I consider myself to be asexual, somehow which I view as my first experience with the Left Hand Path, I was involved in the kink community. I didn't have sexual arousal, but I found pain to be meditative, my play style was remaining stoic as someone tried to break me down, floggers, whips, etc.
I know it's kind of an odd thing to find spirituality in, but I loved the underground subculture, how the dance studio after dark became a dungeon. How people dressed up in ritual garments.
I loved the sense of strength as I knew that I could take a whip, a punch a flogger without flinching. It wasn't sexual for me. I've done Flesh Hook suspension which was originally a Native American and Hindu ritual used in religious ceremonies.
I tried to get back into the kink community, recently, but it was very full of woke stereotypes, I made a comment saying JK Rowling had the right to her views, even if I disagreed. Let's just say I didn't really fit in, but around 2011-2013, I consider it my first taste of Magick and Meditation with the current of the Left Hand Path.
For me it was meditative and not sexual at all, I know being part of the BDSM community as a form of meditation sounds weird, but there were monks that flogged themselves to bring themselves closer to God.
This is a thread all about pain being used to bring about a mystic state, what are some cases throughout history?
I just realized that BDSM play sort of represented a metaphor for my life, currents whether karmic, planetary, or energetic tried to break me down, I remained standing and whenever I was brought broken down to my core, I built myself up stronger, just with more trust. I guess I need to develop that trust I had with the play partner to not take things too far and associate it with the spiritual.
