%ATTRACTIVE RELATIONAL POSSIBILITIES 800719
In the objective world attractions exist only between
existing objects. In the world of personal relationships
attractions may involve relational possibilities. Jack
may be attracted to the intimate possibilities which are
apparent in a possible relationship with Jill, even before
Jill is aware of those possibilities. When Jack
communicates his interest in those possibilities via a
glance Jill may, or may not, show interest in and
attraction to the possibilities which Jack has realized
might exist, and so realized into possible existence. The
intimate relationships do not yet exist fully, they exist
only as recognized possibilities; yet, earlier they did
not exist even as recognized possibilities. That which
did not exist as a conscious reality thus becomes a
conscious possibility to which Jack and Jill may be
attracted.
In the reflexive world attractions exist between
relational possibilities. The relationships which might
exist may be the focus of attraction, rather than objects
which do exist. Attention is just as much focused upon
relationships as upon objects. Objects in the absence of
personal relationships are not personally interesting or
attractive. An unresponsive person is not involved in
attractive personal relationships because an unresponsive
person is not relational, but objective. Jack,if healthy,
is not attracted to Jill as an object, but as whole person
who might be a participant in an attractive personal
relationships. The possible relationship is attractive,
not the object Jill. If Jill indicates no interest, or
else indicates aversion, to such a relationship---then
Jack perceives that the attractive relationship is not
possible and so is not attracted to it, because it is not
possible---because it is not possible, it is not
attractive.
Some realities are real because they are both poss-
ible and mutually attractive to the possible participants.
The possibilities are real as possibilities---before they
are realized in actual objective behavior. There are
different kinds of realities; not all realities involve
objects and/or objective behavior. Some realities are
possibilities which are attractive.
