I stumbled upon this on the internet, on a forum and remembered our old talks on the Savage Garden forum... Read and enjoy:)

"Blood runs thicker than water" -- meaning that the essence of old Vampire social organization was the family of sires and siredams (male and female elders), and that this essence is transferred to modern patriarchal family structure in spirit via religion...principally, Abrahamic religion.
"Don't worry, I won't bite" -- usually said today when offering to accompany a hesitant stranger or distant relative home or to/from a social event, but originally meaning that one would not force ritual initiation upon a non-vampire into the mysteries of blood (read; DNA), thus assuaging fears of mistrust...biting the neck and drinking blood from the Chalice of an initiates body was the standard initiation ritual of the Vampire subculture some 250,000 years ago, and today is preserved in the Eucharistic mysteries of the Catholic Chrisitian religion as consummation of the Body of Christ (read; King Vampire)...
"The spirit is willing, but the Flesh is weak" -- meaning today that the limitations of the body defy the desires of the spirit in Man, but originally meaning the absence of conscience and defiance of nature (read; death) were the formula for perfection and elevation in the Vampire, who desired immortality. This is the same reverse "ethic" the descendent secret societies of today (ie. Masonic, Catholic etc) use to craft their idea of the Perfected and Illumined Man of "God", for he must not be fettered with conscience or adherence to wild mother-nature so that he may achieve the intellectual clarity, self-mastery and visceral character of dominance to determine the future for those weaker than he (ie. the Profane, un-initiated), and be a leader of Mankind and a subjugator of Nature.

All of these everyday, "harmless" sayings reflect the hidden mysteries and thinking of the Vampire subculture which lent its gnosis to a long lineage of esoteric cults from the Druids of Ireland, to the Egyptian Pharaohs to the most essentially vampiric cult of all time; the so-called "Babylonian Mystery Religion", whose primary cultural gift to us was what we call Judaism, and so thence Christianity and Islam.
The signs in tribute are everywhere, you only have to look. There is already an excellent thread on here about Vampirism and the Red Cross, go check it out.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
And as a momento of the old forum, here you go:
“And I knew my vision of the garden of savage beauty had been a true vision. There was meaning in the world, yes, and laws, and inevitability, but they had only to do with the aesthetic and in this Savage Garden, these innocent ones belonged in the vampire's arms. A thousand other things can be said about the world, but only aesthetic principles can be verified, and these things alone remain the same.”
