Why Mystery is Attractive
Some mystery is attractive between the sexes — from man to woman as well as from woman to man. This can be seen as a reflection of the natural allure of the unknown within our deeper selves.
Yet, one shouldn’t merely pretend to be mysterious.
Relation to the subconceptual
The subconceptual elements of our mind – the complex, non-conscious patterns that shape our thoughts and behaviors – play a significant role in this attraction. It’s about the spontaneous recognition and completion of patterns that resonate on a deeper level beyond what is immediately apparent or rational.
In other words, deeper self is attracted by deeper self.
Being genuinely mysterious is more powerful.
Being genuinely mysterious involves embracing and expressing the depths of one’s personality without pretense. This authentic display of depth invites others to explore and connect with their own deeper selves, fostering a profound connection that is rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
The real allure of mystery lies in this genuine engagement with the unknown aspects of ourselves and each other, which can lead to more profound and meaningful interactions. In essence, mystery is attractive because it offers a glimpse into the depths of another person, prompting a natural curiosity and desire to understand and relate on a deeper level.
Deepening relationships
This interaction can enhance personal growth and deepen meaningful relationships, enriching interactions between individuals. It aligns well with Compassionate values of openness and respect for human depth.
Mystery serves as a gentle invitation to others, beckoning them to discover more about us gradually. This process of gradual revelation mirrors the natural unfolding of our inner landscapes, where layers of understanding and connection are revealed over time. It’s akin to the unfolding of a narrative, where each chapter adds depth and intrigue, compelling the reader to continue exploring.
Mystery naturally engages both emotions and intellect.
On an emotional level, it stirs curiosity and fascination, while on an intellectual level, it challenges one to think and question.
This dual engagement makes interactions not only more engaging but also more rewarding as each person dives deeper into understanding the other. The mystery encourages a dynamic interplay between knowing and wondering, which keeps the relational dynamics vibrant and evolving.
Respect for individual complexity
By valuing mystery, we acknowledge and respect the complexity of the human psyche. Recognizing that each person is a deep well of thoughts, feelings, and experiences promotes a respectful approach to learning about each other.
It underscores the understanding that no one is entirely knowable, reflecting a deep respect for individual autonomy and the multifaceted nature of human beings.
Enhancing the journey of discovery
In relationships, the journey of discovery can be as rewarding as the discoveries themselves. Mystery adds richness to this journey, ensuring that it remains a sustained and enriching process. It encourages a continual investment in the relationship, where both parties stay engaged and motivated to deepen their understanding and connection.
It is said that to keep a relationship vibrantly alive, one needs variety.
Mystery is an intimate well of profound variety.

It’s about the Symbols
Symbols, more than just representations, connect to deep-seated patterns of mental content. This underscores the profound influence symbols can have on our non-conscious mind and behavior. Fundamentally, humans are symbol processors. Often, we don’t consciously act as such, but it fundamentally shapes our behavior. This non-conscious processing can lead to seemingly irrational choices, driven by Read the full article…
Searching Stability
People want stability in meaningful depth, not therefore in things of meaning. Evolutionary Life itself can be seen as a search for stability amid entropy and chaos. With some complexity, along the evolutionary process, this search becomes a search for meaning as a natural quest. Life searches stability at the level of meaning. Animals are Read the full article…
The Power of Embedding
This is the power of complexity in humans and in present-day Large Language Models (the most visible form of A.I. nowadays). ‘Embedding’ is the transformation of information/knowledge into a format of many subconceptual elements interacting in multifaceted systems that makes this information prone to emerge in novel ways. A multitude of relatively simple (smaller than Read the full article…
