Question:
"You have noted and taught many times that one has to be adaptive to the
natural changes that occur with real vampirism. How has your vampirism
changed and why? And how have you adapted to these changes?
"
Greetings..
In the life of the real energy vampire, learning to adapt to change is a real necessity.
Change in ones life occurs easily as we have experienced with changes in relationships
and donors, changes in where we live, changes in climate, and changes in our jobs. In
each of these areas we may be depending on an energy feeding source, and when that changes,
it could disrupt are life giving sources of energy that we as vampires need. This then
requires that we have the ability to adapt to these changes in energy sources. Our
adaptation can take the form of using alternative sources of energy if we have them and can
use them. It may even require that we make changes in our environment thru relocations and
changes in our work.
I learned as a teen that I have empathic abilities and can benefit from certain emotional
energies of other people. I also found early in life that I could gain needed life giving
energies from pranic (blood and sexual energies) sources thru the intimate relationship
with a donor. I even found that I could benefit from free psychic energies from pets and
weather events such as the energy of wind, rain, and the thunder of storms. Here I had
alternatives at an early age if one or more of my sources of life giving energy became
unavailable.
I like any vampire who gets older have found that I have had to adapt to other energy sources.
When blood born viruses such as the Aids disease came on the scene, blood testing and screening
your donors became even more important, (not that screening your donors were not, but
over the years, its importance has increased to me). I found that seeking donors became more
difficult with safety in mind. There is not only blood testing, but also screening for
drugs, alcohol, eating habits, and other things. Add to this trusting what your donor
does when you are not with that person. So in time I have about given up on the reality
of finding safe donors I can trust, and have relied on my alternative sources of energy
which I thankfully learned to access earlier in life.
I have come to rely more on psychic/empathic sources from people and pets, and the elemental
energy of the earth around me. I even found that music and a good film can be helpful at
times. However, another element has entered my life now that I am fifty years of age.
I now find it even more difficult to adapt to changes in these energy sources than I did
when I was younger. My only answer to this is just aging. When we age, our abilities to
do things become weaker, and I believe this is true with most things including my
vampirism. This has required that I focus more on these energy sources more than I had to
when I was younger. There is more effort involved and I personally find that I am giving
off this life giving energy while acquiring it. So here I am pointing out that more attention
has been required of my vampirism.
I am also finding that I seek to keep changes in my environment to a minimum. That is to say,
not moving, keeping the same work and habits, and relying more on established friendships and
weather that I am use to. Change is more of a challenge to the vampire since it also affects
our vampirism as well as other things in our lives. Learning to live with our vampirism over
a lifetime is something we all will experience but it is something that is another added
burden as well as requiring more of our attention.
