It was easier this way. Not having to think. Not having to stress or worry. Just allowing yourself to float along on their voice. Eyes closed, body limp, letting the foggy, fuzzy sensation fill your mind. Feeling what they want you to feel. Thinking what they want you to think.
If you had any awareness, you might have noticed the mantras tumbling out of your mouth, as the thoughts they were making you think. But instead, all you noticed was the pleasure of obedience, and that to obey was to feel pleasure.
Finally, eventually, you started to come back up. Finding your thoughts, scattered and weak. Finding the small amounts of energy to move. And as you opened your eyes, you realised something hadn’t gone. Obedience was still pleasure, and pleasure was still obedience.
