- Let's face it--we've probably all fallen prey to a psychic
vampire, possibly without even knowing it. It may have been a chance encounter
with an energy predator that left us temporarily exhausted, or possibly
along-term vampire interaction with serious wear-and-tear effects on the
mind and body.
-
- Psychic vampirism is alive and flourishing in the world
today. As consumers of energy rather than blood, vampires of the psychic
kind exist in many guises but with one common trait--their own inadequate
energy system compels them to tap into and feed upon the energies of unsuspecting
host victims. The immediate results of such a one-on-one vampire encounter
are anew but temporary surge of energy for the psychic vampire and a serious
loss of mental and physical energy for the unsuspecting prey. If you suddenly
feel emotionally or mentally depleted, you may be under attack by a psychic
vampire. The unfortunate effects of prolonged energy loss are damage to
the energy system itself and in some instances, serious illness.
-
- As consumers of energy rather than blood, psychic vampires,
like their folklore counterparts, can be men or women, young or old. They
can be tween, teens, or adults. They can be professionals in business suits,
wealthy dot. comers, dapper CEOs, ultra-groovy rock stars, or construction
workers in hard hats. They can be a business associate, next door neighbor,
or even family member.
-
- Long before the popularization of folklore vampires as
blood-thirsty villains who sucked life-sustaining blood from their prey,
psychic vampires as energy-sucking predators were common. There's strong
evidence, in fact, that vampires as consumers of energy were the trailblazers
that actually inspired the legendary version of vampires as consumers of
blood. An early example with clear fingerprints of psychic vampirism is
the Biblical account of Delilah's cunning seduction of Samson in which
she vampirized him by cutting his hair, the source of his strength. Even
the Biblical version of creation in which God breathed into man the "breath
(energy) of life" and then took from him a rib (of energy) to create
woman illustrates the transferable nature of life-force energy. That give-and-take
make-up of energy is even more dramatically illustrated in the Biblical
account of the woman who, upon touching the hem of Christ's garment, was
infused with energy while Christ simultaneously felt the energy leaving
his body. On a very broad scale, psychic vampire themes were common in
many primitive cultures that routinely used rituals to embolden and energize
their warriors while simultaneously demoralizing and enfeebling (vampirizing)
their enemies. Even today, military strategies often include an excessive
show of force--such as shock and awe--to demoralize and dispirit (vampirize)
the enemy.
-
- Early Encounters.
- In my early childhood, I first became aware of psychic
vampirism through a distant relative who claimed to have discovered the
secret of living forever. A world traveler, she had studied under several
far eastern scholars who, she claimed, taught her how to communicate mentally,
travel out-of-body, and extract life-force energy from nature, including
trees, streams, and even rocks. But among her most remarkable claims was
the ability to mentally extinguish fire by drawing rejuvenating energy
from it.
-
- One of my most vivid childhood memories was a festive
dinner party at her mansion during which she stunned her guests by demonstrating
that amazing skill. Upon taking her place as hostess at the head of a very
long table graced by three large candelabras, she commented on the room's
excessive light. To the astonishment of everyone, she then leaned slightly
forward and mentally extinguished five of the six candles in each candelabra!
-
- Intrigued by her extraordinary claims of power and having
seen many of them demonstrated, I began to suspect that she extracted energy
not only from nature but from people as well. I finally collected the courage
to ask her privately whether she drew energy from people. Placing a hand
on my shoulder, she answered, "Well, of course. How else could I live
forever?" Although I admit I was left wondering whether to believe
her, I suspected that among her preferred energy sources were the well-developed
young males who made up her household staff. She remained in excellent
health and incredibly youthful in appearance until she finally crossed
over during sleep at the age of 101.
-
- Psychic Vampirism in the Laboratory.
- With these distant childhood experiences still etched
in my mind, I welcomed the opportunity as Professor of Psychology at Athens
State College (now University) to lead a study investigating the human
energy system. The year-long study, which was funded by the U.S. Army Missile
Research and Development Command, identified several important characteristics
of that system. Of particular interest was the finding that the physical
body's central energizing core and its surrounding energy field, commonly
called the aura, are each influenced by the presence of others. Using aura
photography along with visual observations of the aura, the study found
that the auras of couples whose interactions were positive tended to complement
and energize each other, with each aura becoming brighter and more expansive.
Conversely, negative interactions tended to constrict the aura and actually
induce a state of mental and physical fatigue. When constrictions occurred
in the aura, intellectual functions became slower, short-term memory declined,
and physical strength decreased by as much as 50percent.
-
- A later study funded by the Parapsychology Foundation
of New York not only confirmed the findings of our earlier research, it
showed that certain persons were highly skilled at deliberately tapping
into and directly feeding upon the aura of others. By draining energy from
another person's aura, these so-called psychic vampires not only deplete
the aura's energy resources, they interrupt the capacity of the aura's
central core to generate new energy, particularly when the interaction
is prolonged. Consistent with our earlier findings, direct observations
of the aura as well as aura photographs taken before and after a psychic
vampire interaction showed the victim's aura becoming severely de-energized
and constricted following an attack while the vampire's aura became energized
and expansive. I was reminded of my aunt's claim of deliberately drawing
energy from others, a claim that now seemed considerably more plausible.
-
- My more recent studies uncovered even more vivid evidence
of psychic vampirism and its effects. Both visual observations and aura
photographs revealed ominous tentacle-like structures extending outward
from the vampire's aura during an attack to puncture and draw energy from
the victim's aura. As expected, such onslaughts dramatically expanded the
invading vampire's aura but seriously dulled and constricted the host victim's
aura, a condition that often lasted for days. Even more seriously, vampire
puncture wounds to the aura often required weeks to heal. (As an important
footnote, all observations and photographs obtained throughout our studies
were with consent of informed volunteer subjects, most of whom were college
students. Both observational and photographic assessments obtained during
an actual psychic vampire interaction were obtained from couples who were
in an on-going relationship. All participants in our vampire studies were
offered counseling and provided instruction concerning the use of appropriate
intervention and protection techniques.)
-
- Although the human energy system is indestructible--it
is literally the soul of our being--its capacity to generate the energy
required for daily living can become severely impaired. Long-term, continuous
psychic vampire attacks can have devastating consequences that reach far
beyond damage to the energy system. Like the host victims of their blood-sucking
counterparts, victims of recurring psychic vampire assaults can become--dare
I say--psychic vampires themselves in a desperate effort to replenish their
lost supply of energy.
-
- Protection Techniques.
- Fortunately, highly effective strategies are now available
to prevent a psychic vampire attack, or once it's underway, to promptly
end it. These laboratory tested strategies can also promote healing and
repair damage to the energy system resulting from long-term vampire assaults.
They can even be used effectively by psychic vampires provided they are
motivated to overcome their energy addiction.
-
- One of the most effective protection procedures known
is the Finger Interlock Technique. Developed in our labs, this technique
is easy to implement, and its effects are instant. To begin this technique,
simply bring together the tips of your thumb and middle finger of each
hand to form two circles. Then, bring your hands together to form interlocking
circles while envisioning your body enveloped in a bright sphere of impenetrable
energy. Finally, relax your hands and simply affirm, "I am now energized
and fully protected." This simple, inconspicuous technique requires
only seconds and can be used almost any time or place. With practice, you
can use the finger interlock gesture alone as a cue to instantly activate
the effects of the full procedure.
-
- A former student who found herself under a psychic vampire
attack during a job interview used the Finger Interlock Technique to instantly
end the attack and gain control of the interview process. She was offered
the position at a salary that far exceeded her expectations. She attributes
her successful interview to the simple Finger Interlock Technique.
-
- Aside from its effectiveness as a psychic vampire protection
procedure, the Finger Interlock Technique has many other useful applications.
Overcoming stage fight, improving memory, and promoting positive social
interactions are all within its scope. You can use the technique to induce
instant relaxation during important examinations, public presentations,
and conferences, to list but a few of its many applications. A former student,
now a practicing attorney, attributes his admission to law school largely
to his use of the technique during the entrance exam. The technique, here
ported, effectively reduced his stress level and stimulated his recall
of important information. Because the technique is so inconspicuous and
easily executed, it has become popular among public figures including actors,
politicians, performing artists, and TV personalities. If you observe their
hands, you will notice many of them using the simple finger interlock gesture.
-
- That old and trusted stand-by, the quartz crystal, has
almost unlimited potential as a psychic empowerment tool. Throughout my
career as a college professor and practicing psychologist, I've found that
almost everyone is responsive to this tool. Because of its receptivity
to programming, the crystal is an excellent tool for such personal goals
as losing weight, quitting smoking, promoting career success, and even
slowing aging (See my book Rejuvenation: Living Younger, Longer and Better).
My students have used this tool to raise their grade point average, gain
admission to graduate school, and get the job of their choice. One of my
former students successfully programmed the crystal to find the love of
her life! I've used the crystal to get research grants and introduce parapsychology
into the college curriculum (a first in Alabama). The phenomenal success
of the International Parapsychology Research Foundation, which has funded
student scholarships and psychical research, is largely due to crystal
programming.
-
- At a personal level, I've found the quartz crystal to
be unsurpassed in its capacity to protect against psychic vampirism. For
that purpose, I recommend the Crystal Protection Procedure because of its
capacity to erect an outer protective shield around oneself that renders
any vampire attack harmless.Once the crystal is appropriately programmed
and then kept in close proximity to the physical body, the protective shield
remains in place to provide constant protection. The procedure is particularly
effective in protecting against prolonged exposure, such as when a psychic
vampire may be living or working right alongside you.
-
- For this procedure, you can use a crystal already in
your possession, or you can select a fresh one from an assortment. When
selecting a crystal from an assortment, first state your goal of complete
protection from psychic vampirism, and then slowly pass your hand, palm
side down, across the assortment. Select the crystal that seems to stand
out from the others, and while holding it, note your interaction with it.
If the crystal does not seem appropriate for your stated goal, repeat the
process until you find a receptive crystal. Not infrequently, the crystal
in an assortment that first commanded your attention is ideal for your
present use.
-
- Once you've selected a crystal, deprogram it by briefly
holding it under cool running water and then letting it air dry on a towel.
To install the new program, simply hold the crystal in your hand, and while
gently stroking it, invite it in your own words to be your empowerment
partner by working with you to neutralize and defeat psychic vampirism
in whatever its form. To save the program, simply say, "Please stay."
-
- The Finger Interlock Technique and the Crystal Protection
Procedure can be used separately or together to provide constant protection
from psychic vampirism. Everyone can benefit from the use of these procedures.
I use them regularly and make it a practice to teach them to my students
and patients because of their effectiveness in promoting a sense of security
and well-being by erecting an impenetrable sphere that envelops the full
aura. You can view this interesting phenomenon called the halo effect around
your own aura by first holding your hand, palm side outward, at arm's length,
and then while viewing your hand against a neutral background, slowly expanding
your peripheral vision. Finally, let your eyes fall slightly out of focus,
and you will see the aura around your hand as a colorful glow surrounded
by an outer halo of bright energy. (As a footnote, this technique can be
easily adapted to view the aura of another person. For that application,
see my book Aura Energy for Health, Healing, and Balance.)
-
- Many Faces and Unsuspecting Guises.
- As already noted, psychic vampirism comes in a variety
of unsuspecting guises. We see it all to commonly between individuals as
one-on-one vampirism, but feeding on the energies of another person is
only one of its many forms. For instance, anyone who exploits a lover,
spreads malicious rumors, ruins a reputation, or betrays a trusted friend
is a psychic vampire.
-
- On a much broader scale, psychic vampirism can occur
in a vicious, collective form as sometimes seen among organizations that
feed on prejudice and hate, or corporations that blatantly vampirize their
employees through deception and greed. Narcotics trafficking, organized
crime, and so-called "ethnic cleansing" along with discrimination
based on age, race, gender, or sexual orientation are examples of collective
psychic vampirism on an alarming scale. In its most widespread collective
form, psychic vampirism can exist at a global level. Reckless pollution
of the environment, irresponsible disregard for endangered species, and
exploitation of the globe's natural resources are examples of global vampirism
that affects everyone and literally puts the future of the planet at risk.
-
- Finally, it may seem hand to fathom, but psychic vampirism
can occur in a self-contained, parasitic form that turns inward to feed
upon oneself. In that internal form, the person ironically becomes both
vampire and victim. Examples are such flagrant consumers of our energies
as phobias, obsessions, and compulsions that can hover over us like monsters
waiting to devour us.
-
- One of my patients, a 22-year-old art major, when asked
to draw a picture of his fear of heights, drew a lifeless figure of himself
being held in the claws of a giant monster. His drawing vividly depicted
the over powering vampire nature of his fear.
-
- In my past-life regression studies, parasitic vampirism
was often found to be related to some painful, unresolved past-life experience
that continues to hound us in this life. Here are a few examples drawn
from college students:
-
- Deep insecurity and fear of abandonment were reactions
to being an outcast and homeless in a past life.
-
- Fear of enclosed places resulted from having been buried
alive in a past life.
-
- Fears of rats, spiders, and crawling insects were associated
with imprisonment in an infested dungeon in a past life.
-
- Fear of heights was associated with having fallen to
one's own death in a past life.
-
- Compulsive overeating was associated with a past-life
of extreme hunger and stealing food to survive.
-
- Stage fright and fear of crowds were reactions to death
by public execution in a past life.
-
- In a remarkable example of parasitic vampirism with threads
of past-life origin, a 22-year-old student's fear of sunlight, along with
the compulsion to wear dark shades even when indoors, was a reaction to
past-life torture in which his eyelids were cut away and he was left to
die in the desert with his arms bound behind his back.
-
- Incredible as it may at first seem, our case studies
found that knowledge of the past-life sources of parasitic vampirism was
often sufficient in and of itself to overcome this plight. In many cases,
phobias, obsessions, and compulsions with a very long history were instantly
extinguished through a sudden flash of new knowledge.
-
- One of the great teachers of all time summed up the power
of knowledge this way: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free. "Knowledge remains perhaps the most powerful force
in the universe. Among our greatest challenges is finding new knowledge
and applying it to empower our lives while making the world a better place
for all. Who could argue with that?

- From Q
- 10-14-3
-
- Now, Mr. Slate has many written achievements, but this
does not spare him from being labelled a quack. After reading his article,
it became apparent that what he calls 'psychic vampirism' is anything from
stress, anxiety, to law-breaking, bad behavior and even non-politically
correct thoughts. You see, there is no such thing as psychic vampirism,
as there most definitely is no feeding on the energy of others. A man of
his achievements must know his own dishonesty in this matter. Moreover,
he claims to have researched psychic vampirism and performed tests yet
cites not a one, most likely because this psychic vampirism is just a tall
tale, and the protection technique discussed in the article is the punch
line. Like all tall tales, this one teaches people an untruth, that their
own failure of self-control is really an attack by a psychic vampire, hence,
he would successfully turn one's own anxiety or pain into a delusional
behavior. So, in actuality, Mr. Slate is the only psychic vampire.
-
- Perhaps the real freaky part of this article is that
Mr. Slate is actually serious in finding a vast psychic vampire conspiracy
throughout the world! He writes in the article: "anyone who exploits
a lover, spreads malicious rumors, ruins a reputation, or betrays a trusted
friend is a psychic vampire."
-
- "On a much broader scale, psychic vampirism can
occur in a vicious, collective form as sometimes seen among organizations
that feed on prejudice and hate, or corporations that blatantly vampirize
their employees through deception and greed. Narcotics trafficking, organized
crime, and so-called "ethnic cleansing" along with discrimination
based on age, race, gender, or sexual orientation are examples of collective
psychic vampirism on an alarming scale. In its most widespread collective
form, psychic vampirism can exist at a global level. Reckless pollution
of the environment, irresponsible disregard for endangered species, and
exploitation of the globe's natural resources are examples of global vampirism
that affects everyone and literally puts the future of the planet at risk."
-
- What are very serious crimes he turns into a sick joke
of someone who sounds like he went off his medication. What is more, he
is casting a foolish light on psychics who are in every way legitimate.
If enough people took this quack seriously it could very likely lead to
widespread persecution of psychics.
