Hello and welcome. I'm glad you could join me, today. I was wondering if we could talk for a bit, have a nice and quiet conversation about something that's been on your mind for quite some time now. I'd like that very much and I have a feeling you'd like that too so... please... take a seat or lie down if you wish... get as comfortable as you possibly can and hear me out.
I'd like to talk to you about submission. Yes, that word, that feeling, one I'm sure you already knew it was coming because you heard its echo in the deepest recesses of your soul long before you started listening to my voice. You know what it means, of course... the desire, the longing to submit, to serve, to give in to the control of another and find pleasure through surrender. Thoughts of submission have accompanied you in one way or another through your life and, even though they're there, whispering, muttering, humming its joyous melody, you continue to struggle with them every single day.
How am I doing so far? Have I touched a soft spot? Yes, I have, and you know it but that's okay, because if those spots aren't touched, how will you know for sure what they feel like, how will you acknowledge the worth they carry inside? There's no shame in talking about things like these, bringing them out into the open. No, the real shame comes from avoiding the subject, dodging it, pretending it's not really there.
That's part of your struggle, isn't it? You wonder if those feelings, those cravings you carry within are true or not. And you also wonder if there's something wrong with you for having them in the first place. I'm here to assure you that it's perfectly natural to have submissive needs and yes, yours are very real.
And how do I know this, I can already hear your curious mind ask. Well, the fact that you continue to listen to what I'm saying to you right now instead of simply ignoring me and going about your business is a sign that my words resonate with your desires and, by choosing to listen to them, you're already allowing yourself to accept submission as a core part of who you are. This act of choice is very important for it is at the basis of everything that might happen from now on.
Of course, choosing to accept something as real and it being truly real are two different things, right? Or are they? Let us consider that pertinent philosophical question for a moment: what exactly does it mean to be real?
For some people, real things are tangible things, things that affect the environment all around in ways that are easily demonstrable, repeatable, predictable. Modern science as we know it takes this stance and runs with it, creating vast arrays of equations and principles that define the boundaries of what is considered fact and simple illusion.
For others, however, reality is in fact an expression of one's belief. If you believe in something enough, that something is definitely real. Faith, religion and mysticism owe a lot to this basic tenet but so do feelings as a whole and, to me, life is much more interesting when feelings are allowed to bloom, for blooming is accepting as well, is giving permission for things to grow and become even more substantial with the passing of Time.
The debate concerning the nature of reality is, of course, far more complex than this, but I've chosen to keep things simple, for what's simple is easier to understand, and what it's easier to understand is easier to accept. I believe your feelings of submission are true and so do you, and this shared belief makes them even stronger. The more you believe in them, the stronger they become, and the stronger they become, the more you believe in them because they are true. Accept them for what they are, true manifestations of your self. Your submission has always been real because true things can't be anything else than that.
And as you allow yourself to contemplate this simple truth blooming in your mind, you also realize that reality continues to manifest itself to you in something as trivial and powerful as what you've just experienced. You realize that the focus of your attention has shifted from the inner layers of fear you carry with you at all times into something external, yet also a part of you, something that, even though outside, is speaking to you from within you.
You already knew my voice was real from the moment we started talking but now, as you continue to listen to it more and more, as your focus narrows and its intensity expands, you feel as if my voice has always been there with you, guiding you, showing you the path of acceptance you've yearned for so long. My voice is as real as your desires, cementing them, but also giving them wings to fly. My voice is real, and you accept it as easily as you accept everything else now, in fact, becoming even easier for you to accept the reality it brings forth, the truth you've always known to exist.
Keep listening as if there's nothing else all around. Let your reality and mine merge with each sound you hear and accept each syllable, each word and each sentence, without thinking. My voice is like the knob of an amplifier cranked up all the way to 11, capturing your thoughts as easily as it blocks everything else. Focus on me and your desire to submit and accept them both as the knob begins to turn, fading everything else.
11 is a pretty number, two 1s side by side like two people talking, sharing a common goal and accepting it, but 10 is even better because it has a 0 in it... 0 worries, 0 doubts, 0 chances to resist acceptance. It's a very subtle shift in volume from 11 to 10, but you can hear its echo in my words as the knob continues to turn.
