“So powerful was the effect of the morning sun on exposed human skin, that it differentiated the humans into various subspecies. But, unconscious of this profound effect, the reality was exported to their psyche. Thus it was that myths and exotic narratives arose. Of those who were called vampires; creatures whose skins never drank the light of the sun, and who become, over time… synchonized instead with the moon, the stars… and the hoary void.

These histories are lost to our modern thought and understanding. So we have idols, rather than awareness. But skin that drinks in sunlight… transforms the human animal. And, deprived of this essential and virtuous nutrient and synchronant… other kinds of humans arise. Not all of them are merely vampiric or ghosts… yet, without the nourishment of the sun… the animal transforms. It has always been thus. It will always be thus.”
