smell are more judgmental
than touch, it would seem, so that's the analogy I suggest.
