[INFJ] infjs how contemplative are you?

I am likely more reflective than contemplative. I am seeking to formalize meditation by participating in an on-line zen community. I have been attracted to various types of religious practices over the years, but have not found one that absolutely fits with me. Perphaps this is the one. I think there are many benefits to regular meditation practice.

It varies for me. Generally running about 50/50 right now. I often do about 75/25 with the majority of my time spent in a contemplative state of mind. Occasionally I'll do 75/25 with the majority of time spent in extroverted situations, but WOW, I need some serious alone time after that.

This is a question that comes up over and over again on this forum. So many INFJ's deal with this. When I was younger being so contemplative made me feel like I didn't fit in. As I got older I became more and more comfortable in my own skin. Now I just spend all the time I need contemplating whatever I want.

All right boys, let me take a shot at answering. *cracks knuckles*

The answer you're looking for is... 42. It is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. 42.

This is why I want to be ISTP.
 
They are. Usually far too much so, and I often need to ask "So?" "Decided yet?" "How about now?" ten times (during all those 3 minutes of INFJ-introspection) before getting a yes/no/maybetomorrow.
 
Yes....i think we've made our points. A lot time is spent in my mid. To be more definitive, I would say I think about six times what I say. So that's a lot of time. Much of the day. And much of that solitude I enjoy so much.
 
I contemplate life and death a lot. It seems like an every day occurrence. I see life and death in things, and see what remains after death in things. The temporal and the eternal get their share of time in my mind, too. I like looking at where I came from and where I failed miserably with bad choices, but wonder how different choices would have molded me differently. Out of nowhere, I contemplate whether they were really bad choices or not. Funny how I feel like a different person than what I am: almost like a lot is missing. Yet, there is a lot there.

Decisions? I usually base those on how others are acting. Then I get serious. Anyone make me laugh?
 
hey could you gusy give me a percentage as to how much time you spend inside your mind?
 
Far more contemplative than action oriented. Having a rich inner life is fun.
