."My sexual fetishes had seduced me into accepting a destiny of locating and empowering others toaccept their destinies through a disciplined spiritual practice called "slavery" which employs the use ofSM devices.The myth of SM is that the perfect pairing is a sadist, who likes to inflict pain, and amasochist, who enjoys pain.This is false.A true sadist only enjoys inflicting pain when there is noconsent.Therefore, no sadist would ever waste time with someone who wanted the pain.Masochistsare foremost characterized by their controlling natures.They control their relationships so that theygain what they seek from the "pain giver." No sadist would ever agree to the controlling conditions amasochist demands.Therefore, by their nature, sadists and masochists are mutually exclusivepersonalities.In contemporary leather/SM culture, SM is regarded as a mutually consensual exchangeof power.Negotiation of limits and the communication of signals and "safe words" are established inadvance so that egotistic control by the participants is maintained.The purpose of my practice is to produce spiritual evolution permanent change, not simply anexperience.Authentic spiritual growth never comes from experiences that the ego can predict orcontrol.So to empower destiny, I create situations that go beyond the "safety" of SM and demand asurrender of the very egotistic controls that allow us to feel safe.Experience has taught me that to create the possibility of spiritual evolution, two conditions, which areinappropriate for traditional SM play, are necessary.First, there must be mutual agreement that neitherthe giver nor the receiver will manipulate the experience.Preparing for this requires a discernmentprocess that uncovers any hidden agenda, expectation or malice.The intention must be to freely andwillingly deliver and receive as a gift, whatever experience and information the spirit presents, nomatter what that is.Spiritual evolution cannot occur without this.Second, and more important,informed moral consent is required.Moral consent isn't possible without adequate information.Itrequires abandoning egotistically identifiable expectations and objectives, and agreeing to thepossibility of being permanently spiritually altered by the experience.When both intention and moral consent are present, the devises of SM provide a powerful, efficienttool for focusing full attention on the present moment.Thoughts of what happened yesterday, whatyour father did to you 30 years ago or what might happen tomorrow at work fade from consciousnessas the flogger or paddle insistently returns, like life, without allowing you any control over when, howor how hard.When these devices are wielded with conscious spiritual intent and from a place of love, surrenderingto their power simultaneously holds us in the present, fills us with love and teaches us how to embracelife on life's terms, without weakness.Perhaps most important, the experience can dissolve the fearsand distractions which distort our perceptions and cloud our thinking, and give us the courage andclarity to take the necessary steps required to complete the psycho-spiritual process of integration.OUR SPIRIT HAS ITS OWN AGENDA: OUR DESTINY Until this integration is accomplished, our choices are compromised by the conflicts and confusioninherent in a divided self and we are powerless to recognize or accept the invitation to destiny whichgives life purpose.A spiritual practice involving the devices of SM, but which isn't SM, has the samepurpose as all spiritual practices to discover the truth which will give us moment-to-momentcertainty about every action we take.Embrace every decision with moral confidence and life unfoldseasily and naturally.Honesty is one of the results of this practice.When bound and restrained the stimulation and power wefeel finally free us to react in any way that is honest.When we are challenged by physical stimulationand being held where we can't hurt ourselves or anyone else, we can finally be completely animal inour reactions.And when combined with the intention of love and power, that honesty can lead tolevels of self-discovery that are unmatched by any other means.I am not advocating this practice for everyone.No one has all the truth.The challenge for each of us isto open ourselves up to experiences that allow for the ongoing discovery of truth.It is a lifelong task.Ultimately, no one can ever do anything profound or significant based on what someone else has toldhim.Only our personal experience of truth gives us the confidence to act powerfully and effectively inobedience to that truth.The real work is to find our own unique spirituality, experience our ownanswers and live by an unshakable internal moral certainty that isn't open to compromise or to externaledict.My job is to give those who seek destiny the tools with which they can personally determine, assessand reject or accept as legitimate the truth they learn.I don't dispense the truth.I provide unnervingexperiences and criteria through which people surrender to what is true for them.Only that truth whichaffects our own lives inspires us to live powerfully.The truth doesn't change, but the pieces of truthwhich liberate and motivate us do.Ironically, more prejudice is directed at leather folk from within the gay and lesbian community thanfrom the world at large.Our use of SM devices provokes bigotry and moral righteousness from thosewho don't practice SM [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
