Vampirism

9/22/2015

14 Comments

 
Since I've been asked a number of times about vampirism and its application, etc., I thought I'd talk about it here. I've discussed it some on StudioArcanis in the past, and it seems that its brought up a fair deal of interest.

For those who are unaware of what vampirism is, it is essentially the practice of feeding off of the energy of others.  What one does with that energy is a matter of personal choice and one's needs. 

Traditionally, one stricken with vampirism requires the energy to survive.  The use of another's life force is a means of prolonging their own existence. Most folks don't work that way, but there's exceptions to any ruke.

Vampires can be born, made, or the traits can be adopted.  Those are listed in order of respective rarity, with those who are born into it being the most rare.

Those who are born into it, either with some defect or simply some internal need to feed for the sake of internal growth, work differently than those who have been made or who've simply adopted the practice. Their bodies function differently, both on a physical and spiritual level. The energy they're required/programmed to siphon works as an internal mechanism that can automatically cause their bodies to heal more quickly, or can be funneled towards spirital or emotional growth. Its an automatic process that can be changed through will. Usually, those born into it become aware of their tendecies and can choose to modify them in a way that works for them.

Made vampires are usually turned into a sort of parasite through trauma.  Sexual assualt, severe bodily harm, or emotional breakdowns can cause such a thing to occur. They are generally broken individuals who have immense difficulty getting by, so instead of functioning in a normal or healthy way, they intentionally or unintentionally cause harm to others as a means of illicting a negative response. The energy of that negative response is siphoned from and then used to make the offending party feel better for a short while. These folks are often literal drains on society, be it financially, emotionally, or spiritually.  These guys are like the Westboro Baptist Church of the vampire world. They're basically trolls (no offense to the land spirit) who get off on being jerks.

My experiences with those sort of folks has been nothing other than unpleasant.

The third kind are those who make themselves into vamps.  Most techniques for it involve willfully siphoning energy from other targets, as if it were some sort of predatory game.  It can be used to help and heal others or hurt them, depending on the psychological needs and desires of the the vamp in question.

Moralizing aside, each of the three sorts can be harmful or helpful depending on their level of training, their skillsets, and the intentions they decide to adopt. Any of the above can learn to take the pain from others, for example, and then that energy can be transmuted such that it inspires healing and recuperation from whatever damage they've suffered from.

On the flip side, its possible to simply drain a target of their life force. Done long enough by someone with enough skill, one could potentially kill a target.

There are benefits and drawbacks to those who choose to utilize such practices.  While the siphoned energy can be used for personal growth, healing, glamours, protections, and other forms of magic,  there are quite a few risks.  The biggest potential sources of trouble manifest in the form of spiritual diseases. If you were to choose to siphon from the wrong person, you could take on their illnesses - for example, working on a cancer patient could cause you to wind up getting cancer. The same could be said for STDs, chakra issues, emotional problems, spiritual damage, and so on and so forth.

Its an incredibly risky set of practices, especially if you don't know what you're doing. It highlights the need for self control, as most vamps who come to me for help do so because in the process of draining others they've hurt themselves. When things get to that point, they can't heal on their own.

That risk is the reason why I don't teach others how to use such techniques.  The cost is frequently too high for them in the end.

"Westros" or the social justice warriors of the world. Different ideaoligies but the same "type" How do you use your vampirism in your practice and as a professional in helping folks?

With the use of the word “Westros”, here, I can only assume that you’re making a Game of Thrones reference…I don’t have the slightest clue why. We’re not talking about a game or fantasy novel here.

That said, I was born into this mess. No real choice in the matter, save either growing or becoming a harmful parasite. I chose the high road, so to speak, and now utilize my abilities to heal folks. Specifically, when necessary, I use my ability to leech energy to off-load negative energies and emotions from clients and friends who find themselves in need of the emotional release. I take those screwed up feelings from them and replace them with energy and emotions that are lighter, less painful, and altogether more helpful. I am a sin eater, with all that entails. Didn’t really have a word for what I did until a short while ago, but it is what it is.

The same sort of practice can be used to fight infections, tumors, etc. I’ve found that my sensitivity to the internal flows of myself and others allows me to have a “sight”, of a kind, that affords me the ability to literally see the problem in my mind’s eye. When someone has a ligament that is torn or tearing, I can usually view it and then laser-etch chi into their being where its needed to help them avoid surgery, or at least put it off. Thus, a skill that comes with my wonked-upedness is the ability to push or pull energy flows in a way that can be used to heal.

Its not always necessary for me to use those facets of my being. When they’re needed, however, I’ve found I can literally save lives. So that’s a plus, at least. ;)

Be well,

I apoligize. I meant "Westboro Baptist Church "
The flip side of the Westboro Baptist Church people of the world are social justice warrior. They are just as unpleasant as well. Just under another name.. I was trying to point out its a certain type of person who is unpleasant, and having nothing to do with the ideals label or beliefs they adhere to. Sorry for the mess.

With that in mind, what is sin and what is a sin eater?

Ahhh, gotcha. Thank you for the clarification. Now I get what you mean, whereas the (unintentional) Game of Thrones reference made no sense to me whatsoever. All good now. ;)

I agree, however, that certain types of people are simply unpleasant to interact with. It’s a sad state of affairs, at times, but a parasite is often only a parasite.

That said, sin is the idea that one’s acts could taint them. It’s a largely Christian name for an older concept, but that phrase conveys the point. In Abrahamic traditions, a sin eater would be contacted when someone was dying. The person would eat a wafer given to them by the dying person and thus eat their sins (symbolically claiming the ill deeds the dying individual committed) so that the nigh deceased could enter Heaven.

What I do is a permutation of that behavior, though instead I take the blackened heart away. I consume the guilt, pain, and sadness and leave behind “healthy flesh” on an emotional level. It doesn’t fix things 100%, but it allows the healing process to begin, not unlike using maggots to eat away at necrotic flesh. The association isn't particularly palatable, but it is nonetheless a necessary function in nature. When folks get stuck and can’t move forward, that’s where I come in.

What acts would this be? Many people view sin (or immorality if related) in socio political view. That a sky daddy will reward or beat them. You and I know it goes deeper (and is more complex) then that.

Based on my limited experience. It is the emotional content of the person that determines what happens to them. Not due to ethical violations.

As for the wafer, that sounds like a rite done in Mass. I guess it a corruption of a culture aeons past?

Truth be told, while "Sin" is the label, guilt and fear are usually what is taken. Mayhaps that's the mark of sin, if you want to get weirdly religious about it?

Much of what holds onto folks and causes them to hold onto the world in turn when they pass is guilt, fear, and the feeling of debts unresolved. Some are far worse than others, so when you're in a situation where you've got to psychompomp a spirit to the "other side", absolving them of their sins and their crimes is a way to help them to move on. By taking that from them, they're often more at peace and thus more willing to move on.

That doesn't always work, but it is a step in the right direction.

Having said as much, from a Buddhist perspective, what happens to you when & after you die is very much a matter of one's emotional state. It is said that skilled ones are able to project their consciousness elsewhere in order to choose where they will be reborn into, and I do believe that there is some truth to that because I've "seen" such things happen.

There have been times where dealing with distraught ghosts has been a matter of taking their pain, and in other situations its a matter of making them face themselves so that they may absolve themselves of such things and thus have the mindset necessary to project themselves as mentioned above. I've seen mixtures of both too, as well as other strange situations, as I've been working with the dead on and off for more than two decades now.

I'm not at all certain where the wafer bit comes from, as it could well be an ancient practice, or it might not be. My own UPG on the subject suggests that taking the spit of the dying would be the way through which one absolved another in the past. Can't and won't try to prove it, but it certainly seems to fit with my own meditations on the subject.

That's really not surprising when you consider the nature of the question and the intention of this blog. You're asking about sin on a magic-oriented blog and talking to a gent whose function involves creating change & growth. Such synchronicities are to be expected. :)

"if you want to get weirdly religious about it?"
It not a matter about being religious about it. Its more finding the whats best. In this world of multi culutralism, conflicting truths, and relativism, people can get lost. I care about what is right and wrong. It more of a question of what can be considered objectively morally. This is getting way off topic, but the concept of sin as its commonly concieved today in christinity and simliar faith of introduces so much negativety and imbalance, that it opens a person up to unhealthy influences.So I wanted to knew if you knew what the people who came up with the concept meant so I can lead a better life.

When getting into one’s belief systems and the ethical code one lives by, religion really need not be involved. I am of the mind that one who takes their moral code from their faith is likely doing something wrong, as when your code comes from an external source, should that source’s views change, so too will your own. We see this amongst ISIS and related extremists, for example, and their code has been warped to involve wholesale slaughter, rape, abuse, and a great many other horrors.

Instead, one’s code should originate from within oneself. It is fine to agree with the credo of another, but adopting it as your own and then attempting to adequately abide the aforementioned creed is shaky ground in my book.

For example, my personal creed matches up well with the Nine Noble Virtues, the views espoused within the Havamal, within Buddhism, and others. It, however, is my own. I don’t lie, I don’t steal, I don’t abuse. I do what I can to avoid tarnishing my honor or the honor of another unless such an act is warranted. I choose to avoid conflict when possible, but will defend myself and my family when necessary. I do what I can to honor the spirits I serve, but for as long as they and I are in agreement, I will continue to live my life and help my clients in my own way. That is my code. To paraphrase the military, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Having said as much, I find myself in agreement with your decision and goal here. Ultimately, the concept of sin might well be defined as anything one does which goes against one’s personal creed. This would make a great deal of sense if a person feels guilt for an act they’ve been involved with, which ties back in to the emotional weight we discussed earlier.

In a favorite story of mine (“Musashi” by Eiji Yoshikawa), Takezo learns that his life is basically a mess and decides that he needs to get his life in order. In the attempt to do so, he reads his name in another way, thus becoming Musashi instead. In his pursuit, he realizes that there is the possibility for doing much wrong while attempting to do right. He processes this and comes the conclusion that he must resolve himself to doing nothing he will regret. An honorable and meritorious focus, to be sure, and perhaps one you may find some resonance with.

"We see this amongst ISIS and related extremists, for example, and their code has been warped to involve wholesale slaughter, rape, abuse, and a great many other horrors."

I've delved into this. The common moral systems today (Islam, Christianity, Militant atheism and social justice bullies) all follow the same thread. Which is they are designed to create imbalances within the person's psyche and creates fanaticism. Which makes them cruel and abusive. I have noticed when such imbalances and fanaticism are wide spread, things such as tyranny, corruption, intolerance, poor judgement and a whole host of other social ills become common place. The society then becomes a living hell.

The people I've met most prone to fanaticism and this cult like thinking have been abused in some way.

What I have observed and concluded both in mundane affairs and spiritual that is it my duty to ensure good health within myself (emotionally, physically, spirituality) and others. Also to cease abuse of any kind when I see it or work towards ending it.

I hope this is relevant and expressed clearly

Well, you're certainly not wrong. Most extreme belief structures exist to convey power and meaning upwards, validating the beliefs and tendencies of whomever happens to rule the roost.

Scientology, for example, was created as a joke. Hubbard created it promarily as a proof on how to run a business, and he did exceedingly well at it. Now, there are plenty of fanatical believers who do the same thing as other tithed worshipers, regardless of where they hail from.

Those who buy the party lines have generally been given cause to. Either by abuse, programming, or a lack of proper socialization leading to insularity and problematic, unhealthy ideals. Everyone wants validation, and so folks are more inclined to accept external validation than they are to criticize their beliefs or the process by which they came to adopt them.
