Mind-to-Mind Connection
Perhaps more so than physical control, surrendering my mind to a Dominant makes me feel less than human. It is fair to say that sometimes mental control is re-enforced through physical control but speaking from a personal level, I have been fortunate enough to correspond with Dominants who I have never met and yet such is their power and greatness that they have been able to re-shape my attitude and way of thinking.
Our intelligence as humans is what separates us from other mammals and if we lose our intelligence to someone else then we are surely less than human. Our ability to rationalize is what distinguishes us from other species and if, for example, we are commanded to perform an action on behalf of a Dominant we have lost our right to choice, we are no longer thinking for ourselves but doing what we are told. That, for me, is the most demeaning part - not thinking for myself but doing what I am told.
Our body gives in easy to pain but our minds are made of stronger stuff so switching off our brains to only receive orders and obey them rather than consider them, weigh up the options and act out of freewill feels so demeaning and humiliating.
I am above average intelligence so placing my brain at a Dominant's feet and allowing them to control it feels complimentary and I hope a Dominant feels flattered to have me under their control. Certainly one Dominant utilities my intelligence for their own benefit and uses me more as their advisor than a submissive slave. They trust me to offer good advice to problems they face so that they can pass the burden of the problem onto me to solve without them having to carry it. Therefore, she is using me for my intellect, I am a useful possession to her.
The very foundations of any BDSM D/s activity should depend on consent. A submissive should say, for example: "I consent to You whipping my body" which is surely against the mind's better judgement as we know that any whipping will be painful to endure yet there is something that makes a submissive want to experience a whipping.
Even as a submissive I admire the Genius and envy the Dominant who can have the earlier voluntarily kneel down before the latter's throne, with the Genius' nose pressed to the floor before the Dominant's boots, their brain in close proximity to the Dominant's feet and as they are in the position the Genius utters the immortal words: "Command me, I will obey!" To have that intelligence at your disposal must be an incredibly feeling!
It is a state of mind reinforced by physical actions and consequences that makes one feel less than human. But equally, if not more importantly, is the status put on the superior. For me, my superior ascends above being a human and enters the realms of a Goddess whilst, I as a inferior, take on the status of a submissive slave to her. Therefore, if we imagine there is three tiers- slavery, humanity and Deity, the Goddess and I are separated by the humanity tier of which one of us is above and the other is beneath.
I can't overstate the importance of feeling and being a submissive slave. If humans are free thinking agents and submissive slaves are property of another who do and act upon the orders and commands of their owner then the submissive slave seizes to be human.
I mention above that less than human is a mindset reinforced by physical actions and consequences. The mindset being a feeling of deference, obedience and admiration for another to the point that although you aspire to be like them you realise and accept that you can never attain their status so all you can do is enhance their own by serving under it. This is reinforced by taking on demeaning tasks such as being their footstool, shining their boots etc. Also devices such as collar and leashes help to reinforce the less than human status along with the submissive slave bowing down and kissing the boots of the Deity.
Mind Power - the Power of Thoughts
The submissive mind is complex and not always easy to understand. Trying to make sense of submission can be challenging and even frustrating at times.
The mind controls our lives. Whatever you want to experience, it all starts with an idea in our minds. All great accomplishments were at one time nothing more than thoughts. And, how we view the world is in direct relation to the way we think. You can research this idea by following countless authors on this subject. The bottom line is that our minds control what we do.
Being submissive is something that comes from within. Many relate to me how they felt when they first realized their submissiveness. It is a concept that came from deep within and finally hit the mind. I believe that the social conditioning of society goes contrary to this idea. We are taught to dominate and control. Giving power to another is thought of as a sign of weakness. Nevertheless, those who truly understand this way of life know different. Submissiveness is not equal to weakness.
