A while ago, I was very skeptical and suspicious about the Temple. At the same time, I had a gut feeling that I should actively join the Family. It was quite a paralyzing dilemma, so I stopped, wondered and sat before the Gates of the Temple. Perhaps are you in a similar situation. So I will share with you some information that may help you. But first, it's time to ask yourself a few questions. Are You One of Us? You don't have to give a definitive answer right now. I suggest you to read attentively this Website and Message Board. You may even print some posts for future reference. Then ask yourself if those words resonate with you. Be totally honest with yourself, as you don't want to waste your time and money. Maybe you have a strong intuition that you belong here, but you are still suspicious. You have many questions and that's quite understandable. I will try to answer some of them. 1) The Teachings Even if you have a lot of money, you may be reluctant to pay $20 for a slim tome . Yet I can tell you that The Vampire Bible will give you more valuable information than many books. In fact, you won't find those teachings anywhere else, especially on the New Age market. I have already read the Temple literature several times and my study is not over yet. Of course, you may still believe that a slim tome should never cost $20. But you should then be ready to pay a lot of money for a phone book! 2) The Message Board This Message Board has many more forums for Active Members only. It's a great opportunity to access the shared wisdom of the Family. Many advanced Members are real Sources of Wisdom. However you should not expect Them to breast feed you with information you could easily find in the Temple's literature. This is definitively not a baby-sitting service for would-be Vampires. You are expected to study, work and experience. Many times, you will be reminded that experience is everything. I have two binders with hundreds of printed posts. It's a priceless source of thought provoking information from like-minded individuals and I'm really learning many things. Those message boards also give you an opportunity to share your experiences and inspire others. I found that sharing some of my experiences is a good way to anchor them in my life. Otherwise, it's easy to overlook something very important. 3) What is your next step? It really depends on you. Does this website and those posts make sense for you? Could You possibly be One of Us? If the answer is no, just look for something else. If the answer is yes, you should really consider acquiring The Vampire Bible and becoming a Vampire Initiate. It will simply mean that you are willing to test the Vampire Teachings through personal effort. Then you will be able to give a definitive answer to this question: Are You One of Us? You are now facing the Gates of the Temple. It's your decision to enter or leave. But don't be like me who sat and waited for a few months!
