Dabrowski, Shamanism, DNA,and Hyperdimensions - Question

[Griller]

Quoted from starting post:

Dabrowski presented five forms of OE: psychomotor, sensual, imaginational, intellectual and emotional. These overexcitabilities, especially the latter three, often cause a person to experience daily life more intensely and to feel the extremes of the joys and sorrows of life profoundly.

Just a sidequestion, but what would this psychomotor be, what kind of a sense it is? What does it sense, how do you sense with it...? Those others are familiar to me from astrology or Jung's four base elements, except that he called the imagination intuition instead, which is individual subjective perception according to Ken Wilber's classification. Psycho + motor = a hells angels member? Na, or the movement of our psyche or the movement of it's other inner senses (emotion, logic, imagination, sensation) ?

Heightened energy levels manifested in the need to constantly move, restlessness, rapid talk and difficulty in sustaining attention for prolongued periods of time. According to Dabrowski psychomotor OE alone is not enough, the three crucial for the type of advanced personality development are imaginational, intellectual and emotional OE.

So a more lucid person in that perspective, you could say. Or ADHD if you ask big pharma. I see, thanks. I think that everyone has certain potential to attune oneselves to these levels to some extent, at least from astrologer's perspective it's possible. Just not as easy. Sensational element is the one that grounds the person to physical world, to five senses, the least spiritual element of these perhaps. You know, I think Jung and astrologers put psychomotor and imagination both under intuition. Seems like fire sign qualities, sagittarius, with sidetracked and connected logic + emotion. I bet they could realise more potential from themselves by connecting those parts of their psyche in a good way, or strengthening those parts and learning to have those parts live together, two opposites and a sidetrack between them. Plus the psychomotor. My thinking might be off, but I feel this way about this.

I don't have background on astrology so I can't comment on your comparisons but OE's are inborn qualities, increased sensitivity and intensity of the quality of experience. A car with more fuel if you want, but then a car with a lot of fuel has no value without a good driver.

Dąbrowski called it the third factor, that is the individual's drive toward autonomy, the factor of conscious choice and growth.
