The Basics
I believe it is time for change. There are many of us that are forced to live their lives differently than they wish. You know who you are. You are the ones who have been discriminated against because you do not believe in what you are "supposed to". You are the ones that have discovered it is not okay to be different. I know you are tired of it. I am. We have lived on the sidelines long enough. I will tell you all what I believe in confidence that there may be a soul out there who knows how I feel and wishes to help in freeing the last of the oppressed.
I feel that if I am to make any progress with you all, you should know a little about me. I am Lilithe Amara Aislin. I am an Ancient, which means I was one of the first to gain conscienceness on this Earth. I have helped others awaken their own soul. Ayana Asilanti My Best friend and fellow Immortal has helped me with showing others our world. I plan on making a group for people like us to meet, and for those who are struggling with their memories to get help from Awakened souls.
I am making an organization. Kind of like a church, but not exactly. Anyone is allowed to join whether they believe what I do or not. If you want to just see what is going on, feel free. I do not want anyone to live in secret anymore(unless that is their wish of course). I will create an application for people to fill out if they want to take part. I review ALL of these myself. This is merely for placement purposes because, like I said everyone can join. By placement, I mean that everyone will get a sort of awakening status, just so that we better know how to accommodate you. I will also create a glossary of terms to make these more clear.
I label my faith as Immortality or Vampyrism. Yes, this would make me a vampyre. *note: true vampyres spell it with a "y".* But before you start looking for your garlic and stakes, you must realize that I am not the myth of a vampyre that you see on the television or read about in fiction novels. I look at the Immortal aspect of Vampirism. I believe we all posses an Immortal soul, not an Immortal body as the books and movies portray. I believe we are reincarnated and that with a little meditation, we can remember our past lives. Indeed there are many religions that are based on this idea, but mine is very different in that there are stages of Awakening. Awakening is essentially remembering your past lives. If you are fully awakened, you can look back on those memories as clearly as your last birthday. or what you had for dinner that night. I also believe that we all have a True Name that has to be discovered to be fully awakened. Immortals will be given a sort of placement. As I am a vampire others may receive the title of Lycanthrope or one of other various creatures which are based on a number of different things.
Many of you are probably confused about a number of things but I promise things will clear up as we progress. First I should tell you a bit about the days of old as to better understand what I am.
Long ago, before mankind existed, things were much, much different. My definition of mankind is not alike to yours, so I will describe it to the best of my ability. Mankind, humans, if you will, created when Immortals began to forget and even reject their soul's history. Though many were still young or even living out the first of their lives, they thought it better to forget and begin anew. Thusly, they separated from the Immortals and lived apart from their kin. They decided not to teach the young ones to cherish their memories, and they were soon lost generation by generation.
A whole new race of people were born with no memory of their past lives. These are my Humans. They began seeing the Immortals as liars upon meeting them, unknowing of their own roots in Immortality. The humans did not predict the outcome of their actions. They began to fear death. With that fear soon spawned other fears. A complete fear of the unknown took the human race, and with that, a need to explain what they could not understand. They began to create mythical beings to sate their fear. Deities that fashioned every aspect of existence. This was much easier to believe for them. Some thought of a singular god or goddess, while others created vast and intricate deity hierarchies and family trees even. These quickly became belief systems, and thusly, the downfall of peace itself. The humans had created many different beliefs, which they defended to the death. Wars were fought over these beliefs. Then they began to find other reasons to fight. Territory, love, possessions. The downfall of society itself.
