| "In Gorean slavery, to both Masters and slaves, the collar and brand are much more than simply a band of steel and a mark upon one's flesh. Both have intense symbolic and personal meanings, which impress themselves upon the very being of a girl and mark her both internally and externally as slave. The brand is impersonal; the collar intensely personal; the brand marks her property; the collar proclaims whose property she is, who it is who has either taken or paid for her; that the brand is an impersonal designation of absence of status in the social structure is perhaps another reason why Masters do not brand their own girls; the brand relationship to the free man is institutional; the collar relationship, on the other hand, is an intensely personal one." Tribesman of Gor, page 42 |
| Paradox of the Collar |
| "The true slave is within the woman. She knows it is there. She will not be happy until she terminates inward dissonances, until she casts out rendering contradic- tions, until she achieves emotional, moral, physiological and psychological consist-ency, until she surrenders to her inwards truths.". Vagabonds of Gor, page 41 |
| "Only in a collar can a woman truly be free." Tribesman of Gor, page 75 |

| "Though I am slave," she said, "yet for the first time in my life, I am free." Nomads of Gor, page 303 |
| The collar is put on from without, but what it encircles comes from within. Slavery, true slavery, comes from within. Savages of Gor, page 210 |
| "There is something about being owned, and belonging to another which is very meaningful to a woman," she said. "It is also, in a way that is hard to make clear to a man, profoundly satisfying." Beasts of Gor, page 312 |
| `la kajira dreams' reflections ... |
| "Only in a collar can a woman truly be free." How can this possibly be true? For isn't it so, that when collared, a girl looses all her freedoms? Isn't she then at a Master's mercy and direction - without choice? How can this collaring make her free? `la kajira dreams believes it lies in the freedom of expression - the freedom of |
| being who and what a girl is meant to be - slave. Totally. No inhibitions. No holding back. No choice. In the bonds of a Master's collar, a girl can be free to totally devote herself to her Master - to live for His pleasure - to do, without inner conflict, whatever is needed to be done to please Him. Others may call her 'slut' or 'slave' and speak the words in a hateful way, but a collared slave embraces these words as a testament to who she truly is within the collar. His. Free. `la kajira! |
