The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Some would agree that Eldership can be attained by simply sitting on ones derriere long enough...and that after a certain length of time one acquires it simply by ones normal age. I humbly disagree. There are two passages to age for us...and one has nothing to do with the mundane years.



I believe that in order to attain Eldership one must do oh so much more than sit around waiting to grow old...and to be "seen" does not constitute growth either...again...in my most humble of opinions...



It is only through earnest hard works ~ deep study, meditation, and long practice that we begin the process of spiritual prosperity...and through these hard works we then are moved through our individual life ascensions...learning the archaic, often-times painful lessons that we are meant to ~ innately...and through the sheer will of who we are naturally...



If we seek Eldership, or any other "level" simply for the title...we are not walking our true path...



Eldership is given as a gift after a greater spiritual ascension has been delivered...and those who feel they have been given this gift, and who may have abused it, perchance you may want to more closely examine the true meaning of This life...perhaps go back to study, or for some begin to study...meditate and practice, knowing full well that it is okay to begin again, or to simply...begin...now. There is no shame in being a humble, beautiful, submissive creature...there never will be...(how else can you learn the lesson, unless you submit to the teaching, be it independent or by your gifted guide?) ...as a matter of "fact" I strongly feel that once you learn to release the ego and begin to study as a dedicated Childe...and bow to the unknown...you then may very well be on the path to Eldership/Greater Spiritual Ascension, and what a sublime journey it is...one that we can eventually share with those who seek to understand who they are ~ in relation to who we are.



It takes a great deal of energy to guide others on this journey, most Elders understand this loving sacrifice that is made in order to aid those who suffer what we once have, and still do at times ~ the sense of feeling alone, detached, the inner turmoils, the feelings of starvation and neglect from society, and that constant lingering - all consuming hunger that never completely dissipates...no matter how hard we try to believe it will...it is our power and our weakness...beauty and the beast ~ no matter our "age."



Yes, you can attain Eldership, but not by the normal years alone. One much younger in normal years may achieve Eldership more swiftly than one who is much older in the mundane years by passionate, sincere hard works...while the "older" individual sits around demanding respect by age/time alone.



Humble yourselves to be the Chylde...revel in the artistry of her voyage, and know you are loved...



I myself have much to learn, I anticipate the next ascension ~ no matter the labyrinth or pain involved, and am grateful for each lesson given...including the current one...

I bow my head and remain This immortal Chylde~



Namaste!
