as for functions: i say, you invite functions into your live by making room for them. this requires you to understand, how you use on-top-functions to prevent their opposites. you dont want to suppress on-top-functions but differentiate their content. their activity, their application, you stop them from acting absolutist, so that they become permeable to other functions. on-bottom-functions are not sympathetic to you. you fear them. you need to change the attitude, by differentiating your world view. they have their applications. those parts of the world, where they are supposed to be applied are real.
as for actual thinking (ie rationality, being effective, making sense): its mostly a matter of development, which is not very type related. we can talk about how we can access/activate our developed thinking, but we cant grow it deliberately. it's not a given sleeping potential in all cases or by all definitions.
as for your example about Se: that is just a random pattern match in your mind. you could call it Si. its true for everyone, that slapping oneself in the face, can wake one up. borderliners know best. (not me!)
