The sacred truths contained in this philosophy will of course be disagreed with by every Dom, Domme, sub, slave, Top, bottom, Sadist, Masochist, Player and Switch you will meet. Just remember, all real truths are never accepted by the masses.

Doms as the servant

The first great truth of being a Dom in a relationship is that the Dom is a servant to the submissives needs without appearing to be serving. It is the Doms job to bring out, to explore, to cultivate and to help blossom the subs nature and spirit.

Subs have a need to serve

A Submissive has a need to serve, to be of use and in many cases to be used. While this natural tendency can and has been exploited by the dishonorable it is a part of the dynamic that a good power exchange requires. The Dom can best serve the sub by allowing her or him to submit, to serve, and to meet the Doms needs. A true Dom does not do this simply to please him or herself, but because it brings the sub joy. This is the crux of the power exchange, mutual service and symbonic dynamic, both allowing yourself to feel joy and taking joy in your partners happiness.

Dominants do not control their subs

The true nature of a Dom or Domina is not in fact the control of the sub, but the mastery and control of the self. In this the sub is a partner to help explore and define this dynamic, but the journey taken, when all is said and done is an inner one. A Dom does not need a sub to practice but instead can always seek inner mastery.

Subs do not submit to a Master

See above for clarification. The subs journey is a primarily inner one as well. True submission is not to another person, but to your own inner desires and fantasies.

Folks into BDSM are more sensitive to violence then standard

Those who successfully deal with inner feelings dealing with rape, torture and abuse, which not all BDSM folk have, I believe tend to be more sensitive to the reality of violence in the world and in the self.

Fantasy must be free from censorship, both outer and inner.

One problem we as humans face is the idea that if something does not appeal to me it should not appeal to anyone. In BDSM this is true as well. In some cases, such as playing with 14 year old kidnapped girls, I can see some reason behind this. But in fantasy, we harm none. This is an important distinction that can not be over emphasized. In this realm it is vital not only to not be censored by others, but not to be censored by the self. Those who accept and deal with the desires within them are the ones that learn to control those desires and live in peace. Those who repress their desires end up on the bell tower with the sniper rifle.
