My Thoughts on “An essay on Psychic Vamperism” by: Lyconyx / Silver
https://www.vampirerave.com/db/entry.php?id=7856&category=6
Lyconyx states his stance on Vampirism as real, and notes on the difference of Psi-Vampires and Sanguine. The author also briefly makes not on how Vampire realists are not immortal.
Like Castaneda and Agrippa, this treatise on Vampire Realism utilizes a “Three-Fold” world perspective.
The first world is The World of the Physical:
This is the, in my interpretation, the physical world experienced though the Basic senses.
This is the Plane of Influencing Energies and Manifestation.
The Second world is The World of the Mental:
I interpret this as the plane of Desire, Inquisitions, and Intentions. This Plane is the building blocks of Man created Manifestation. This is the World where the Soul Resides.
The Third World is the World of the Astral:
This World is the Energies of the Universe created by the culmination of individual life.
This is where the workings of the Psi-Vampire are concerned in this treatise.
The last point in the authors opening to the essay is how the individual will feed different than other individuals. I feel a negative connotation from the original work in this, for myself, I feel this makes the exploration into these ideas all the more enchanting. I will benefit and use these ideas uniquely from others. My Astral Body is made of Psychic Energy that is consumed by my Soul in The World of the Mental.
Vampirism itself from this seems to describe as stated, a deficiency of an individual in realm of the Physical World. These Vampires “feed” off the Astral Worlds Energies, with the consequences taking toll on the surrounding life of the Vampiric individual.
I tend to suffer from lethargy myself. Strangely, enough I am in the service industry, where I am surrounded by individuals all day. I will have to evaluate my social interactions to see if I see a difference in others behaviors when I feel tired, or when I feel energetic.
I have no desire to unwillingly feed off of people, I do desire the self-responsibility of intentionally feeding.
The Author states that his beliefs do not speak for the entirety of the Vampire Realist community. For all intents of this I will have faith in this piece of work to start building my own framework.
To Quote Lyconyx/Silver on the progression of Vampiric practice:
TOUCH – Ability to take energy when touching someone.
LOCALE – Ability to take energy from close locale.
TENDRILS – The Astral Body 'grows' tendrils to reach further than close locale.
EYE CONTACT – The eyes are always thought of as being able to easily transfer energy.
FAR LOCALE – The ability to take energy from a further distance.
RANGED – The ability to take energy from people a long way away.
To feed from physical Touch or from physical Locale, in this perspective do not need to be voluntary as the unaware Body will feed of The World of the Astral when it is needed without intent.
Eye Contact is where the author claims that unintentional Vampire may rarely achieve without “Awakening”. To further on the authors ideas, Eye contact might be a more condensed and direct feed.
Local seems to require more life to be effective, and is a more generalized area of effect.
Far Local and Ranged are just Locale at a distance. The further away I venture out of direct contact I lose a desire to entertain the possibility that all this is true. For my own pleasure I will focus on “Awakening” and intentional Touch, Locale, and Eye Contact energy transfer.
Ranged gives me a feeling that I would rather experience the Third World than use it as some feed. Doing this certainly feeds my emotional self, I have my own traditions and exercises to get to the Source, but perhaps there is something here to explore other than some long distance feed ...
There are three forms of energy to absorb, Life Force, Emotional, and Elemental.
Emotional feeding may have a side effect with “negative emotions”.
Being Sith, this might be a closer concept for me to work with. I have a stronger sense of self, and I may find something to do with my emotional intake. I believe this type of feeding is associated to “The World of the Mental”.
Life Force Energy is the energy in all things. To feed off of this is to feed off “The World of the Astral”.
Elemental Energy like Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, are again Occult references that remind me of “The Three Books of the Occult”.. I interpret this as feeding off “The World of the Physical”.
In my own interpretation of energy transmutations from feeding, I go off the idea presented by the author that Psychic Energy can be “converted to other energies such as “Kinetics”. Through my own Psychic deficiency, I feed off the Psychic Energies in the Astral Plane. The Psychic deficiency effects my Emotional and Intentional World of The Mind. This effect makes it harder for me to manifest my intents and desires into The World of the Physical. Feeding myself on the Astral Plane, trans-mutates the Energy into ambition, desire, conviction, and drive that fuel my actions in The World of the Physical. In this world I am psychically fed, and I am more awake and alive to produce Life Energy, electro energy in the body, kinetics in my environments to use in exerting my influence.

I read a thread, "Dark Ideas".
Typically, there are more mature characters rolling their eyes and distancing themselves from what they see as "immature, spotlight jocking".
This kind of thinking might be fine for seasoned or tired explorers that have found all their truths and answers. It is something foundational, and bedrock, to see the people they disdain though. They are searching themselves, how they feel about things. They may indeed not like what life has for them. This self - actualization and self - awareness is a big step in self development. I smile and clap my hands for these people as they celebrate their individuality and exploration into their own "Darkness".
To do so gets a lot of slack. I feel we tell these people to "quit bitching, and start enduring life because it is a lot harder than this." How about praising these people and giving them the tools to uses these feelings to actually DO something about it! To influence their surroundings rather than endure the mundane and accept life as plenty of tired and intolerant critics of these people have.
These people suppress and criticize, and are perhaps the biggest proponents to the creation of Darkness in their own lives. When I think of Darkness, I think of the desires, wants, and actions we suppress and keep to ourselves. I think of our fear of consequence and failure dominating our heart with our intellectual minds. I think of latent skills and abilities that are hidden to ourselves in the deeps of Carl Jung's bag. Inside of this bag that we carry behind us our whole lives are pieces of ourselves that we threw in there. They devolve into barbarianism, so that when we find the courage to overturn our heavy bag, we find things so unfamiliar to ourselves that we can not begin to take ownership of them.
I am a Dark person, as much as the next person. To say I am is to admit that it is indeed there, and that is an important step in development. I am more than a “Dark Person”, I am always on a Journey to bring the pieces of me into harmony, to find meaning in the winds of the maelstrom. If I was to say “I am a Dark Person” and that lead you to think, “That guy must have some kind of insecurities.” I would say you are dead right. It means I have things about myself to overcome and achieve. It means I am not satisfied with myself, my life, I am not satisfied with the status-quo. And all of this is not wrong as others have tried to tell people to believe. It is okay to feel this way, to talk about it, and to make something from it.
I am a lot of things, but what I enjoy the most is being the dedicated explorer. I do not know what I will find in this venue, but I hope something of value and maybe something of entertainment. I'll find out.
I have been studying the esoteric for a short time and had an intrest on Vampire and psi-vamperic ability. I found this site and figured this might be a place for me to try and quench my curiosity.
I am a practicing Sith Realist, aspiring Mystic, cook, brother, generally good guy. *wink*
