Have you ever felt strongly drawn (like a magnet) towards another individual?

Question

I'd like to point out these two quotes from Jane Roberts/Seth's books::

"You are a sender and a receiver. Because ideas have an electromagnetic reality, beliefs, because of their -intensity-, radiate strongly. Due to the organizing structure of your own psychological nature, similar beliefs congregate, and you will readily accept those with which you already agree." -Seth

"Information does not exist by itself. Connected with it is the consciousness of all those who understand it, perceive it, or originate it. So there are not records in terms of objective, forever-available banks of information into which you tune. Instead, the consciousness that held, or holds, or will hold the information attracts it like a magnet... The information itself wants to move toward consciousness. It is not dead or inert. It is something you grab for, it is also something that wants to be grabbed, and so it gravitates to those who seek it." -Seth

With these quotes in mind, have there ever been individuals who have a stronger pull, on you personally, than others? If so, what do you believe made this pull so strong? Was it their inherent loving nature? Was it their internal beliefs and ideas? Or, was it something more; something indescribable?

Thoughts...?

<<<<<<<<<<< magnetically cosmic love >>>>>>>>>>>

Answer 1

I knew my husband, in a group setting, for several years. We were only friends. I admired his heart and mind, but never in a million years did I think we would be a 'couple'. I really wasn't attracted to him in 'that' way.

Then, one evening, he came by alone and *zing* our friendship became a love affair! Oh, wow! For the first time in my life, I understood why every love song was written, what every poem to a lover meant, I understood love and it is dynamite! I understood how two can become one. These had been just words to me, but now....Wow.

To this day (we have been married ten years) when I touch his hand, a thrill goes through me!

This 'unseen' magic is a gift...from where, I don't know.

We had both been on a spiritual path for years, we both love to dance, love music, love nature and have a thousand books! :) Our kitty cats are our babies...love them, too!

Also, on a subtle level, we 'come from the same place'...I understand him, admire his mind. There are so many subtleties to all of this. It is a sort of magic.

Edit: firefly, I think it's neat that you have a chameleon for a husband! ;) Love those kitties!

Answer 2

Many times I have been very drawn to people I don't even know. But, then I am very empathic to begin with. Some people on the other hand I have been very repulsed by upon meeting. The content of a persons spirit screams at me.
It's always wild when I meet a person for the first time. There is either a magnetic draw or a magnetic pushing away. Never in between.

Answer 3

Such a difficult question for me to answer. I seem to have problems with intimacy and some long standing feelings of disgust with myself.

I often find myself drawn to people who are unavailable. Older women, married women, women who live overseas.
I was 28 before I asked a woman out, she was a Bengali Muslim. I'm a Welsh Buddhist. Obviously I was shot down in flames, she was very nice about it.

There was this girl I was in school with when I was about 18. She told me I was sexy and used to try and sit on my lap. I really fancied her, but never asked her out, because I was worried of rejection!
Ego stuff eh!!

However, just occasionally, I fell a pull to someone. Well, like I've got a friend at the moment (and we are just friends). Somehow there is just a sense of being at ease with each other. A sense of ordinariness, but it is a remarkable ordinariness in that I can just be present with her.

There almost seems to be a psychic connection with her. Coincidences all the time. Like I might mention that I had a dream about something, and she had been listening to something about the same topic on the radio. Or we sometimes find we have been thinking about the same things, just out of the blue.

I think it is quite possible that out thoughts have an energy that permeate a psychic level of existence. Perhaps that is a bit like how this African Healer I know can call on the talents and wisdom of long departed ancestors.

Answer 4

Another great question Cosmic!
I like Eve's answer. How fortunate she is. I believe that we are all drawn towards one another because that's what we are....ONE. It is the most natural thing. It is like how our solar system formed from dust particles to rocks to boulders to asteroids and then to planets. Some were further away and formed other planets. Eventually we go back to being ONE.
I think I am drawn towards many people. Some more strongly than others. I wish I could be exclusive but I think that is wrong. I also feel that when the ovum accepts the male sperm cell it immediately rejects all others. (They all die trying to get in). Perhaps it is a gender thing? I am no biologist but it seems plausible. LOL

Thanks for your question

Answer 5

I often feel drawn to certain people & go with it, as I feel there will be great learning on both parts. But that overwhelming feeling of being drawn to someone like a magnet, wow, Ive only felt that twice in my life & could not have ignored it if I'd tried. Its like you fit together like two magnetic jigsaw pieces.
I still have a strong connection with both these people & probably always will.

Answer 6

(((chameleon))) beautiful question! makes me very emotional - just trying to make my thoughts coherent enough to express in writing!
i have been lucky enough to feel this 'pull', whether it is with a friend, new acquaintances, colleague or a lover/partner, in different ways and different levels. we attract, we repel, it is instinctive and we cannot bid it to do what it cannot.
my partner and i had never met [or so we thought] until one summer we kept passing in the street - could not help but glance, smile, nod at each other...3 months later we were standing atop a mountain in our native wales being hand fasted! my mind had already been 'blown away' by all the coincidences, my heart by the burning intensity - but that day, standing barefoot in the blazing sun, took me to a place i had never experienced before - i could hardly speak after the ceremony - in fact all our friends, usually a very articulate lot, were speechless. we all knew that this was , in this Life, an expression and acknowledgment of our travels though other Lives, that our souls were Old Friends.
yet that intensity, that magnetism, swings both ways. . if we argue - ouch! yet we return to our oasis each time, battered but brave, we ride out the storms the goddess throws at us - after all, how much do you want something?! and sometimes the magnets pull tight, sometimes they repel - love is a roller coaster in this Life. maybe next time it will be a tranquil pond!
but it cannot be helped - maybe we will be together for many years, maybe we are meant to spark off each other for less time - time will tell!

'Some people come into our lives
and move the soul to dance.
They awaken us to understanding
with the passing whisper
of their wisdom...
They make our world more beautiful
....Leave footprints in our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same'

thank you to those who have left their footprints, whether friends or lovers, new friends or old [and you on here know who you are too]

brightest blessings to you all
)O(

Answer 7

CC, this is a magnificent question and you've magnetically drawn some of the most beautiful responses I've ever seen! Last evening another Cosmic One and myself were discussing this very concept. The flow of love has been awesome and touching on so many levels. Hugs to you all!

I have nothing to add to the already expressed thoughts and love but will add to the flow of . . .

((((((( Cosmic Magnetism! )))))))


ps, I've felt very drawn into the Cosmic Energy and know others will be drawn into this river of love :-)))

Answer 8

Yes I do.
The spirit within people is similar to water.
Like water people seek their own level.
To see the universal symbolism consider:

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

It's not the most uplifting verse but it does a good job of defining the meaning of water as a spiritual metaphor.

EDIT: I just remembered a better verse (Sorry about so much scripture...) I'll paraphrase :D "When two or more are gathered in my name so also shall I be there." or something close. It's like, when people start to talk with one another and the inspiration begins to rise and soon they start revealing things to one another that neither knew before. That's what happens to me when I'm drawn to certain people. Enlightenment through communion.

Answer 9

Yes over the years I have been drawn to many people some of them the oddest human beings I have ever seen. But in each case if I acknowledge this attraction and act on it, I come away richer in all aspects of my life. Sometimes these people are only in my life a short period of time and in others a lifetime. When one of these people is suddenly taken away due to situation or circumstance I mourn their absence with intensity that sometimes belies the shortness of our acquaintance. That happened just the other day and I mourn the empty spot that he left although he only was a friend. Life is strange and wonderful.

Answer 10

I have, but I am not sure I trust this magnet pull like I used to. I almost feel like it is an illusion that the other person will fill some void in me, whether spiritual or emotional. I don't want to sound cold because I do find relationships fulfilling and meaningful.
