Heavy metals? Rare earth?

I've no idea what you're talking about.

But if you're asking what it looks like to walk into my Gorean home, the answer is: it looks like any other home.

And there are no sleen or tarns in the back yard. Though we do have a horse and a couple of rabbits.

Alright then, if the music is too much of a mystery, I'll spell it plain as day... and take the opportunity to fix my typographicals.


As a gorean Head of household, (or simply a member of such a household) do you find it at at useful to conduct yourself in your home AS IF the world outside of your home was literally Gor, of gold, steel and the bodies of women, etc...rather than Earth, the planet we live on? Obviously there are limits to how far this can extend past one's threshold without attracting unwanted attention, and the few places on earth where some slavery is normative ISIS, parts of the ME and Africa don't otherwise make for good living (nor broadband access, so they're something of a black hole to this forum.)

My question is: Do you employ the 'useful fiction' in any respect, that slavery may be normative outside of your own walls/fences?

If your slave has internalized that she is a slave vs. most everyone else in the world is a 'Free person', you don't need to do anything. When i was in that specific 'Gorean' mindset, i would go to the grocery store, and realize that the cashier checking me out was a Free person, and i was not. Perhaps you could point that out to your slave if she doesn't realize that yet.

Thank you, tamaka. I've employed something similar for that last number of years, but its mode is something of a mix: 80% exactly as you describe, and 20% the slight, yet reinforced sense of being a stranger in a strange land, as I imagine the Hutterites feel among the "English."

The extremely cosmopolitan nature of the city I live in makes the latter 20% a cinch, as it's not the least bit uncommon to hear a dozen different tongues in line at the grocer. Despite 2/3 of us being utterly native, to most we're just another set of strangers.

You're absolutely right, MM, I did throw some shade your way.

I take responsibility for that. Though it wasn't my most skillful moment, I'm still happy to have it stand on this digital hansard for the next millennium.

Now, you have to be honest, at least with yourself. I suspect you're too smart to think that 10 words of condescension is a valuable contribution to a thread. If my suspicion is correct, please try again, as I'm eager to learn from my fellow fellows. If my suspicion busted, as in blackjack, then please don't take my last post as a jab, but as career advice.

A player? Perhaps, though I prefer true cinnamon to cassia, and true chess to Kaissa. I don't play at a high enough level to call myself a player.

A warrior? Well, since we don't have blue in my country, I wore green for the red and white, and in my current job our parade dress is rather crimson (but we insist on calling it scarlet).

Physician? Not an MD, but since my dog retired, my work has taken on a much more scientific flavour.

Builder? That's more my style overall. Regardless of where I've been or who I've been working for, I've never been able to resist the urge towards putting things together, and taking them apart.

Let's go with builder. Plaid and denim are my colours.

How did you interact with the free during this time? How did you address that free person who checked you out? In other words, did you wear your collar on the outside or was it hidden in your thoughts and desires?

Most of my experience with others outside of the household was more of an internal 'awareness' than any sort of physical manifestation (i didn't kneel or anything outside of the home). But i did call the 'free' ma'am or sir, including people like cashiers etc. It wasn't anything i was used to, being from the North, but it was pretty easy to adapt to, especially since my Master lived in the South. I also would do things like bag my own groceries (if there wasn't a bagger). I might still do that nowadays but back then, if i helped the cashier bag the groceries i did it because i felt that was my place to do so vs. thinking i was doing the cashier a favor.
