Who Is Your Master?

[Jade]

I used to be my own master. I used to be very hard and strict on myself, beating myself up for every perceived flaw. If I didn't live up to my own standards, the flogging came from myself. This, then, was to avoid the flogging of others - if no one else could find fault with me, no one could be mad at me or perpetrate anything against me. So if you ask me, the desire for a master-slave relationship is one that stems from fear of, as you called it, the rigors of constantly creating one's own life experience. Is it an attempt to escape the "Law of Responsibility"?

I try to my highest ability each day to have no master other than the Creator. As I control myself less others attempt to control me less which gives me freedom. Or, when they do try to control me, it's laughable. Also, when we can choose our master, it's less fearful than being an unwilling slave to an unseen driver, which is sort of what Earth's really about.

"The Choice" is (in one's mind) often negated when one is chained to a rock at the edge of the cliff.

Fear, unworthiness, and powerlessness are the feelings that cause one to desire slavery - a very weak yellow-ray. We are all our own Logos and able to shine forth our will like the bright noonday Sun as strongly as anyone else.

Thank you Yera for shining so brightly and sharing your light! You have much to teach and we are a forum of eager learners.
