Question:
What do you find the most gratifying in working
with people one on one; their understanding of
the realities of Vampirism or simply the fact
that you are able to share a learned experience
of your own Vampirism with them?

Greetings...

I must admit here that of all the years I have experienced in the
vampire community, it is the one on one contact that I have enjoyed
the most and have found the most satisfying. With that, you encounter
many reactions many of them of disbelief and redicule, and I know
that it is difficult for a public who has been bombarded by this film
depiction of vampirism to believe that there is a real condition in
people many of us call vampirism for lack of a better recognized
name. Then there are those who are developing vampires who are
seeking help in coping and understanding something within that is
close to driving them crazy. It is these people I have had the most
satisfaction in helping them cope and learn abilities in dealing with
their vampirism. To watch people who are genuine vampires learn to
cope better with it's needs and life has been the most enjoyment for
me in my years of work in the community. I also have many times
shared what I have learned and the abilities I have developed to
access and control energy sources, but this has been an effort to
help those who need to learn the same. The worst thing a vampire can
experience is the inability to locate acceptable energy sources and
then suffer the symptoms of doing without. This is something all true
vampires have experienced. I travel and do interviews as well as talk
with people in the community to this end, to help others cope with
finding satisfying energy sources as well as controlling it and
sheilding themselves from unwanted or too much of this energy. The
most gratification for me comes from seeing my efforts in helping
others help themselves. We all share of ourselves, but it is what we
do with what we share that counts for me.
