06.01 Principles: Introduction

I use three different modes in which I place my slave. These are slave mode, at-ease mode and relax mode. A mode is a taught system of behaviour that is required of a slave. How a slave presents, speaks to his Master, behaves, sits, eats and dresses is determined by pre-existing rules that are tied to modes. That means that a slave is taught how to act depending on the mode he is placed in. A whole set of instructions are conveyed to the slave by the simple commands “slave mode”, “at-ease mode” or “relax mode”. Each has a different meaning that is taught to a slave over time.

The slave mode is the default mode of behaviour for a slave whenever no command is given to the contrary and is the most important mode for a slave’s development. The slave is expected to learn and use both these modes to display himself and exhibit acceptable behaviours. Ongoing training will help a slave attain and sustain this mode of behaviour. A Master will help his slave make the connection with the slave’s inner slave spirit stronger and eventually more and more permanent as birth as an owned slave approaches. This will, of course, take time.

Obedience is the goal. Practised constantly, it is the only mentality and thought that will allow slave to develop into his slavery. A slave's only pleasure is from obeying. These principles allow a slave to obey, at all times and in all circumstances. Living by the principles both provides for becoming a slave and living as slave. A slave needs to embrace these principles and find ways to occupy his whole life with them.

The principles outlined in this section are work in progress. Principles are added gradually as the training progresses and a slave will be told which principles are being addressed at any particular time and will be alerted to any additions. A slave will not be expected to take on board all principles at once, and so the principles contained here are those being currently worked on. Once a slave has been trained in a particular area, slave will be disciplined or punished for poor service or behaviour in that area.

Some principles require little or no training, others will require more formal and longer periods of assimilation. What is included in this handbook may change as the training progresses.

As these principles pertain to an owned slave, a Master’s property and most prized possession, the slave is referred to as ‘it’ throughout this section.

Although there are three different behavioural modes, they, of course, apply to one slave. It is behaviour that is different in each mode and not the slave’s natural character, personality and spirit.
