Myth- conceptions and myth information of real vampires

  With the ever increasing popularity of social networking via places like Myspace, Face book, ning and even blogs. The shear amount of “fluff” sites proclaiming to be Representative of the “real” vampire community can be staggering. What is even more disturbing is the shear number of Hollywood type hype being passed off as real information governing real vampirism. The sad part is the newly awakened in their haste to seek answers often waste valuable time as members of these “fluff factories” when with just a tad more research they could find any number of sites that have good solid information.                with that being said i can go into some of the myth conceptions that are running amok within the various social networks. First there is the one that states that only the old ones or ancients are capable of knowing all and seeing all and they determine who will and wont be a vampire. Fact: we are vampires based on one common connection and that being we either cannot maintain a healthy level of Chi, Prana, or better known as life force. the difference and it is a minor difference at that is that more than 50% believe our souls are reincarnated through out the history of recorded time. In that revelation i will use my self as an example i am the tainted Soul of a child born unto the daughter of the god Poseidon. Does this not make me an ancient or old one? Now if you read my words then you will see that what I'm saying is that you are either born a vampire or you are not. The "old ones or ancients" have no control over who will or wont become vampire.
                 The second one i would like to cover is I admit a pet peeve of mine. It involves the "Hollywood" driven myth that in order to become a vampire one must be bitten or turned by another vampire. Once again I point to the above fact in saying because you are born with an issue involving your Prana, you are either born a vampire or you are not. This one is a pet peeve because it strikes at those who are newly awakened and leads them to believe they are something and more than what they in reality are. I am not saying that we are not special because my pride in myself as well as that of the real vampire community will not lend itself to saying that we are not but my friends, we're not that damn special.
                Finally, I have recently learned of one myth rapidly making its rounds through out the social networks and is again "Hollywood" driven. I'll state it in a FYI manner. If you are a real vampire did you know that you can't cross running water? OK i understand you need a minute to catch your breath from laughing. I wish it stopped there but it doesn't, according to this particular site if you want to keep a vampire out of your home then you must lay a "nude" virgin woman on your door step. In fairness though I may be wrong as to whether they must be a virgin but that is but a minor detraction from what was said.
                My friends it is exactly this sort of myth-information that is detrimental to the cause that a good number real vampires are pursuing and that is being excepted for who and what we are. We have several esteemed members or pioneers of this cause who have repeatedly gone on shows that air around the world on networks such as A&E, Discovery Channel and the Learning channel. This kind of fear mongering does not help their as well as our situations. These statements that are presented as fact on various sites is done so out of ignorance and disregard of those who take who and what they are very seriously.
                Folks there is absolutely no shortage of sites out there perpetrating these and many more myths about the modern or real vampires out there. But there are equally many sites out there offering good solid information and research and diligence will lead you to them. A good rule of thumb is if there are more than half the members treating “Twilight” as if it were a documentary, then you are more than likely on a fluff factory site. Not trying to start a generational war but a majority of sites that allow those between the ages pf 13 to 18 to mingle with adults tend to almost always turn out to be bogus and shams designed to be nothing more than Twilight and Underworld fan clubs. But all of this is just my take on the vampire community or its refusal to label these various sites as chock full of bad information. After all the very ones who are affected by these myths are the newly awakened who need our guidance.
