Vampires, we are people that are mortal and need to take in energy because we lack enough of our own, we use the energy we take in to balance out our energies. Not all will agree, but then, I would like to know what you think we use the energy for. Sounds simple. Yet we are complex and misunderstood. How? We all feed differently, have our own level of energy we must absorb in whatever form we are accustomed to yet we all take in energy.
We all have different ways we feed. There are the Sanguine that drink the blood, the Elementals that feed from storm and earth energies. There are the Empaths, which take in the emotional energy of others. The Pranic feeders who feed from the sexual energy of lovers. I can continue to point out the differences, but I've made a point on the differences already. You still want to know how we are all energy feeders? Well...what is it that we are taking from the blood, storms, emotions, etc? ENERGY. Plain and simple. The way we 'label' ourselves to point out our differences of the way we feed is just that, a label. We still take in energy. Emotions have energy, storms give off energy, the moon has energy. Blood carries energy, but in a stronger form. It's still energy is it not? Some will argue that the energy is different. Sure it is. It's chaotic, it's pure, it's weak, it's balanced, it's negative or it's not. The point of the matter, is it's still energy. The point of this article is to open the eyes of those who don't understand this. I want whomever reads this to understand vampirism a bit more. You can't see energy, but it is there. Our thoughts are energy, our movements are created by the energy of our thoughts, our thoughts are electronic impulses in the brains, we feel what we feel because of energy. We think because of energy, the images we see are converted as such because of energy. We eat because we use up energy, just as we sleep to "recharge" our batteries. Without energy, there is nothing. No thought, no life, nothing.
Thousands of years ago for example, the Chinese were aware of this energy; Chi as they call it; learned they could use it to help speed up healing, for self defense, for awareness and that it flows in everything. They were/are also aware there is good and negative Chi. So energy is not new at all, especially in this manner. Vampires use energy on a different level.
We won't die if we don't drink blood. We don't go out in huge 'clans' looking for victims. We don't go 'hunt' others for food. Not all vampires worship *Satan. Those that do go out looking to prey on innocent people are in need of serious mental help, they call themselves "vampires". They end up seriously harming or killing innocents. They give real vamps a horrible rep and a very bad name. Vampirism is not a cult either. It's a condition. One that affects us on every level. Just as caffeine does to one that is addicted and depends on it for that boost. Ours is energy. We need that energy.
