Are You Curious..?

And it's never going to end.
Life is an Endless Cycle of the same ol' thing, over and over again.
The only solution is to realize your Actual Potential and achieve it - In this lifetime. Extract yourself from the distractions of the Rat Race and rise above.

Originally located in the old Jefferson Theater Building on the corner of Cordova Street and Cathedral Place, the Bright Center for Excellence is - on its surface - a community outreach program through which San Augustin professionals can network and combine their considerable resources to better themselves and the communities in which they thrive.
Through the Bright Group's self-actualization courses and exercises, individuals come to better understand themselves and their place within both the Group and Humanity as a whole. The stated aims of the Bright Group are to provide a precise path for its members, leading them to the understanding of one's true nature and their relationship to self, family, groups, mankind, and all lifeforms, the material universe, and the supreme being.
At the center of the Bright Group's inner hierarchy, discoverable only through strict adherence to the Organization's principles and completion of the Paths - a series of codified requirements designed to take the Adherent through the process of advancement to a higher state of purpose and being - the organization is guided by the Bright Child.
The Bright Child is a 10 to 14 year old child, usually a young girl, chosen by the Hierarchy to examine the Paths and make any necessary changes to help better guide the Bright Group into a better tomorrow. The Bright Child is treated by the organization as a holy figure. Given preferential treatment above all others, the Bright Child is afforded every hospitality, and they are tutored by a wide array of the Advanced - individual Adherents who have advanced along the Paths and earned a place at the Child's Table - the advisory panel which oversees the Bright Child's care.
In actuality, the Bright Child has always been Dasha Bright, the Salubri founder of the organization, who used the Bright Center for Excellence as a means of filtering her herd while simultaneously allowing her to teach and spread her beliefs to a wider audience.
In 2019, the headquarters of the Bright Center for Excellence at the Old Jefferson Theater was attacked by the rogue Nosferatu calling itself Nightblade. Dasha Bright was slain, and the Bright Group would have disbanded if not for Joseph Smith, who arranged to have the Organization temporarily relocated to Hope Tower. Smith, who is called Average Joe, or AJ, by those who know him well, intends to use this time to rebuild the Theater while he and the Brujah River Daye search for another Salubri to take Dasha's place in the High Seat.
The Bright Center for Excellence can now be found in the Community Outreach Center on the third through fifth floors of Hope Tower, and accessed through an elevator in the lobby. As is in keeping with their operating procedures at the old theather, The Bright Group remains open and accessible to all who wish to inquire, and at all hours of the day and night.

Joe came up to me tonight and told me I was going to meet Dasha tomorrow night. He said she was impressed with my initiative with the Homeless Program.
It's so weird to be nervous about this. I remember the the first time I found out about her. I was so PISSED! A child is in charge of this!?! I thought I'd wasted so much time. Then I heard her speak, and it was like she was speaking right to me. Her words reached into my soul.
I hope tomorrow goes well.
June 5, 2019
I've sat her for a half-an-hour trying to figure out where to start. I'm just as an-xious about writing this out as I was about going to meet Her in the first place.
Okay. I'm just gonna say it. I actually said it out loud: I think Dasha Bright is some sort of God - A Goddess. Like some kind of Eastern Bodhisatva or a Brahma or whatever.
Her room was an old dressing room from when the building was a theater. She was sitting cross-legged on a big, red pillow, and She smiled when I was shown in.
It was the two of us. We talked about the city, family, my struggles at work. Then we talked about my problems with resentment and inadequacy - like - She just knew me from the inside.
I said how that kind of insight was a little creepy, and She just said, "is it all right if I make you a little uncomfortable?"
She has three fucking eyes. THREE! FUCKING! EYES! I mean - right there, in the
center of Her forehead. It wasn't as unsettling as you'd think. When it looks at you, you feel calm somehow. It's like when She sees you like that, you can really see Her.
The real discomfort came with the way She knew about everything - all the secret, shameful shit I don't even write about here. She didn't say anything, only "there are stains on your soul - wounds in the heart of you."
She said She could fix them. Heal me. I only had to ask Her. I said Please.
She said okay. Then She said She would like to drink some of my blood. That's when I noticed the empty glass goblet and the razor blade on the floor next to her pillow. "Not enough to hurt you," she said. But she didn't have to say it. I already knew she would never hurt me. I nodded.
Her eyes opened wide and I guess I had an epiphany, or a religious moment. It was like there was a white light coming out of her, enveloping me. I think I was asleep for awhile.
I dreamt that I was a vampire and I hated it. I dreamt that I understood the cosmic wheel and the only way to rise above it. I dreamt that I was a monster in a child's body and I was ashamed and afraid and I only wanted to find the right student to pass on my gift and my knowledge.
I wept openly in the Girl's arms when I woke up. I haven't felt this . . . Free(?) in all my life. I . . . I grew up a little tonight. I told Dasha She didn't have to be afraid. I told Her She isn't a vampire, but if She wants my blood again, I would gladly give it to Her.
I'm going to put in my two-weeks tomorrow, and start working at the Bright Group full time. What we're doing is too important to just be a part-time thing. This isn't church.
I'm so giddy right now. Even hours later. I finally get it.
