    I h o p e i t ’ s o b v i o u s t h a t f a n t a s y p l a y s an important part in one’s desire to become a slave. For that reason I cal ed one of the characteristics listed above “fantastic.” Fantasy by itself is very often ultimately unattainable. Nevertheless when viewed as part of our imagination, it feeds our creativity, providing gist for a vision toward which we can work and by doing so eventual y arrive at a transformation of some part of that fantasy into reality.

    In fact, the purpose of this book is to facilitate transformation, that is “an act or instant of transforming.” To transform is “to change markedly the form or appearance of; to change the nature, function, or condition of.” In short, this is a book about change.

    Change is probably the most necessary condition one must embrace in order to create a master/slave relationship. Change, too, is always with us, the natural state of human existence. Every minute of our lives we age, and therefore we change. More specifical y we must start with the question of “How do I have to change to be what I want to become?” How wil you be different when you are a slave? What actions and decisions wil in fact transform you from who you are now to what you seek to become?

    Over the more than twenty years that I have been seeking slaves I have seen innumerable instances where resistance to change has been the strongest obstacle to realizing the applicant’s goal. This resistance is most often manifest not in speech but in action, or perhaps it might be better said that it is manifest in inaction.

    How many readers, I wonder, skipped over the “After Reading Activities” at the end of the introduction? Reading about becoming a slave wil not train you to be a slave. You must embrace the transformational process by action. Let me state again that “real slavery and true service are manifest in behavioral outcomes.” If you are wil ing to be trained as a slave, you must be wil ing to change your actions so that they reflect slavery. You must divest yourself of those things which keep you from your stated goal and acquire those skil s and artifacts that wil al ow you to act as a slave.

    In most cases, this is not as serious a step as your fear and doubt would have you believe. We are talking about smal , reasonable steps at every step of the journey. Much of this book, in fact, is about those steps. The task is to make yourself ready, prepared for the future about which you now dream.

    An important step in creating a successful M/s relationship is to find that part of your fantasy which can be created and to acknowledge that which wil never become real, shedding it in some measure from your vision, if not your dream life. For that reason one’s search, though 16

    it is sired and fed by fantasy, must be rooted in the possible. What’s possible, of course, is incredibly varied. It is possible to find a partner with the wherewithal to fulfil a fantasy for long-term confinement, for instance. Whether or not that is probable is another story, but probability must also be taken into account. So possibility must be weighed with probability and the true seeker for a master wil do al he or she can to improve the probability of success.

    Refine your fantasy into a practical vision about yourself, your partner-to-be, and your future life together. By looking at your M/s relationship in terms of reciprocal characteristics, you can evaluate your fitness for each characteristic and thereby gain an understanding of your future partner’s characteristics as wel .

    There are a large number of attributes we can consider and I am certain that there’s no way I can list and explain al of them. In fact, such a list could be self-defeating as none of us has a crystal ball foretel ing what the future wil hold when it comes to partnerships. The first caveat, then, is to keep your vision flexible and your options open.
    History is a strong indicator that the
