Animal Magnetism… [+ favourites]

What is it that attracts us to things?..

I’m not simply talking about that something looks good and we tend to walk towards it… Though that definitely is part of it…
What I am talking about is the effect where you experience (and this is mostly mentally) the effect where you actually have part of yourself pulled towards someone or something…

And what about be ‘repulsed’?..
Is it all due to magnetism? Or is there ionic chemical attraction, or something like that?
How does this kind of thing relate to pleasure and pain?

Any ideas?

This is my take: It is youself that is identifying with an NB aspect of yourself on some level or another. I am not referring to earlier memories as such, although these would be an indication of another similar encounter with yourself.

But I am suggesting that when you feel this primal attraction to something, it is an aspect of yourself that you love and would like to become better aquainted with, or an aspect which you fear, and you want to understand why.
