Okay, it's simple. What about you makes you consider yourself vampiric? Anyone can drink blood or crave blood, anyone can draw in energy if they want to. What I'm asking is what is different about you that makes you believe that you're vampiric?

Now that I actually try and think about it, I've studied so many different theories on vampirism, I need to take a minute and see which one truly fits me personally. I'm very unsure now, usually I took to the "leak" theory, but now that I'm sitting here thinking, I don't know. Give me a bit and I'll post again soon. Go ahead and tell us yall's story, though.

first i think it's the difference between 'can' and 'need'

Well exactly. Vampirism to me is person with a energy difficiency and is prone to being more adept to mental abilities. What each vampire needs for energy depends on the vampire.

I don't mean what makes anyone vampiric, just what makes you personally vampiric. There are many accepted theories as to what makes someone vampiric, I want to know personal vampirism.

As for what you said, Hellen, this is the point I was subtly trying to make in my first post. To me, it is an undeniable need for energy and/or blood. But as for my personal vampirism, I need time to meditate on it. I'm oddly confused for once. >.<

i want to answer but i'm not sure if i understand what you mean by 'personal vampirism' ,you want us to describe our particular traits that make us different ? or our personal philosophy about it ?
i also would like to know the theories you know , if you have some links please post them here ,i want to check how they fit me

By personal vampirism I mean what makes you personally vampiric. We are all different, therefore our reasons behind our vampirism must be equally different. For example, Dagaon goes by the idea that he functions at a higher level of energy and his body can't keep up with producing enough energy to sustain himself.

I have a few I'll post now on psychic vampirism. The first theory is like Dagon believes, that we function at such a higher wavelength or level of energy that our bodies can't produce enough energy to sustain our existence in a healthy way. In this way, we burn off energy more than our bodies produce it, therefore forcing us to resort to vampirism to gain the energy we're not getting.

Another theory is that something has damaged our spirit or our aura, and this damage causes a leak in our subtle bodies. A slow leak, yet it reduces our energy daily, forcing us to constantly take in more and more energy to replenish that lost energy. This can be either a conscious decision to damage the aura or can be from an outside source.

There is also the Kheprian theory of alteration. Similar to the previous theory I just wrote, this vampirism takes form from an alteration made to the subtle body. This alteration was made ages ago, in Egypt in the time before the land was known as Egypt, in the time of Sep Tepy. They took the base chakra and altered it to seperate themselves from the Universal energy, freeing themselves from the cycle of forgetting during reincarnation in which one forgets everything about their past life to take up their new lives. What this also did, though, was to seperate them from their Universal energy source that kept them in balace energy-wise with the world around them. This made them weaker physically, yet energetically they gained a more complete awareness of energy and spirit. In this way, an altered spirit is another theory that causes vampirism in people.

I personally take to the alteration theory. Ever since I discovered the Kheprian order, I've felt a flood of knowledge and understanding. I feel so connected to them, in a way I can't explain.

But anyway, hope this helps, Hellen. I'll see about posting on sanguine vampirism theories tonight. I gotta go to work now. TAke care, and be safe.

My theory is simple, the vampires whom embraced me.

For my self it is because of the ones that brought be to be who I am. I drink the blood not because I like the taste or even really crave it. I feel as though I get weak when I go for long periods of time with out it. No sun light don't hurt me but no matter how much time I spend in the sun it tends to bother me after a while. Sun glasses and sun tan lotion seems to do a world of good.
Of course there are other things but these are of a few.

i think we are another race , nothing else

i am trying to search for our history ,and how our presence is documented ,trying hard to separate truth from fiction , and i think the best way is to go directly to the source, the ancient texts
