The Enso: A Philosophy of Submission

by Orpheus Black, Cameron Ashby

Guru Orpheus Black uses parables drawn from his decades as a Buddhist and practitioner of D/s dynamics and kink to illustrate the properties of submission, both for intimate relationships and as an avenue for self-discovery. His book, The Enso, is a philosophical and spiritual encounter with the intangible aspects of the path of submission. This unique esoteric approach provides rituals, psychology, and practical applications, offering the opportunity for a person to actualize not only who they are as transcendent beings but also to be able to awaken the human animal that society has helped to repress. What is submission? Submission is giving oneself over to the holistic path of surrender. This inner pilgrimage is crucial because the lessons learned, and the processes created are the skills which will be needed in order to embark on a lifelong personal and soulful journey. Submission, at its core, is a type of agency that is free from the burdens of conditioning, habituation, guilt, and addiction. Submission is not a reflex but a conscious response to oneself, partners, and environment. It is an optimization of our personal power through radical self-acceptance. The author hopes the Enso will be a useful tool in the reclamation of one’s authentic self.
