Random or Destiny?

I just got done reading a VERY interesting book,
called "The Door to December" by Dean Koontz. I read
all 518 pages in 4 short hours. The book was
mesmerizing, intriguing, and so starling that it
really opened my eyes to a new theory of my own
vampirism. I feel this book has more to offer to the
reader than just a plot and characters. If you really
look for it, not just reading...but absorbing the
words, I think all of us could find a bit of
ourselves, essentially psychic vampires.

What if we are not “born” as vampires, seeing as how
we are born and made just like any other child? What
if you could train yourself, as a child, to become
something other than what you are…to step away from
the shallow human existence and learn to need, want,
and crave more?

“The phenomenon of astral projection was based on the
theory that two entities existed in each human being a
physical body of flesh and an astral or etheric body-
sometimes called a psychogiest . In other words, each
person has a duel nature, including a double that can
function separately of the physical body.“

“Some psychiatrists are certain that people are born
with the ability to step in and out of their bodies
whenever they wished- all people, everyone. But they
are also equally certain that the confining, limiting
nature of all human society and teaching-- with its
long lists of dos and don’ts, its overly restrictive
definitions of what was possible and impossible-
effectively brainwashed children so early that the
development of their astral-projection potential was-
like many other psychic powers- never realized.
Isolation was a way of purifying the child’s
concentration, a way of sealing out all the
distractions of day-to-day life in order to focus a
child’s mind more intensely upon psychic matters.”
-The Door To December, by Dean Koontz

After I read this book, I realized that the “astral
projection” theory is basically traversing energy. So,
if this girl could be trained to stay in a
chamber…floating in water…for a week straight, she
would lose energy by absorbing it into herself. She
would need to leave her body to get out of the
chamber, to get more energy. ……which is what she did.

Now, none of this has happened to us, I’m sure….but,
all kids drift and daydream. All kids run and play and
“wear themselves out”, and wear out whatever person is
stuck with the bad luck of needing to watch them
during this period. The babysitter leaves completely
tired out, and the child is rambunctious and bouncing
off the walls.

Children have an uncanny ability to see what adults do
not. Maybe its because they don’t know any better,
they haven’t been brainwashed by “right and wrong”,
they only know what their senses tell them.
Daydreaming and drifting let you enhance and sharpen
your senses….but most adults tell the children that
they are imagining and to stop it.

What if, at this period in our lives…….we are taught
the pure essential feeling of losing our energy….and
regaining it through something in our mind, something
that we do when we’re halfway asleep, but not really
asleep.

What I’m trying to get at is, what if the etheric self
that we all have is an energy form that can neither be
created or formed, but can change shape? What if this
energy form can be merged with the physical form in
children who concentrate enough to do it? What if we
create our own destinies by the power lurking in us
when we transcend the narrow veils between the worlds?

The “other self” that the child in this book creates
is a monster. It preys on the people who hurt her, who
put her in the desensitization chamber to begin with.
In that same essence, we prey on the people who hold
the energy we need. Not prey as in the sense that we
hurt them, but we do hunt them by ways of seeking them
out and we do take something of them to help
ourselves. What if everyone has a vampiric self, they
just never opened the door because they were told it
was “bad” and “wrong” and technically brainwashed as a
child. All of us are highly imaginative, so even if
our parents scolded us…..I find it hard to believe
that the people who create such poems and artwork did
not open their own door to intuition.

I hope you all will go check the book out at your
library, it’s a great book. As you can see, it really
made me think about a lot of things- this thrown
together article is kind of what came out of it. For
me, I guess…its easier to believe that I had some way
of doing this to myself, rather than seeing it as a
“freak of nature” or just some random, odd occurrence.
I like to think that I’m special, that I had the power
and the senses to become a vampire. If you agree with
me, or would like to talk about something like this,
just email me!
