Exerts from Temporus methodology for the week:
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
A Memorable Fancy.
Once I saw a Devil in a flame of fire, who arose before an Angel that sat on a cloud, and the Devil utter'd these words:
'The worship of God is: Honouring his gifts in other men, each according to his genius, and loving the greatest men best: those who envy or calumniate great men hate God; for there is no other God.'
The Angel hearing this became almost blue but mastering himself he grew yellow, & at last white, pink, & smiling, and then replied:
'Thou Idolater, is not God One? & is not he visible in Jesus Christ? and has not Jesus Christ given his sanction to the law of ten commandments, and are not all other men fools, sinners, & nothings?'
The Devil answer'd: 'bray a fool in a morter with wheat, yet shall not his folly be beaten out of him; if Jesus Christ is the greatest man, you ought to love him in the greatest degree; now hear how he has given his sanction to the law of ten commandments: did he not mock at the sabbath, and so mock the sabbaths God? murder those who were murder'd because of him? turn away the law from the woman taken in adultery? steal the labor of others to support him? bear false witness when he omitted making a defence before Pilate? covet when he pray'd for his disciples, and when he bid them shake off the dust of their feet against such as refused to lodge them? I tell you, no virtue can exist without breaking these ten commandments. Jesus was all virtue, and acted from impulse, not from rules.'When he had so spoken, I beheld the Angel, who stretched out his arms, embracing the flame of fire, & he was consumed and arose as Elijah.

I am 26 years old. I am a Journeyman in Metaphysics, Religion, and the Occult. I am a Sith Practitioner.
When I am not at work or out with friends or family, I spend nights on the East Coast of the United States in my chair reading or surfing the net.
I am a Cook at a local Steak House. I have worked there for years, and see myself as one of the old mystics of the restaurant.

I am here out of an interest in Psi-Vampiric culture. I am exploring the possibility that I have an Astral Energy Deficiency. I have a desire to learn what this means for me, and how 'feeding' intentionally may benefit me in my actual life outside of the safe Ivory Tower of the internet.
I set up a Journal for here, and will be exploring the actual information here in the archives on Vampirism and how that relates to me. If you come to my page and rank as you see fit, and feel the desire to leave a message please do. If you feel the need to contact me, that too is welcome. Be advised that I may want to actually speak with you on things of a more substantial topic than simple social networking.
If Social Networking is your intent I will try to accommodate you.
If actual connection is your intent, lets get past asking for ratings and adding and "the social game", and get personal.
I love being personal and asking questions, giving my opinion .. whatever you like. I am here on a more serious note though, I am exploring and hoping to connect with some serious practicing Vampires and Occultist that hopefully know more than little ol' me. When I think of "Mentorship", I think of something along the lines of something like that.

I am a Sith Practitioner. I have been exploring The Force Realist community for about two years now and my Sith studies have lead me into searching into Psi-Vampirism and Vampire Realism. I am an Emotionally charged individual with a desire to learn and achieve personal Victories.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My inspirations in explorations and my world view are numerous, as great as I am (and so are you) I am not an island onto myself. Some inspirations of mine are some of the real life Sith I have had the chance to work with, Miles, Khaos, and Draconis.
I am currently studying the works of Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune.
Dr. Dryer's “The Power of Intention” is a big influence on me and has kept me positive even while confronting my own Darkness.
I do not consider myself a Neo-Pagan, and I have been told I tend to say typical comments of “The Left-Hand Path”, though I do not claim any doctrine belief system but my own.
I respect other beliefs, and are interested in them if they are Judaic, Pagan, or Eastern. I enjoy conversation with these people because I can normally walk away with something worth my time to think about.

I am pretty comfortable. I enjoy plenty of perks that my society has to offer. I am financially secure and “sane”. I am intentionally mad, as I tend to pick myself apart and dig inside myself often. I enjoy it lol. I am reserved where it is comfortable and I like to test excess when it is less than offensive. I like to think I am a great “enabler” when it comes to hanging out, letting loose, or getting deep.
Feel free to comment,and feel free to rate this AS YOU SEE FIT. You are welcome to ask questions, anything you want. I look forward to getting to know you, as I get to know myself.
Cheers.
P.S. Some of the links on how to do things on the profile simply wont work for me. If anyone can tell me how I can get some Music on here and maybe a nice background, that would nice too.
Feel free to stop by my Journal, comment and discuss if you feel like it. I will certainly return the favor and try to open some conversation.
