Brain surgery. Or stem cells and some growth factor control stuff so ur brain starts making totally new and random synaptic connections.
Damaging ur prefrontal cortex couldn't hurt either.

Hammers work, but nothing beats having being dropped on the head as a baby. That's what they mean when they say u can get N from ur parents (or babysitter for that matter)

Imagine this: One day a guy comes to you and asks you.

Why would you like to be blind and deaf ?


What would you tell him?

A part of Ni is focused on imagery and metaphors. Perhaps you might want to pick up a book on say mythology and try to work out what different things symbolize within the story and whether there can be more than one interpretation for each.

I saw a TED video yesterday... a lady was discussing about the Trickster Coyote in Native American folklore. This was the book she refered to...

I'd like to experience a peaceful world of texture and taste and smell...

i think, you develop every further function, by inviting it into your live.

they are already there, subconsciously, and will develop and differentiate on their own, but obsessive applying of favorite functions on every aspect of understanding and decision making will prevent that from happening.

for instance my dominant judging Fe needs to facilitate the emergence of both Te and Fi (argh!), and my dominant perception Ni needs to facilitate the emergence of Si and Ne and maybe Se.

facilitate emergence = make some room. allow them, to be "true" and relevant.

a function is only the management of intelligence, not intelligence itself.
ie F is not emotion, it's whats emphasizes or suppresses emotion(al aspects).
