The Power of Attraction

Most people associate only Beauty and Sexuality with Aphrodite.  On a deeper level however, Aphrodite represents the magnetic Force that draws people together, and not simply for sexual union.  My experience of it, witnessed primarily as a therapist, is that this Force, also called the "Relationship Spirit" is of such awesome intelligence and wisdom that it can draw two people together with perfect attention to their most painful and corresponding issues which if openly attended to, could transform both so completely and with such Beauty that there would be no doubt that Divine forces had brought them together.
