In a separate review of the variety of forms of "Intercourse with the Other" (2007), an extensive table distinguished different modes of intercourse from a "benevolent", "malevolent" and "neutral" perspective. This naturally includes the transcendental nature of romantic love and the experience of its consummation. This array of possibilities can evoke the question of how the encounter may have been destined, and what "intelligence" guided that process -- as is often felt to be the case -- irrespective of its nature.

Exceptional charisma, maturity, wisdom, intelligence, integrity, grace, and the like, may be variously imputed to others -- experienced as being extraordinary and beyond the norm. They may be described as imbued with these qualities -- even "possessed" by them. The experience, or the capacity to distinguish those qualities, may also be interpreted as a mirror reflecting qualities dwelling mysteriously and unrecognized within oneself.
