The hold on the body will never entirely disappear as history can attest. Governed punishment ceased to be centered on torture as a technique of pain; it assumed as its principal object loss of wealth or rights. Even a punishment such as forced labor or imprisonment has never functioned without a certain additional element of punishment that certainly concerns the body itself: rationing of food, sexual deprivation, corporal punishment, solitary confinement. The expiation that once rained down upon the body must be replaced by a punishment that acts in depth on the heart, the thoughts, the will, and the inclinations. Punishment should strike the soul rather than the body.
These things we’ve learned and utilized to our advantage and or enhancement in the D/s and M/s relationships we become involved in. Torture within the lifestyle/bdsm principles aren’t viewed as inhumane, but just, and necessary to act upon the body as well as the mind by methods of discipline and pleasure.
The body of the submissive is both destined and bound in servitude to the Dominant serving as an instrument in which the Dominant intervenes upon to imprison it, or make them work; it is in order to deprive the submissive of a liberty both as a right and as property they become caught up in a system of constraints and privations, obligations and prohibitions.
It is my belief that the submissive body becomes an object of knowledge for the body acts as a conduit to the psyche of the Dominant their essential means of control. Through them their training the submissive is reborn by methods of punishment, supervision, and constraints that subjugate into a body of perceptive servitude the very soul of completeness that inhabits the submissive and brings them into existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body.
This power is not applied simply as an obligation or a prohibition on those who do not have it; it invests them, trained and tortured, marking them, forced to carry out tasks, perform rituals, is transmitted by them and through them; it exerts pressure upon them, just as they themselves, in their struggle against it, resist the grip it has on them.
The soul is the effect and instrument of the Dominant; the soul is the prison of the body, the body of the condemned, the submissive/slave under the domain of the Dominant.
The body our parchment, in which we etch and scribe our teachings, the host of our soul and mind our very existence, what do you suppose would happen if the body ceased to be an option of use/power and or absorption/knowledge?
How would this change us ? And by change I mean if the body were completely taken away how would this affect us (how we interact with one another) based on a D/s or M/s relationship?
Through out the history of time the body has been used and abused and then later safeguarded against through limitations of its use, one might say that it is now the soul that we have dealings with, but its host the body is still affected in some regard. And I now sit here and wonder if the time will ever come when someone will find a way to entirely eliminate its use or find a more effective/non personal way of limiting the connection between body and soul there by reducing the gray areas/fundamental reactions of the body towards applied actions.
Would we still be conduits, could we still react with one another?
