Greek myths are one of my favorite literatures of all times. I have many favorites, but right now I can't mention them because it's 12am and I can't think straight.

Which are your favorite myths?

do you get upset because of little things?

You are in a dungeon, faced with two doors. Behind one is freedom and wealth and behind the other is certain death. Each is guarded by an identical guard, one who always lies and one who always tells the truth. You have one question to ask each of them, JUST ONE, and then you must pick a door.

What do you ask?

First correct answer gets best answer, and CORRECT means you know what is behind which door under any circumstances.

Since I can remember I have never felt like this place (earth) is my home. I feel like Im misplaced or not meant to be here. Does this make sense. Im happy for the most part and I try to live my life as well as I can but when Im alone I start to feel that feeling again. Im not suicidal but I feel like Im not meant to be here or that I dont fit in. Like this is not my REAL home. Anyone else feel this way? And what does it mean?

* Even when surrounded by others, you always feel alone

* You prefer rich fabrics, tastes, scents etc.
* You are very sensitive to sensory extremes (strong scents, rough textures, sour tastes,etc)
* You feel totally different on some elemental,intuitive level to most other human beings
* You feel you don't belong in this century, maybe even this world

Important Note: Many visitors to VAU tell me that they have most of or all of these symptoms and does this mean they are definately a vampire? The answer is, not necessarily. Having all of these traits does not necessarily mean you are vampiric, nor does having none of these traits mean you are not necessarily vampiric. Therefore, let the following be your primary indicator of vampirism above all else: a real vampire, whether psychic or blood oriented, will have a craving. The vampire will either know what he/she craves, or will have a nameless craving they can't quite put their finger on, but nevertheless it is there. If you don't have a craving, you are not a vampire.




Common Misconceptions and their realities







* Misconception: Vampires are seductive, powerful, hypnotic creatures
* Reality: Vampires are just like everyone else, although generally tend to have more intense, charismatic personalities.

* Misconception: Vampires don't need jobs
* Reality: Vampires need to earn a living just like everyone else. They hold all types of jobs from the mundane to the exciting, just like everybody else also.

* Misconception: Vampires are physically immortal and/or undead
* Reality: Vampires are physically mortal, with immortal souls. Vampires live normal lifespans and normal lives and have never, at any point in their physical life, died and risen from the grave.

* Misconception: Vampires are repelled by garlic/crosses/roses/etc
* Reality: Vampires can eat anything, are of all religions and the only time they might be repelled by a rose is if the thorn happens to prick them :)

* Misconception: Vampires drink only blood
* Reality: Vampires come in two types: The blood drinking type (sanguivores) and the energy absorbing type (psy-vamps). They, just like any other human, cannot survive without a regular diet of food and drink as well.

* Misconception: Vampires are evil and know what they are doing is evil and wrong
* Reality: Evil is a relative term, and there is no being on earth who can state with any validation what is good and what is evil. There are a great many evil humans out there too, anyway. Furthermore, not all vampires even know they are vampires...let alone contemplating whether their vampirism makes them good or bad.

* Misconception: Vampires can't go out in sunlight
* Reality: Vampires can go out in sunlight, it just generally tends to hurt their eyes and/or give them heat rashes/headaches or illness (to varied degrees)

* Misconception: The only way a vampire can be killed is through sunlight/staking/add other fictional vampire-killing method here
* Reality: Vampires can die of anything from bullets to AIDS to even a stake through the heart...just like any other human being. Sunlight; however, will not kill a vampire...this is a fictional device.

* Misconception: Vampires sleep in coffins/wear capes/have fangs/ are extremely pale/cast no reflection/etc
* Reality: Vampires are just like everyone else, as I've said. Many look, dress and live quite normally. None are borne with fangs (tho anyone and everyone can get fangs surgically implanted)...all cast reflections...and the only reason a vampire might be a tad paler than most is an avoidance of sunlight (if they are sensitive to it).

* Misconception: Vampires are pretentious/arrogant beings who believe they are a superior race and who insist that everyone accept the fact of their existance. Vampires will, if necessary use threats and/or go mainstream (ie: appear on tv shows, in magazines, news casts, etc) to force people to believe in their existance.
* Reality: For the most part, vampires are very easy-going and tolerant...well as much, that is, as any other human being on earth. Many will not force their beliefs on others or share with the world that they are a vampire, unless a specific individual asks and/or is interested in learning. If that individual still doesn't care to believe that the vampire is a vampire (and/or has a difficult time of understanding the concept of real vampirism vs, stereotypical fictional/folkloric vampirism) then the vampire will generally not force the issue further. Real vampires also will rarely go mainstream with their nature...in fact, most, if anything, set about to undo the negative connotations the vampiric community has received by the influence of those alleged "members" of the vampire community (who aren't really members) who have indeed gone mainstream and committed heinous acts of crime, etc. Vampires also will not go around making threats such as "Oh...I am a 400 year old vampire and if you don't surrender to me I will kill you, etc, etc). Most will even seek to debunk such fictionalized stereotypes. Furthermore, vampires generally also do not believe themselves a superior race, just a different race...if anything, they may have more of a deeper appreciation for life than do normal human beings. Basically, vampires tend to live by a "to each his own" motto...they will not judge your lifestyle/values/beliefs etc if you do not judge theirs

I've heard there is a vortex in Wanaque, NJ...a "doorway" where "spirits" pass in and out of our dimension, and into another...Is this for real?

Several times, but not recently, I'd been sleeping, but I wake up and my eyes are open but my body can not move. What feels like several seconds or sometimes minutes, I struggle to move my arms or legs and begin to panic when I can't move. Once, I felt as thogh I was floating about 3 or 4 feet above my bed and still completely paralized. Then, all of the sudden I can move and I'm wide awake. It must be a dream.
I met a woman at a party that had heard of this phenom and told me it was called "a witch ride", but didn't really know too much more about it.

I'm in the process of trying to understand if really exist or not. No luck so far, I'm wondering if I go to a graveyard and spit on graves or challenge them to appear if they will do so or not.

Okay, I met someone from an extremely spiritual community who insisted after having hung out with me for a little while that I was an indigo child. I know what one is, and I know the friggin' characteristics so for the love of god don't copy and paste those characteristics here like they were your own ideas b/c everyone else posts the same thing with the same friggin wording!! That gets on my nerves!!!!!!! Anyway, My question is that she says I need to unlock my "something" (can't remember what) and when I do, I'll receive enlightenment and be able to do things other ppl can't. So what kinds of things are we talking about here? Because I want to levitate and move things with my mind and be invisible. lol Definitely explains the empathy pains I get if it's true.

More importantly, I would like to share with you the Truth about the afterlife. I only tell you this because I care what will happen to you when you die. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain? These are just a few of God’s Moral Laws. When you die, God will judge you on the basis of His Moral Law. If you stand guilty before God of breaking His Laws, He will send you to Hell. If God is Just and Holy, He must punish lawbreakers. The good news is that God provided a way for you to be forgiven and go to Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins and take your punishment. What you must do is Repent, which means to say you are sorry to God and turn away from your sins. Then put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because you’re a good person, but because you’re a bad person who’s been forgiven. Please give this some thought. Your Eternal Destination depends on it.
