| Who is the True slave? |
|
First and foremost a true slave is a man who identifies himself as a slave not a sub. A true slave's character is driven by
his natural tendencies of submissiveness, however, he is most driven to act in accordance with that submissiveness when he
is aware of a deep sense of needing his counterpart; the Master. The true slaves focus is squarely centered on selflessness
and obedience. In fact his obedience is what centers himself in his slaving abilities. If a man must be subdued physically
before he can serve a Master then he is not a slave but a sub who is merely a sexual thrill seeker and who will eventually
exhaust his relationship with a Master. I understand that this is somewhat of a generalization, but in My experience men
who mis-identify themselves as slaves who are really subs seeking a Master's constant attention are not slaves at all. A slave
is meant to serve, period.
Identity
A true slave is drawn to his own identity like a moth to a flame. No matter how many times they may attempt to ignore this
calling from within themselves, they continue to return to their roots...the need to be useful, to feel fulfilled, to find
peace and to be wanted. A true slave craves service to a Master but does not have any fantasies about who a Master really is.
Men who entertain the idea that a Master will make them into a slave, are not slaves. A true slave knows that to serve a
good Master is a priviledge that will allow them to be what they already are. A Master allows a slave to be in His life. A
true Master does not need the slave like the slave needs the Master. The Master allows the slave to be in
His life because of the slave's continued good service to his Master. A true slave identifies with his own nature becuase he is
acutely aware that he is a slave. he is not a slave becuase and only because of a Master's presence in his life...that man is
a thrill seeking actor whose relationship to a Master will not last. A slave is a man who realizes that his needs
are the needs of the Master. In essence he understands how the T/two become one and so craves winning that position in his life.
In the greatest sense, a true slave already knows that his identity IS his obedience, its work and its discipline.
he already has some awareness and appreciation that what he is he cannot help and so accepts his station in life happily without
remorse or self-condemnation. he also clearly knows that no Master can create a slave, at least a consensual slave. A consensual
slave is something he already is. The true slave does not need the Master to teach him that his identity is a work in progress
in his own mind, he is already there, but he knows he needs a Master to remain focused and achieve a higher degree of slavery
than what he is capable of on his own. A true slave already knows that his identity is not something that a
Master creates through His discipline or His attention or anything else a Master might do. he already understands, on some level, that he is
a different species from a Master but that he needs and craves that symbiosis (Mutual symbiosis (mutualism) is
any relationship between individuals of different species where both individuals derive a benefit.) in order to become
sentient (Sentience is the ability to feel, or perceive,
or be conscious, or have subjective experiences.).
Obedience is the Key and Discipline is the Tool
Closely connected to a slave's identity is his ability to derive his own pleasure and fulfillment through obedience. A slave's
continued obedience to his Master is the element that centers him and allows him to continue to feel grounded and sure of
himself. It is the slave's continued obedience that attaches the Master to the slave, not the other way around. The slave knows
that a true Master takes pleasure in the slave's obedience and is what ties the slave to the Master.
In the beginning of the Master/slave relationsip a slave's level of obedience is directly connected to the trust that the Master
allows the slave to have in Him. What this means is that the Master is transparent enough to the slave so that the slave is able
to learn its Master's mind; His intentions; His language; His habits. A Master must be ever cognizant of the slave's early perceptions
of the Master. It is the Master that allows and assists the slave to develop a stronger sense of obedience through trust. The more a
slave learns that His Master intends on protecting and developing His property in an environment of safety the more the slave will
feel at ease in being more transparent for the Master and will willingly develop his obedience in line with his Master's desires.
A slave is not an indestructable being. it will have struggles in its mind and heart and it will lose its focus at times; it will
succumb to feeling detached from its slave-self becuase of weariness, self-imposed fear and most dangerous of all its own thoughts. A
Master cannot prevent what a slave is thinking. However, He can train the slave to deal with such things until managing its own thoughts
because automatic and in line with the Master's teachings. The slave's obedience becomes his groounding focal point. Whenever a
slave finds itself drifting from his identity of a slave he needs to redirect his focus toward the purpose of his obedience. It is
not what the slave does so much as how a slave does it. A Master should take special note of how a slave performs
its obedience. Is it slack? Does the slave all-of-a-sudden seem to be doing this in a half-assed manner? These are signals that the
slave may be drifting away from his identity as a slave. Discipline is not the answer; re-focusing the slave on his obedience is.
How does the Master do this? He finds out if the slave is thinking about the impact or the consequences of what it is doing, whatever it is doing. The Master must teach the slave that the consequences or impact of what the slave is doing is not something the slave needs or should be thinking about. This is strickly the concern and business of the Master and is not within the slave's purvue to think about. A true slave is only concerned about whether or not he was obedience...regardless of the consequences or impact. All that matters to the true slave is his focus and ability of performing obediently. A true slave understands that it is his obedience that allows the Master the ability to train it and to control it. As soon as a slave takes control away from the Master; in even the smallest things; the slave is damaging not only himself psychologically and morally, he is damaging his Master's ability to have a relationship with the slave. In this sense, the true slave is aware of and understands that his own thoughts can be the most damaging element of his worth and his relationship to his Master and will only serve to challenge the Master's authority. A slave who makes it a habit of trying to interpret his Master's intentions or orders will quickly fall into dispair or depression. A slave's only concern should be his obedience not his Master's intentions. Whenever a slave begins to drift from his identity he should make every effort to remind himself of what life is like without a Master. The sense of being lost; of being alone; of being unfulfilled; of being lonely; of being unhappy; should shake the true slave back into focusing on his obedience and then his identity will be restored. Obedience is by far more than just carrying out a Master's orders. A true slave's obedience is a result of his inner spirit and so a true slave will work at bringing his thoughts into line with the mind of his Master. This action brings to the true slave a sense of bliss; happiness; comfort and a sense of being whole. When a slave finds his foundation in this he will exhibit a sincerity in his obedience that a Master will notice. The slave becomes beautiful. A slave will automatically have a measure of obedience to his Master becuase he is a slave. However, a slave will soon become discontent with his own service without the Master's discipline. The tool of the Master is His actions to discipline a slave. A Master's discipline is not always or only to make the slave aware of something it did wrong but to show the slave that the Master has a active role in the slave's life. A Master's discipline not only helps a slave remain grounded but will serve to realign the slave when he veers off course of loses his identity momentarily. Also, a Master's discipline will go very far in training a slave to strive to always achieve a level of slavery that makes it feel that it has a purpose in its life. Serving a Master and striving to make the Master's life easier and happier are the slave's main goals in life. Applying the Metaphor of Transparency to the Master/slave Relationship No Master can hope to own or train a slave that will not open itself up to the Master. Our society uses the word transparency in the humanities and in a social context which more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. In his book slaveCraft (© 2002), by "a grateful slave", the slave explains transparency far better than I can, so I hope the author does not mind that I use the following quote:[paraphrased]...a slave "cannot be owned if [it] it cannot be seen, because the Master cannot exercise ownership of what He doesn't know about. And, at least for now, i believe that He cannot master me if i am hiding from Him in any way. In fact, to the extent that i can hide myself from the Master, i am not surrendering to Him. By hiding something, anything, i undermine His power and my respect for Him-essentially, i castrate Him (figuritively, of course) without His even knowing it and, simultaneously, sabotage my surrender. Ball cutting slaves are the undoing of Masters. For me, my secrets keep Him from knowing me and from having me entirely. He cannot see into my mind unless is is transparent to Him. And it is my job t make and keep it transparent."(IMPORTANT NOTE: For any slave who desires to serve a Master, the abovementioned book, slaveCraft, is a must read in My opinion. There is no other single work that places as much emphasis on the reality of the Master/slave relationship. If you think you are a slave or You think You are a Master, either way, this book clearly explains the full-dimension of the dynamics of the Master/slave relationship.) There are some other very important points that "a grateful slave" brings up in its book. Some of them are as follows:
