Being a bit of a word nerd, I subscribe to word of the day on dictionary.com
Since I started subscribing a couple of years ago, I've encountered all kinds of lovely words that I wasn't aware of. Rarely, though, does a definition catch my eye and give me pause for thought. That is until the other day.
So, gentle IC'ers, today's word of the day is:
anoesis
Sounds like a medical condition, doesn't it? Not quite, but it is a condition of sorts. According to dictionary.com, the full definition is:
|
anoesis /an-oh-EE-sis/, noun: A state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion without cognitive content. |
... and that sounds to me like the perfect description for subspace, at least in the way I experience it.
I can't think of many states of mind that free me from the constant cognitive chatter that permeates my waking life. I have tried meditation in the past, but even then, stray thoughts kept crowding in from the periphery. The only equivilent I can think of is when I'm in the throes of orgasm, but that state of pure existance is all too brief when you're equipped with a male body.
Subspace, though, allows me to reach an almost perfect state of anoesis, and seems to be the only way I can find that rare place of stillness. The background noise is gone, and my mind can at last achieve that razor sharp focus. I exist totally in the moment, truly experiencing every nuance of sensation and emotion, and become completely focussed on the pleasure of the one who has led me there.
I crave it, I need it, and I miss it when it is gone.
Perhaps subspace isn't the same for everyone. Perhaps everyone's experience is entirely unique, but at least for me, it's all about being taken to a place where instinct rules supreme; taking leave of my senses to let sensation alone sweep me away.

Thanks for this. very interesting. I too love words..... sometimes i even make up my own!!! Apparently, there is a magic number in terms of using a word that gets it into the dictionary! not sure how often youd have to use a word. never come across this word before, twistee. Does it derive from latin?? pollyx | |

Yup, I often make up my own words too. Words are fun to play with, don't you think? Anyway, I just looked it up again, and here's what they say: "Anoesis is derived from the Greek word noesis meaning reason or intellect and the prefix a- meaning not. Thus it means, no reason."
So basically the ancient civilisation next door on the right ~Twistee~ Everything is better with a twist Edited 30 Oct 11, 8:28 AM by Twistee |
