How I use M/s or D/s in my spirituality...

I was raised into the usual Western Judeo-Christian religious order, and have studied comparative religion my entire life. Religion is just the portable handle people have tried to put on the indefinable - like a light switch is the place you go to turn on the unseeable electricity.

So I have studied the religions of the world to distill the handles people have distinguished all over the world, from every culture.

There are cultural differences, but they all have a few ironic common denominators...that learning to submit the will and ego, and suspend judgement and demand, provide a new realm of possibility for love, for experience. Conversely, one can produce awesome results when manifesting powerful, consistent and unrelenting action through the force of will, if rightly directed with an end in mind.

Paradox. Balance. Yin/yang.

I am a dominant personality who has learned that the submissive direction of my will ( i am a sub) provides a world of pleasure and purpose I never dreamed possible.

I believe that I am a source of fascination and awe for my doms...that such power will willingly yield and serve at the feet of another, when the world would fall at my own feet if I demanded it.

I believe that Doms/Masters actually find that they serve, as much if not more than they are served. The immense care that a good Dom or Master displays, the immense energy it takes to sustain the will to power in one's family...it is earned, and cannot effectively be demanded and held for long with much satisfaction, in the absence of some real caring and service. Ironic yet true. To teach, to direct, to order, to demand to a standard, is to serve if you look deeply. Not to mention the care and protection and sustenance a Dom or Master gives.

These life lessons teach me Who God Is, and who I am. This is how I use the lifestyle as a life school.

Call it simple semantics, perhaps, but what you define as transcending humanity, I chalk up to endorphins; a very human element. 
 The mind is an incredibly powerful tool and most of us use the barest portion of it throughout our lives. I don't know, one way or another what is possible.. but I like to think that 'almost anything' would be fairly accurate.

Perhaps 'endorphins' was too limiting a word, I should have said "Chalk it up to brain chemistry" because my experience agrees with yours; sub space is a languid state, more of an inner focus, whereas to be within that energy field you  have described so well is wonderfully interactive.
Yes, we do have to find our own paths, and no, it doesn't greatly matter what name we give it; which makes me wonder at myself and why I felt the need to articulate my discomfort over your use of the word spirit.

Maybe the spirit moved you. ;) 

I'm sorry.. I couldn't resist.

You know, I've never looked at it this way before. It fascinates me. Master and I will have to discuss this.. I'm quite curious to get his take on it.. thank you so much for sharing this!

I love these boards. :)

Well, I just spoke to Himself and I love the way he put his perspective.

Me: Do you believe that Masters serve their slave?

Himself: It's a symbiotic relationship. A Master serves the needs of their slave. The slave serves the needs AND the Person of their Master.
