"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. - Carl Jung" 

I love Gothic, Sci-fi, Vampire, Witch, Rune & Tolkien Fantasy Genres like "DUNE", "BLADE RUNNER", "THE CROW", "BATMAN BEGINS", "UNDERWORLD", "DRESDEN FILES" & "LORD OF THE RINGS." It probably started with Bram Stoker when his "DRACULA" penetrated the pristine veneer of my Judeo-Christian Matrix & enraptured me into a deeper world of dark white bliss. I had similar feelings with Hesse's "Demian" and Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" but Dracula really possessed me with The QUESTION Of DEATH. How can the Christian Light destroy the Night? How can our finite sun/son destroy the infinite power of the DARK SIDE of the universe that gave it life and is continuously creating & destroying countless other suns/sons? It reawakened something in me, which others may call Gothic Mysticism & what I have learned to call the "XOTING".
