Attraction... What is it and why are people treating it so inefficiently? First of all, attraction is actually not about being efficient per se, but attraction is treated in a way that can only be described as convoluted and complex, but complex for stupid reasons. As a phenomena attraction is really something that happens to you whether or not you like it, and like any other involuntary thing in life attraction has to be treated as a sign of something, and really not only as a sign of something but as a kind of pain, for at the end of the day the only thing that would rightly describe attraction is pain. Now, if you have skillful means you would understand how to treat this particular form of pain, read "Celibacy", and you would effectively find a way to remove this pain, and this is really what is meant with treating attraction in an efficient way. Now, you may ask why it is that you should remove attraction? Well, that is a good question but really what I am suggesting is not to "get rid off" or "erase" attraction, but rather that you should find a way to deal with the pain, because after all pain is something quite inevitable and pain will come to us, all of us at one point or another.

    The issue that I am really attempting to address here has not so much to do with pain in general, read "The Metaphysics of Adversity", although such a perspective has to be include here, because what I am attempting to address is the confusion around attraction that seem to affect most modern people. Of course, a lot of this confusions stems from individualism, read "Preferences" and "Favorites", and the need to constantly affect the narrow and narrower home, and this ties into acceptance and tolerance as well because people are taught to accept and embrace their every whim and every single distraction that happen to come upon them in life. Really, attraction to other people is actually something that is entirely negative and adverse and when it happens to you pain starts to happen in the form of anxiety, heart palpitations, and other very adverse things, but modern people have been taught to understand attraction, in particular to other people, as something good, but I think that there is a certain confusion going on here, because being overwhelmed by beauty is not the same thing as being "attracted": attraction to other people has something to do with the sensual; whereas feeling harmony around beautiful things is something quite different and actually metaphysical, and the difference between these modalities could actually be put into a perspective of qualification, for seeking beauty, true beauty, is qualified whereas seeking attraction, or at any rate accepting attraction as "good", is something quite different and positively evil; if attraction represents something quite substantial and crude, it would be right to assume that seeking beauty should represent something essential, which also renders attraction inferior. Of course, it is not enough to assume that seeking beauty is qualified in and of itself, for it requires a truly qualified mind in order to even understand the cultivation involved in seeking beauty in the first place, a prerequisite if you actually want to ever come upon true beauty. I will state this though: while beauty is being actively worked against in modern times, there is still beauty all around and even a very unqualified person should be able to cultivate some sense of beauty, true beauty, read "Divine Inspiration". I would also submit that seeking beauty has much to do with seeking God, whereas seeking attraction, or again accepting attraction, has to do with seeking the material and the crude, the immediate and the corporeal, and this is why you will see very wealthy men "attracting" very crude women, crude in this context applies because these women are not truly beautiful, even though they tend to cultivate a very shallow and sensual exterior, which is actually very similar in principle to the devilish workings of ideological indoctrination and politics in general.

    Essentially, attraction is about manipulation and this is also what politics is about as well, as stated above they are derived from the same principle, and a man that allows himself to become "attracted" to a woman is really not only a foolish man, but truly a man that is wide open to manipulations of all kinds, and this is something that is well known. Of course, most people assume and really commit to the idea that manipulation in general is a form of abuse, but really all things considered people are actually very accepting of manipulation, and often people will even go as far as to acknowledge that they are being actively manipulated and they will even accept this manipulation as a good or necessary thing. Well, all I can ask then is this: if you have to be abused (manipulated) by a woman in order for you to even think of creating a family with her, perhaps you are wrong about her and your own supposed intentions, and really perhaps you are wrong about everything, read "Hierarchy"? See, it is all too easy to ask yourself these questions without understanding why this is happening to you, because the fact is that you are not in control of your own life, read "Parasitism", and as long as you allow these so-called "hormones" to dictate your next move, your next action, you may as well be lost to history and really history will be lost to you as well. Of course, I should add that people can be beautiful without being attractive and in that sense beautiful women in particular could best be understood and appreciated as a kind of ornament similar to flowers, maybe orchids, and as long as this truly intellectual distance between the sensual and the truly beautiful exits, read "The Problem of Borders", you may move around in the world in a "sophisticated" manner, and if you happen to come upon attraction you must allow the pain to wash over you without allowing it to get control over your body and your senses, because, as I alluded to earlier, pain does carry meaning and if it can be survived you can truly, but for a moment, ascend to a higher plane, read "Dreaming", and become one with the source. Also, it is actually the case that surviving pain makes you far more resilient than the vast majority of men, read "Democracy", which means that you have more authority than most people.

    In the end, attraction can be understood as a disease, as something that happens to you, and this gives you two choices, generally: either you embrace and accept attraction; or you reject attraction and survive the pain, in order to see another day more clearly.
