Oracle of the Tao -- "Influence"
Yes yet another Oracle to Guide my Life or you Life With.
Mutal attraction is stimulating. it's magnetic, deeply eneriching or, on the other hand, simply acting-out of compulsivness and the need for self-gratification. The critical difference lies in whether or not there is genuine mutual respect.
Keeping things in perspective when the emotional climate is heating up is only possible when some balance is maintained through taking periodic breaks that allows both parties to step back from the intensity. this capacity to keep a distance enables trust to develop, and creates space for the natural rhythms between people to evolve. In early stages of a strong mutual attraction, it is more challenging to pull back and cool down, especially when everything inside you is driven by passion. But in any event the passage of time will surely turn down that heat, and being able to consider the relationship in the light of less odvious passions enables you to anticipate this natural process. In this way even at the outset, a passionate relationship is given a far better chance to mature and ripen rather than burn out from intensity and go stale and flat.
the power of attraction has been exploited in the media and nauseam, and we are constantly assalted by the use of sensual and sexual imagery to sell everything from candy bars to cars, fashionable attitudes, ideologies. During the course of any given day we're subjected to hindreds of such images, each carrying messages both subliminal and overt. It's difficult to tell if we're becoming desensitized to the subtleties of natural attraction. there is a danger once our desire for meaningful relationships becomes distorted by a preference for flawless fantasies over human reality.
In the presence of genuine attraction, everything seems to 'click' without effort and there's a willingness to work with all kinds of drawbacks that in less attractive circumstances might be reasons not to go any further. Experiencing natural magnetism is a living lesson of the universal laws of yin and yang. Spontanteous, one-on-one exchanges between complementary and unique individuals is the expression, on human terms, of that interchanging between the 'active' yang principle and the 'receptive' yin principle. This free-flowing dabce of energy creates a naturla high where the outlook seems rosier, the impossible is possible, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It is natural with a captial N, it's the birds and the bees, and it's intrinsically juicy.
Natural magnetism is not defined by appearances is not defined by appearances; it need not be between a man and a woman, but can be shared between any two people. It often defies the rational and practical. Be it a friendship, partnership or marriage, both members should be willing to openly share and trust in the sancity of the bond, lest it simply collapse under the weight of disillusionment. to continue, there musst be plenty of mutual support and nonpossessiveness and respect. A balanced relationship is not a dependency but an interdepence. It should feel more like an ongoing 'happening' than something static and 'safe.'
