An Attractive Thought Experiment

In this thought experiment
Adults, at least,
have developed three types of attraction
and attractiveness,
chemistry,
positive and negative
and in-between synergy:

Heart attraction,
romantically associated
with touch and feeling,

Mind attraction,
more cognitively associated
with sight and sound
and, perhaps, LeftBrain dissonance
and more competitive
predative instincts
of win v lose zero-sum
calculation

And root sexual attraction,
primordially associated with taste
and smell,
swallowing
and letting go
biochemistry,
neurologically informed
and exforming passions,
rhythms,
communion and disunion patterns,
co-passion v dis-passion communication structures,
win+win bilaterally resilient
and lose v lose resistant
pleasure v displeasure
ease v disease

These three conjoined
into dipolar associative co-relationships
anthropological and ecological,
spiritual and natural
sacred and organic
metaphysical and physical
passion and pleasure

Sage and Muse
crown and root bicameral intelligence
combined within each PeaceWarrior
heart
touching Other sentience
and feeling Self consciousness.
