Vampire Bible Options

thanks
night

It is usually hard for those new to the Temple to grasp the fact that has been stated in all Temple literature from The Vampire Bible on, that this Temple is invisibly Guided.

Often when I meet people in person who are familiar with the Temple on one level or another I find it highly amusing that they attempt to judge what is visible – my appearance, words, actions, education, behavior – to determine in their own minds what is invisible.

Judging a book by its cover is often a serious error.

However, even more importantly, what the Temple is truly about is completely invisible.

The Temple makes a number of claims regarding your nature as well as the nature of the world and then suggests that you perform experiments to validate these claims.

Those who state that they have validated these claims do so formally as active members and are assigned up to five Grades of recognition: Initiate, Predator, Priest/Priestess, Sorcerer/Sorceress and Adept.

These Grades are only valid to the extent that the person claiming these attainments is truthful and accurate.

The Temple has made no effort to counter or screen out those who lie to themselves or others.

Why?

Why have We deliberately chosen to not attempt to test the validity of the claims of those attesting to these accomplishments?

The reason is simple.

We have known from the beginning that there will come into this Temple those who cannot or will not actually pursue the Teachings.

There will come to Us those who lack the Potential or lack the perseverance to get authentic results.

There will be those who will somehow always reinterpret their failures as success to boost up a false sense of self-importance.

There will be those who resent the elitist claims of the Temple and come here with no other purpose than to attempt to reveal what they consider falsehoods.

There will be those who, when meeting members in person, will substitute judging what is visible for what is invisible, judging others as they appear to be instead of judging their own validated experiences.

From time to time some of the members who have these hidden agendas gather together in groups and then finally – usually in a great flurry of noise and excitement – declare themselves to be independent or superior to the Temple and then attempt to form new groups.

Sometimes such efforts will include attacks of one kind or another in an attempt to denigrate the Temple and help justify their “rebellion”.

Efforts like this are inevitable because human nature remains as it is.

However all such efforts are juvenile, misguided and doomed to failure.

Why?

The answer is simple.

Everything unique about the Temple requires that you prove it to yourself.

Everything.

It does not matter what is visible.

It does not matter about Temple history, personalities, origins, or anything else of that nature.

All that matters is what is invisible.

You can only absolutely know what you personally know.

If you do not know if Lifeforce exists, or Communion is real, or Magic is real or the authentic nature of the Self and Reality – then you simply do not know.

That is the posture of the entire world outside this Temple.

When a member claims to know that any of these claims of the Temple are true and correct, they testify to these as self-validated personal knowledge.

Please notice that it is you who must say “I know this to be true because I have experienced it and proven it to myself.”

Those who lie about such things are only deceiving themselves … unless they then deny the very facts they have claimed to be true.

This is one reason why the Temple does not attempt to verify the members’ claims.

On the one hand We respect the members' honesty and assume that they are here to do what We are here to offer: mastery of the Teachings.

On the other hand anyone who then leaves the Temple, whether alone or in a group, demonstrates that they have lied about what they have claimed to know is true.

So-called “schisms” from this Temple can only come from liars.

It does not matter if they lied deliberately or later discovered that they lied due to misunderstanding.

Those who lie deliberately not only lie to others but, more importantly, they lie to themselves.

Those who have lied through misunderstanding but do not leave the Temple can always work to correct this failure through personal achievement.

Those who have lied through misunderstanding what they claimed and then leave the Temple to attempt to form something similar are simply ignorant and have nothing to teach.

If someone has lied before about these issues, they should not be believed again especially if they wish to “instruct” others.

Knowledge does not come from ignorance.

Wisdom does not rise from self-deception.

The important claims of this Temple cannot be demonstrated to others.

The Temple claims are invisible.

Taking Lifeforce is not something one can show on videotape.

Successful Communion with the Rain of Mercy is not something that can be seen by others who might watch as passive observers

Everything of importance in this Temple is, by its nature, a personal and private experience.

Everything of importance in this Temple is invisible.

Therefore the Temple only exists to find those who wish to actually achieve these experiences and then to offer them Guidance in doing so.

Thus any effort by anyone or any group to break away from the Temple is an admission by that person or group that they have utterly failed to achieve what they claimed.

Those who actually achieve results understand this and are loyal to the Temple because they are loyal to authenticated results.

They are loyal to reality.

In a very real sense it is impossible to attack the Temple or take the Authority of the Temple or hijack the Teachings of the Temple to do anything else because what you see is not what you get.

If you think this through you will realize that any effort to break away from the Temple to do anything even remotely similar is an admission of incompetence and ignorance.

The invisible is what this Temple is all about.

If you are being seduced by the visible and are considering the words of those who would denigrate this Temple, I urge you to think carefully.

Anyone who would suggest these things with Grade above Initiate cannot be trusted!

By their own testimony they have proven that either they are outright liars about their experiences or they still have failed to achieve what they have claimed.

They are asking you to trust them and they have proven that they,themselves, cannot be trusted!

Either their character is flawed or their judgment or both.

The Temple, on the other hand, asks you to trust no one except yourself.

The Temple offers time-tested instructions for experiments to perform to prove to yourself what is true.

Anything you are told by those who would undercut the Authority of this Temple relies upon you believing in only what is visible.

The Temple asks you instead, to verify what is invisble!

The invisible is the “hidden” or the “occult”.

The Temple is the one public organization that both offers the means and structure to permit the direct and personal experience of the Occult, in its truest essence.

Everything else is mere words, pictures, sounds, sensations - all of which are visible.

As Internet Administrator to the Temple I receive emails daily and commonly I read pleas from those who betrayed their own nature and left the Temple.

They beg to be allowed back in again for a “second chance”.

When I do reply I only suggest that they seek happiness in other interests.

There is a world full of distractions to divert the human mind away from its mortality.

I do not mention that they have cast away their only true hope for something More.

Something that cannot be visible because of its nature.

Your mind is invisible and the Minds behind this Temple are as well.

You do not have to believe this.

You do, however, have this one chance to prove it for yourself.

“One Life. One Chance.”

The choice is yours.
