Mastery of the Mortal Coil13:59 Jan 05 2022

"Rich and poor are states of mind and conditioning. The Strigoi
Vii thinks rich and masters their own material world instead
of being its victim. When a Strigoi Vii is monetarily broke, that
is not the same as being poor. It is only a temporary state.
—Father Sebastiaan, inspired by the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
For the Strigoi Vii, money is a vessel of energy and a tool of power.
From the Dayside perspective, We seek mastery of Our material world
and avoid being a slave to it as so many are. To the Strigoi Vii, money
is simply a tool, just as a paintbrush is the tool an artist uses to create
a great masterpiece.
The contemporary drive toward commodification in society is seen
clearly in the fact that most people are seduced by and obsessed with
material comforts instead of mastering themselves. The majority of
the mortal-minded population lives in a complacent world. Throughout history, they served as disciples of the world’s religions and as unthinking subjects of monarchy. Today, they are lulled into a form of
mental slavery through mass media tools such as television and video
games and expensive “toys” with little use value, such as overpriced
cell phones and costly clothing.
The Strigoi Vii sees money as just another tool and will not be
blindly seduced by such symbols of slavery! Instead, the Strigoi Vii thinks as a master of their money, which they see only as an instrument for personal evolution.
The individual nobility of the Blood can be most easily witnessed
through this Principle. Those of the Family do not see money as “the
root of all evil.” So many mortal-minded work their entire lives for
a faceless corporate Egregore, world government, or an impersonal
university hoping for a high salary, basic health benefits, and investment package. Most of these people will one day find a pink slip in their mailbox or be “let go” in some corporate downsizing plan.
Even if they avoid these near inevitabilities, they will be slaves to
“assets” such as a home or to credit card debts. The combination of
contemporary corporate globalization and rampant consumerism
means that most mortal-minded find themselves in a never-ending
cycle of debt and dissatisfaction. They make choices based on what
they are brainwashed into believing they want, not what actually fulfills them.
The Strigoi Vii applies money practically to increase their experiences and satisfy their curiosity about life.
Why should the Strigoi Vii Vampyre spend $ 1 00,000 to purchase a fast sports car when they
can rent it for an afternoon for $1,000 and enjoy it just as much?
They appreciate the experience to its fullest, and then spend the
other $99,000 on a lasting and more important investment, such as
traveling the world or obtaining a university education. In the end,
which is more permanent?
For those truly of Our Current, experience and knowledge are
valued above money or any material item. Cars, fancy clothing, houses,
computers, and all physical items will expire. The Strigoi Vii see the
value in these items, yet do not become slaves to them. They seek to
make an investment in themselves, enriching their own lives through
travel, education, developing their musical and artistic skills, or any
other discipline that focuses on creation, not consumption!
Of course, material items, such as the security and comfort of a
private personal Sanctum or investment in a practical car for transport
Mastery ?f the Mortal toil I2Jor a piece of real estate that will eventually make more profit, are
within the concept of the Vampyre’s material mastery.
Physical items are not you! Spend your money and wealth on your
Self and invest not in external obsessions that are simply going to decompose or be destroyed. Would you not rather have those things that are of true value to an Immortal?
