Conjuring and consummating the attitude of sublime passion

It's more than just efficient, even elegant mechanics. It is a compulsive, obsession for an emotional closure before intellectual rest can descend upon you. That obsession and compulsion is a visceral reaction of near enchantment; not an abstract multiple-choice elective. In those moments of compulsive obsession, your whole body feels the total commitment and focus that holds your attention hostage until all possible and feasible cognitive options are exhausted.

To reach consummation is to bring closure and affirm an existential cognitive marker that become the foundation for a new level of engagement. As J. P. Sartre expressed in his writings, to be engaged with the meanings of who you are and what you are provides the intuitive connection between you and others in the moment.
