Peace,
I am a single female, recently deployed overseas to a location where the men outnumber the women. During my time here, a part of my job is to communicate daily with my supervior's security detail. This requires that I communiate with his personal body guard daily. After meeting this person, and talking to him, i felt a very strong attraction to him immediately and i could not understand why or figure out how to control it. I though about him every day, at night, and first thing in the morning. I found him very easy to talk to and his personality seemed quite to my liking. I discovered that we also had simular interest. I learned that he was married and that made me feel a little disappointed to be honest, but on the other hand i told myself, that it was necessary to have boundaries in place. However, it didn't stop me from thinking about him. I literally felt like a teenager with a crush on an older guy... This is ridiculous thought to my-self... Why am I feeling this way?... Is it because I have not been in a relationship in the past 6 -7 years? I have actually been celebant for a very long time and I have not thought about how that has affected me mentally, physically or spiratually. Is this normal?
I prayed about it and meditated on it, but i could not resolve or come to terms with the feelings I was experiencing.
Due to my lack of discipline in meditation and pranayama breathing, I could not remember or figure out what I should do in this instance... I would appreciate some advise on how to handle these emotions shoule the situation arise again.
Although I am past the age of bearing children, there are times when I feel as if I would like to have male companionship. Someone to talk to, travel with, and share common spiritual interest.
*** Can you tell me what the Gnostic's definition of marriage is? Please elaborate if you have time.
Thank you,

This was an interesting response. Who was he suppose to be? Was he on his deathbed? Were these last words? begs for its annihilation to Mother Death? Through prayer? Can you elaborate a little more?
Thank you

One handles physical attraction by comprehending sexual desire [honey] and thereafter one begs for its annihilation to Mother Death!
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. - Revelation 5: 5

Who was he suppose to be?
He was Bhishma a character from the Mahabharata, the longest Indian poem ever written.
Was he on his deathbed?
Yes, he was a celibate warrior; he never broke his vow of chastity. Bhishma means He of the terrible oath [bhishana pratigya ('terrible oath')], referring to his vow of lifelong celibacy.
Were these his last words? Begs for its annihilation to Mother Death?
Through prayer? Can you elaborate a little more?
In short, his last words address the law of recurrence:
We will have attraction for someone sooner or later due to the lust within and the recurrences that we have formed in past lives. Not every relationship may work out in this lifetime and we must accept that by comprehending our desire/attraction and asking the Divine Mother for annihilation of these egos/feelings "Arrows". Also by being practical and not making every excuse to speak to the person or be with the person if the attraction is too strong. We are weak, especially in the beginning when our willpower may not be that strong. And after so many years of not being in a relationship you may be feeling very ready to have one as you stated. However, he is a married man.
Praying to your Divine Mother also in the moments when you are in his presence can help you. Also, see him as the husband and father he is.
