La riflessione del Prof . Krishan Chand Sethi sulla demisessualità letta attraverso la Filosofia Sethiana, che pone al centro il legame emotivo. Un’analisi che esplora il rapporto tra attrazione, intimità e dimensione interiore, oltre le tradizionali concezioni del desiderio
di Krishan Chand SETHI
Gli esseri umani sono spesso descritti come animali sociali, emotivi e razionali. Tuttavia, in queste descrizioni esiste una realtà più profonda rispetto alla semplice nozione di “connessione”; siamo creature della connessione. Numerosi filosofi, psicologi, poeti e pensatori spirituali hanno cercato di comprendere le forze enigmatiche che attraggono un essere umano verso un altro. La bellezza fisica, gli impulsi biologici e i fattori sociali sono stati indicati come basi dell’attrazione, ma l’esperienza umana suggerisce qualcosa di diverso: l’attrazione è molto più complessa. Nel mondo contemporaneo, diverse identità e orientamenti sessuali sono emersi all’attenzione pubblica e possono stimolare profonde riflessioni, tra cui la demisessualità. Essa sfida le concezioni convenzionali dell’attrazione e offre una nuova prospettiva su emozioni, intimità e desiderio. Dal punto di vista della Filosofia Sethiana, la demisessualità non è soltanto un orientamento sessuale; è anche un segno di una più profonda umanità, una comprensione secondo cui la vera attrazione non risiede semplicemente negli occhi, ma nella mente e nell’anima.
Demisexuality: A Sethian Philosophical Exploration of Emotional Attraction.
Human beings are often described as social, emotional and rational animals. But there is a deeper reality in these descriptions than there is in the notion of “connection”; we are creatures of connection. Numerous philosophers, psychologists, poets and spiritual thinkers have tried to figure out the enigmatic powers that draw one human being to another. Physical beauty, biological urges and social factors have been said to have been the bases of attraction, but human experience says otherwise, as attraction is much more complicated.
In today’s world, there are a number of sexualities that have come into the public eye which can be thought provoking, including demisexuality. It is counterintuitive to the idea of attraction and offers a new perspective on emotions, intimacy and desire. From the Sethian Philosophy perspective, demisexuality is not just a sexual orientation, it’s also a sign of a deeper human Godness, understanding that true attraction is not merely in the eyes but in the mind.
Sethian Attraction View of Human Attraction
According to Sethian Philosophy there are several “layers” to human attraction. The first one is sensory attraction, which involves looking at things, seeing them, hearing them, touching them and moving their body to focus on the look, sound, gesture, touch. The second level is an intellectual attraction, ideas, thoughts and conversations produce admiration. The third step is about emotional attraction, and it is through trust, empathy and understanding that meaningful relationships are formed. Existential attraction is beyond these, and is a deep value alignment, purpose and worldview connection between two people.
Very often the primary focus of modern society is on the first level. It’s a message that is continually ingrained in us through advertisements, movies, social media, and popular culture: Physical attraction is the most important thing. However, for many people, attraction manifests itself in another way. Desire is a result of their emotional and intellectual world, which becomes the gateways through which the desire is made visible.
One of the most obvious sexual orientations is demisexuality.
A demisexual person typically doesn’t get attracted to someone just based on looks. They usually don’t base their attraction on physical appearance. Rather, it is created in the emotional bond.Sexual attraction only can be felt after you have formed a bond. But in Sethian understanding is sought before desire is sought after, in the words of the body.
What Is Demisexuality?
A sexual orientation where a person feels sexual attraction towards another person only after forming an emotional bond with them. This emotional bond may be a trust, a vulnerability, a mutual understanding and a sharing of experiences.
The mere fact that they are demisexual does not mean that they don’t value beauty or companionship. It does not mean that they don’t like intimacy. Instead, their path towards attraction is much different than what is commonly thought of as “normal.”
Many people may start to feel attraction to another person and then proceed to emotional attraction. Demisexuals will typically feel emotional first and then become attracted to the person.
This distinction is important as it accentuates the diversity of human experience. Attraction is no more a constant as it is not a constant process. People are not robots that are programmed to react the same way to other stimuli. We are emotional, conscious, have memories and values and are shaped by our perceptions.
Beyond Biology:
While recognising the biological basis for sexuality, Sethian Philosophy does not believe that this is the only basis of human attraction.
Human beings can have meanings for what they have experienced that sets them apart from other creatures. We don’t just respond – we interpret! We don’t simply want but we know. Attraction turns into greater than a biological desire, therefore. It turns into a connection within the body, mind and consciousness.
This is a very nice depiction of this, in the form of demisexuality. It illustrates how to draw people in with an emotional connection rather than with the initial physical response. It implies that desire can not be produced with a quick fix of appearances but rather through comprehension.
Demisexuality is a perspective that reminds us in an ever ‘fast’ and ‘immediacy’ driven world that there are some things that take time in the human experience.
Emotional Resonance: The Philosophy of Emotional Resonance.
An important concept of Sethian Philosophy is the concept of emotional resonance.
Emotional Resonance is when two people connect on a level that is beyond the normal level of interaction. The sense of being understood, respected, valued and being emotionally safe. It is the acceptance by another person not only as a body but as an animated body; a being with one’s own dreams, fears, hopes and vulnerabilities.
Emotional resonance is a basis for attraction for many demisexual people.
It is not an attraction that relates to the beauty of a face, or to the appeal of a body. Instead, it comes from the inner life of another person which becomes meaningful. Trust creates comfort. Understanding creates admiration. Females attract males by being physically intimate.
This is a reminder that there’s a lot of beauty in the world to be found here, but not all of it is found by looking; sometimes it’s found by connecting.
The difference between seeing and knowing is that one is a true experience while the other is merely a thought.
In modern culture seeing is equated with attraction. We are encouraged to make our judgements on visual impressions of attractiveness. However in Sethian Philosophy, there is a difference between seeing and knowing.
The act of seeing someone is to observe his or her outward appearance.
When one knows a person, he knows what is in his mind.
Demisexuality is a focus on getting to know someone before wanting to have a sexual relationship with them. It marks a shift toward perceptions of the surface to deeper understanding. In this respect, the term “attraction” can be used in a more positive way, as it is to mean “appreciation” rather than “possession”.
A person can be normal on the outside, but extremely beautiful on the inside, through their kindness, intelligence, humor, integrity and/or compassion. This transformation is because attraction isn’t just about physical features, it’s additionally regarding emotional and mental encounters.
This demisexual experience shows that in the human experience, sometimes familiarity and understanding makes us beautiful.
There will be some problems in a Fast-Paced World.
While rich, demisexuality faces problems in today’s society.
In today’s relationship world, fast-dating is a top priority. Frequently, first impressions, pictures, interactions and instant judgments dictate romance options. Social media sites promote quick evaluation and instant allure.
Such places can be unwelcoming for demisexual people.
They could have trouble grasping the expectations of society in terms of attraction. Friends can talk about their initial crushes or feelings of physical attraction to someone that they don’t know. Dating apps can seem superficial as they focus on looking good rather than on being in the emotional connection.
For this reason, some demisexual people may be confused for years thinking that they’re doing something wrong.
This view is completely unacceptable to Sethian Philosophy.
Don’t confuse Difference with Deficiency. Diversity does NOT have to be a weakness in human nature, it is one of the greatest strengths. The variety of routes to attraction complements our knowledge of mankind.
Attraction & Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is also emphasized, as is demisexuality.
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to perceive, comprehend and control emotions in one’s own and others. It requires being able to empathize, to be self-aware, to communicate and to be sensitive to other people.
These traits are highly appreciated by many demisexual people as they tend to be the basis of attraction through emotional bonds.
In the eyes of the Sethians, the ability to have emotional intelligence is one of human capacities that is very important. It enables people to get past the initial judgments and interact with others on a deeper level.
EI-based relationships can be more resilient, have more depth, and more understanding between people.
Emotional intelligence can be applied to any relationship situation, but is particularly important in the experience of demisexuals.
Misconceptions About Demisexuality
Since there’s been more awareness about demisexuality, there are some misconceptions that have arisen.
Many people think that demisexuality is synonymous with everyone because of the importance that others give to emotional intimacy. But it’s not the same to value emotional intimacy and be in need of it for attraction.
However, others think that demisexuality is just shyness or social anxiety. However, these ideas relate to behaviour/personality and demisexual relates to attraction.
Some take the demisexuality attitude as a moral stance or cultural choice. Actually, it’s neither of these things. It’s a natural orientation that involves the way that attraction is developed.
Another thing that is misconceived about demisexual people is that they don’t have sexual desires. This is inaccurate. With emotional connections formed attraction and desire can be felt as profoundly as by anyone else.
The problem is that society assumes there is one universal pattern to attraction that it goes by, which can lead to these misconceptions. However, as is shown by demisexuality, there are several routes.
How we are driven to make sense of the world around us.
One of the biggest things that demisexuality brought to the modern times of sexuality conversations is that of meaning.
The Sethian Philosophy is that humans are nature seekers. We are always looking for meaning in our lives, in our relationships, our actions and our self.
This is true for attraction as well.
People having sexual attraction can only mean something when it is related to emotional comprehension. Desire doesn’t stand alone with trust, empathy and connection. Rather, these elements mingle into each other.
Demisexuality helps to show that attraction can be more meaningful than sexual.
As it reminds us, human relationships are more than just physical, but opportunities for emotional and psychological development.
Demisexuality and Human relationship in the Future
The greater awareness within society of the diversity of relationships and experiences may lead to a general reconsidering of relationships, which could include demisexuality.
Its acceptance can inspire people to challenge their notions of attraction and intimacy. It is a reminder to us that desire can be experienced in only one right or one wrong way. It fosters tolerance of diversity and further discussion of emotional bonding.
One of the lessons it may have to offer is patience.
“Demisexuality teaches the value of allowing relationships to develop naturally, in a culture that is deeply in love with immediacy. It’s a reminder to us that it takes time, trust and understanding to make meaningful connections.
It isn’t only the things that come with a spark. They start with a talk, friendship, a common problem, or slowly find a level of trust. These attractions can develop gradually, but are not any much less real.
Conclusion
A demisexual is a person whose sexual orientation from a Sethian perspective is more than just a sexual orientation. It’s a testament to a fundamental human fact: You must feel connected before you’re attracted.
It questions the notion that wanting has to start with looks, and shows that emotional connection can be the foundation for attraction. It makes us recognise that there is no such thing as beauty that is out there waiting to be seen; beauty is found. It reminds us that knowledge is sometimes as tantalising as just looking and faith as alluring as looks.
In short, demisexuality makes the world a richer place as it contributes to the understanding of human nature which is one way that people feel attraction and connect in relationships. It encourages us to transcend the simplistic level of explanation and to value that human interaction is complex.
With the eyes seeing, understanding unveils the soul, as Sethian Philosophy says, “For some, attraction is not the result of seeing, it is the result of understanding. Desire does not start with appearance, it starts with connection.”
This is one of the most important truths about being human: Love can be the most compelling attraction when it’s first experienced with understanding, then enhanced with trust, and finally deepened by emotional intimacy.
No matter what happens, you should never lose faith in the Lord.Always have faith in the Lord, regardless of what happens.
