Question 1:
I read somewhere that a form of vampirism is sensing or feeling other people's emotions. When I step into a room or talk with a person I almost immediately know how he or she feels at that moment. Often after a while I feel the same emotion(s). Is this a kind of vampirism? I find this very confusing sometimes. And don't really know what to do with it. I found the Vampire Church by searching the internet. Can you give me an answer whether I have a form of vampirism? And how I should handle it?
Greetings,
What you are talking about is empathy. It is a very real human ability. Research being done at such places as University College in London has shown that it is very possible to actually feel the pain and emotions of others. This sounds like what you are experiencing.
Empathic vampires obtain living energy (called chi or prana) from emotional interactions. Here are links to a few articles from VC Magazine that should get you started. More articles can be found in the back issues of VC Magazine, they are indexed on the Vampire Church website by date and subject. Vampirism Basics - http://vcmagazine.net/Vol26/zinearticle3.html

The Vampire Church also sponsors bi-weekly discussion classes where subjects such as this are discussed in depth. Information on the discussions can be found here on the Vampire Church website. http://vampire-church.com/mirc1.html

Question 2:
Is it possible to feed from another vampire? I'd like this part of feeding to be clarified for me.
Greetings,
Good question. And yes it is possible to use another vampire as an energy source, but not as your only energy source. Both vampires would need other energy sources in order for that to work.
See since both would be lacking in energy, any energy gain taken from another vampire would also be energy impaired. It would be like trying to get water from a dry well. Both vampires would need ample energy from other sources, and then they could cycle the energy between them
