When I say that a mind turns me on,I do not mean that words alone constitute the workings of every woman's mind? but they do so captured our imagination Don"t they? When I first meet someone I listen to their words and how they use them in relateing to different things,this is especially true when I meet someone on line, words is what first attract me and creates the essence of that person,...hmmm,, ok use this analogy,,You may find the aroma and the taste of coffee to be entirely different phenomena. I don't think that coffee tastes much at all like it smells. I like them both, but while the aroma may attract me, it's the taste that causes me to keep on sipping, no longer just the aroma. I have always looked at how a person looks the same way: something about the look may draw me in, but then other things take over,to me looks are supperfical to soo many degrees, but the mind portrays the soul..hence to the essence... I want to be appreciated for the physical qualities the same as anyone else,but I have this uncontrollable need to to push myself,, to gain approval, I want to be loved for my essence, though I certainly like knowing that I turn my lover on by the way I look.{you can"t always read poetry by candle light}lol...I know a reflection of how a person looks is important,but a reflection is still just a mere empty shell, we are so much more than a body we are a mind, but we are clothed in flesh. We engage the world through our words and our actions; others, in turn, know our minds only through our words and actions, through the filter of their own senses.We have to remember is intentions occur first in the mind. We are all creatures of mind, we can only be touched by material things insofar as they become part of our mind through the our senses. happiness is an emotion, sadness is an emotion, and being effects of the mind, they can be manipulated by mind. conceivably, we could dream our lives away, safe in our own fantasies.
