The Dominant

DOMINANT:

commanding, controlling, or prevailing over all others...overlooking and commanding from a superior elevation...of relating to or exerting ecological dominance...being the more effective or predominant one in action...of relating to, or exerting genetic dominance

DOMINANT, PREDOMINANT, PARAMOUNT, PREPONDERANT, SOVEREIGN

superior to ALL others in power, influence, or importance!

To peer backward through the shrouds of time itself, we look into the heart of humankind. It is important to consider genetics when searching for an understanding of the actions of the human psyche. The clues are there, visible and ignored. Those clues tend to be uncomfortable and lead to unmistakably uncomfortable conclusions.

The Dominant is the 'BEAST'. That being capable of standing atop the crushed, mangled bodies of others in the pursuance of his/her objective. Historically, the dominant was the individual who had the capacity, timing, and will to overcome, outmaneuver, and/or conquer others. Some dominants lead through fear, using hatred, pain, and threat to control and drive those within their realm into compliance with their wishes. Some dominants lead through physical dominance, using their physical attributes to 'handle' less endowed individuals. Both of these inevitably fall victim to the dominant who leads through the most deadly combination of all - intellect, intuition, and focused will. The more predominant the ancestral strains, the more ancestors within the line will express dominance.

High-end Dominants are few. Those who truly surmount their world.

The Dominant is born! He/she is the living manifestation of thousands of years of evolution and patterned mutation, quite literally genetic history. The traits are distinct, visible, and tractable throughout history. If you look into the past, you see lines of ancestry marching backward, carrying their legacy traits through endless wars, devastations, invasions, and explorations.

This consideration is perhaps the most clearly understood in the very, very distant simple past. The attacking of one tribe upon another for food, tools, territory, and race survival (or the sharing and spreading of genes). Leading each tribe would be one individual, it's sovereign. After the attack, the most successful of these dominants would live. Almost invariably, they would drive off or summarily kill the vanquished dominant. As the 'new' sovereign, this dominant would harvest the spoils of the attack. Part of those spoils are living human beings. Both male and female humans of lesser dominant strains. Those would be taken by force to either succumb to the new sovereign's rules and desires or die.

"The alignment of power!" Before and beyond nearly any other thing, humans desire to align with the winner. This is a survival trait. Conflicting with a known winner leads to destruction. Among the spoils would stand the full array of human designs. Approximately 10% of the losers would remain loyal to their vanquished sovereign, unable to kneel to another's rule. These most frequently died! About 80% of the losers were able to offer compliance enough to survive. A small fragment of the losers did something else. These were most frequently the mates and children of the former sovereign; they desired to retain their personal power, increase it if possible. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Learn the ways of your enemy by 'becoming' them. These losers were from lines of dominance! Since their line was less 'successful' than the conquering dominant, they wished and needed to merge with this superior genetic line. To accomplish that, several things occurred.

One of these was mutating survival behaviors. The further one must reach down to submit, the more difficult it becomes....unless.... Consider a person of perceived low status who is born and raised to serve. They see no issue with the act of serving another. A person of perceived higher status is not born and raised to offer service; they must reach deeper within themselves to find the power and strength of their genetic line to allow them to not only offer themselves but in such a way as to become important in the alignment of future power. They wish to retain status and power. These seem in conflict, but nature overcomes many such things... The best chance of future survival of their bloodline is in aligning with a winner! Loser's die or become servants of the winners! Basic anthropology.

To look deeper, you have to consider the age of the conqueror. The taking of territory was necessarily a brutal, violent, destructive action. The successful dominant had to have a level of detachment from the agonies of destruction in order to succeed. This is a trait! It is called being 'ruthless' - 'ruth' = love. To be ruthless is to be without love! It is a capacity to take action regardless!

Both the winning dominant and the losing dominant strain share this trait! The capacity for detached, rational action in the midst of chaos. The surviving loser would want to be successful within the realm of the superior dominant. They would use the same trait to conquer in this less visible battle. The submissive is the most successful dominant within the superior Dominant's realm. That submissive will utilize every possible tool to achieve their goal. Their goal is to be the strongest children and have the strongest chance of future survival. They needed to become indispensable to the Superior Dominant. Therefore, they had to be able to become valuable to the Dominant.

How does one dominant submit to another?... Through instinctual biological responses. The deeper recesses of the mind 'know' the desire to survive, creating avenues and pathways unique to allowing this to occur. These hidden traits are passed and shared within the incestuous pool of dominant strains. When conquered, acknowledgedly vanquished, the losing dominant 'sees' one more powerful, stronger, faster, more intelligent, and most importantly, more successful than themselves; this recognition 'triggers' responses.

For the purposes of this article, I will call these auto-responses, and for purposes of brevity, I will merely list them here. These auto-responses may include: Posturing (assuming a position of surrender or vulnerability), sheening (releasing pheromones through the body membrane to express this surrender in scent), loss of control of body responses (freezing, sometimes manifesting as the inability to walk, run or ), listening for command (often an attitude of total focus on speech and direction of the superior dominant), slurred speech (part of an altering of the mental responses, also known as entry into subspace), exposed obvious arousal coupled to seductive responses or openly offering sex and the ability to transmute pain and mentally detach from the event.

It became the losing dominant's desire to entice, beguile, and or endear themselves to the winning dominant. This was done primarily through a positive response! If a winning dominant is 'having a good time', he/she is much less likely to kill, maim, or further destroy and much more likely to desire to 'have a good time again in the future', thus the losing dominant gains a measure of value, life, and ultimately.SURVIVAL!!! or SUCCESS!!!
