In this section we have a short discussion about Psi Vampires
and Symbiotics. Both are usually fully human and, while they are related
types, they are distinctly different.
Psi
Vampires
We will discuss Psi~Vampires, also called Psi~Vamps, first
because there are simply more of them.
Psi~Vamps are people who have the ability to drain away
energy in all of its forms. To do so enhances their mental and physical
energies as normal feeding would for regular Vampires. A Psi~Vamp may
or may not be psychic, in the normal sense, but this use of the terminology
means the psychic ability to drain another individual of energy or life
forces. It also means such an individual can drain thoughts, emotions,
life force, mental and physical strengths.
About 50 percent of Psi~Vamps do so automatically without intending
to, or even realizing that they are doing so. Everyone has known, or
shall know, a person like this, be it a sibling, lover, relative or
friend. No matter how little time you spend with them you always feel
tired and weak when they leave. The other 50 percent of Psi~Vamps do
so with intent. Some do so just to increase their own power, while others
view it as a challenge --- a sort of game, to see how much they can
take.
Like Vampires, Psi~Vamps can sense another of their kind
and sometimes attack mentally just to see if the victim feels it or reacts
to it. They enjoy the hunt and love the challenge when the victim feels
it and tries to block or responds in kind. Then it becomes more than a
Battle of Wills.
There is no magic attached to this, it is pure mental and psychic
energy and force of will. One of the prevailing beliefs is that the
Psi~Vamp attacks from the Astral Plane ... controlling the Astral State
and his/her own Astral Body. Another view is that the Psi~Vamp is in
some way ill or unable to maintain their own energy levels for some
reason, so they draw energy either unconsciously or deliberately from
another to sustain their own energies. This does not mean the Psi~Vamp
or Symbiot is a creature or spirit or anything else living on, or originating
from, the psychic plane. By doing so he/she can launch an attack upon
the Astral Body of anyone else. By eliminating negative energy, such
as can be seen in auras, the Psi~Vamp can actually heal.
Some Psi~Vamps care very little that the energies they
are draining could seriously hurt their prey. Especially if the victim
is weak from illness, injury or is in a diminished mental state due to
mental illness, physical illness or severe depression. By feeding on these
victims, the loss of both physical and mental energies to the extreme,
could cause death.
It is believed that some very
rare Psi~Vamps try to make themselves immortal by preventing what some
call the 'second death'. They claim there is a second death which is
the death of the Astral Body which occurs shortly after the death of
the physical body.
It is also generally believed, that in these rare instances, if this
state of increased physical energy to the astral body is sufficient,
the astral body of the Psi~Vamp could possibly be freed, upon the death
of the physical body and yet maintain its own separate 'living' (i.e.:
continuing) astral state. In so doing, the astral body of the Psi~Vamp
would then be free to continue the drawing off of energies of both astral
and physical bodies of those remaining alive. In a sense, gaining a
true immortality.
Involuntary Psi~Vamps often do not realize they are draining
the energies of those around them. It is thought that these people do
so on a non-conscious level. In many cases the involuntary Psi~Vamp is,
in some way, ill or in some sort of diminished capacity. The energies
being drawn from those around them may be an automatic action taken by
their own astral bodies in an effort to gain strength to preserve or create
a more healthful state for its own physical body.
Symbiotics
This is perhaps the other side of the coin, as Symbiotics,
or Symbiosis, is a form of Psi~Vamp. But instead of feeding off of the
life force, and physical and mental energies, this Vampire feeds off of
the spiritual energies and electro-bio-chemical energy found in a person's
aura. Feeding off this energy can also have a negative effect on the source.
However, this Vampire is known for draining the negative energies away
from or off of the aura, allowing these energies to be naturally replaced
by the person's own individual auric replacements.
Example: A person is ill or weak, his aura is black, gray or greenish
yellow, or perhaps purple. If a Symbiotic begins to drain off this energy,
the person's own recuperative powers become stronger and the physical,
mental or spiritual healing may proceed at a faster pace.
Most Symbiotics do what they do with intent -- unlike their cousin
the Psi~Vamp, only a few do so unawares. Psi~Vamp is short for Psychic
Vampire. Again, a Symbiotic may be a real Vampire ie, Classical, Inheritor,
Night-timer, etc. or a human. The term Vampire is used in this case
mainly because there is a draining or feeding, even though most regular
Vampires are not Symbiotics or Psi~Vamps. Any human may be a Symbiotic
or Psi~Vamp. The victims are not usually aware of a Symbiotic, as the
results usually makes the so called victim feel much better. Most Psychic
Vampires and Symbiotics are not blood feeders, and therefore are not
generally considered true Vampires.
The term psychic, as in having ESP or other psychically
related qualities, does not in this instance refer to a Psi~Vamp. Most
humans are indeed psychic to some extent, in the normal use of the word.
Because they are human, Psi~Vamps and Symbiotics may indeed also display
some degree of psychic ability but, the term Psi~Vamp or Psychic Vampire
does not relate to this characteristic. Most Psi~Vamps can see auras easily,
or may be trained to do so. Where in general, most bloodist Vampires do
not have that capability but may be able to develop it. True Vampires,
on the other hand, do tend to be highly psychic in the true sense of the
term, as a normal function of their being. Psi~Vampires tend to be human,
have normal human life spans and, except where already discussed, are
not immortal in the normal sense of the word.
As with humans, and vampires, Psi~Vamps come in all types
of personalities. There are good, there are games-players, and there are
evil people, just as with any other society. Most Psi~Vamps who are intentional,
for one reason or another, but do not seek to harm anyone in their efforts
to gain energy to sustain themselves. Many automatic Psi~Vamps desperately
wish to stop draining others but it is something they can’t control,
and if they could control it, or stop it, it could be detrimental to their
health. The majority of Psi~vamps and Symbiots should be seen in a positive
light, because most of all they are people, just like everyone else.
