ORIGINAL: lally2 hm! - i think youre all right and im just confusing myself with convoluted thoughts. if i try looking at it this way: that all of me belongs to my Master, even my ego. therefore i submit all of that, even my ego. my ego is no more or less important than any other part of me, it is just that last part of me that i hold onto as mine, me, myself. but as owned property nothing that is perceived to be mine is mine, it belongs to my Master. doesnt tell me how to switch off my ego though. lol. ah well. and thanks guys, ive really enjoyed everyones perspective on this. it all helps! thank you. It's easy to SAY that *everything belongs to my master*.....it's also quite romantic and lovely.......but while M might have *owned* it in theory , he didn't actually GET it. We're realistic enough to know that no-one chucks everything in, in one swoop. That was just the beginning, the intent, the hope and perhaps the wish. Time sorts these things rather ruthlessly. I couldn't have been *owned* in the way I am NOW, in the first months or years ......and I doubt I'll be *owned* in the future, in the way I am today. The gentle trickle carves a deep groove and can direct just as effectively as huge gushes that tend to unsettle everything surrounding. agirl
