Here's a couple of vampire-themed websites sent in by visitors. First we have the
Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency. According to the blurb on the site, "From 1868 to 1975, the Federal Vampire & Zombie Agency (FVZA) was responsible for controlling the nation's vampire and zombie populations while overseeing scientific research into the undead. This site is a tribute to the men and women who served in the FVZA, especially the over 4000 Agents who lost their lives fighting to keep our country safe." And next we have
The Temple of the Vampire. If you want to live forever, then all you have to do is join the temple. The catch is that in order to join you have to buy their book,
The Vampire Bible. That's a good sales gimmick. I should try something like that for my book, such as if you want to achieve a state of absolute enlightenment, then you have to buy my book.
Comments
Furthermore, the big difference between the ToV and CoS is that the CoS does not proselytize or suggest that its members spam forums for converts.
However, lack of knowledge does not change anything.
At best, when someone steals from the Gods and then Calls to Them, then They will not answer.
At worst, They will."
Here's a fun one, plastic-fangers trying to warn against reading "unauthorized" copies of the vb.
I wonder who this is......????
Could it be....the Omen!
Nahshon I couldn't agree with you more....
I saw this guy get blasted on LttD for trying to mimick Nemo's writing style...
It was hilarious!
Poser!
However, I do feel childish name calling and personal attacks detract from the content here."
Make up your mind Private.
Lol! I hear you. 😊
Ohh Well! 😝 They are probably snickering at us puny humans and bragging to each other about making us their slaves so we are both even. :lol:
Then one day, not long ago, I decided to "test everything, believe nothing"...and found that it was all a big lie. It was just me in the mirror.
Do you want all the Temple "secrets" revealed?
I'm selling all the bibles and books.
In any case, I'm sorry you lost so much time and effort involved in the ToV. May I ask what you were doing the whole time before you actually decided to "Test Everything. Believe Nothing."? Were you just pretending? Do you think the other Adepts were pretending as well?
That's a very good question.
I would venture to say that there are Adepts that are pretending (for the sake of the profit) and some who are completely bamboozled!
What do you think, Pretending or Bamboozled?

"Is it not all a Labyrinth ?
From the moment we are born, we are shown the walls of our surroundings. The rooms, the halls, the staircases. The floor, the ceiling.
We are shown which paths to take, which turns to avoid, which doors to open and which to leave closed. In time we may decide for ourselves the paths we take, which may or may not be what was planned for us.
We learn to open doors. Metal doors, wooden doors, creaky doors, sturdy doors, blocked doors, open doors, locked doors. Removable stones, drapes, hatches, windows, grates and oubliettes.
Sometimes we open doors that we were told to avoid. Sometimes we see a passage where others did not look. Every now and then a curtain may hide half of the room we are standing in. Hallways may lead to doors we never knew existed.
At times we will find directions. Left behind by those who have gone before us, or by those who also dwell in the Labyrinth.
We may choose to follow these directions, or not. They may lead us where they say they will, or not. They may led to a dead end, or to a door we are unable to open. Or they may go on forever.
Time and again, or perhaps only once, we may find an ancient map, or a symbol, or a feeling, that promises to release us from this Labyrinth. We may feel an unexpected wind on our face. We may see Another running down a faraway corridor. We may hear a rapping from an adjacent hallway. A door may swing open when no-one is near.
And if we follow the lure of this experience, we may discover that it leads to a mirror.
One that we can pass through.
And we learn that we are not the only dwellers in the Labyrinth. And that the walls and doors should not confine us.
We learn that the Labyrinth has levels we have never seen before. We learn how to move around in those levels, as well as how to shift between them.
We learn to understand the Labyrinth, to move more swiftly to where we want to be.
We discover hidden shortcuts, crawlspaces, and optical illusions. We learn to walk through the walls. To open doors without touching them. To leave traces of where we have been, or to remove them as needed.
We learn to manipulate the Labyrinth, to bend it to our expectations and desires.
And we learn that it is we ourselves who created this Labyrinth. That there is no need to solve it.
It is not a puzzle.
We need but to stop creating it."
Yes, I guess I was pretending. Or as they would call it. "suspension of disbelief". And I am sure that goes for all the others.
One thing that I find sort of interesting about the Bibles, and which you've proved accurate with the pictures in your auction, is that the skull in the Winged Skull of UR gets progressively more alien-like as you move up in the totem pole and reach access to higher "Teachings." I've mentioned in earlier posts that the Temple utilizes a constructed language called aUI (which was reported by its author to have been received from a "little green space man"), which confirms to me that the "Teachings" are just a bad amalgamation of occult energy techniques, pseudo-Vedantic philosophy, alien conspiracy theories, and supposedly Sumerian concepts, overlaid with a thin veneer of Vampirism.
It's kooky religion at its finest.
But now I realise I can be happy with what I have. A beautiful wife, a clean, healthy life, no secrets, nothing occult. And I know I can live long if I look after myself.
I am happy being normal. I love my life the way it is and I'm happy. The TOV took much from my life.
I hope you don't mind me asking this and I don't understand how you made it to Adept and discovered it was all a lie? So what led you to the final conclusion that it was all a lie?
And did you have any experiences that validated the teachings from the vampire bibles because you made it to Adept?
And what do you mean by it was just you in the mirror so could you please explain what you mean by this?
Thank You :coolsmile:
I meant just that - it was just me in the mirror. My reflection. Nothing else. No Undead Gods. Nothing but my own reflection.
You did the right thing. Good luck on your Ebay auction. I just took a peek and see that perhaps you will at least get half your money back!
I just downloaded all of the Vampire Bibles from a bit torrent. Well, all except the Priesthood Bible was available. Found a zip file containing, The Vampire Bible, Predator Bible, Sorcerer Bible, Adept Bible and Bloodlines.
I'm actually reading the Sorcerer Bible right now having already read the other first two years ago. This one is just as deluded and disappointing. Also a slow read because of that small annoying hard to read font they use. There are loads of typos as well.
I was once told they print the Bibles this way so that the reader can pay closer attention and retain the material. Truthfully, it actually masks the simplicity, short length of the books and all of the bullshit. When I'm done reading I'll fill you all in on some of the highlights and important texts. I'll even copy and paste sections here. 😉
I didn't mean to put you on the defensive, I was only curious and wasn't trying to "debate" with you or judge you.
And thank you for sharing your experience with everyone here and I expect more to do the same.
I understand why you want to do this and you will detract from this forum by doing so. It would be a copyright infringement and they would contact the MoH site to have it removed.
Sorry to be a buzzkill and you know how they are. 😖
You may very well be correct. I won't post it here. It's not worth having MOH removed. If anyone is curious I guess they can download it on bit torrents. All of the bibles with the exception of the Priesthood Bible is there under one zip file.
It's easy for religious leaders to ensnare their followers with promises of eternal life, bliss, salvation, etc. But that does not make all of these people "retarded".
I think the last poster seems more retarded as he is unable to capitalise his I's and uses truly retarded netspeak terms such as "LOL", along with dismal punctuation and grammar.
I think that your interpretation of what you read is biased by your effort to justify your recent investments.....if you catch my drift.
Mr. "curious" or is it Mr. "by curious", have you contemplated that possibly $800 to Lu Yang might not be the same $800 that it is to you.
I can understand that you would be offended by the thought of throwing money around when it would probably take you months if not years to get $800 via your paper-route.
I think you should be humble in your decision to send Nemo your money as I'm sure you already have.
Ok...exercise over...
I'll second that notion!
Good job and nice set-up on Ebay!
Here is what Lu Yang said and I quote: "Yeah. eBay. So far so good and I have some good offers on the stuff. I mean, as far as I know, I paid for the stuff so it's mine and I can do whatever I want with them.
Yes, I guess I was pretending. Or as they would call it. "suspension of disbelief". And I am sure that goes for all the others.

He spent over 800 dollars pretending. If that's not retarded then I don't know what is.
It might be in that section, or it may be somewhere else, but Nemo outright says that the Temple's philosophical view is idealistic monism, the belief that mind (not matter) is the only thing which exists. That's in direct conflict with the Church of Satan's materialistic view of life. The ToV thinks everything is pure consciousness, and the Church of Satan thinks that everything is pure matter. That's obviously a huge disconnect.
The Temple's idea of idealistic monism fuels a religious philosophy based on TIAMAT, the ancient Sumerian goddess of chaos reinterpreted as the ground of all being. The point of Vampirism, as practiced by the ToV, is to deidentify with the self/ego and realize that everything is really TIAMAT, that TIAMAT, the Dragon, is the only thing which really exists. This realization is the basis for the ToV's claims of immortality. Once you realize that you're really the Dragon, you live forever.
This is almost exactly the same thing as Advaita Vedanta. Hindus who adhere to Advaita believe practically the same thing. The universal Brahman is all that exists, and the atman (personal soul) is just a small part of the Brahman. It is really only the Brahman which exists, experiencing everything simultaneously as all the things in existence. The only real difference is that Hindus believe in an undying soul, and the ToV doesn't.
The ToV also doesn't believe this is the only life, like they claim. They believe in a form of reincarnation, enfleshment is probably a better term, whereby an Arisen Vampire who has deidentified with the self and become one with the Dragon can take over the body of an unsuspecting human victim. He can then live out his life in that body until it dies, and he has to choose another one.
Ridiculous? Yes. Spiritual hogwash? Most definitely.
I have to agree that what you wrote, especially about the Advaita Vedanta, this is very accurate and true in my opinion.
Good job! :coolsmile:
Good job Nahshon in Nowhereville...you summed it up!
Nahshon I've been meaning to ask you...You ever been to the site where the "Black House" once stood?
Really though, good rundown!
Well... I hope you like looking at condos.
Yes, I've seen that picture before. They're really hideous condos too.
Paint that place black and it would be a legacy! If I had the extra money, I would try and buy the place and paint it black just for the Hell of it...no pun intended!
So what being said about the Temple of the Vampire here? Any thoughts?
First the note, the note was written in ancient sumerian code and is telling you not to smoke so much pot before you watch twilight next time.
Second the picture, after careful study and hours of communion I have foreseen that Nemo is actually 2' tall and has a big round head..
Ahhh the joys of Immortality!
Please take a look at the link above.
In this thread, you can see a number of plastic-fangers barrage this newcomers introduction post, many thanks to the CoS members that also posted on this thread a couple of which I have much respect for.
Back to the plastic-fangers and their non-chalant poaching techniques. Fishing from the pond again, hopefully this fish isn't fooled by the bait.
Babydoll-Three links to the ToV below her measly "Hail Satan", it's obvious why she is here isn't it. One of the links is to that stupid video...I hate that video, I hope it stops working soon!
Vitaeviternus-One word to describe this poser..pathetic...Actually two more words..nemo,wannabe.
Nemo-Common Magister/Adept Satanist/Vampire Alien, could you atleast show the CoS some respect and put your billboard at the bottom below anything that has to do with Satanism!
You pathetic scumbag, the minute that you see somebody who comes to the boards with the smallest bit of promise, you and your cronies rush in with your colorful banners!
Rojo the Rooster-Respect to you for removing the banner that so undermined your intelligence but shame on you for trying to fool us with subtlety. I am enlightened every day when the sun comes up!
I even have photos of "big shot" Adepts like Linguascelesta and AEnigma.
And if you go to the Wayback Machine, you can look at the older versions of the ToV website and find links to members' websites.
This thread now seems like a hoax in and of itself.
Looks like the ToV won out. Too bad.
