MessageYes and no, I agree but there's a bit more to it, because you can feel unconditional love like for your grandparents or for young children that doesn't necessarily draw in the kidney energy as it does for someone who you are attracted to.
To elaborate, I can be attracted to someone that I'm not in love with (like you said), and people can get addicted to that kind of relationship.
The balance point being that it is much better to be with a lover that you are attracted to AND in love with...and it is essentially true that if you are in love with someone (in a romantic sense), then the sexual attraction is there too.
The bottom line of it is that I just wanted to make the point that is is good to be aware of those two polarities and MUCH better to be with someone that you are in love with than just attracted to whenever possible.
From the viewpoint of spiritual cultivation I think that it helps resolve things on a larger scale when two people are together who love each other, as that stellar spark from the heart that feels the love is drawn to something similar in the other person. The lust helps ground it in to the physical body and makes it real here in the physical plane so it exists in the emotional, spirit and physical bodies.
I guess that's why people say "follow your heart" rather than "follow your ****"
