| “Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.” - Anais Nin - |
In a recent Weblog I wrote that: “there is something fundamental about the very trait of submissiveness that is, at least for me, undoubtedly life enhancing” and, shortly afterwards, in a response to a thread, I claimed that: “even if I wasn't emotionally and spiritually submissive, I'd like to think that I would pursue that trait purely from an intellectual point of view.”
Those statements arose from an instinctive knowledge that they are true for me; however, as I am prone to do, I've been thinking about what I really meant by them and whether, if I was challenged, I could actually point to any practical examples of the advantages of embracing submissiveness as a lifestyle choice.
Looking back at my journey of the last year or so, my answer to that is an unequivocal yes. In fact the advantages and benefits are so many and so varied that, if it got out, all those self help books could become redundant.
What interests me most of all about my evolution is that it has come about through a simple belief in what I can be, along with my own continuing determination to incorporate what flows from that into my day to day life.
This has not required the inspiration and motivation that are part and parcel of a dominant /submissive relationship, only a realisation that my nature is a blessing not to be squandered.
So, for my next bout of indulgent self examination, I'm going to try and count my blessings.
