Misconceptions about the Vampire

 

The public has too long had misconceptions about Vampirism as well as satanism. This obviously has arisen in large part by the film industry whose many films over several decades has convinced too many about this mythical conception of the vampire...where vampires are thought of as immortal souls who prey on other souls for blood with large fangs and whose blood makes others into this immortal creature...where "turned" and "embraced" have come to mean becoming the immortal blood seeking creature that the film industry has convinced so many to believe. Then there are those who say vampirism does not exist because they also have seen too many of the same films that have convinced them that such immortal blood feeders are what vampires are and so just cannot be. Fangs/teeth have nothing to do with vampirism. So acceptance of vampirism is found little within the public.

Actually vampirism is alive and among you and around you. Vampires are simply energy feeders but of a different sort like no other. Some vamps do enjoy the blood energy of others, but blood is just another form of energy and does NOT "turn" or "embrace" others into vampirism. Vampirism is within a person and comes with a person, it is not just something that someone finds one day that is something desired. It is about abilities and needs for an energy source sensed and experienced more intensely than most. Many people "awaken" or come to realize at different times in their life that they have have this vampirism. It usually occurs with no help from others and is independent of any influence of anyone. All vamps are like any other of the flesh and will certainly die of the flesh like any other. Here is where the main misconception of vampirism is found..

Despite what the film industry would have all believe about the vampire not being able to be in daylight, all vamps are normally able to do so with just a minimun if any of some eye or skin irritation. Many just wear sunglasses and "cover up" to function fine in the sun. Vampirism is not affected by crosses or "holy water" or garlic and the other made up things so put out by the film industry. Just like most people, the true vampire is able to mingle quite well with everyone else with little or no problem, but most do find comfort in the nightime hours of the evening.

Not all vamps seek out the blood energy, but many do. It only takes small amounts of blood to give the energy the vamp needs, for in reality ingesting too much blood will render anyone to sickness. But many vamps seek other forms of energy for fulfillment. Many seek out the psychic and empathic energy of other people. There are those who have some empathic ability to experience the emotions of others so intensely that it becomes an energy feeding, although this ability does vary. All people radiate energy thru body and verbal expression that a vampire can pick up very well and use such energy for self benefit. True vampires also pick up on the elemental energy of natural occurances in weather and the moon for example for energy. More of this form of energy is usually needed for fulfillment than what is gained in the blood energy. Blood or pranic energy is more dense and fullfilling quicker whereas psychic energy usually takes lomger to fullfill a vampire's needs.

Those that consume successfully the emotional energy of others may be most successful with this among large groups of people such as at a music show or concert or large public events such as festivals. What is different for the vampire is that this energy is not only needed for health but it is experienced very intensely for most and so gives the energy needed. Intensity is a key ingreient in what vampirism is. Then there is the pranic or life energy that many vamps find thru the sexual contact of others and thru blood. Most vamps can combine many of these forms of energy to obtain the energy levels that they need. Vampires are energy feeders and parasites of the energies of others, wheather it be pranic energy or psychic/emapthic energy. Vampires prey on this energy of others for their own fulfillment as a need. That is what makes us different than others who may enjoy blood as just a fetish. This is what sets us apart. Vampires need to "feed" off this energy of others to be healthy and most do in some form daily.

Vampirism is not governed by any specific religion, although many vamps have traditional religious convictions. Religion is not a necessity for vampirism but can exist alongside it. Religion and your belief system is a choice and vampirism is a life. As long as the film industry continues to produce the "mythical" vampire movies for all to see, these misconceptions will continue. Pictures of people with long fangs bombard us, but this is not true vampirism. Most true vampires do not need teeth/fangs. Through the greedy film industry's desire to "sell" it's product, real vampirism will suffer from this type of attention getting that the film industry so needs. It is up to those who like us know about their vampirism and live it, to fight the ridicule and romanticism that the film industry brings to vampirism. Vampires are ususally intense lovers as the energy exchange for vampires is intense. We must also remember that there will also be those whose religious fanaticism would lead some to attempt to end the life of those whom they may believe is this mythical and evil creature that their "bibles" and the film industry would have them believe. Thus there is a balance between teaching others of true vampirism and the protection of self. This is where we as true vampires must join and work together to dispell the misconceptions of vampirism.

It is important how we notice our differences in relation to everyone else in our world. This will help us understand how our vampirism affects us. We all have varying abilities that define our need for energy and to fill this energy deficiency. Most of us have some psychic ability to capture the psychic thought energy of others and some of us absorb the emotional energy of others. We may feel what another person feels and as empaths know how to sense the emotions of others. Then there is the ability to seek out the energy in blood play and other pranic sources of energy such as that in sex. We have abilities that enable us to seek and utilize these energy sources better than most people. These differences in ourselves help us understand the impact and effect of vampirism on ourselves and our lives and enable us to see how we differ from other people around us. We then are effected by our quest for this energy in others around us. Our success here will determine a big part of our health. If we must be in bright sunlight, we adjust by covering ourselves and wearing sun glasses if need be. If around large groups of people, we may or may not suffer from the excesses in energy and the negative types of thought and emotional energy. We are usually affected much more by our environments than other people. Our sensitivity to heat and cold is usually more pronounced. Some of us may even have sleep problems and many deal with headaches and depression. So being who we are does require us to adapt and make changes in our daily lives. And then we also survive like so many do. We work and pay our rents and bills like any other and that requires adjustments in our time. And then we also fight the public perception of us. What films say and show and what is written about us continues to misinform and create misconceptions about us in the public. This effects our relationships with other people forcing us to deal with hate and criticisim. I encourage all to speak out to correct this film industry portrayal of ourselves. If you see it in print in the media, write the people printing the misinformation. If we do not attempt to eduacte those who do not know about us, then we are forever left with living with people who will never know what vampirism truely is. The more of us who seek to set the record straight, the more of them who will hear who we are. I believe it is worth the risk for we will continue to suffer from redicule and misconception, and our gain is not only educating the misinformed about our vampirism but also understanding how to live with and adjust to who and what we are in relation to the rest of society..

In the faith..
