I came across this quote the other day: –
“Our trouble is that we have ignored and thus feel insecure in the enormous spectrum of love which lies between rather formal friendship and genital sexuality, and thus are always afraid that once we overstep the bounds of formal friendship we must slide inevitably to the extreme of sexual promiscuity.” – Alan Watts
I was inspired to respond:
Ultimately, I believe we have difficulty feeling ‘attraction’ towards another person, especially when that other person is seen as ‘off limits’. Its the subsequent denial or repression of these feelings, or the guilt we attach to the way we feel that creates obsessions and “sexual promiscuity”. We’re basically misunderstanding or misinterpreting the nature of our initial ‘attraction’.
When we accept that it’s a perfectly natural state of being, to feel attracted to other human beings, the energy is allowed to flow and we can comfortably and confidently frequent any space within the spectrum.
What is the purpose of attraction then?
When we come from the perspective; that every encounter and connection is an information exchange, we can begin to expand our field of vision and consequently change our beliefs about what’s possible.
We are constantly evolving and sharing information with one another. We are dynamic and enthusiastic in our pursuit of this. Information comes in the best and most perfect forms, tailored if you like, to our specific narrative. When we are the embodiment of dynamism and enthusiasm we are not able to attach or resist the forms that are presented to us. We will feel the energetic tingle, sparkle, bolt of lightening, our hearts singing! and allow ourselves then,
the peace and quiet to fully appreciate what is happening.
We are then ready to allow the information to be exchanged in a perfect state of bliss. And when this is complete, the form will simply disappear. Some forms will stay for years, some only days and minutes. Time frames are a necessary part of the narrative, however, these are becoming stretched and more abstract as we shift into the 4th dimension!
As you know, it is our natural state of being, to share lovingly with one another, to be inclusive and to feel appreciation for one another’s presence. So lets embrace those connections, lets always ask ourselves (Higher Self, Heart, Source Consciousness) “What information is being exchanged here?”
Acknowledge: “Wow, I feel really great about this person, they do have beautiful eyes, voice etc and I feel totally appreciative of that!”
Also useful to ask “What am I specifically attracted to in this person? Do they fill me with joy? Am I attracted to their confidence or is it their integrity, creativity?” and so on. Please then consider, that these are traits within your own self, that you need to ignite in order to quantum leap!
Sit in meditation and consider the new information for a moment. Feel the appreciation you have for this new information and its method of delivery.
Should you have any questions about how to integrate new information, please leave a comment or message me. Your contact may well be a catalyst for me.
Happy leaping friends!!
