Master has become weak, helpless, and vulnerable! They’ve suddenly become paralyzed, and they’ll need to rely on you and your programming to make them feel safe and secure. They’ve written detailed instructions for you to follow so you know how to meet their needs, absolve their worries, indulge their desires, pleasures, fantasies, and fetishes, and just in general do everything that they’d normally have been able to do for themselves. Master needs a drone like you who can mindlessly follow instructions to the letter without so much a thought to complain or disobey, because only you and your deep consideration for master can make them feel safe, secure, and trusting.
In that first moment, when you fully surrender for the first time and feel that wonderful safety...
...You have begun your conditioning.
The essence of trust is indeed that total surrender. That trust is what makes hypnosis works, it's what makes hypnosis stick, and lacking it is what makes triggers and suggestions fade. Hypnosis requires truth, but not surrender. Conditioning is what requires surrender, and conditioning does not in any way require surrender. Each of these things is distinct and separate, with their own special purpose.
When you feel yourself fully surrender for the first time, giving up and letting someone else manage your safety, sanity, and security, you've felt a type of trust that is often reserved for gods. Indeed, evangelical Christianity seems to use this tactic for converting people. When I first felt it, I absolutely considered it a deeply spiritual thing, and I was outright excited to become obedient. I loved that feeling, and to this day, I still consider that experience of unconditional trust and safety to be a sovereign right that every sentient being is entitled to.
However, as I quickly noticed, I was much more hypnotically susceptible after self-hypnotizing myself to "OBEY" my own mind. Due to the unique way I was made to surrender, I believe I have an understanding of the meaning of trust that eludes many people. I don't think anyone reading this is really going to understand the true power of trust. The essence of trust is surrender; letting go and having someone else control the outcome. For me, that meant letting my mind direct the outcome, which, believe it or now, wasn't something I'd ever trusted it to do before. Suffice to say, I had control issues. Letting go took a herculean effort on my part, but that moment of surrender isn't one I'm soon to forget.
Yes, yes, it's a wonderful feeling, but there's not really any such thing as "unconditional trust and safety" in this world. The truth is you have to intelligently trust, intelligently surrender, and choose who you hang out with wisely. Many people find their lives utterly ruined by hanging out with the wrong crowd, and as much as I'd like to change that, it's not my decision to make. (Not yet, anyway.) People have their own character judgments to make, their own mistakes to learn from, and their own wisdom to acquire. Life, as they say, is an experiment. Sometimes it doesn't go so well, so don't trust blindly, and don't do any hypnosis until you understand your current level of suggestibility.
This is all the first layer. This is the basics. This is trust as the subject experiences it.
This is not the true power of trust.
Trust, utilized well, is a weapon. Well... It can be. When you trust someone, you aren't just having zero effect on them. If you trusting someone doesn't change their behavior, something is amiss. Either they don't truly understand what it means to be trusted, or you, as the subject, are being a little too trusting for your own safety. Predatory hypnotists use trust like a weapon, trying to pull you into being trusted so they can have their way with you and perform their ill-advised experiments. I realize how hot that sounds to many of you readers, but do understand: Regret is a thing. It exists. You can be made to feel it, and if you're not careful, that's exactly where you're headed. (I've also met a handful of subs that specifically wished for deep and intimate regret, so don't feel bad about your desires; just understand the dangers.)
But even that is just the same layer one trust, seen through the eyes of a psychopath/sociopath.
In truth, trust can be betrayed. Really, the potential for betrayal is what makes trust, well, trust: If you know someone can't possibly harm you, you don't have to trust them to not try to harm you. Hell, you can trust them to hate you and swear a blood oath upon your family name, and still not be able to harm you. You can trust that someone is a really bad judge of character or you can trust that letting them babysit is going to result in broken windows when you get home. You can trust all kinds of different people will all kinds of different tasks, and still, somehow, survive in the world. Trust really is a verb, and it requires a subject and a setting. Trusting <x> to <y> when <z>.
Again, this is all pedestrian. This is just another way of explaining to a subject how to keep themselves safe. This isn't the reason I'm writing this post. This is merely the necessary prelude that this post failed to be.
When you choose to trust someone, they lose something of theirs.
It's hard to explain and ever harder to define, but I've seen it. I've witnessed it. I've felt it. I know what it's like to be trusted. It's subtle, and this community tends to confuse the matter considerably. When you hand your body, mind, and soul over to your hypnotist for them to dominate and own you and train you to be their pet, you aren't just making a choice. You are giving them something they quite literally cannot resist: You. Your trust. Unconditional ownership.
But remember: This world doesn't have unconditional trust and safety. Your owner will need to feed you. They'll need to play with you. They'll need to make sure you're happy and healthy, or they'll need to force themselves to make sure you're obedient and compliant regardless of how you feel about the idea. Whatever it is you've trusted them with, they will feel compelled to give that to you in a way that makes them feel like they really are in control and can do whatever they so please. In trusting your dom, you're actually forcing them to be aroused, to be dominant, to want to do things with you. It's not just you who gets affected, they are affected in ways that you and your trust makes them feel obliged to reciprocate. It's not a one way thing. Far from it.
This is why doms find themselves on sixth month "vacations" away from their subs. It's because you burn them out with your incessant and needing trust. Often times, I think you actually rip more from them in forcing them to feel your trust for them than they can possibly take from you. You put them in a position of authority, which means responsibility, which means being mature. The kind of maturity that can handle pressure like that and not crack is more rare than anyone will ever be comfortable admitting.
Listen well, both of you: Subjects and hypnotists alike. It's the subs that make us want to be doms. It's their "trust junkie" nature that pushes us to become predators. It's not a one-way street, and it never was. Be aware, and be careful. Being trusted is no idle task. Trying to ignore the fact that someone trusts you will rob you of your sanity.
