Hey all...
I was reading another posting about one of you that asked what "abilities" psi vampires have, and it struck me as a few of you answered...wow...that's the sort of things my mom, my brother and I have...is it just my human ability or is it vampiric? I asked myself...wow...this is freaky...let me explain our abilities...
My mom has this effect with lights...she walks by them and they go out...she's also an empath and "absorbs" others' emotion...
My brother is psycic and so am I...though, I am pyscic through dreams and visions...my brother can "Read" people...and he kind of takes energy from my mom and I and others when he is depressed or ill...I have abilities beyond prophetic dreams...I can move flames and make them do what wish...sounds strange, but go with me...lol...and, just, weird things "coincidentally" happen...I here whispers and deep breathing...I have seen ghosts since I was really young...and I'm obsessed with everything about vampires...
Is it just my imagination, or could it be a possibility to be "more than human"? These are only a few of the things that have happened...but my mom, my brother and I have gone through YEARS of having really strange, unexplainable things such as these things happen...so, can you give me some input? What are other abilities of psi? Wow...this have me really creeped out...this happens a lot...me being creeped out...it's really eerie...can you help? Thank You All so much for taking the time to read this...May the Gods Bless You!!!

Dont be creeped out :o

Sounds like your family has a lot of psychic abillity, or psi abillity, or whatever you want to call it. It doesnt mean you're psi vamps, psi vamps just 'tend' to be strong in such areas too. The defining bit for being a psi vamp is that they take in the energy of others, and that they need this energy. Some say psi vampirism can be on energy in nature, but i tend not to think of this as being 'vampiric' unless you think of the world as a great big living thing and they are vamping the world... but i'm getting esoteric here.

Except for energy intake, the psychic abillities of psi vamps is no different than other psychic enabled people. It includes ideas from the paranormal, psychic abillity, psi abillity, magick working, hypnotism, etc. Lots of different things.
Psi vamps just tend to be fairly good at some of these things. B)
Plenty of non-vamp people are fairly good at many of these things too though :D

Many people have psychic abillities. Some of these people are called a 'psion'. All psi vamps are psions, but not all psions are psi vamps. psi vamp is just one type of psion. A psi vamp is a psion with very low energy, so that they need to take in more energy from outside, conciously or unconciously. There are plenty of psions who are not low in energy.
Ok to clarify, there are people with psychic abillity, of that group some are psions, and of psions some psions are psi-vamps.
here's a couple great glossaries of terms :

So what you are saying Kath is that Psi-Vamps are peole who take energy from different sources to further thier own. If that is true then we are all psi-vamps in a way, our energy has to come from somewhere. Unless you mean that they take the energy from other people, but if that is the case wouldn't the person have to be channeling to do so?

Not exactly, I believe she means that Psi Vamps require energy from the personal essence (or Ki, as I prefer) of others (energy that they naturally collect) to thrive, most people either have their own personal essence, or take from the environment. Also, generally, psi vamps need to take in energy more than humans anyway.

Hmph, so according to The Psion Guild, I personally have the following abilities:-

Mental Aspect - Emotion, Primal
Physical Aspect - Kinetic Energy, Matter, Time, Momentum
Psi-Energy Aspect - Direction, Velocity, Intensity, Type, Generation, Capacity, Resistance, Density, Flow

I have...
Oh wait I haven't even been able to center yet, so I haven't gotten anything. But I think I would be a Born-Psi since I have that spontanues (I think thats how you spell it?) TK.

It's spelt spontaneous. So, what exactly would I be classified as, considering that I had slight abilties from birth, but they remained at a very low level until about the time I hit puberty, when they just got a huge jump start?

^_^
Thanks Kath...
It's good to know, on one hand...I think if anything, I'm a born-psion...I think it might be better to be psion than a psi-vamp...because then you don't have to get most of your "strength" from others...but you can if you wish. I've gained energy from others before..it leaves you in this really interesting state of mind, body and spirit...it gives power...life..almost..and, for vamps, it does give life. Those sights were really helpful, though...I was looking for those things, anyways...I know I have dream telepathy, and telepathy with only certain people, but I can only send visual images...I can kind of control a flame...I practice with candles where there is no wind...but then, I'm also trying to harness this psi, this power...I've been reading into magic...and, it's interesting to note how much magic plays a role in Vampirism. Is it possible that vampires were "made"? With Magic perhaps? After all I've seen, it's hard not to believe in demons, and magic and vampires and things like that...it's things like these that control the world...from underground...I think in times like these, we must all harness out "powers"...I've learned to accept that all of us have a power or ability...it's born into, but some just don't believe they have it, or they don't know how to use it, or they are afraid to use it...I use to be afraid of being outcast for the things I can do...but, how can any of us deny what makes us powerful? That's the beauty of psi-vamps...they utilize their abilities, and that goes for all different vamps, demons, etc. as well...I admire vampires, and other things like that, because, even though their secret about it, they still manage to live the way they do, and use what they are given...
Why can't we all use our gifts without fear and just be who and what we are?
Thanks to all of you who are helping in the discussion! Ya'll are awesome...you trully are... ^_^ ^_^

Umm, i'm not sure why the person would have to be chaneling, but then i've never chaneled, so maybe there is some aspect i'm not seeing. psi feeding on other people is much like manipulating your own energy, or ground energy, like in magick, but instead you manipulate other people's energy, move it out of them and into you. its more of a stretch, and some people might resist, but it can be done. B) Some psi vamps think that we have a deffective chakra in the lower abdomen, that we are either missing this chakra entirely or its dammaged, many chakra traditions sugest this is where new energy enters the body or is created, or comes from a diety, or something. I dunno. Main idea, other people get energy in some 'normal' way, and vamps aren't doing this correctly so they mooch of other peeps ;)


yep, unless you especially like having a really vicious draining attack in your bag of tricks. But gees it'd be great to not 'have' to feed all the time. one plus to vamping though, if you get low on energy for any reason its easy to fix ;)

wow, immages are the hardest, i cant send immages.


Beats me, could be. Who would have done the magick to make them then? A lot of psi vamps believe they are reincarnated many times. If that were true then maybe we did it to ourselves way back? I dunno. My 'interlife memory' is crappy.


A lot of people are pretty nasty towards psi vamps. Most people just think its all nuts, and most of the people who do think its realistic think its scary and 'wrong'. There's been a lot of really nasty stuff said about psi's in some metaphysical books in the last 30 years. Most of it is pure fiction. such is life.

I agree with Kath's statement about psi vamp's getting critisim.
I've caught myself doing it...
one of my friends is a psi vamp, and I have to admit when she first told me I was a lil more than freaked.

Why is it that we're more afraid of psi vamp's than ones that drink blood?

Because it's one thing to drain blood, but it's another thing to drain energy, people consider it more of a violation that way. Much like people fearing mental attacks more than physical attacks.

Your guys' conversation is very interesting. Definately openminded people.....i like that.... :P I have a ? for u......do u ever find that most people do not understand what it is u'r talking about? Or better yet.....do they,what i call,run away? And this energy u all talk of.....i find it fasinating. Can't honestly say that that is the way i describe it.....but no difference....it's one and the same. Energy is energy....what makes the difference are the indivduals and how they apply it(energy). What would u consider someone who could survive without someone or somethings energy and yet at the same time could not? They could survive but never really live life. What about 1 who can suck the life force out of anything or anyone?
Thru empathy.....nature.....anything?What if all the person neeeded to do was to learn how to harness the energy?....to find the balance?.....What would that make them? Comes knowledge....comes power.....comes responsability. ^_^ Thank u for u'r time. Sorry if its too far off the subject.....thinking aloud i suppose

Oh and by the way.....your last statement is so true....mental is far worse than physical. :D

The exact function of the mind is a constant source of speculation. There is disagreement on a variety of theories from different academic disciplines and research projects. Some approach it from a primarily neurological point of view, believing that the entire secret can be revealed by understanding the function of the brain. Others tackle it from a primarily psychological point of view, especially taking into account emotional and subconscious behavior. Others, drawing upon a rich fund of teaching, analyse this fascinating subject from a metaphysical point of view, including in their findings such concepts as the soul and spirit of man.
Thousands of years before any modern writings on the function of the mind, psi vampires existed, reputedly dwelling in seclusion in the forests of India. Their extraction of the "energy" formed the basis for later eastern philosophical teachings, which were passed down orally at first from student to student, and were later written down in the ancient Brahmin texts.
It is not necessary to have a detailed understanding of just how we psychic vampires function and it is probable that very few of us who have written about this subject fully understand it ourselves. Those who really know about this do not share their knowledge with others too freely because the information, if misused accidentally or on purpose, could be extremely damaging or fatal.


P.S. That is why youre more afraid of psi vamp's than ones that drink blood.

I think that psi vamps are more scary because its all much more clandestine and outside of the normal awareness. I realised why people are uncomfortable with the idea when i met a 'hacker' in a chatroom recently. The idea that my computer's privacy, and even its safety and functionality was really at the whim of this other person... well i didn't like that feeling very much. Its a feeling of a lack of control, its unnerving.

Its different for physical things. You have an understanding and direct control over the physical. If your friend reaches out to take your sandwhich from you, you either share willingly or tell him/her to go soak their head. They might fight you for your sandwhich, but its all 'understandable' and you have a lot of control over it. If you arent a psi vampire (or hacker for that matter) then psi vampirism (or hacking) can very easily give you an uneasy feeling.

Also, a sang vamp might only take a very small amount of blood out of you... I mean, you have 6 units of blood on average. And any more than a couple ounces of blood and a human stomache will get fairly unsettled. So its not like a sang is gonna seriously deplete you, at least not in one feeding. Some agressive psi vamps on the other hand, could make you really feel ill very quickly.

hey amaunet13 how you doing im interested in what you can do and was woundering if you can help me expain mine?

I believe that the reason that psi-vamps are scarier than sanguinary vamps is simply that the psionic energies are more obscure, esoteric. People that don't know much about the subject are at least familiar with the idea of bleeding, so sanguinarians are a familiar subject. But for them, energy vampires are just... weird. Different. An unknown quantity. And for those that do know a lot on the subject... well, it's hard to know the field without playing the field, and getting involved. And for a practitioner, having your energy wicked away is a pretty scary prospect.
You can't bleed to death or catch diseases from psi feeding, so literally it is safer of the two methods. But the preconception is that it is insidious, dangerous, the nastier form of feeding. If our culture as a whole were adapted to the Aquarian age, and energy transference and manipulation were treated as the mundane exercise that it is, we wouldn't have this problem.
