What does it mean when we say that a Master owns His slave mentally? How does One own another mentally? Can thoughts really be owned? These are some questions which I saw posed recently which made me consider this aspect.
It is fairly well known that a slave’s thinking will move towards her Master’s as time progresses. A well trained slave will be able to decide what her Master would do in particular situations if He were there. When a slave is able to make these decisions on her own, her value to her Master increases. Value jumps when a slave is able to accomplish tasks with less intervention from her Master.
However, what about a slave’s thinking? Will she lose all her individual thoughts? My experience is that this is unrealistic. A slave cannot overcome her humanness of which thinking is a part of. Thoughts tend to pop in out of nowhere without rhyme or reason. Slaves are not exempt from this happening. Also, slaves will still carry a series of beliefs with them. Of course, these will change as time passes. This is another human condition. One does not believe the same way at 45 that He did at 25. Experience give a person a different outlook.
It is an impossibility for one not to have her own thoughts and opinions. This is a natural state which will be ever present. The important variable is what is done with those thoughts. A slave might object to something her Master says (the thought) but following through in an obedient fashion is what is important. The same thing with beliefs; a slave might hold a particular viewpoint inside her head but if it stays there it is not a problem. It that point is expressed contrary to her Master’s opinion is when there is difficulty. Finally, a well intentioned slave will learn that most of the things which were meaningful before lose their relevance over time. The depths that one is taken to in the M/s relationship will awaken a feeling that overcomes all else. The desire to serve trumps most other beliefs that a slave entered the relationship with.
