Dracula questions Death

"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 Genres in Movies like "BLADE RUNNER", "MATRIX", "BATMAN BEGINS", "UNDERWORLD", "DRESDEN FILES", "PERFECT CREATURE", "LORD OF THE RINGS." & my Favorite the Long Version of "DUNE". It probably started reading Bram Stoker, when his Book "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 & is continuously creating & destroying countless other suns/sons? How can I make the darkness conscious? These questions reawakened something in me, which others may call Gothic Mysticism & what I have learned to call the “XOTING”.
