of the most evil thing to ever walk the earth, the Antichrist. Perhaps we have unconsciously repressed such bestial and horrific attributes only to see them reoccur in what is simply another manifestation of the same evil presented by the Antichrist. Jung also hinted to the presence of an Unholy Trinity opposing the triune manifestations of God. The vampire has also appeared as part of this unholy threesome in fictional literature as in this excerpt from Prince Dracula:
反基督者(又名从海上来的野兽,撒旦之子)的身份,在《启示之书》里,依然是一个极富争议性的问题。容格会说这个角色反映了我们的集体无理性。我们用这些象征来隐藏自己不想给他人看到的东西。也许吸血鬼是被曝露出来的,在人间最邪恶的东西——反基督者——的一个象征。也许我们曾经无意识的压抑自己对这些残忍可怕的事物的印象,反而让我们不停看到的是同一个邪恶生命,反基督者,的不同显现。容格也暗示了邪恶三位一体的存在,它对抗着上帝的三位一体的显现。在以下节录选自的小说《德拉古拉王子》中,吸血鬼也仿佛是邪恶三位一体的一部分:
"You have all seen the power of God. But read what it says in holy writ. Everything in heaven has its counterpart in hell. Read the Book of Revelation. Standing against Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are Satan, Antichrist, and False Prophet, the Unholy Trinity. Against the Light is the Darkness. Against the Way is the Other Path. I am one who has trod the Path. The power of administering death is mine—and of restoring life. Look you then upon the secrets of the ages. Enter the realm of Hades ye who dare and cross the River Styx with the infernal boatman Charon. You who do not believe in the power of hell—behold!" (Myles173)
你们都已见过上帝的力量,但看看圣经里怎么写的吧。天堂上所有的东西都在地狱里有它们的对应物。看看《启示之书》吧。圣父,圣子和圣灵的对面是撒旦,反基督者、伪预言家和邪恶三位一体。光明的对面是黑暗。The Way的对面是Other Path。我就是履行The Path的人。我有掌控死亡的能力,当然也能恢复生命。注视着生命的奥秘吧!汝等胆大之人进入冥王的领地,随着地府摆渡人Charon一起穿过冥河吧!那些不信这地狱之力的人们,你们看!" (Myles173)
The similarities are too obvious to ignore. We tried to forget something long ago, something our minds decided was too terrifying to realize. The present conception of the Antichrist would pale in comparison to the evil and bestiality it once was known to possess. It is the same evil and bestiality we have transferred onto the somewhat safer, fictionalized character of the vampire. How else can we explain these bizarre similarities? Coincidence? Or Synonymous? The answer is there if we search deep enough or if we would only allow the truth to finally surface.
最后一段不想翻了,自己看吧。我觉得基本上,这个作者自己的话都是nonsense,但是他引用的那些资料都很吸引人。
