I must have been in my 20s when I first heard about bdsm and remember asking myself then why anyone would ever sign up for this. Yet, it’s nothing but a stark ego symbol, an exploration of craving for power, as well as fear of power. The sexual pleasure of pain is the twisted ego displayed at work. Fact of the matter is that no matter what we identify with, things will always get twisted unless we awake to the convoluted mind games at work.
Each fake smile towards a superior officer, and every contemptuous smirk towards someone who isn’t quite up to our standards is a practice of bdsm, an abuse of power, a selling out of who we truly are. My biggest criticism of our spiritual community is that many are not even willing to look at the war inside, and that’s why I always keep several good friends in my network who are not scared to describe our urges, fears and struggles and deal with them. That doesn’t mean that we fall for ego-centered energies. It just means that we are aware and mage to step out of them before the energies have claimed the better of us.
