To me slavery means giving all of your control and your rights over to the Dominant Who owns you. Giving freely and with all your heart. The honor to please that Dominant is priceless and should be revered. Slavery is a cherished action. One that so many attempt and so few are truly able to accomplish.
We as people are always so worried about what others think. About how we are and how others perceive our moods, attitudes and actions. Constantly being drawn into that dramatic way of things. The consistent worry about how others see us can cause so many problems within ourselves that everything else gets clouded up in the process of living life.
However, slavery to the proper Dominant can free us from that ambition. That sneaky, slippery ambition of trying to please and appease and prove ourselves to everyone around us. Because we are only to be ultimately concerned with pleasing One Person. The One Who owns us. It is a very freeing sort of bond.
To give all of yourself, heart, mind, body and soul to Another is a scary and thrilling proposition. And that is what true slavery means to me. Being able to offer up everything of oneself in order to please the One they belong to.
It is a hard won battle to be sure. And something that is forever being molded and sculpted and sought after everyday of our lives. For we are human after all and it is a constant struggle to give up everything into Someone else’s hands.
Mayhap there will come a day when that is not the case. And perhaps it is that way for some from the beginning. But for me, slavery is something i feel deep within, and it is something that i know i have to work at and work toward every moment of every day. In every one of my actions and thoughts i pray for the time when it’s not something that needs thinking about but simply something that is as natural as drawing my next breath.
But in the end…it is an amazingly surreal and freeing result. we are able to let the cares and weights the world impresses upon us go and trust in our One that He or She will handle whatever might come out way or be thrown at us. we are able to truth in our slave bonds and finally relax, knowing we are safe and protected giving that control over to Another.
It takes much and it takes quite a time to build that level of trust. So that we can truly live the life of a true slave. And everyone is going to backslide from time to time and we are all going to have issues that come at us. For those of us who are normally in control, be it in our jobs or with our children or other friends…it is our duty to give everything over to Them and let Them handle everything for us and know that They won’t steer us wrong. Guiding us through life’s little mysteries and problems and joys.
It is an awesome and outstanding thing to experience. And it is something that i sincerely strive to accomplish every day of my life.
Well-written and powerful. This resonated with me.
